Static and kinetic friction are the same equation with different values for the coefficient of friction.
So yeah, downforce (adding to the normal force) should pretty linearly increase traction.

Mmm.... Interesting.
But if you take a car and just add more weight over the front wheels the car will tend to understeer more (inertia overpowers traction). And if you do the opposite, add more weight over the rear wheels it tends to oversteer (again the increased inertia is more than the increased traction.)
So maybe it's linear, but at a lower increase than inertia.
