Classical surface friction is independent of contact surface area yet automobiles still benefit from broader tires because of supplementary forces involved. Because the tire is deformed under loads, it cradles every imperfection in the road surface. The greater the surface area, the greater the number of imperfections that can be cradled therefore increasing the maximum lateral and longitudinal force available. The more force that the tire can exert on the race car, the faster it can turn/accelerate/brake. This ultimately reduces lap times and improves the chance of beating your competitor.
