Basically it makes the car more responsive on high grip surfaces like astroturf and allows more natural rotation both of which make you faster around a lap.
That said on wet / slipper surfaces rear motor is normally much easier to drive.
The reasons for that are partially a more forward weight distribution (so more steering) and a lower polar moment of inertia (so easier to start / stop the rear coming around mid corner).
I hope that makes sense.
