I always understood it that it was best to keep your boot down when going round
a corner so that you got the negative camber of the rear wheels, this will give
you better grip, because as the body rolls, the outside wheel will become more
upright, if you think about it, if the wheels are upright to start with, then
they tilt over a bit, then you are getting similiarites to positive camber.
