You're leaving out an important part of the equation -- weight.
I'm no physics guru, but my gut tells me that a smaller, and therefore
lighter, car is generally going to corner better than bigger and heavier
car (given that the "tire ratio" is proportionate -- you know, size of
tire in relation to the size and weight of the car).
Weight is the product of downforce. You want to apply more weight to the
tires to produce more grip. I think you mean 'mass'. It is harder for
an object with more mass to change directions vs one with less mass.
