How is that "cheating"? It uses a design of cooling system that gives very low drag. And it's a powerful car.

There is no demonstrated correlation in real cars between engine power and proportional cooling drag Cd. (For a given car, there might be, but not for cars in general.)

A good example of where theory and practice do not match.
