Would I have lost? The other thing was I kept my foot to the floor trying to get away from him and hopefully give him room to get stopped but if I would have went quicker than my dial would I have also lost? He did a good job and got it under control and it didn't end up being serious but after that race I was wondering was the race over once he crossed into my lane?

If you broke out, you would have won because he crossed into your lane.
If you crossed into his lane, you would win because he did the same thing first.
As far as the race being over once he crossed into your lane, I'm not sure about that. If you went and stuffed your car into the wall, is that worse? Or are they both just boundary infractions at the same level. But you could have gone red, broke out, or changed lanes after your opponent did and still be the winner.
I really don't know how it works if you would have come up light or failed fuel check with your opponent swapping lanes.
