Camber Questions
In regards to HPDE at tracks like VIR / CMP do I have this correct
For best handling the best setup is 2.0 and greater negative camber ... Currently running about 2.2 measuring like David Farmer web site states...
I know negative camber is a bit more harsh on the street tires and cuts the inside..... But on the track does it wear the inside just as much would I expect to cut the insides more on the road course with -2.2 then with -1.5 ??
If my measurements were with 17" stock tire size .... then at the track i install my 18" Z06 rear size on the fronts will the camber still be the same? Seems with the tall tire the camber will be different....

You can measure camber with no wheels on the car if the car is supported by it's suspension and set to ride height so the control arms are in the proper positions.
camber is not a function of wheel diameter.

The camber will not change when swapping to a larger wheel.
Too much front toe out will wear the insides in a hurry - camber not as bad. Are you driving to the track on street tires?
