This Cosworth Vega movie shows interesting suspension movements during an AutoX race

That's some great video. It's got me thinking... I might do that too to see if my mods worked. Nice post, man

Yeah, I thought so too. Very interesting to be able to actually see whats going on when your car is in motion.

I bought 5(!) cameras like this for such purposes:

Quite impressive...not bigger than your car key 8)

I know I'm really late to this party but that was actually fun to watch.

What I found most interesting was the deflection in the anti-roll bar link. Think how much difference there would be with heim joints in there.

Maybe it is just the camera angle but I didn't see any positive camber gain when the suspension was compressed, only when it went into full droop.
Has anyone actually mapped out the camber curve for these cars?
