build diary

August 25, 2005: I've been given a few photos of the track day from various sources.
It looks as if the car is not aligned properly in the front, going to some serious positive camber on right turns. When I think about it, this is quite possible as I did have some understeer problems in a couple of those. It could also be the characteristics of the turns, but on that final right on to the front straight I never could get the car to rotate well enough. When I was at Thunderhill, a peanut gallery was telling me my front end camber was mismatched so I changed one wheel to make them feel better. I probably should undo that now. I don't want to run too much negative camber in the front as I want to retain as much braking capability as possible - maybe a larger front sway to keep the car flatter would be the best choice.
