                I know this should be in the tech section, but your pics show the relationship between castor and camber angles when the steering is off center.

                In the straight ahead position it looks like your running around 2 degrees neg, and when looking at the other pic with the wheel turned you can see that the wheel is almost upright and the wheel we cant see may have 3-4 degress neg on it.

                Which is why i don't worry about castor angles and only set the camber as a start point from experience at anywhere between 1-3 neg depending on what the car is doing, the castor I leave to the driver to tell me what he wants, then when the tyre temps are taken after a few laps the camber can be adjusted to suit what the tyres temps tell us.

                on some tracks this may mean the camber is taken off and castor is added to get more neg camber on the car through tight corners without the need to overheat the inner edge on fast, shallow corners with long straights between them.

                Ok I'll let people carry on telling you what a nice car you have
