Irrespective of its torque no gearing could save the ass of a lower

Even though they have 80% and 100% more torque, the 180Nm/200Nm cars are
losers, 75Kw 83Kw. This is contrary to all claims regarding torques
ability to win races.

Racing engines are a very special design. Generally with the peak torque
and peak BHP very close together, RPM wise. Making it near impossible to
determine where the peak acceleration in a single gear occurs.

But this discussion didn't start out about specialist engines.

Correct, it was a very, very simple question you are unable to answer.
