So that was unusual start fastest cars at the rear, however,
Rough passing statistics, not counting spun cars, but including cars passed twice, from perspective of the video car:
Accelerating 1
Mid straight 4
End of straight/Braking 6
Turning (likely includes some off line point by's) 4


My takeaway, somewhat reinforces idea low end torque IMO is less important that HP for passing in road racing,

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
