  Without Ackerman the two front wheels are trying to travel through totally
different arcs when going thru a corner, thus you are scrubbing speed and also
inducing understeer.

    This is the first time I have seen "Ackerman Effect" mentioned relative to
    Racing Triumphs. Is it really important or relevant to a TR sliding
through the
    corners and sometimes with a locked rear?
