Okay zero camber is the fastest way to go but does anybody else feel a bit of camber gives a smoother transition when grip goes.
On occasion can actually be quicker because you can push harder.
Example under steering car which pushes the front & then lets go suddenly lets go in a nicer manor with a bit of camber.

Sort of makes sense a bit in that you did not have so much grip to start with so its less dramatic but there may be more to it than that.
It could just be me imaging it which is why I am asking.
 
Its been flogged to death here and here, but there is still an active thread here if you want to get deeper into it.


Your point has been raised previously by others during our testing of the issue.


You are correct, in that you are feeling a difference, but it's taking grip away from the car, making its ultimate pace slower. It may be easier to drive, and therefore 'faster' in your hands, but it's ultimate lap time is slower.


I for one keep camber at 0.0 and use the other (functioning) settings to adjust balance.

I know people have been using it at the 'wrong end' to 'increase grip' at the other end. (lots of camber on the back of a FF, giving it an oversteery nature, making the car feel faster because your not understeering everywhere)

Best setup I have come across is no camber at all +10 toe in front no toe in the back, I've applied this to all my cars no matter how slow they are or how fast nor what make or model (betty blue setup)

Those threads were enough. We don't need another.
