Don't know the driving credentials of the Supra driver, but it doesn't seem like he was up to the level of Sabine. Put Sabine in the Supra and the other guy in the M3, the result may have been the exact opposite.

i also think the supra should have been able to hang tighter.

but looking at the 2 cars passing each other every other turn, that looks kind of weird too
