In SRL you get better handling the worse you are doing (Destiny)

A lot of people seem to think that this isn't true, but as an experienced racer in SRL I am 100% sure that the worse you are doing in a race the better handling you have with your sparrow. For example the person in first place has the least control over their sparrow and will likely have to use side boosts on turns, while someone in last place would be able to take sharp turns without side boosting once. Bungie likely did this to help the racers that weren't doing so well to catch up. So the reason you were able to take that turn without having to side boost is because you were in 5th place and had much better handling than you would've had had you been in 1st place and taken that turn.
