They already knew Racer's magic during their fight with Racer yet Gray and Lyon still needed each other to beat Racer, simply put they still can't beat him alone otherwise they would have done that already during that time considering they already knew Racer's magic.

The problem is you're comparing Preskip Racer to a Postskip Gray, of course there's a high chance that Gray already surpassed a Preskip Racer, I'm only comparing their Preskip selves to each other, a preskip Racer via feats is above Preskip Gray by a fair margin. A Postskip Racer though has some feats under his belt, he is faster than Doranbolt who uses teleportation magic when Racer is not even using his full speed, that should at least warrant him to be on Postskip Gray's tier, considering Racer is actually enhancing his speed not slowing the perception of time of his opponent, his attack is now more lethal considering the momentum. Racer has his motorcycle magic, I doubt Ice floor would make a difference.

How is he using HIS own knife considered as Racer's demerit? My point is Racer has the capacity to end the fight earlier had he used his knife that he only used at the end. Point is Racer's knife is as much as a weapon as Erza's swords, why should we discredit him of using his own knife? You would have made a point if Racer just so happen to pick that knife during that fight but it's not the case, he carry a knife ergo it's as much as a weapon as Lucy's whip, Erza's sword, etc.
