This is about drifting, but the concept is the same. When a car's body rolls in a corner, the negative camber provides a flat contact patch. I suppose the difference is that in drifting, while cornering, you are much more heavy in the throttle than while road racing, causing the rear to squat. This is where camber gain comes into play, I did not consider this before.

Edit: How about on initiation? You are usually not in the throttle and if you are setup at 0 camber, I'm thinking the tire will centainly roll into positive.
