No definitely wrong! Golf R just won 1 discipline. Normal drag Race the Clubsport S has no chance because of 4WD. But rolling race like on Autobahn the Golf R has no Chance. On track the Golf R has no chance as well. So there are 3 important or big disciplines and Golf R just won 1 of these.

they have got the same wheel power
(do not confuse the engine power with the real power at the wheels )
and clubsport S also weighs less and different setup e maybe different tyres, or not ?
It's time to start preparing a golf r with the same set-up and power to the wheels of the 2wd and the same tires of clubsport S
