Does that not read as a bit contradictory to anyone else? Less angle better for tight corners? Surely a more severe angle on your steering would be better?

A shallower angle to me would be better for a fast flowing track with sweeping bends for stability, however that guide above tends to say otherwise.

So confusing.

Other setup guides/tips I've read seem to suggest the same as the one Neal has posted but it doesn't seem logical?
