No, they brake earlier and longer, as their corner speeds are lower and their braking is not as good. Then, they have to accelerate from lower speeds.

The 917 analogy makes no sense. They figured that problem out 40 years ago. It's hard to unlearn things.

You can't eliminate it, so why try. Also, why reward bad performance?
