I have an idea.

I guess cars switch to full assists during that sequence and it may be an indicator how good you did in that race relative to your PR. If you finish 3rd and your car easily passes first two, it means your car is more upgraded than them and you underachieved. If you finish 1st and get passed right after, congratulations, you just kicked a few noob butts with an underupgraded car.
