Subject line says it all!

I've been doing some testing at the various tracks at which the series will run & I'm really struggling to arrive at a setup that gets heat into the rear tyres. I know it's an issue with all FWD race series, but any advice would be appreciated!

if you increase the camber angle, the tires will point out and effectively work on an edge, this will hopefully help your problem as well as increasing rear end lateral grip.

Hope this helps

more negative camber and less tyre pressure for the rears. that should make the inside edges of the tyres heat up more, and the less tyre pressure will give you more contact patch in the corners.

cosmetic damage renders tire heat and wear irrelevant, no?

The tyres don't wear, but they still heat up

The tyres still heat up and give you more grip at higher temperatures. They just don't actually wear or lose grip at very high temperatures.

I had sussed the tyre pressure side of it, but didn't think of making a change to the camber...

Now heading in the right direction I think - thanks guys!

Increasing the rear camber should give your car more overall width at the rear too, so it should work.
