outracing
Leaving competitors behind
Outracing is running or moving faster than something else, leaving it behind: The sprinter was outracing the field by the final turn.
The word extends beyond literal speed to any competitive advantage: Technology is outracing our ability to regulate it.
To outrace danger or disaster is to escape it through speed.
