Lose x VS lose sight of x

Are both natural?


Stay close to the car in front. Try not to lose it/lose sight of it.

Is the first sentence correct as well?

thank you

Both are fine in the second sentence. The first sentence is faulty because the car in front is the car ahead of the other car or cars, when you mean the car in front of the car being driven by the person you are addressing. You would have to say "the car ahead of you" or something like that.
