Mark, On the racecar, how do you find the handling with the toe out, say in comparison to the same amount of toe in? I would have thought you'd get more grip/better turn in with the toe in, because the more loaded (outside) tyre already has a slip angle at the beginning of the corner? (at the expense of the inside tyre)
Interested to hear your thoughts, Andrew > Andrew...... Sounds excessive to me.
