Roval suspension and camber set up

Guys. I'm trying to go to ROVAL autoclub in fontana.
Roval is half oval and half inside track.
Big left parabolic t1 and a couple of big left turns. Questions:

1 Suspension: would you set up compression differently left to right?
2. Camber. Same or different?
3. Tire pressure : diff Psi on A7 ?

Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

This thread has a lot of tire info specific to ACS Roval. Personally I don’t change anything setup wise on my car, however tire rotation is a must because the LF will wear on the inside shoulder and RF will wear on the outside shoulder. Hoosier published a specific Roval doc as well recommending higher pressures.

Alex,

What I found is that the mustang kills A7 tires. The LF inside cords on my car if I set up for equal negative camber. I ran less camber on LF at ACS and it helpped a lot including the highest tire pressures I have ever run and got my lowest laptimes at ACS on A7's with this heavy car at 3700lbs no aero. I ran RF -2.5 but want -3.5 but waiting on OP spacers to get there. I ran -1.7 on the LF and it improved tire wear dramatically. I find A7's only good for 30 mins when brand new on the mustang on every track I have run so far. Nasty nasty tire wear! It is like I need a new set of tires every race weekend...nasty.

I don't think it's a compound issue, I think it's a load issue.
You're gonna have to maintain the tires through the oval part, pick a high line unless you need to pass someone, get it done and get back up top.
