    Seb Loeb would be fast. Why ? Because he knows how to go fast with a FWD car. He used to race with Peugeot 106, Saxo kit car, Xsara Kit car and was pretty fast.


    Most F1 drivers only know RWD. Am I mistaken?

    Very true, all single seaters from Karts up to Formula 1 are all RWD.

    I agree with that. Eric Helary once said that the most difficult car he had to drive in a race in his entire life was the Opel touring car. Why? Because it was FWD.

    So only a specialist can go fast with such a car.

    RWD is easy to drive fast. Difficult to master.
    FWD is hard to drive fast. Extremely difficult to master.
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    There was a touring car driver in New Zealand, Angus Fogg who drove Mini's (1300cc) for years, stepped up to a pro-built Primera touring car, then went to a Bluebird touring car. After a long time campaigning FWD touring cars he stepped into a V8 Australian Supercar and JUST COULDN'T get the hang of RWD. So im imagine in many instances it's the same for the guys going RWD - FWD.

    Would definately be a mission and take some pure skill and talent...

    Same happened with Mark Skaife...couldn't drive FWD 2l touring car at all.

    I think Loeb or one of the current BTCC/WTCC drivers would be extremely quick.

    Did you not see James Blunt doing his lap, or Jennifer Saunders last week? They both managed to get the car sliding.
