Camber setting - Road Race

BGTV8

Tyre and tyre construction dependent.

Dunlop D21 slicks in 265/655R18 are stiff construction by max neg is ~3 deg neg camber front and half that in the rear.

The D21 290/675R18 is a taller sidewall and allows contact patch distortion and you'll get max grip above -3 deg

The D21 is harder and the D31 is softer and the D31 will not tolerate as much neg without excessive inside shoulder wear.

The simple answer is to use a tyre temp (probe) to assess how much heat is induced with camber and decide on that basis.

Camber (and toe) settings require testing to get right.

Things to consider:

• I road race and daily drive
• Summer = PSS
• Tires = Toyo R888

Yes it's very specific... figured i'd ask

So the track setup is going to be quite different to the road setup. Track setup will scrub DD tyres in < 1000kms main becuase of excessive camber and a bit of toe-out.

Bottom line is give away R-Spec tyre drip but tracking with DD set up OR wear out DD tyres with DD setup OR get your favorite alignment shop to set up for track on Friday and reset on Monday.

Its the only way to resolve the dichotomy.

Failing that, take to most acceptable compromise ... slightly slower on track or wear out DD tyres in .25 to .5 of expected life.
