How NOT to drive a 430 Scuderia

I was in a red MX-5 NC, just looking to touch up on skills that I never had. Lobby leader decides to start the race and gets in his 430 Scuderia. I'll take some pictures later since we can't upload replays on GTP ;_;
 
Here, I've got them.

So we're at the start line right here. I do believe now after watching the replay that he power limited his Scuderia, which was a nice move on his part.

We've gone through the first corner without incident, with my Roadster somehow getting ahead.

I forget which corner this is, but it's that one left followed by a quick right. I've crashed around here enough times to know how to brake in a straight line, especially with ABS 0. On the other hand...

This guy doesn't. As far as I'm concerned, he tried to brake AND turn at the same time, while having ABS 0 (both of us were restricted). I later looked at the skid marks, and it was surprising to me that only his right rear locked up. It still sent him flying into the wall...

... Leaving me as the winner here. Yay!
