Just camber at work (or not at work as it's the non loaded tyre) :D

I never enjoy having no wheels on the ground when cornering :roll: At least two is always preferable... also find brakes are less effective when tyres are not in touch with the tarmac :shock: :roll: :lol:

Think the point is that it's not a problem. It's the car working as intended. If it was lifting a rear wheel, you'd have a setup issue, but any Elise that's set up well and driven hard should slightly lift an inside front on hard power application. The photo is taken just off the kerb too, so it's probably a bit of lift from that too - only way to sort that is whack some bags of concrete in the car ;)

Stop worrying and keep driving like that :thumbsup
