How should one change camber to get better speed in the corners? I am asking specificaly for icr2, but it doesn't matter i think --

Likewise, adding positive camber reduces it. This is because the outside tire is providing most of the cornering. Just don't go too far, or you'll start losing cornering ability. On an oval, you typically run negative camber on the right wheel and positive camber on the left wheel. Dave "davids" Sparks Sequoia Motorsports

To see this, I check tire temperatures after pitting (although I suppose in the game you can check it at any point). If the temperature of the tire is too hot on the outside (it should be as close to even as possible) then you must increase camber and vice-versa. If you have the temperature the same on the sides of the tire but is different in the middle then you must adjust tire pressure. Hope this helps!
