Default what Geometry on snow drifts ?

Hi guys,
right now I got old geometry for asphalt track which is -2.5 negative on every wheel. Gives good effect on summer while using slicks.

On Sat was on snow trackday and car could be more oversteering.
Got 185/65/15 snow tires Dunlop SP Winter 3D.

What geometry you suggest this time ?

Driving style now is more for fun, not for time.
Track average fast with closed corners, good and easy to drift.


Right now I understand that if less negative on snow than more traction on wheel I got cause snow tire is getting harder and deeper on whole surface. Or maybe I'm wrong ? Maybe more negative is more traction on snow ?

Hmmmm.... please help me, I'm confused...

To be more oversteering need to change rear cambers. Positive, zero or negative ? How many degrees ?


Thanks in advance !

I have no idea on what you are asking but a snow trackday sounds like a lot of fun!

Where was it?

I would run around 0 camber , for better traction in acceleration and braking zones.

With such little grip I wouldn't have thought the camber will make much difference.
