Ideal set up for the Nurburgring

Hi,

I am using my RS at the ring on a regular basis, the current factory camber settings are not helping the tyrewear on the rear, the camber is too negative thus causing the insides of the tyres to wear out quickly.

Has anyone set their RS up for use on the ring ? I am trying to achieve an equal tyre wear without loosing grip.

I have a mechanic in Germany waiting to know how I want the car setting up, I am not experienced with the car so anyone that can pass on tried and tested settings would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Nathan

Not to be Captain Obvious, but how about taking some camber out in the rear?

Also don't forget to think about your toe settings--my stock 997 GT3 (non-RS) suspension squats on those soft springs and rubbery control arms, so stuff is wiggling around back there.

Try taking 0.5 degree of camber out in the rear and see what that does--it helped for me. Then take tire temps after hard accel/soft brake runs and vice versa at a shorter track and figure out what's going on. I haven't gotten around to that yet, but will get there eventually.

Or, maybe someone reading here has already done that...
