I wonder if the car that comes from behind has a couple extra HP just because the engine should be a few degrees cooler than the lead car.
It's probably more due to aero than engine power. The car in the back is not pushing through as much air, so it can go a little faster and get around. Of course, at some point the airflow over the car gets disrupted and the handling gets funky, so you have to be careful exactly where you go relative to the other car...
I missed the last ~half of the race, too bad.
