It is indeed a lot of loss, that is why F1 cars can't follow at distances of much closer than 60 feet for one or two laps, before the driver has to back off. Before the current electric Hybrid's F1, you'd hear radio communication if a driver didn't get a pass done in a lap or two, to back off, and let the transmission cool.
If you ever get the chance to see a fully assembled NASCAR, the amount of cooling systems they have is amazing.
The ducts on the upper rear fenders of the current Gen Corvette, feed dual radiators for the rear mounted gearbox and differential.
