That was quite a long time ago, when positive camber would generate traction on a very different tyre construction than we drive around on today

The track I used to run a few years ago was 8 right hand and one left hand corner. I had my car setup with different camber and caster left to right to account for the variation. Oval cars also run setups dedicated to only turning in the one direct, so varying setup left/right is pretty common today still too.

I digress, but I do like to spend time working on and thinking about these things.
