Volker,

In relation to your advice regarding camber...

I have found that the inside RF heats up a lot if I run more negative camber than -4 deg, and making a trackbar / rear spring split adjustment to compensate makes me oversteer coming off turns 2 and 4 (I didn't try negative rear spring split with trackbar as this seemed offsetting).

Is it likely that any track with banking > 14 deg will require less neg camber. Your post suggests -4 is the minimum negative camber you would ever use, but I can't seem to get good setups for the banked short tracks using chassis 3 with this rule.

Also, for chassis 3, is it true that the shorter the track, the less likely you need rear spring split / trackbar. (I am comparing your Martinsville (no rear spring split / trackbar) with your Richmond / Phoenix etc)?

Sorry to bug you with so many dumb questions! Your help is always appreciated.

Thanks

Brad
