Contexte: Competitors are assessed on consistency of their lap times **as against** outright speed.

et non
Explanation:
à mon avis, c'est ici le sens courant de l'expression "as against", donc le "contrairement à" que tu envisages, qu'on peut traduire ici par exemple par "et non"
(les concurrents sont évalués sur ... et non sur ...)

(en fait "as against" signifie se traduit souvent par "contre", dans des phrases du genre "l'indice était de X% en 2006, contre Y% en 2005", mais ici "contre" ne convient pas)
