anyone know the geo figures of a cup race car? obviously different teams/drivers would have there car setup differently

basically want to know what they ran so i can set it somewhere near, ie toe in/out, front camber, any rear camber using shims?

any help appreciated :D

Tracking is set at 0degrees (as a road car)
Camber is fixed at -4degrees both sides (standard)
No rear camber but lowered to suit the track.

Camber was adjusted to suit the circuit but mine is 100% 0 degrees

4 degrees negative camber!! :shock:

Inner edge wear anyone? lol


I thought road tracking was 5 to 15 minutes toe in on standard road cars though? :?:

usually 0-2 toe in on front wheel drive cars iirc... Camber angle is badass! might have to invest in camber correctors ;)

Not a lot to be honest...

It does say that caster is adjustable by modifying the wishbone bushes...

You will need a genuine Renault wishbone/bushes to do this on however as the aftermarket/gsf ones do not permit for caster adjustment.
