==Camber== [[Image:Chassis_development_camber.png|frame|right]] You will now have to look at the wheel from the front or the rear. The camber can be called negative if the top of the wheels are closer to each other than the bottom. Positive camber is the setting where the bottom of the wheels are closer to each other than the top. Where camber is concerned nearly every possible setting, the camber will be negative. The only question is.. how far should you go? The effect of negative camber might be loss of straight-line grip. As you’re setting the surface of the tyre in an angle to the surface of the road, you are losing grip. But as soon as you enter a corner (which is the place where you lose most speed when track- driving), the surface of the tyre will deform and, when your setup would be 0 Camber, you’ll lose grip. Having the car set with negative camber, the road surface contact will actually increase in the corner, thus improving grip. Exactly what you want!
