advice and experience for those running Cups
When considering a race vehicle’s optimal camber settings, a number of factors come into play, such as track layout, suspension geometry, aerodynamic downforce and maximum speed on the track. When it comes to setting the camber, you cannot precisely say in advance what the ideal setup will be. The only way to determine this is to run the car, then measure tire temperatures and pressures. Our experience has shown that most cars on most road courses using Pilot ® Sport Cup tires should use camber settings as stated in the chart on the right as a guideline. Camber Front -1.5 to -3.0 Rear -1.5 to -3.0 But when competing on tracks with a pronounced bias for turns in only one direction, it may be advantageous to run less negative camber on the inside wheels. Also, when driving on a track that requires more hard braking, your car may benefit from less negative camber. This should improve straight-line braking but will typically be at the expense of a slight loss of ultimate grip in the middle of the corners. |
