Re: What is \"track alignment\"?
Road course assumed...
Tires leaned in radically at the top, front tires pointed out, rear tires pointed in. A setup like this will wear the inboard shoulders of the tires off in just a few hundred street miles.
On the racetrack where you're loading the outer tires very heavily in the corners and you have lots of body roll, the extra negative camber will keep the tire and contact patch more square with the road surface. This gives superior corner traction.
Pointing the tires in or out (toe angle) will make huge differences in how quickly the car turns into a corner or tracks straight over upsets (front) and how controllable the rear is on power-down.
