It is, but it's also highly variable, with weight and power explaining a good deal of the variability.
Miatas, Twins, E30s, and lighter, lower-powered BMWs don't encounter the same issues in that regard as do the heavier, higher-powered cars like ours. This shows up as increased tire wear, much higher demands on braking components, and, in some cars, overheating issues. In our cars, when they get too hot it means reduced power output, which doesn't make much difference in lap times on any but the really high-speed tracks.
My 2¢ on the subject.
