It is known that the 2 player mode can be abused to go faster, this is why we ban it from runs.
We don't have a direct section of code to explain the 2 player mode slingshotting, but after testing it has been proven that while being in second place in 2 player mode, that player will travel significantly faster than is possible otherwise and have the maximum traction stat. This does not apply to AI or tournament mode, just to the 2 players relative to one another. The game is essentially giving you constant speed and traction until you get within a certain distance of the first player. Your run, along with a couple other runs abusing this, can be found here: https://www.speedrun.com/swe1rextras/level/The_Boonta_Training_Course?h=2_Player_1_Lap-Upgrades&x=l_xd0p1vjw-7kj7y6nk-dlo7zye8.p12pzxdq
