Saw this car on the Goodwood Festival program on Ten today.

How's that for negative camber?

I would estimate that's about 35 degrees negative. Not enough, need more!!!

Thats crazy!!

I was watching the V8 Ute racing today and I noticed that they have alot of negative camber dialed in as well. Probably just trying to find some grip out of them.

I hope they are non-directional tyres.

Difference is, on the utes it's actually serving a purpose, to get the tyre to sit more flat thru corners. On the "camber car" in the pic, the things got rounded motorbike tyres anyway, so camber (especially that much) is useless anyway.

That looks like the angle my front tyre was on after the wife smashed it into a curb and bent the front strut! :bawl:
