old cars and whack camber - ScottyB - 01-30-2006
so i was looking at some vintage racecar pictures today, namely open-wheel. it struck my that every picture i was looking at, the car had some crazy positive camber on the front wheels. whats up with that? is it a function of the primitive suspension geometry, or a result of suspension tuning ignorance at that stage of the sport? someone help me understand.
basically, i'm under the impression its a bad thing and i can't understand why anyone thought it was a good idea to set a racecar up like that at the time.
