Lime Rock Park and Watkins Glen primarily - two very different tracks. Most of the surfaces thru the turns are concrete...which odly enough is quite gripy when hot and not when cold or wet. LRP has only one left hand turn while Watkins Geln is a roller coaster ride with a good mix of everything - huge elevation changes too.
I should also inform you that this Mini is still my daily driver - a horrid compromise. Everything but caster is adjustable. Stock caster is about 4.5 degrees. Camber is set at 2 deg. neg up front with a hair toe in. Rear camber is set at 1.35 deg neg with about 1/8"toe in. Front toe is a street compromise. The car sits about 15-17mm lower than stock.
Basically, and clarifying further, a little more caster is desired to help offset some loss of pneumatic trail due to static camber changes? That nice self centering torque generated at the contact patch seems to go away with neg camber values above 1 deg. neg. There is less feel at the steering wheel - less effort.
Corner weights are 475lbs for each rear wheel and 852 for each front wheel - if this helps.
