CAMBER
Camber is the vertical angle of the wheel relative to the center of the chassis. Negative camber is when the top of the wheel is
closer to the chassis centerline than the bottom of the wheel, positive camber is when the top of the tire is farther out than the
bottom. Due to suspension geometry and corner loads, negative camber is desired on all four wheels. Higher negative camber
values will increase the cornering force generated by the tire, but will reduce the amount of longitudinal grip the tire will have
under braking. Excessive camber values can produce very high cornering forces but will also significantly reduce tire life, so it is
important to find a balance between life and performance.
REAR CORNERS
CORNER WEIGHT
The weight under each tire while the car is stationary in the garage. Weight placement around the car is crucial to a car’s
performance and is ultimately what determines how the car handles. These are not directly adjustable, but will change frequently
through the setup process due to changing loads on the suspension. The most effective way to change the values is through the
Torsion Bar Turns setting, however all four corner weights will be affected.
RIDE HEIGHT
Rear Ride Height is the distance from the ground to the bottom of the chassis plank projected to the rear axle. These are
reference heights, not necessarily ground clearance values, so values of zero (or even negative) in telemetry may not necessarily
indicate the chassis being in contact with the ground.
TORSION BAR DEFLECTION
Torsion Bar Deflection is how far the suspension torsion bars have deflected from their unloaded state. Higher deflection equates
to more preload on a given torsion bar, while lower deflections indicate a bar with less preload.
TORSION BAR TURNS
Each torsion bar can be preloaded to raise or lower a given corner of the car and increase or decrease the preload on the torsion
bar springs. Increasing the Turn value will preload the torsion bar and raise the corner’s ride height, decreasing the Turn value will
reduce the preload on a given torsion bar and lower the corner’s ride height.
