Surely a huge torque differential between an RGV and a RT? Also, I would assume the track they decided to use was based on their desired outcome. Sorted 250's lap at some exceptional pace, which I seriously doubt an RT could live with on all but a small number of tracks, where the torque may (just may) provide an unassailable advantage.

Annoyingly, I cant find the article, but IIRC it wasn't a "power" circuit and they fully expected the RGV to win. The RT with telelever could get deeper into corners, turn on the brakes and immediately onto power. The RGV with normal forks had to come off the brakes sooner to allow the suspension to settle. The lightweight RGV was quicker on chicanes. Both were much the same on accel and top speed.
Telelevers being proprietary wont be seen outside BMW, but it made me wonder why Hossack front ends are not used on track racers.
