Also Ackerman on race cars is different than used on street cars. While intersecting at the center of the rear wheels gives you true ackerman. On a race car the tires are sliding(slip angle) and the optimum slip angle for a given tire is based on the vertical load with the outside tire having a higher load than the inside tire.
