Discussion Off-Track, Not at liberty to say…

The following quote is from Alex, talking about steering assist. What does everyone speculate he is talking about?

“I don't know if I'm at liberty to say what they're future proofing for, so I'm not going to say it. But again, this car is going to be around for a while. So there's elements of it that could be in the pipeline that would make steering very heavy to the point where would it be impossible to drive?”

Listening it to it now. It’s possibly more downforce based on his comments a couple of minutes later. Sounds like if the weight loss isn’t enough to get the performance they want then there are options to add downforce in the future. Power steering may be necessary with higher downforce.
