It's pretty obvious it's variable toe as it's pulling on the steering arms. It's not permitted to alter the other suspension arms or camber settings, etc.
I appreciate just watching the video showing the steering column movement it seems that Toe-In is the natural adjustment, but that is a big assumption about the relationship between the column and normal suspension geometry.
But it seems not normal, he pulls the column back in the straight, a simple relationship would mean the driver is creating Toe-In on the straight which increases rolling resistance and tyre wear. So I doubt there is a direct relationship between the movement of the steering column and the geometry it is adjusting. There are many possibilities that could alter an axis, not just Toe-In.
Which axis adjustment delivers the greatest differential benefit between the straight and cornering?
Toe-In is usually only to aid tracking stability, so while most commentary has been around changing geometry to static for the straight that defeats the purpose of Toe-In. Doesn't Toe-In increase rolling resistance?
Is it legal to alter any such settings after Park Ferme?
