Most races are not against time though… They’re against other competitors. The time it takes you is pretty irrelevant, as long as the others are slower.
It’s more or less only time trials that are races against time.
I’m not sure, if you’re racing me in a 100m sprint and you do it in 15 seconds, that’s pretty useless information depending on whether I’m at the 90m mark or beyond the finish at that point, so it’s primarily a race against the speed I travelled at
All races are a race against time, that’s how races work
