Hi Dave , great video. Just a question. You said Caster angle. I thought caster was the amount the top & bottom parts of the suspension lean rearward . It looked like you were measuring the Camber & tracking. ???. Am i wrong there. Also Is this video after the race I watched where you anialated the rest of the field. Again ???. Sorry but just confused which is quite normal for me. Steve.
HI Steve. Re: Castor - it's measured in degrees but you are correct in how it would look. Turning the wheels with the castor gauge measures how far forward/backward the wheel leans when turned from one direction to the other (if that makes sense?). Hence why with the wheel at 20deg, I 0 the gauge. When turning through 40deg, the gauge measures where the wheel ends up 'leaning' to give the measurement. (I hope I've explained that OK?). This video was made before the race weekend. It was only qualifying I've put up so far, but what you saw was with this new setup (my fault in not getting this video up in time!). The next video will be of the race weekend as a whole. I should have that up (hopefully) by the end of the week. Apologies for the confusion!! Thanks Dave
