How can you use the suspension app to assist in finding the best camber settings?
I have been attempting the 599XX time trial at Monza. Using the suspension app I set the camber such that the app shows close to zero camber in the corners. This car has a lot of camber at stock settings, I had to set the sliders almost all the way to the right (-0.5 deg front, 0 deg back) to achieve zero camber in the corners. The best time I could achieve with this setup after many attempts was around 1:44.4. I then tried returning to the stock settings and got a 1:43.356 on my first clean lap.
Why is it that my adjusted settings were slower? I thought that it might be because of tire deformation, so that at zero degrees wheel angle in the corners, the tire is deforming to have more force on the outside edge. Also, looking at the temperature map (also in the suspension app), my modified camber settings have more even temperature distribution, and the stock setting are always hotter on the inner edge. I think this may be because the middle and outside of the tire doesn't have enough time in the corner to heat up as much as the inside.
I know that the best way to find the right camber settings is to look at your lap times, but I was wondering if there was a way to use the suspension app to reduce trial and error time by dialing in a decent angle straight away. Is there an ideal camber angle that you can tune for where the tire force is distributed evenly in a corner?
