So this is the theory as I understand it. It was suggested to me by a very competent car builder, but i have also been challenged on the concept by another very competent car builder.

You are racing on a wood track, with a stiff chassis, on rubber tyres which have been trued nice and flat. You are pushing and the inside front wheel lifts in a corner.........

The chassis will transfer that lift to the rear wheels, and the inside wheel also lifts, leaving the outer edge of the outer rear tyre being the only contact point between car and track, so the car will probably over-steer off.

In theory, if you have trued a section of camber to the outer portion of your rear tyres, when the front tyre lifted, rather than the rear tyre only having the outer edge in contact with the track, the tyre would still have the cambered portion of it's width in contact with the track, with less risk of the rear breaking away.

Just a theory, and in effect, you are truing your tyres to deal with a failure in the handling.

I haven't tried it yet, still thinking about it...
