Post comunist Lada Samara is FWD. There are even 4WD version for Rallies in Russia I think. But You probably mean the most famous Lada in the Western world - VFTS (or it's not that tuned predecessor 2107/05).
Anyway some words about Lukyanuk. All his experience looks on similar roads, quite entertaining, but not enough for E/WRC. So I'd like to see him on various surfaces/car classes too. I think he will be fast and spectacular there too, but it's only a suggestion."With that car, your brain can actually never keep up"

I don't know about "the Western World". I only know what I know and top me the most famous Lada is the good old this one, sideways, as Bogu intended!*
I knew that for some reason they eventually made a FWD car, pooor Rooskies! No more sideways action any time!
I wondered because we have a very strange dogma in America--so you, where every kid with a keyboard and Colin McRae Rally game is expert driver, and tactician and where as a result we make so many battalions, no divisions of WRC drivers scoring so many points, right and all the 'ex-spurt' say FWD is best to learn in...
and "all the current WRC drivers all learned in FWD car"..
I say it doesn't matter the drive type if its FWD or RWD, it matters the specification of the car... That a Piece of scheisse FWD OR a piece of scheisse RWD car (no steering, no diff-brems oder LSD, crap gearing (achsubersetzung heisst daas oder wass), no brakes) is mainly a pieces of scheisse and you learn little,
while on the other hand a good FWD or a good RWD are both fine to learn..
That's why I say Astra, OK we know that is excellent car because they worked good for so many drivers in national and World championship events and I know the parts that go in...
I just wondered about Lukyanuk as i said because he dance so good like mainly I see guys with RWD experience in their early days.
* If God did not intended us to drive sideways, then why did he invent RWD and why he invent gravel? And snow!??Last edited by janvanvurpa; 29th September 2014 at 08:07.

I named it because this Lada is most popular now in the "open" world (I think it was something designed for Group B). And rightly so because is the most powerful, and also RWD - yes.
I see Your point. FWD isn't something new. I think Mini made break through with such in Monte Carlo (50's - 60's, don't remember exact year). The common impression FWD driver is better probably comes from recent World champions - Loeb, Ogier were S1600 champions, which is essentially FWD as some kitcars beating WRC on regular basis in early 2000's on the asphalt rounds. I honestly can't make such final judgement as I know RWD car is probably more difficult to drive, so when You master it, You can drive anything. Just theory anyway."With that car, your brain can actually never keep up"
