Not necessarily as its all relevent to weight again, if my car has 150lb ft of torque for example, but only weights 825kgs, that means something that weights 2 ton will need over 350lb ft of torque to have the equivalent torque, if that makes sense. Plus especially around tight circuits our little hatches can get on the power so much earlier in the corner it wont matter anyway.

Tbh theres only 3 or 4 high speed circuits in the UK, where as tight circuits your looking at 20-30 easily
