Not necessarily Stan. Here's an equivalent pic of mine running -4.0/-3.5 F/R which looks pretty similar.
You can't really run much more negative than that because you get to the point when you're just running on the inboard shoulders on the straights and worse when it squats under brakes. What you gain in the corners you lose in the braking zones.

In all seriousness the purpose of the camber is to maximise the contact patch of the loaded tyre(s). In both our instances the loaded tyres are almost vertical so the camber is about 'right' (for that situation...).

I was running midfield until I took up Guran's "drive it like you stole it" approach. Maybe you're nursing it too much? These cars are tough AF.

Yeah, I know. Stan. I was just taking you a bit too seriously. Sorry about that.
That pic was taken by Tiit Saul who I reckon was the best of our trackday photographers by a mile. Here's a link to his whole album for that day. It shows off Guran's style perfectly. I don't think I need to say which car is his.

I haven't been on the forum for quite some time, but for those that can still remember me, I still have my SP.
Here's a few photos of it for you.
It still looks good Benny.
