Its quite the gap between them. One sort of needs a completely different tactics in gearing with the two different cars. This is why i asked the question, i have seen it, but i really do not understand why and how this happening. ( cars tested with the same electronics )

any more insight is highly welcome, and i agree, its very interesting.
The Awesomatix has a very low centre of gravity which helps a lot in the corners. That may be what you're noticing rather than the internal ratio.
