Is Danica getting the power steering cheat
I believe last year or the year before they gave Danica power steering at infineon {manning too} - Does anyone know if she's still getting the PS cheat on her car???

It was not "power steering"
It was a revised steering rack that was still manual but required less effort. It is standard equipment this year (everyone has it). |

I think it was Darren Manning who also tested it towards the end of last year along side Danica. No points for "drives like a girl" jokes.

During the race broadcast they said that Danica decided not to use it this year because it made the steering feel weird. So, it's legal, but even Danica isn't using it.

To my knowledge it's an option for all of the teams and a few of the blokes are using it too.
