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?

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

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.

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.:champion: WRC3 championship, WRC4 championship, WRC4 PCWRC, WRC4 ERC
