And if AWD wasn’t superior, they never would have banned it from most major racing series (F1, FIA GT, ALMS, LMES, SUPER GT, etc. etc. etc.)
Also, IMSA would have let this car continue to compete instead of taking away it’s tire size, then restricting it’s boost, then just banning it outright because no RWD car in the class had a shot in hell (even after all the weight penalties, restrictions and tires half the size of the rest of the RWD class).
Cue same results for Speed World GT (Audi RS 6, and whatever they ran before), and the shackles placed on the A4s in the touring car class, who still kick ass, and lap the field when it rains.
The F40 was made in the vein of classic sports car. “Classic” sports cars are usually rear wheel drive. Ferrari has years and years of RWD sports cars. Why would they go put an AWD system on a sports car that was designed for their founder’s birthday when the founder grew up with and was most comfortable with RWD cars? :smash2:
P.S. Did I mention that the Subaru STI class has ruled SCCA Touring 2 since 2004?
