Digital Tuning Camaro
This Camaro is coming off the corner a little sideways. The car is high on the track and it seems to be getting good bite. The aide here will be to get some feedback from the driver to fully understand how the car is working. With the photo you will be able to ask better questions.

Digital Tuning Strong Cornering
This Camaro is coming out of the corner strong, and the car is loose but not too loose. These types of pictures help a driver see when he is doing the right thing and when the car's attitude is contributing to fast laps.

Digital Tuning Modified
This Modified has a much better setup and is coming into the corner fast and the car seems to be handling much better than the No. L8 Modified (shown above). The 61 car was turning better laps at this time than the L8 car. This just showed that the L8 car has some chassis work to accomplish. These pictures will help the drivers and the teams to ask better questions to help make the right adjustments.

Digital Tuning Too Sideways
Sometimes the driver can get the car a bit too sideways and lap times can suffer. It is good to be able to show the driver just what is going on. Getting the car sideways is not always the fastest way around the track. The photo helps the driver see just how the car is being driven.

Digital Tuning Serious Push
This Modified is coming in fast and hard, but it is obvious that the car has a serious push into and through the middle of the corner. It needs some adjustment to be as fast as possible.

Digital Tuning Push Off
The No. 61 car is shown earlier in the day. The car was pushing off the corner. When compared with the photo taken in the next session, after a small chassis adjustment, the car was handling much better. The idea of using a digital camera is all about enabling teams to get to the setups they need quicker.

Digital Tuning Same Line
The two cars have what looks like the same line and both cars are going straight. As a frame of reference notice the camber differences on the cars. The use of the camera allows you to track what is happening with the suspension as the car travels around the track.

Digital Tuning Lowered
This car is set up to run the track a bit lower and the car seems to be getting good grip off of the lower line. The pictures can be used to illustrate how a car is working at various parts of the track.
