If you have the time and inclination, you could set your alignment based on the track and direction. Generally speaking, less neg camber on left side front for CCW tracks and less on R for CW tracks. You will generally be faster with better tire wear. Think of how NASCAR sets alignment for oval courses, but applied to a road course. For me, it's more about convenience. I prefer a set it and forget it, and live with faster tire degradation. I do my own alignments and just don't have the desire to reset for every event. I go to about 5 different tracks per year.

Many moons ago we had a pro race team supporting a DE event with tire and service at Motorsport Ranch Cresson CCW The owner and driver put on a clinic about the trade-off between lap times/tire wear and the time/$ to change alignment settings for every track and configuration. He had proven that for a vette, -1.3 camber L and -2.7 camber R, yielded the fastest lap times and best tire wear.
