Do tell.
That's Barry and he was amped on negative speed force there.
And you conveniently forgot the race across the world where Flash was going at full speed.

Tell us what is happening before those panels Alberto.
In Flash War him and Wally outran him so bad that they never even realized Supes was behind them. And this was after they had already been running for a while.
But still good to see Supes keeping pace in that, however fast Barry was going.
Barry was apparently lending KE to Superman regardless. I have to read Metal over again to see if there was anything more behind that. It's been a while.
And both of these are very similar to Barry lending Kinetic Energy to Steadfast. Though you can argue that Barry was only able to do it to a Still Force conduit:
The story from Tom King and artists Andy Kubert, Sandra Hope, and Brad Anderson recounts one such race between Flash and Superman, televised around the globe as people everywhere root for their favorite racer. Naturally, Superman falls behind soon after they start, rallying once or twice and closing the gap. But with the result seeming clear, Lex Luthor decides to pour some salt on the wounds of his famous foe.
Promising to double all charitable donations raised by the race--but only if Superman manages to win--Lex makes the Man of Steel responsible for "billions" of dollars NOT going to help the world's least fortunate. But Lex doesn't know that Superman is always listening for his enemy's voice... meaning he hears every word of the wager. And as the child narrating this unforgettable race explains, only then does Superman prove why he's one of a kind:
He was going to lose. But he knew if he lost, all those charities would lose, too. All that money. A billion dollars going from Lex Luthor's pocket into making a better world. So he couldn't lose. So he came to what I like to call a contradiction... A contradiction means there are two things that have to be true but they can't both be true... Everyone was saying it was over. He couldn't catch up. People were upset. But I wasn't upset. I was watching. I knew something they didn't know...
A person flying is a contradiction. No one can fly. it's impossible. But Superman. He flies. Having hope when there is no hope is a contradiction. But Superman always has hope. The world is full of contradiction... No matter what you do, how much you try or even cry or even do anything at all, that's everything and everything. But... but Superman. But Superman.
So while it goes without saying that Flash is obviously faster than Superman, putting the two against one another in a race changes the question. Who's faster? Flash. Who would win in a race when the future of the world is on the line? That's exactly the kind of scenario Superman is made for: doing the impossible for the sake of all humanity. We doubt even The Flash himself would argue the result.
And who said Superman was giving it all?
They were already going at full speed, Superman had to catch up to them. He would've to be faster than both to be able to catch up to them.
Barry repeatedly bbn left Clark in his dust ("hundreds of milesso ")
Clark needed to dig deeeeeep to catch him.
To get close to Barry took so much out of him he was left leaning on his knees panting in exhaustion while Barry AGAIN left him behind (showing no signs of tiring or even pushing himslef)
Clark was HEAVILY motivated to leave Nothing behind, leave it ALL on the track.
So basically Clark hearing that Luthor would match any money made by the rave for charity (billion dollars) not only ensuring the charities have some major funds BUT ensuring Luthot has a billiin or so less dollars to spend on his evil ends. PLUS having the added bonus of causing his greatest enemy more personal hell and punishment than anything he has ever done made him pull out everyrhing to the point of sheer exhaustion (that Barry was clearly no where near and still had plenty in the tank) to JUST pip him at the post.
Yet somehow this is supposed to mean hes now faster than Flash
That's right, My personally opinion was same as the screenrant, Flash still is technically the fastest, But when it comes to the world's future(Or other similar events), Superman would win the race
