The car steering definitely makes for a bigger turning radius than a robot using tank drive (which could spin in place). However, the turning radius is surprisingly small -- at slow speed, the robot can drive a figure eight sideways across the field under the overpass.
Regarding how fast it can go backwards -- we have an embarrassingly entertaining "blooper video" of a backwards driving episode that we'll try to get online within a couple days after crating the robot!
