Engineer here. If there's no air in your system (as designed) the flow direction doesnt matter here, as the pump will overcome the natural convection by so much it's not even measurable. It would matter in a fully passive system but it's not (flow is forced by the pump). Heat transfer through the radiator is purely a factor of flow and surface area, flow direction doesnt matter at all.As for racing cars other considerations like how quick and easy you can change parts are just as important (sometimes more, e.g. for endurance racers), and there placement of things matter.
