the adavantages of a high sensitivity at wheel

i learnt that real drivers use low sensitivity something like 30:1 wheel lock ratio

i use 10:1, 200º at my g25 and 21º lock in game with the sensitivity increased at 100%

i read once in a motorbike magazine that when in an accident situation the bike brakes and turns more than you think

so this is the high sensitivity advantage that you make it turn more than you really dare, not to mention practical faster reaction time for you have to turn the wheel less than if you had lower sensitivity

so what steer ratios do you use and why?
as i said i use 10:1 if i used 30:1 i would be like 2 seconds slower per lap
 
mmm confused , my settings differ rarely , wtcc 540/19 adac 540/20 dtm 540/21.... this gives me more control ; i catch drifts easier etc and on fwd hang onto my tyres better . having such limited rotation is just to unrealistic for me , i tend to watch inboards of a lap in the car and see what his hands are doing at various corners ; with my settings im not far off

i did some quick research

seems im not so off the wall after all

edit:

wait i dont understand, take the fbmw if i divide 450 among 20 it gives me, 22,5, why then the 11,2:1 ratio?

do it like this
steering rotation/2/lock = ratio
steering is how many degrees left or right of centre you move and how far the wheel moves
so for you its
200/2/21=4.76:1 which is why i think its a bit scary

mine 540/2/19=14.2:1 i use that for fwd drives
memots is 900/2/30=15

both very similar

Mine sometimes has to be set on the fly as some of the racing sims prefer the profiler set at 900degrees.

In Race 07 I usually set 540deg with 17 to 23 degrees of lock depending on the car/track. If I mistakenly discover I'm running with 900, then I crank the lock number up to over 30.

I never saw the maths before, that will make it easier to correct it in the future!
