most racecars never run at their top speed due to all the curves so they have power to spare to overcome additional drag without loosing speed. and if this additional drag means they can go trough a corner faster than more drag might actually mean a better lap time.

Dead right.
The Porsche 917 turbo had more downfoce devices than enough and 1 , 000 + horsepower BUT is also had the aerodynamics of a house brick.
Even VW humble Kombi scored better in the Cd stakes.
