wow...so many diff cars...

some are even old vintage cars...

got MR-S also...

[Chromas]

The old cars have drivers that drift well. Maybe it's cos they're not so afraid of "destroying" the old cars, thus allowing them to push their limits even more

I tink y nwdays many cars are FF is bcos they r cheaper to built & oso FF is easier to control (Harder to spin out)

I see a KP in there.

FF cars are favored because engineers are pushing for cars to be idiot proof. To drive a FR or RR car, you should not be stupid to say the least and must be skilled.

 

FF cars has tremendous amounts of understeer. This would require braking and slowing down before entry into a turn or you crash head on into the turn. It is to "scare" people into not doing stupid things that will endanger their lives. Furthermore, LFB is much harder to do should you want to take a turn faster with a FF car.

 

Yes, they are cheaper because they don't need that transaxle.

That's exactly why I got bored of my FF Vios

 

Gosh, didn't realise that my father's old old Lancer of the past was actually a FR car... and he sold it away 15 years ago...
