Crazy camber on that one. And watching the vid of the one driving just makes me think how long before something breaks?

or how long it takes before the camber ruins the tyre and to think the strain on the suspension if a tyre blows?

that camber would work fine if ppl stuck motorbike tyres on the car haha
that way there would be no problem.. its funny how some ppl dont know what camber actually does and way over do it lol i dont mean that example i mean ppl running 5/6 degrees on their daily |

A friend of mine had 6 degrees camber on his front tyres and -? camber on the rears but this car was pure drift only so made sense. Whereas when people put huge camber on their Hyundai Excel cause it looks cool are just idiots.

discussing on sportscar forums, it runs on about two inches of rubber per wheel, and if u look at the close up pics (cbf getting linked) the tires have a serious angle on the sidewall, so they may be custom/specially made
