How to corner really quick in a Chimaera

Picking up the camber point, mine has handled better since my TVR guy brought a laser thermometer to Snetterton and checked my tyre temps as I stopped in the pits. On standard road set up the outer edges were a lot hotter than the inner edges, so next time in the workshop he changed the camber by a degree and it now handles better with a lot less understeer, and the temperature after 10 laps on track is even across the front tyres.

I have my front dampers as hard as possible to reduce dive under braking, but run with the rear dampers on a soft road setting, as I found the rear of the car hopped on tight corners otherwise.

So in Gaz Gold Pro terms, (20 clicks from soft to hard, of which my poor old fingers can access 16), I run the fronts 16 clicks up from soft, and the rears 6 up from soft. It suits me.

Chilli, if you are at a loose end tomorrow, take some anti car sick pills and come over to Cadwell Park for some passenger rides. 4 TVRs on track, including Graham's Cerbera 4.5, which is substantially faster than my Chim.

Love to A, but I'm in the middle of moving house.... As always offer much appreciated...

Lowered, stiffened, camber set to -1.5 or a bit more, R888s. Handles great!

On my suspension I find that it works best if the front and back dampers have the same clicks. Tried softer rear, but cornering suffered! AST from RG.

I have my front 2 clicks softer than my rears - I found that on the same, the front would get very unsettled by mid-corner bumps, but with the rear any softer, it squats too much under acceleration - although admittedly traction was better..I really ought to play more but it doesn't help that I have different tyres front and rear (both are premium, just different..)
