Found this quite origial Idea for changing suspension camber linked to steering input, The develoers have claimed to improve laptimes by up to 3 secs!!! Looks a fairly simple and neat idea..
"OnCamber’s suspension is a mechanical system that can be likened to a turning motorcycle, as it allows the front wheels to “lean into” turns. Actively varying the camber angle of the wheels maximizes the tires’ contact patch throughout cornering, accelerating, and braking, and has shown to be particularly effective for front wheel drive cars. in addition to enhanced grip, OnCamber's system utilizes all of the tire's contact patch, resulting in even tire wear."
Have a look at the movies on the site.. http://www.oncamber.com/pages/about.html
Would this have a place in rallying?
