Cougar SV - Constant Steering Radius?
Hi guys,
Like many I'm awaiting the wide release of the Cougar. I've been looking at the pictures and trying to find out more information about the unique (and very compact) steering setup of the Cougar. Schumacher calls it the Constant Steering Radius system - does anyone, perhaps some of the team drivers, have any pictures of how the setup looks like or works? From the pictures, I'm guessing they've moved the pivot point of the bellcranks to the front of the car right into the bulkhead and the draglink is actually behind the pivot point? If this is the case, the bellcranks actually pivot in the same rotation as the steering knuckles. Are my guesses correct or is it some other feat of engineering genius? Thanks in advance. |

Haven't many team drivers been racing and getting home at midnight then going to work the following day?

Hopefully when they're rested and recuperated they might shed some light on my question. |

Not sure I could post a much better pic than this one.

Word of thanks to all who clarified how the steering setup works.
Seems this setup alters the steering geometry. Looking forward to seeing the results on the track. |
