can less powerful FWD cars defeat more powerful RWD cars in a race?
>>15435196
why
depends on the cars and the course
>>15435216
Because of physics.

This is exactly what togue races like in Initial D are about, racing downhill through winding mountain roads is the ideal environment for light cars.

Depends on the course and driver,
But typically no.
If you're only taking power into question and not weight then Yes, a less powerful FWD car can beat a more powerful much heavier RWD around a pretty tight track (see touge)
A FWD car that's less powerful and weighs around 300-500 lbs within its RWD rival and their both racing on pretty open tracks then No, unless the RWD car in question is old (see: C5 vs 2015 Civic Type R)

What if my FWD car isn't light
>>15435257

>>15435165
sure weight is a factor as well as track configuration
>>15435165
Well if we're talking about a HD pickup vs a Civic Type R, the Honda obviously wins, but in most cases I don't see how this is a dilemma.
>>15435165
all else equal, nope.
even if they had the same power, still no.
>>15435257
The only way you'll beat a lighter, more powerful rwd car is if he fucks up in a corner. fwd is more forgiving when being driven close to its limit.
>>15435388
thats not fair
>>15435165
If the driver of the RWD car can't drive for shit, sure.
Good driver > good car

Show me on the doll where the Geo Metro touched you, Billy-Bob.

I can't stop looking....
I mean, normally when you see people this fat, they are old and wrinkley. It's strange seeing somebody who could look ok if they lost 300lbs.
It's gross, yet I can't look away.
