we have looked into the camber adjustment issues, Marcin is running maximum negative camber, apparently the tire model was never tested with such large camber angles. Camber is the result of the length of the camber link and the inner and outer camber link pivot points. These points affect the roll centers of the car.

As we have 2 rows of pivot points the adjustability range of the camber link has to be quite big in order to achieve normal camber values with all positions. Marcin used the most inner and most outer and then used the shortest possible camber link setting resulting in 16 degrees negative camber.

This was not foreseen and needs to be corrected. The only way to achieve this is to remove the outer positions B2 and B4 and inner positions A1-A4, and limit the adjustablity range of the camber link.

I am very much inclined to do this. However, this means that if your car uses a setup using positions that have been removed or a camber link length outside the range, that these values will be reset with the default values, and you might have to take a new look at your setup again as it may not work as before.

Let me express that Marcin was not the only one doing this, so this does not take anything away from his World Championship title.

Thanks for sharing Marcin. I recall trying an NX8 set up with similar camber angles and was really surprised how well it handled.

I imagine this set up is very different to what a lot of folk have tried with the ride height, roll bar difference as well.

Congrats on a brilliant drive.
