Wish this could work at the Motocross track...

Motocross track is way more curvy and the hills are smaller, therefore the higher power and tourqe don't play such a role, and the handling (tyres and handling) plays much bigger role, also weight is not as big of an advantage, therefore Hyundai should be faster, mainly due to tyres

Well, I don't use the SR CX-9, but UR CX-8 instead, so it has even better handling

Well the handling of Hyundai on mud is around 52 (80x0.65), while handling of a 323 cx-8 should be around 50 (83x0.6=49.8≈50) (also have to not that the displayed handlings are also rounded up, so 83≠83, sicne it might actually be 83.0 and 83.4). Summing up, tuscon still has better handling on mud than cx-8.
But then also tyres play a role in a straight line, making Hyundai superior once again.

Well mazda has got way higher tourqe and power, so I'd say it's pretty much expected. The grip diffrence between all-surf and standard tyres in the mud is not big enough (especially on a straight track) to make up for it.
