Why such vastly different cars?
Depending on the track both of these cars have very distinct advantages. The MR2 out handles the VK in tight windy corners and the VK dominates the MR2 on the straights. In a way these cars are at opposite ends of the racing spectrum but they meet in the middle on a small / medium circuit like Winton.
