rear tire slip angles

Post

Hi,
I drive the FW31 in iRacing. On the straights the rear wheels slow a slip angle of 1.5% off center. Even with rear toe set to zero I can't get rid of the slip angle. Is this something that is built into the car that can't be changed, or is this a problem with the iRacing vehicle?

I'm guessing this is a sim car??
What would you do in a real car
roll bar, roll centres, spring rates, tyre pressure delta, toe in, toe out, camber ... change driver...wing changes...

Is it from camber thrust?
