I don't think the driver was sleeping.. the cossy is AWD... there's no way the RS should beat it off the line, and with similar HP numbers, that gives it all the advantage it needs.
Cosworth:
Power: 227HP/220lb-ft
0-60 MPH: 5.7 s
AWD
Focus RS:
Power: 212HP/227lb-ft
0-60 MPH: 6.4 s
FWD
the numbers just match the real life performance.

Judging by the way it left the line, it's geared a hell of a lot deeper than the RS in the first two cogs as well. Makes sense as it is AWD.
