    Bathurst Wheel Cam

    Here is an interesting video from the tires point of view at Bathurst:

    It seems like it isn't even touching the ground around most of the track.

    nice find
    Yeah lots of negative camber on the fronts, RWD and stiff damping.
    Barely touch under acceleration and weight to zero on inside wheel on corners. Surprised to see how much suspension movement, but guess that's necessary for Bathurst undulations

    Awesome vid. If there's one race that I try to hunt down on TV here in Canada it the Bathhurst 1000. That is one awesome track.

    I'm always surprised to see how much the tires distort under heavy acceleration/breaking. Very nice find.

    Very nice video. I'm surprised to see that camber angle (tire tilting in?) is set so high. It's bad for tire wear though, right?
