ability to compete in class

Explanation:
"... proving their ability to compete in class ...... in class behind"
To translate literally with "competitiveness" in English sounds awkward an unnatural. The standard phrase used in the rally driving world for "di classe" seems to be "in class" (see link) meaning not in absolute position but in the car's class.
