We see Kanata start to go through a change where he's just happy to be driving to where he wants to WIN. Seizing the opportunity the fog presents, he goes on the offensive and uses his photographic memory to basically replay the track in his head while going through the motions. You know, because that's a totally reasonable and realistic thing that can happen. It's not like differing road conditions or anything would change your memorized timings.
Still, him passing by the Ferrari like it was standing still was great.
The race director can thank his lucky stars that nobody died or was injured in both fog and slippery conditions, and Kanata is also very lucky that he didn't rear end somebody who was driving at a more responsible speed.
But I'd be surprised if the director can get insurance for next year's race without some changes.
