Question about the car chase scene

So in the car chase scene, are the cars that reverse Sator and the reverse protagonist in also reversed? If not then just by driving the cars they are influencing it to behave like it’s also going back in time?

Now you got me asking what happens if an inverted person tries to drive a normal car?

They would have to put it in Reverse to drive forward, since in normal entropy it’s moving backwards.

No that’s not true, reverse isn’t the opposite of a forward gear. It would have to be un-driven forwards in first gear. See my post above

Yeah but if the car was driven in first gear it would be moving forwards in forward entropy, which wouldn’t work for the inverted person since that would mean it’s moving backwards in their point of view. Your theory would work if the car was inverted too.
