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.Quote:

So only a specialist can go fast with such a car.
RWD is easy to drive fast. Difficult to master.Quote:

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.
Heikki Kovalainen masters both rally and road cars quite damn well, so i would say him.
Loeb is a natural with most things :) He can also drive a Le Mans proto quite well too ;)Quote:
