Very close racing :). I’d say that was a racing incident; looked like a cut across to the inside when there wasn’t room (not actually in front), so nowhere to go, and braking on Devils to let hime through isn’t going to work either. Largely self-inflicted.
Who built that car? It behaves like an American muscle car, goes like the clappers in a straight line, but doesn’t do corners, it’s all over the place. And as for the rear spoiler are those side panels made from cardboard, it flops all around and from side to side, doing bugger all to provide downforce. I also think a non airbag steering wheel would have been a good investment.
