Re: Ross racing this weekend

Ross, thanks for the info on the starts. I'm a bit ignorant about these races, but always wonder about the clutch/gearbox transplanted from a little 200 odd hp Porsche (oops, wasn't going to say that word). Anyway, that brake light must be giving you the sh#ts, or you've fixed it by now. Judging by the tyre photos you had in the chassis set-up thread, you are really pushing it to the max. I was wondering if you'd need less negative camber if you had stiffer anti-roll bars, but you've probably optimised them already. I thought negative camber was to compensate for the tyre leaning over with the car as you cornered, such that when it rolled the tyre was then vertical for maximum grip. But the negative camber gives a steering effect with more twitchiness in the straight (like two bikes leaned over, fighting each other).
Anyway, you are improving your times and happy with the car, and seem to be extremely competitive, so give 'em heaps. It's all working.
Dalton.
