I doubt he was racing, a chipped V GTI has around 185kw and over 350nm torque. A VR6 even with mods wouldnt go past 140kw and 300nm, either he was a bad driver or not giving it all its got, or the VR6's have been turbo charged 
I have two friends with nice VR6's and my stock 1.8T loses by about 1 car length in a TLGP, and sometimes gains on rolling starts. Thats without a chip.
Must be freakish VR6's
