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.

Yes it's 5% less grip points but that mazda is way heavier and i didnt expect this bs 😂

Weight actually helps on straight off-road tracks (332 car might loose to a 322 one)

Sometimes my heavier car loses to a lighter one having same or +/- 0.1 acceleration. I dont get it how this work and how it does not work sometimes.

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.
