- gamblor956 7y agoRunners are allowed to draft in a marathon. And they do, until the last 2 miles of the race. The car did not provide drafting, it provided the pace. It was kept far enough in front of the runners to minimize the drafting effect.
- blensor 7y agoAre you sure that he had artificial draft from the pace car? From the photos it was at least 1 1/2 body lengths in front of him and since it was projecting the optimal path for the pacers the distance was probably very constant the whole time.
