Camber on Track

[rosey_ej9]

For those that own DC2s what camber angle do you use on track?

I went out at Snetterton last Sept and found the outer edge of my front tyres had turned blue - sign of overheating due to understeer. I wasn't cornering aggressively or at speeds that I would consider over the realistic limits for the car/setup.
The car is using stock dampers with Tein springs and Yoko AD08s and from memory the camber angles are -0.4/0.5 all round, anyone have any feedback from their experience?

Eg / Dc / Ek etc are all much the same regards settings.

The blue isn't a sign of overheating , just nature of the compound . When you overheat them the shoulder blisters / chunks and steadily gets worse , this is with 3deg of camber ..

On your car , around F -2.5 R -1.5 would be a good ballpark figure. From there on you need to monitor the tyre scrub and maybe invest in a laser thermometer to read the tyre temps.

But at the end of the day , the wear on your tyres is the best indicator where to make adjustments and maximise their potential , as every setup / driver / conditions are different

Also dont forget about the toe setting , as it just has as much a crucial role to play .
