Tyre setup for track and Motokhanas?
Any ideas or clues as to what sort of set up for tyre pressures, castor/camber, and toe-in/toe-out? Someone was suggesting to me at last Sundays M-khana that toeing the wheels out gave better turn in at low speeds? This sounded crazy to me but he was convinced. Probably another competitor trying to make me look silly...er. I am running 235/40x17" 255/40x17" Toyo R888's.

Like most people I thought M-Khanas were for learner drivers, but in fact they are quite challenging. There is a very fine line between going quickly and becoming ragged especially when they flood the track with water. The guys who look like they're going slowly often are the fastet. Also just to confirm, when you say toe out do you mean this from above?

What about setup for sprint events on circuit? Any tips there? We have been lowering our cold tyre pressures to 22-24psi and they have been heating up to 30ish psi. Also what if you're running on a track that turns predominately left? Would you suggest differing psi on the inside against the outside?
Thanks for any ideas.
