I agree with this. Have used my new Escort B class with off road tires on many tracks including facing the raptor and i dont think there are any uses for the raptor when so many cars can beat it. my escort destroys it
@STRV103B You need to chill out. Seems your every post is insulting to someone. You can have a conversation and even a debate without all the snide remarks.

Insulting? Snide? At least I’m not so impolite and offensive, I didn’t attack anyone, what I did is speak out, you can chose not to look since I didn’t intend to offend someone

You as an administrator should make it fair, I just express what I want to say but I got some attack indeed, but what did I do to them?Dude I speak in a joke tone and never attack them. If you think those are too offensive I won’t speak like that
Meanwhile in real world, rwd eat their **** in off road racing
Tell that to Walter Röhl and the 1982 lancia rally team
In those old times technology are not so developed... FWD and 4WD have a absolutely advantage on off road, RWD dies in twist
All other factors being equal, yes. All other factors are not equal.
A RWD Ariel Nomad would destroy a 4WD Audi RS7 on an off road course.
The number of driven wheels isn't the only factor that matters.
Anyhow, we're off topic, and I need to get to work! Have a nice day.
Google it and you will know, and no one wants to use a RS7 in rally race, it’s stupid like using a GTR in rally, weight does matter.
I never said that they did, I'm just making the point that there is significantly more to off road performance than 4wd.
Plenty of RWD cars still rally today btw.
Forgive me find some random articles online, so many data and articles shows rwd sux on off road, they are hard to handle, and same driver driving a fwd or a 4wd will absolutely beat his rwd
Alright, time to chime in. RWD is absolutely better in an off-road race environment. If it's an average driver, then FWD is safer and easier to handle. But if it's a professional driver, there's a lot more control and performance available when one set of wheels are driving the car and the other set are steering the car. Understand the engineering and physics of it. It's impossible for a tire to completely steer and deliver power. It has to do one or other or compensate between the two.
Do almost all WRC two-wheel drive cars use FWD (The R1, R2, R3 classes)? Yes. But they need to be based on production cars, and well, there aren't any subcompact RWD cars anymore.

Of course there is the odd exception to the rule.
I was just going to mention Dakar trucks. Great minds think alike.

Some modification cars have different adjustments on all 4 wheels make it easier to handle... those hard modified car are not in my assumption... I am always talking about production cars. BTW, mini is master of fwd? Civic Type R won’t agree that, but we don’t discuss manufacturers here, it’s like a argue of best programming language lol

The Grand Tour raced an Arial Nomad vs an Audi TT on a gravel track. Surprisingly the Audi won, and fairly convincingly too if I recall correctly. Maybe it was fitted with “standard” tires?

There's a reason big-buck off-road series are AWD or RWD. Take a look a MINI. A master of FWD. But they chose RWD for their off-road buggy. because it performs much better (and is easier on the equipment).

Trophy trucks are RWD and are on some of the tightest, twistiest course out there.
