Steering Rack Ratio...

What's the lowest steering 'lock-to-lock' that you would consider comfy on a road going Se7en style vehicle (assuming 13" wheels and a fairly normal front tyre-width)?

The Caterham I had was 1.8 turns lock-to- lock on 175's and was no bother at all... anyone gone lower than this?

The caterham 1.9 turn rack is a bit misleading. Its actually the same ratio rack as a 2.4, but with stops inside the rack. The steering arms are then longer on the uprights to keep the lock the same.

So in effect its the same as having a 2.4 rack overall with regards effort...
