Crazy camber on that one. And watching the vid of the one driving just makes me think how long before something breaks?

or how long it takes before the camber ruins the tyre and to think the strain on the suspension if a tyre blows?

A friend of mine had 6 degrees camber on his front tyres and -? camber on the rears but this car was pure drift only so made sense. Whereas when people put huge camber on their Hyundai Excel cause it looks cool are just idiots.

notice the stickers still on the tires in that video?
discussing on sportscar forums, it runs on about two inches of rubber per wheel, and if u look at the close up pics (cbf getting linked) the tires have a serious angle on the sidewall, so they may be custom/specially made
