Little Question of the driving missions

[Mopsdrops]

Hi,

I decided to play some driving missions but I'm stuck at one mission, number 23 (Slipstream) , where you drive a Skyline GT-R and get first place. There is a very long difference between the first and the second car. My problem is how I can get passed the first car ??? I'd try to get the highest speed I can get and am still one or two seconds to late to beat the first car. Can someone please tell me how I can get 1st place ?
