Funny, but there is an answer. Usually the camera angle at a corner (or in the case of the grass in a tri oval) has to pan faster to keep the car in the shot. And, they always pull in tight once they get the car. Of course, if you see an off track excursion in person, the car is slowing as it slides on the grass. The rate of slowing could be influenced by the angle of attack. Full on, the down force areo is still working to cause a lot of drag. Change that and I think the driver might even say it seemed to start going faster. Impossible, but perceivable.
How does reaction time to visual stimulation indicate overall intelligence? That is the most disconnected study I've ever seen. But, the the author proves his own point.
