how do superkarts perform so well despite lacking a rear differential? Could a similar concept be applied to F1 cars?

See other posts re: big b*lls, short wheelbase, etc. etc. - different game entirely.

Try and follow an F1 car through Pouhon in a kart.

You cannot compare.

F1 diff's are very sophisticated and are controlled electronically.

Fixed diff's (or spools) are only used in NASCAR oval racing and drag racing.

And V8 supercar, and most Porsche's racer in 70s and 80s.....
