Camber plates

[Mux213]

I'm no expert so I am probably going to say something stupid now

I think for racing around the circuit 'normaly' it has no use, to much unbalance front to back.

I think for drifting around a circuit it can be usefull for a lowered car since the rear wheels will brake traction anyways. That is, if I understand NoHachis remarks in other threads correctly.

Still the issue becomes a bit more complex because on our cars we have a solid axle. This means that no matter how much the geometry of our car changes, the wheels will always have full contact with the road. The only situation this doesn't happen is if we have 1 wheel in the air. So camber sounds pretty stupid on a solid axle.

On independent suspention like we have in the front, and other cars also have in the rear. Body role and shifting loads change the geometry of the suspention causing the angle at which the tire touches the ground to change. When this angle changes grip is reduced. So adding camber is one way to allow grip to remain by keeping the tire flat on the surface.

But in that way, 'static' (no idea if that is the right term) is always a compromise. While it may be set optimal under cornering loads, it may be wrong for pure braking loads in a straight line.

Anyways, I could be missing the point completely here NoHachi you should be able to give some sound advise on this?
