A small amount of toe in at the rear.

Again a small amount of toe out on the front (just one or two turns on the track rod end from straigh ahead). If its to twitchy on the B roads dial it out to straight ahead, if its still feel unstable on the road then a touch of toe in.

20-30mm rake (rear higher than the front), not tuned a bike engine car so this would be my starting point.

I think the front suffers from negative camber in high speed corners so I'd put a good amount of static front camber on 1.5-2deg.

I'm not sure of the geo at the back but again about 1.5 would be my starting point.

This is based on my Caterham setups detuned from full track to fast road. The haynes might respond differently, so if anyone comes along with better intel then use it.

Cheers

Mike
