From what Calvin said about it being a tight track and if it is at night more toe in the rear will help keep the heat in the tires.
At Boronia at night I run 2 degree rear toe, this track is also tight. I can get it to work with zero but must run softer rear tire.
The problem I found with to much toe is that when the track has good temp in it you tend to overheat the tires mid race, this can be confusing to some as you feel you need a softer rear or more rear grip when you actually just need a harder tire.
Loose in the first 2 laps is good as this is hopefully before the race starts.
The other thing that I have found with the wandering is, to hard shock oil in the front makes the car to aggresive in initial steering so you are always correcting the steering.
This feels like the car is wandering when most times it is just to responsive to steering input.
Try more toe out on the front and a softer front shock oil.
Windsor is an indoor track that run's at night. Interesting point about toe in and heat.. I will most certainly keep that in mind..
I find your comment about to much toe and overheating the tyres intriguing. Windsor Indoor track high grip 30/40 degree days in summer. I might have to invest in some harder rears just in case. This would explain why sometimes what i percieved to be a hail mary play throwing on harder tyres sometimes works.
happy to share my current setup. Basically i have
30wt oil all round
3 racing soft springs with 5mm spacers in all corner
2 degree camber
3deg blocks
Xpatterns up front
Cross 36's on rear in summer
Sweep 25/33 on rear in winter.
Usual bling (i know it does nothing but call me a bower bird.)
Calvin is right i need to try more tracks, different surfaces, times of days etc.
