Group 5 Sprints @ Sandown July 13th

Hhhahhah

I'm sure Pete took a few wrong lines during the day! Not to worry, he wasn't the only one!

Probably only about a dozen odd cars were actually taking the correct lines, all the time, the rest, were on and off. but who care's. not racing for sheep stations after all...

[ausgolfer]

Yes its quicker than mine but not Dad's... My Mk3 is so slow its not funny but dont worry the 16v in Dad's make up for it

Yeah I know u meant ur dads, but I still think that corolla IIRC has a worked 2l twin cam on boddies or carbs and remember it being pretty bloody quick at the island.

[Jarred]

Well it was pretty quick at sandown. Didn't get a look under the bonnet, but it had lots of camber and heaps of stickers on it, so it must have been quick!

Camber and stickers make they car, bro! You can never have too much neg!

[Water Boy]

You can never have too much neg!

Ill have to pick u up on that one Too much camber and when you brake thefront wheels camber up even more so thats why you need a compremise between the 2 thats goes round corners hard and still haas enough rubber on the road for good braking... So 2.5 dgrees is about right

[Jarred]

There were cars there that had way more than 2.5 degs, heaps of cars! Some would have had. lots. like LOTS!

Oh, dude, it was A JOKE!

Next time i'll PM you with a pre warning.

Oh, and by the way, the camber increases only if you have a single arm front end. Dual wishbone moves linear.

Ahhh good... But i do say if yiu dont plan on going fast get as much camber as possible

Haha, that's ok dude. Yeah Neg looks mean with big wheels. Hell on tyres when you're street driving though..

This is only true for equal length parallel wishbones, which bascially no one wants or needs.

You actually want neg camber gain(on the working wheel) as your chassis rolls around a corner.

Imagine your chassis is rolling 5 degrees in cornering(not too out of reach for a golf lol) and ur set up with neg 2.5, if your wheel only moves up and down in the same arc your result will be positive 2.5 degrees on the outside wheel. Which equals not nice handling.

You can get all sorts of results from changing the wishbone lengths angles and king pin inclination of a vehicle, obviously it's not cheap or easy to do so. And as we know everything is a compromise.
