The Race
In the video there wasn’t a run in which Swift didn’t prove to be a superior and faster car. In every run the swift took an advantage of couple of seconds. Even when the air conditioning in the Swift was switched on the car flew past Hyundai Verna like a rocket.
Reason for the win
The Utter Reason why the swift always left the Verna behind even after being under powered was that of Power to weight ratio. While the Verna might have more power but it weighs more. at the same time the swift any where in-between 875-905 kg . Now even though Verna the has more power it loses because of being heavy and having a slow automatic transmission . While the swift even after being under powered can stretch its legs further.
Safety precautions
Although the car were owned privately by the participants its not advisable to conduct such races on public roads. The danger of there being accidents always looms close . Also if proved as this video once published can, that the owner was in a pursuit of testing the top speed or trying to do a timed run in case of an accident the insurers might turn hesitant to help.
