Exactly as above a tiny amount of toe-in on the front say 0 to 0.25 degrees across the axle.
On the rear on a car with IRS a little bit more toe-in on the rear wheels you want to be 100% sure you don't have toe-out on the rear, say
0.2 to 0.6 degrees across the axle.
Camber has to be a compromise between cornering grip and traction/braking and tyre wear. 1 degree negative camber all round should be a good
starting point for track use you may find you need up to 2 degrees but be aware this will cause excessive tyre wear in normal road use.
