English term or phrase: more than made up
Despite starting from the back of the grid, the championship leader had managed to climb 18 places by the final moments of the race. The driver failed to set a time in Qualifying but more than made up for the rough start with a sensational, clean drive through the pack.

Gostaria de sugestões para essa expressão.

Portuguese translation:recuperação incrível
Explanation:
"To make up" tem o sentido de compensar. Se traduzíssemos literalmente, ele "mais do que compensou". No contexto da corrida, com um treino classificatório ruim, ele conseguiu "uma boa recuperação", ou "uma recuperação incrível".
