imagine a car....much like yourselvs. and your feet are your tires. when you are skiing....how do you create friction (stop) put your toes together (toe in), toe out would create the tires to pull apart from each other giving it a loose feeling (and I don't think this would be beneficial on roadracing as those guys run negative toe as well).

When road racing, the rotation of the car doesn't change too much as you are driving in a strait line vs drifting, the rear changes direction so much, that ZERO toe sounds to be the middle safe zone. Even though drifting has been around for a few years, I really think we haven't really been able to break down drifting in a phsyics form like we have nascar and formula 1.

Look at it this way....forseberg runs positive camber in the rear. Alot of people would question it...but his low power, he needs grip right off the line. Cars squat off the line cause neg camber....well if you are at posi camber to begin with and your car squats to ZERO degrees...that 100% contact patch on acceleration.

I wanna say he did this for mid drift....but in my opinion, it's worse, cause you want 100% contact patch mid drift....which would mean your weight transfer on the tires has the proper camber to give you the most contact....

I don't know. Where's forseberg so he can explain himself!
