Track Car Camber Settings
I've done a search, and there are so many different opinions about this, but mostly for road going cars..
I've seen -1.5 camber front and rear but that's for road cars... this is for my track car, should i stick to -1.5 or go a bit more/less?
The last time the car was out on track, it under steered like crazy on corners (but was lowered on coilovers and didn't have a geo setup)
Anyone got any figures for me?
Cheers
James

What tyres / suspension / arbs / bushes ?
Probably looking for in the region of 2 neg at front and 1.5 at rear but that will vary a lot with the above and your driving style. Try and get a good amount of castor too.
Need to get toe in/out sorted too as this has a huge impact on how it behaves.

Tyres, im running two different types Duncan... Clio Cup slicks for dry and Avon ZZ3's in damp/wet
Eibach coilovers
Standard ARB's and Bushes for now.
As for castor, i havent got adjustable top mounts... so running on standard castor
Might have to take it up to Revolution in Newcastle before the next track day to get it done properly.
So what kinda settings would you think for the above setup? (was driving like a pancake last time it was out - wheel on full lock heading straight ahead towards a field lol)

I'm running 3.0 neg front at present but think I may have overdone it. I've seen a new age with 2.0 neg front still overheat the outside left (888) on a clockwise track so I guess somewhere between 2 and 3 neg front might do. Interesting Toyo recommend between 3.0 and 6.0 neg for their 888 tyres, anything less and you need to raise pressures by up to 4 psi, this is why I'm trying 3.0. Does depend on car and suspension, lightweight kit cars need far less.
