MK1 Cortina is lighter, and has a narrower track
theres not a huge amount in it though.
the lotus variants where homologated as mk2's with all thre goodies and make good period rally cars, I don't think the MK2 GT was ever homologated for racing per se but I recon I could get one competitive for say groovy baby, something I have considered, and still am !
a MK2 LC is potentially very competitive, although to FiA spec it would get let for deads by the later homologation specials ( escort BMW Alfa etc) much like the MK1 GT (1963) does by the MK1 Lotus ( 1966 going on 1969 !)
