5 degrees camber is a bit wild ste however it does all depend on spring rate and roll of car and also track, i have run 5 degrees on mine on some tracks.eg i ran on mine at oulton on dry day 4.37 degrees on one front and 4.88 degrees on the other front due to having an adverse camber at cascades. this i found the best even tyre wear at front. i always run over 4 degrees castor on front, rear camber settings were about 1 degree down from front. silverstone was less camber for me and a stiffer spring rate by pre load.

Are you going to be increasing the negative camber anymore? Even for road use I have -2.5 fr and -2.0 rr. Does not seem to cause any problems with wear and initial turn in is great.

you dont need excessive camber when you have decent castor (on front).

all depends on spring rate ie body roll
ie if you had 700lbs springs front and 580lbs springs rear then i would think 5 degrees would be excessive.
type of track ie oulton and cadwell would be a totally different setting than silverstone for me obviously.
it does not matter what camber mat is running 1 degree or 10 degrees he obviously has the backing and support from the well renound clinic who have proven that there cars work more than once. so i am sure it will be bang on.

well done matt and good luck for brands mate.

Been put on the back burner till mid summer, if the car survives Brands then it'll go under wraps till August giving me time on the new car again. That's the plan at least!

a few more aero parts have been made for the car it now has a full detatchable front splitter with a full undertray which it also detatches from and more aero work has been done on the rear as i felt it was the rear that would need more downforceif splitter was introduced so that has been addressed. cant wait to see what crazy fins the rear has sprouted by next week
new turbo will be going on now it has arrived and the exhaust db issue has been addressed, also some new wider wheels are on their way
more pics when i go up next week

Looked ready enough last weekend. I would be concentrating on getting through the day on your first event ever rather than trying for the podium!

Good luck matt!

i know for defo that the car is ready and has been for some time. there is a little issue still regarding matts race licience, as he originally entered in club pro so i believe msa will not let him race in any class until his licience is issued.
he did ask me to drive the car for him but i think this wasnt possible as club challenge you cant change drivers while club pro you can.
dont ask why he was able to race at oulton, dont no the answer to that one.

Firstly I openly say I cant drive I dont spout my mouth off with nothing to back it up.
Secondly it was first outting there to check car over, arbs too weak, box jumping out of 2nd so every bend one handed, slipping clutch.
Thirdly the circuit was much more suited to a 300bhp car than 600

Excuses over and last item on list changing tomorrow (clutch) but I will still be carp but enjoy myself no end which is what it is all about imho.
I could get someone else to drive it but where would the fun be in that

Simon Bigarf was running 600+bhp on a 2.1 in a newage and came 3rd just a couple of 100ths of the winner

thanks duncan, but i was only a ohw at oulton this year so i have no entry, i know you can change cars as i had too last year ta at oulton, but when entered in club challenge you cant change driver as the championship is based on driver and not car mate, i have told utaka that i will drive the car for him for free just to show what it is capable of, but i think this would have to be as a ohw so no podiums or trophies, but at least he could get some data from the car and me. at the end of the day its utakas call, i am here to drive it for him if he wants.
good luck to you with yours at cadwell and totb
