I prefer the qualities of a No Wheel Drive.
It takes a while to learn how best to use gravity, but you'll complete a lap in no time! (Won't be fast, but hey! you did it!)
I prefer RWD myself, but hasn't AWD usually shown itself to be faster when it's been allowed in a mixed series? By spreading out the torque across more wheels and therefore more contact patch area they can get more power down with less wheelspin. Cars like the Audi Quattro in TransAm, IMSA then DTM 88-91. Or the LMP1 hybrids that could never be balanced well against the RWD non-hybrids because the electric motors on the front wheels helped so much with acceleration traction regardless of what balancing they attempted on raw power, fuel limits, etcFrom a racing purists point of view it is always going to be RWD.It is faster,looks more spectacular & your steering input is not affected by the wheels being driven.
FWD can be fun.The old Minis did oversteer & one make or touring car series have close racing in real life or sims.
AWD is definitely more efficient than RWD off road but personally I think WRC would be far better to watch if the cars were 400HP RWD instead of the 350HP AWD.
