Huge fender flares as well as the high wing doesn't help.
There is throttle restriction on the intakes, and that all factors in.
The Z4 has such a short wheelbase it will be dominate on most road courses. Great example was Long Beach, where the Z was at podium position the whole race.
On longer courses though where it can stretch its legs, it will run into problems. They had this same problem at 2013 24 Hours of Daytona, I'm surprised they didn't do anything to help.
Although, in the closing minutes Joey was keeping up with pace on the straights
