have you looked at surface they race on?

Camber will do what you said if there was grip, if there is nothing for the tyres to bite into then it will slide.. camber gives stability in straight line whatever the surface.

Depends where the weight is, if its all up front then the car will push on wide into a corner, if its all at rear then it will be too light at front, so will again push on understeer until the pendulum from weight of rear motor swings back end round and as the weight transfers rear to front.

I did wonder looking at that surface, with it being extremely slippy whether a mid car would be more balanced and change direction easier than a rear motor car? is anyone running mid motor cars succesfully at the meetings on that surface?
