When you lower a street car excessively, suspension geometry is thrown out the window, instead of arms having equal movement both ways they are maxed out in one direction, roll centre is misaligned.
A race car is setup to be this low by moving, the suspension mount points to different positions than stock, and even include things like adjustable roll centres and sway bars on the fly.
Please research and know what you are talking about, as well as reading the entire thread before you come in and start questioning things.
yes i know lowering a car beyond its intended ride height increases the distance between roll centre and centre of gravity, which results in worse handling.
my question was what they did to compensate for it with circuit cars.

which you answered, more or less.
Also Aero has a lot to do with this - you'll notice all high end race cars don't actually run that much camber due to lack of body roll and the added downforce of aero packages...
When you get in to aero alot of conventional road based suspension tuning is thrown out the window...
Well yes and no, are we talking ground clearance height or suspension height?
Yes the cyber evo has aero packages that almost touch the ground, but if you look at the wheel to arch gap it is still quite a bit lowered compared to a normal evo
