Rear camber on R-compounds?

[Ludachris]

Just wondering what settings some of your are using for track setups. I'm hoping to get the car aligned tomorrow for this weekend's NASA event and it's my first time on R-compounds.

does this mean the wheels and tires are on? did they fit?!?

Well typically I would say run as much negative camber as you can since there isn't alot of adjustment in the rear. However I am not exactly sure how your car is set up, what are you running for camber in the front? If you are running -3 deg in front I would recommend -1.5 to -2.0 Deg in the rear. However I would also look at the tire temp variation across the top of the tire when you come off of the track. These are just a couple tips. I posted some links in the road race section to some info on Tire Rack that might be worth reading.

I second running lots of rear camber until you get a chance to check temps. I say this because a car that pushes is annoying, while a car that is loose is totaled. (Note: I'd advise the exact opposite for autocrossing, since the odds of damaging the car are so low, such that loose is fun while pushing is even more annoying.)

Upshot: 2/3 as much rear camber as front.
