I imagine that extreme camber is to spread the track out to the maximum allowable while keeping the CG as low as possible. It'll allow him to carry more speed through turns, traction permitting.

It might also move the turbulent flow of the tires onto the smoother flow of the body and clean them up some. I dunno about that.
