Also i like the thought of banning extreme mid motor cars with a maximum distance foward a motor can be it seems the brca have let the rules for buggies slide and still strict as ever in touring cars and such classes

Not that this debate would concern me as we run on dirt here and no-one would want to race a 4wd car as 2wd here, but I think a car that has two wheel drive is a two wheel drive car, not a four wheel drive car. No matter if the parts to make the car came from a 4wd car. 2wd is 2wd. This is just my opinion, of course, I just don't see the logic why it would be 4wd...
A whole different question is wether these cars should be allowed or not. But I just think the cars are 2wd no matter how you look at it.
Oh, and as another comment about fwd cars as they were mentioned in the thread as well, the worlds has a rule that fwd cars must run in the 4wd class. This is kinda stupid, as they are 2wd. But on the other hand, if one looks at the rules more carefully, it specifically states that 2wd cars must be real wheel drive, thus fwd cars can't compete in 2wd (rwd) class.4wd class specifies that 4wd and fwd cars can be used. So in fact it is not that stupid rule after all. Maybe the class should just be named RWD instead of 2WD. Well, that's the IFMAR rules, I don't know about BRCA rules...
