Compared to touring car racing where small accurate changes can make all the difference.. in buggy racing, set-up is alot less critical it seems - especially if you are just starting out.

A good starting point is to set the car so it rides with the rear wishbones just below level & set the front so its about the same... if you want to measure the height for future reference, measure it from the u/side of the chassis (I use a steel rule if I can be bothered). Set yourself a smidge of negative camber all round (top of wheel leans into the car) & so long as you have the correct tyres & built the car to the book you should be ok

MA is a tricky track to master simply because of the different surfaces - carpet with differeing levels of grip, Plastic sheeting (protects features of the on-road track beneath) & the bare tarmac combined with the often large & tricky jumps & ramps means that any set-up is just really a compromise & achieving a clean lap is quite a challenge! But a good race is also very rewarding
