Good question. It has a lot of variables honestly though.
1. Each strategy tries different things, the other 3 have varying degrees of saving stamina early to burn it at the very end while front runner does not do this well.
2. The 4 strategies get different multipliers to their true speed in the final leg, to simulate non-front runners having conserved energy until the end. So a 1200/1200/1200 end will go much faster than a 1200/1200/1200 front once they both accelerate.
3. A core benefit of Front Running is not being in a large group, which reduces the odds you're boxed in. On paper the other race types are stronger than Front Runners without a doubt, but in practice they are boxing each other in and fucking each other over all the time. It doesn't matter if you have 1200 speed if you're sitting behind someone with 600 speed and can't move horizontally.
4. The answer you're probably looking for as far as "what determines if the others slingshot" is Stamina/Wit. If the front runner is fast enough (because of wit) they can cuck the others out of entering Pace Down mode. If the others never enter Pace Down mode, they're not conserving the stamina they needed to conserve in order to get the insane final spurts they do. This is especially vital for End/Late racers, they don't need as much stamina as the rest largely because the will gladly enter Pace Down even when they are far behind the Front Runner. The chart in pic rel shows it, essentially if the End is less than 7 lengths away from the Front Runner then they can Pace Down, but if the Front Runner is insanely cracked and has wit + skills to rush forward and they manage to get the End Closer to -9 lengths away, they force the End Closer to Pace Up (waste stamina) instead. In practice you don't see this often, it requires a crazy wit on the Front Runner and dogshit Wit on the End Closer.
