I think that is what I am seeing?
Corvette (Magnusson) is faster but understeers a lot when running close to Porsche (Bergmeister).

Magnusson uses pit exit to cut a corner to pass Bergmeister. Magnusson is ordered to give back the position. On the final corner, Magnusson attempts a mild "pit maneuver" on Bergmeister, loosening his back end and allowing him by. As Magnusson passes, Bergmeister drives Magnusson into the wall. I imagine that Bergmeister is turning the wheel hard left, Magnusson is turning his wheel hard right, and Bergmeister straightens a brakes, sending Magnusson into the opposite wall and letting Bergmeister pass the line while Magnusson wrecks.
