Still a little confused regarding caster and camber!
Do you need more caster in wet conditions than dry or vise versa?
Would you give more negative camber to the left wheel (when sat in the seat) on clockwise circuits than the right or do you both need to be the same? |

You need more caster when your kart is not transferring weight correctly or quick enough. More caster will jack weight quicker, making for a quicker rate of lift on the inside rear upon turn-in. It isn't necessarily 'wet or dry' dependent, although in the wet you want a lot of weight jacking quite quickly so more caster is generally a good move for wet conditions. But I've run max caster plenty in dry too if the track conditions dictate it.
I never run offset setups in regards to camber or caster. I always keep them the same.
