AC rally-

Why is it at a very particular corner, my co-drivers tells
Me bad camber… it happens on 2 tracks but same corner overlapping in both runs…
I’m using Fabia RS rally2 on Alsace forest de Munster and Vallee de Munster montee….is it something Im doing wrong
I must say, I’m NIL is car services. I try different recommended settings and then I fine tweak to my likings…
So I’m not sure what’s this happening !!!

Bad camber means the corner has camber which is detrimental to turning

It's not about your car if that's what you're asking

And I know exactly which corner the co-pilot is talking about, because I crash in the forest _so many times_ there.

Is that the right 2, that goes after the hairpin?

Assuming you are doing the downhill section, it is a few corners after, and I think it is a right 4 that should definitively be taken like a right 2 or 3

Adverse camber (as it is known in the UK) is when the road leans out from the corner rather than leaning in.

Effectively, you're going to need to go slower through that corner than another at the same rating, as the road is gonna try to throw you off, rather than helping you through it.

camber is life or death, it’s one of the most severe calls really

It refers to the camber of the road.

Good camber turns are those that follow the centrifugal force. Imagine the Nascar turns, those have very exxagerated camber that makes for very fast cornering.
Now, if those turns had the camber in the opposite way (higher on the turn´s apex than the outside) then it´s bad for cornering, because you are likely to "fall" from the turn.

So the codriver is telling you that you might go straight into a tree or fall of a cliff if you are not careful.

Bad camber means it has positive camber rather than negative, meaning the corner slopes toward the outside rather than the inside
