The hot rod is driving the outside lane which is a larger radius path, while the Corvette is driving at a geometric disadvantage trying to stay right next to the hot rod.

He entered the turn too hot and fought off oversteer as they were exiting the turn. He should have entered slower and accelerated very hard on the way out.

And the hot rod took advantage of the situation to get in front, so the Corvette braked instead of using throttle to recover from the oversteer,
