19-year-old David Armstrong was killed in November 2020, soon after he appeared to be racing with driver Lucilla Brunt.
Open Justice reports a judge-alone trial heard the pair drove side-by-side at 103 kilometres an hour for 400 metres, before Brunt's vehicle clipped Armstrong's, sending it into oncoming traffic.
Motorists Caron and Mark Lancaster also suffered extensive injuries.
