If the CG is below the roll center, which is very possible with this car as it is with other race cars, the body will roll the opposite way from the turn even though all the force is on the outside tire. Since the body rolls the opposite way that is into the turn, the rear wheel is not going to get very much positive camber going around a turn. Also, if the front outside wheel does not start out with very much negative camber, it will not have that much on a corner. I've seen many front wheel drive cars in autocrosses, especially the fast ones, lift the inside real wheel in corners, thus becomming a three wheel car. They still generally understeer tremendously.
