I strongly disagree indeed, but the fact I'm developing a FWD is not the only reason - see here (
link) my earlier post.
On a regular basis I come across the problem that the majority of regulations are (still) written in the assumption that all 2WDs are rear wheel drive.
As such for example, regulated tires are often stated by 'rear' and 'front', not 'driven axles.' It's a bit weird, considering it would be sufficient to state that drivers should use one pair of '(2WD) front' tires on the car, and one pair of 'rear' tires - so it's logical to put the wider tires on the axles with which you put the power down - It's highly unlikely that a RWD buggy will go faster with the wide tires up front and the narrow ones on the back, or any 2WD buggy with two wide tires on one side... so why ban it!? Anyone bold (and bonkers
) enough to try it out will give everyone a good laugh, and if it results in a race win with it that driver deserves that prize!
