The first video shows a couple laps running behind the 914/6/3.0 (SixAddict) of a good friend. The longer part shows a little more solo action...man these cars are fun!
Second Day after changes (1 lap only) - amazing balance in the car! https://youtu.be/NhHMaa0_R5o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhHMaa0_R5o https://youtu.be/LfFdP8GnXiQ (12+ minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfFdP8GnXiQ https://youtu.be/9Te6GScwxek (3 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Te6GScwxek The GT3 Cup is faster everywhere but still allot of fun to (try) keep up with. I might be a smidgen faster down the straights - barely at best. Tony |

Tony, good tips from Rich and the other folks here. As I said in my first post, and as Stowsen pointed out, rear toe out has a big tendency to make the ass end of the car point in random directions, especially under acceleration. Some folks (drifters), autocrossers, ralleyers and cars with inherent understeer may actually use rear toe out to help point the car, or free it up. But it comes with the trade off of being really, really touchy, bordering on unpredictable.
As said previously, your settings aren't far off, but the main difference is the rear toe. I would start there before making huge camber changes. Toe has the most immediate, noticeable effect on the way the car drives and turns into a corner. As Rich said, camber is *typically* adjusted based on tire temps/wear and eventually driver input on how the car feels at the center of the corner. Yes, some cars run more toe at the rear, depending on spring rates, tire loads and generally how the car is being driven. I too like either a neutral front toe, or maybe a little toe out a the front (I HATE understeer). But the rear is always toe-in. |
