Define hard, the RS is slower yes, but just by a notch as you can see here, they are very close.
On track it really comes down to who is the better driver if you would go with a Type R against a RS. My mate has done a fair amount of track days with the Type R and came across the new MK3 RS last weekend on the Zandvoort track here in the Netherlands. His Type R is remapped, making 350bhp and 520nm of torque but needed atleast 6 laps to shake of the RS. RS is also a beast on track, the grip it has is insane.
