## Definition

The angle of the wheels relative to the vertical axis when viewed from the front. Negative camber tilts the top of the wheel inward, improving cornering grip. Positive camber tilts it outward. Teams adjust camber as part of car setup to optimize tire contact during turns.

### Setup (Car Setup)

The collection of adjustments made to a car's mechanical and aerodynamic systems to optimize performance for specific track conditions. Setup includes suspension geometry (camber, toe, ride height), spring rates, damper settings, wing angles, and brake bias.

### Toe (Toe-In / Toe-Out)

The angle of the wheels when viewed from above. Toe-in means the front of the wheels point inward, improving straight-line stability. Toe-out means they point outward, improving turn-in response. Toe settings are part of suspension setup.

### Downforce

The aerodynamic force that pushes the car toward the ground, generated by wings, diffusers, and body shape. Higher downforce increases grip in corners but also increases drag, reducing straight-line speed. Teams balance downforce levels based on circuit characteristics.
