According to online rankings the Lotus 33 is the fastest car in the 1965 mod for Grand Prix Legends. However on paper the Honda RA272 has a much higher power to weight ratio. But the better balance of the Lotus 33 and lack of torque from the V12 Honda engine makes these paper specifications quite useless in reality.
Therefore I thought it would be fun to compare a lap around the Nürburgring in both cars to see where the Lotus 33 gains it's advantage over the Honda RA272 and why.
