Stop theorizing; even 2015 build date cars have lopsided camber.

Now don't get me wrong, all this feedback from you guys is actually quite educational. Only problem I have is with people saying "this is wrong" or "I can do this or that" with zero proof or explanation. No offense meant. I'm definitely not against being proven wrong or learning, comparing experience of other with my own. I'd like to keep this discussion going, if the OP doesn't mind.

Anyhow, I can see how a person proficient on a track with a scooter can translate this proficiency to any other vehicle, but only once they've learned how to control this different vehicle. I've no doubt about that. But it's how well they can learn to control each of the different types of vehicles that will determine how well they can apply this 'track proficiency' they've learned with a different machine. For instance, would you think that a motocross rider do just as well with a skateboard? I mean, it all physics, right? All the laws of physics are constant. Yes I'm exaggerating, but I think you guys get my point.

And yes I know who Vale is and folks like him. But let's be honest. These guys are exceptional and were bred for racing at a extremely young age.
I felt like I gave you a fairly useful data point.

But you're in this to argue regardless. Have a good night!
