Touge battle: AWD vs RWD

Touge battles between the different types of drive train layout is a great way to compare the two technologies. Opposition from either sides has reason to believe why one is better than the other, and so on. The real determination factor between these two powers is based on the type of track and the driving style of the operator. Rear-wheel drive prefers short, tight corners while all-wheel drive prefers long corners. Drivers also make a huge difference, as both vehicles cornering provide a negative attribute of some kind that each driver must manage. Rear wheel drive tends to slide out, while all-wheel drive tends to nose plow similar to front-wheel drive.

Drivers can use the rear wheel drive to apply torque and power from the engine during a curve to slightly change the angle of the vehicle. As you press the gas pedal, the nose of the car will start to draw into the corner you are navigating. Be careful! Too much throttle and you will spin out. There is a careful balance that must be achieved to use this technique. One wrong move, your off the track. However, properly operated it will allow the vehicles power to be used to effectively pivot the front of the vehicle around a corner. Using rear-wheel drive properly can defy even the tightest corners if properly driven.

All-wheel drive when properly used and dominate all forms if properly driven. To achieve minimal time through a tight corner, it must be taken aggressively. Sliding the car out from the center line and using the force of all-wheel drive to "pull" through a corner is the fastest way for AWD to dominate tight corners. The car is balanced in the turn almost perpendicular to the inside of the corner. Throttle determines your final trajectory, the more power asserted equals closer to the inside of the corner. Practice makes perfect, this is not an easy skill to apply. AWD optimal cornering pushes the driver and vehicle to the limit, effectively balancing control just before the point of disaster.

Overall, all-wheel drive is a better choice for enthusiasts that enjoy a good launch, and adequate stock handling capabilities. In order to achieve the fast times with AWD, the driver must be more aggressive. Rear wheel drive can be used for tight corners because the power originates from the rear and in fact can pivot the front of vehicle around a corner. RWD achieves the fastest times with finesse. The following Touge battle illustrates the difference between modified and stock versions of rear-wheel and all-wheel drive systems. Which do you think is better? Comment below!
