steering degrees of a rally car
I heard this game was a sim and thats why i bought it. In the cockpit view the wheel only turns 90 degrees either side is that true to a real rally car?

Change the steering saturation in-game. I've got mine set to 45% and it's around a 400 degree setup.

As a former real life rally driver i'd say it depends, but you would NEVER have the steering rack set to give you full on action in 90 deg. That would be insane. You have everything from 500ish up to 900ish depending on your front suspension and steering rack setups. I would use 540 deg. in the game as it is close enough...

real rally cars steering degrees
60's and 70's the standard road car degrees for almost every car
80's 900 degrees for groups 2,4, B and A. The standard road car degrees (1080 or more) for less tuned cars like group 1, 3 and N
From 90's until today 720 degrees for early group A and then 540 for almost every "full tuned" rally car. And for group N the standard road car degrees.

So far, for this game, I've settled on 460 degrees turning.
Not saying that is best but it seems to work alright for me.
Less than that it seems a bit too twitchy for my tastes (logitech G27).

The in game animation only traverses 180 degrees from what I can see so it doesn't
really match but close enough. How it handles is more important anyway.

Thx guys, my wheel is set to 900 but ingame i have changed the wheel satuation to 60% which if my maths is correct equals 540 degrees.

Its much better now, and wow, what a workout :D

With Codemasters still the same problem.
You should hold the steering wheel 900 fixed, the game should handle degrees automatically.

Gday i would have swarn by 540 degrees for rotation till now i I do i racing A class and all other sim games and ahve always driven 900 degrees on road and 540-270 for dirt what ever is comfortable depends on wheels for ffb for strength but now i have changes to 240 and getting 450 odd in leaderboard challenges i leave all sliders on 100 except clutch st dz and bp dz and if u dont see the track dont gas it barcke b4 certain jumps and watch the tree lines for where the track is going so u can prepare to brake and not need to restle with the wheel as much
good luck
