There's no doubt in my mind that the 2 configurations drive differently and I have also seen with other cars that some people can't initially make the transition from one to the other.
I only got a chance to drive the 22 in rear configuration once or twice during our testing but it felt super sweet to me - more stable and less edgy than a B4 but beautifully precise at the same time. It's on my list of things to do to go back and run the rear car a bit more because it felt so good.
That said - I am quicker with my mid car overall at the moment and still developing my understanding of that car.
The UK is largely dominated by mid cars these days but I do still believe the rear car at the right track and in the right hands is equally as quick. I personally think the choice of mid or rear has more to do with the nature of the corners than it has with the actual surface - if the track has corners where you need to maintain high speed with subtle direction change then the mid car has it, but if the track has many low speed pivot type hairpins, then it plays more into the hands of the rear car.
The other issue to consider is that because the 2 configurations drive so differently, it can become difficult when driving and racing wheel to wheel with each type - a mid car can be driven more aggressively than a rear car and will tend to carve a tighter line on exit. It can make for some interesting races
Just my thoughts
