This can be true with cars with more weight and power as well. Some tracks simply don't present braking demands at a level that will keep a car's rotors hot enough when running ducting. Mont Tremblant is an example, summer or spring/fall.
To my way of thinking, the ideal braking system on a track car will have ducting, and the owner will have made provisions for blocking that ducting off when on that type of track. Most drivers will use tape (cheap & easy); some go to the trouble of using something like expanding foam to create shaped plugs for the duct openings in the bumper cover.
