I would look at tyre temps last. We run that much camber for two reasons, one they need that much as the tyre wear is even, and secondly it better to be on the side of too much camber than not enough.
I would say yes you probably aren't using the whole tyre surface because it was your first time out and corner loading isn't where it could potentially end up.
well i know the apex speeds and the turn in points i need to emulate around brands for a 51s lap, so thats what im going to aim for, whether i or the car is that fast i have no idea, but i will be sending the car through at the speed needed so It will either be a win or bin situation!
Lee, for your and everyone else's sakes, for god's sake don't do that!!!!!!!! How do you know that the track conditions on the day, your tyres, your setup, your driving etc, etc, etc will allow you those specific speeds??? Just get comfortable in the car on whatever day you do and take it from there. Setting yourself a target this early on in your development phase will most likely end in tears.... A 51 second lap isn't hanging around.
Well you have to learn where the limit is, im not planning on doing a 51s on my first lap, but the one thing i learned from snetterton is I had no idea how fast the car could potentially go so never got anywhere near its potential, when i mentioned I went around corum at 95mph and i thought that wasnt to bad but then you mentioned you turned in 120mph which is a completely different ball game to me as i never learned to use the downforce the car was producing. So because i had no reference point of how fast it could go i didnt go much quicker, at least with brands i have all the corner speeds for a 51s lap and i can slowly build up to those speeds rather than being 10mph slower through every corner because i think thats as fast as I should go.
My plan assuming the weather is comparable all day is to work my way up in 2-3mph every lap until im going as fast as I think I can go by the end of warm up, which i should get 12-13 laps sit down and watch the footage, look at the lap and sector times and then compare to what i think the car should be able to do, try and learn from any wrong lines and speeds, then trying and improve on that in the practice, which will be another 12-13 laps, which will hopefully put me in good stead for the qualifying and final..........im typing this out like I think its easy, I do not in the slightest, but I dont have a big pit crew or loads of experience, effectively I was going to be turning up completely on my own like I did at snetterton, so I need to get my day fully planned out with what im going to do to try and maximise the opportunity that i have as its not like an open pit lane.
This was the lap that im basing it on, 800kg 290bhp on zzr, chris driving, since im similar power, 700kg, wider rubber and the car should be producing more downforce im hoping that those items will make up some of my talent deficit to chris.
I understand if its wet or damp i will have to go slower, same if my geo isnt right or the tyres arnt up to temp, thats why im hopefully going to have help on the day from someone who works at a lotus race team as its a big ask to do every single thing on the day myself.
Mike has given me a couple of tips on facebook which i have written down and if you have any tips for around there im all ears as 49s is very quick on similar rubber as me, it would be nice to beat the 2 rx7s around there, i wont catch the nobles though.
Unless it was Dale Lomas driving. 
at you removing drag after you've spent ages adding it.
