Normal steering operating torque / forces depend on a number of variables. You can build a 200 kg car with very narrow, high pressure tires, at zero scrub radius, with zero KPI, and zero caster, lots of steering ratio, and the steering input force will be very small indeed, maybe as small as 1.3-2.7 Nm. This car would be worthless to try and drive competitively as it would have a ‘dead’ feel, and give the driver no feedback to his steering inputs. The opposite extreme would be a very heavy car with wide, low pressure tires, lots of scrub radius, lots of KPI, caster, and a low steering ratio. You better start working out now if you want to drive ‘that’ car.
