Depends on which race car. It makes somewhere around 1000 pounds at 186mph, which is probably at or above most GT4 cars and around the downforce levels of the 991.1 Cup car.
GT3 cars are 1000kg or so, so a little under half as much downforce as those cars.
But 1000lbs at 186mph is a meaningful amount of downforce for a 3,000lb car. Now on our cars, the aero is certainly more for show than go, although it is at least functional.
