That's quite a bold statement. As I said 4WD doesn't automatically mean better. 4WD especially very simple one (better to say primitive) which we know from current R5/WRC cars brings a lot of disadvantages for use on dry asphalt with a high level of grip - namely a lot more understeering, higher power loss in the drivetrain and much worse turning radius without handbrake. Please also don't ignore the wide tyres Porsche has. It's huge difference if You have 235 or 325 mm tyre on asphalt.

Rallycars are 4WD not because of dry asphalt but because of loose and dirty surface. If the championship was all held on dry asphalt only, there would be winning 2WD machines such as F2 cars once were.
