B5. TRACK-WIDTH
Track-width is the distance between the outside edges of the wheels at one
end of the car. Track-width affects the car’s handling and steering response. It
is important that front or rear track-width is adjusted symmetrically, meaning
that the left and right wheels at one end of the car are the same distance
from the centerline of the chassis.
It is not recommended to alter the car’s track-width from the default setting.
EFFECTS OF TRACK-WIDTH ADJUSTMENT
Front Track-width
Wider
• Decreases front grip
• Increases understeer
• Slower steering response
• Use to avoid traction rolling
Narrower
• Increases front grip
• Decreases understeer
• Faster steering response
Rear Track-width
Wider
• Increases rear grip at corner entry
• Increases high-speed on-throttle steering
• Use to avoid traction rolling
Narrower
• Increases grip at corner exit
• Increases high-speed understeer
• Increases front grip in hairpin turns
B6. CAMBER & CAMBER RISE
CAMBER
Camber affects the car’s traction. Generally
more negative (inward) camber results in
increased grip since the side-traction of the
wheel increases.
Adjust front camber so that the front tires
wear flat. Adjust rear camber so that the rear
