I don't know for sure and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I can think of a reasons why the rear of a car may need more camber correction compared to the front... especially on a rear weight bias car. I'm guessing the lotus your talking about is the Elise? The rear of that car carries over 60% of the weight. so the rear tires are going to be more loaded than the front, and the sidewalls of the tries are going to flex more in a turn; especially powering out of a corner. So I wouldn't be surprised if the rear gained more camber.
