Not even true in that case, because races often come down to luck with pit stops and how aggressive other drivers are in protecting their space. If you can&#x27;t pass the dude without rear ending him, you&#x27;re not going to pass him, doesn&#x27;t matter how better your &quot;single-racer&quot; driving skills or faster your car is on paper.<p>Even in footraces, the competitors still have influence on each other with drafting and late starting and whatnot.
