In Uk motorsports for Sprite/Midget racing there are no regulations I know of
that limit how much negative camber can be used. In any event for a live
axle car I'm not certain that there is a requirement for negative camber since
you need to have a very stiff rear suspension such that the outer rear wheel
lifts in the corner before you need negative camber. In fact I wonder whether
in
fact it might be better to have a softer rear suspension such the outer rear
wheel doesn't lift but the rear body (not the front) rolls.
Open to debate from all you racing types.
