Lower steering ratio in Gen 4

Hi.
Could not find related topic here.
So, the issue is, that current ratio, I think, is 15.++ takes ages to navigate. Specially on track.
Are there any known solutions to replace the rack for quicker one?
Drilling new holes for steering tie rods are not an option.

After spending the last 3 months searching for just a replacement steering rack (though I'd have gone with uprated) and finding nothing, nothing new, nothing refurbed, nothing, I'd say there is nothing out there.
Smaller steering wheel?

Yes, the smaller steering wheel is an option. However, since the rack has a play and is slightly leaking, it must be replaced anyway..
