FWD vs RWD Why is it Faster?

FWD can be on par or even faster than RWD on a track, but what ultimately kills FWD on track is excessive front tyre wear.

With left foot braking FWD can push harder in corners. RWD requires sensitive control because it's easier to spin out. Basically all rally cars are AWD or FWD for that reason

Still has not posted the AWD vs RWD video 6 months later. :( has not posted any videos for 5 months which is quite sad as we will probably not get that video for a very long time if ever

[@dylanmccallister1888]

Idk fwd rally cars are usually faster than a rwd car because they can left foot brake and corner without sliding on loose surfaces. It doesnt look as cool but that fwd car is gripping and accelerating around corners a rwd rally car has to slide. An awd rally car is doing what a fwd does with some power on the back tires for even more acceleration and control.

[@littlepeugeot8341]

explained👌

"Hondas can be fast" - shows infamous ricer clip I like your humor. also, im not biased, i had a Civic (MY99) in the past which was a quick little car, now i have a GT86 :D

Sounds like a plan :)

Happy to found you :) Your videos are fantastically explained. Love all the visuals. Helps a lot for understanding. Hope you return to YT. :) Wish you the best ❤️✨

Love RWD but I live in the snow belt so FWD is a win.

[@adamcichon6957]

Last of F2 class rally Kit Cars, Citroën Xsara (fwd, 2 liter n/a, close to 300 bhp, 6 speed sequential gearbox, weight around 950 kg) was winning against WRC cars (AWD, 2 liter turbo 300+ bhp, weight 1230 kg) on twisty tarmac special stages. On that kind of roads light and powerful fwd car is the best.

[@MouseCIick]

I honestly just prefer the driven wheel to not also be the wheels that I am steering unless it is awd.

Good video! I learned a thing or two.

[@BillyBob-wh7tn]

Great explanation

[@ThePegasusAirforce]

FWD is faster HP for HP. An underpowered FWD car can easily keep up with RWD cars with much more power on tight tracks. I will admit, as a fan of drifting, RWD is definitely more fun. But to say RWD is faster isn't true. The reason why race cars are RWD is mainly because at high power numbers torque steer becomes a bigger problem, but even this is not always true. Rally racing FWD is still very common and dominates. However, for most road cars under 350whp, a FWD car would likely be much faster around a track, while a RWD car faster in a straight line. Look at the Civic Type R as an example. That car is faster around the Nurburgring than RWD cars with over double the power.

[@jakefidler6112]

Fwd uses slip at high speeds aswell using engine braking into the corner till the rear moves then powering out with the slip angle, and its achieved going into the corner at much higher speeds, where as the rwd will create slip accelerating through the corner

Hey! Could you please do a video on when to brake in a corner?

[@projectcar1079]

I already did, look into threshold braking and trail braking. I know the videos are older and not as pretty, but they should answer your questions!

[@rhymingorangez6928]

what is the white car in the thumbnail

[@Woudloper]

4:40 made me laugh out loud. One thing we can be sure of: Honda's can be fast. Then proceeds to show a Honda who is all noise and zero acceleration.

[@specialopsdave]

I feel more confident with FWD when in a slide

[@mixalisbas3214]

I love it when you lose traction in fwd cars , i think its more of a skill to control the car then rwd :)

[@georgekurgansky5986]

I slid off a track at full speed with my only choice being to accelerate into the crash to get sideways to the tyre wall instead of front on. With rwd you would engine brake to achieve the same thing. That's what happens at a point where you are way overspeed to have any traction. If I let off the throttle I wouldn't be writing this on here. Scary. Front wheel drive over the far end of any grip is complete commitment, crawl past it little by little.

[@specialopsdave]

@@georgekurgansky5986 When in a slide already with RWD, your drive wheels are sliding and no amount of throttle input will change that fact, while a FWD car in a rear-slide still has *full* grip on the drive wheels, meaning MUCH more control.

[@joegomez5463]

Fwd responds well enough to lift off oversteer with the right set up. And you can torque steer your way straight again. Fwd is weird, and I still don't think the car offers the same level of control as a RWD, but FWD is also more forgiving in a lot of spots. That said, Try to take a 90 degree turn at 150 Mph in either, and you'll die in both.

[@joegomez5463]

As an avid FWD driver, you simply cannot 0-60 the same way a rwd car does. I see no reason a FWD car can't achieve the same top speed, but the take off will never be as good. That said, yeah they are hella fun when you know how to use them, and RWD has it's advantages as well. But then again I just like cars in general....lmao. Fwd, Rwd, Awd, a lawnmoawer on shopping cart wheels, idc, the car is as boring as you make it.

[@kaushikkalita7310]

many people think that rwd is faster but thats completely lie in modern times, sure rwd was better than fwd in old times but now same power level fwd cars can easily beat any rwd cars, if you dont trust my words then try it yourself, try to drive both the drive trains with same power level in a track or any real simulation game and i am sure you will notice you are getting better lap times with fwd cars

[@billx4266]

You are wrong. FWD cars can be very fast on tracks, look at the times at the nurburgring for FWD. Dont start an argument like "YeS But A Gt3 RS is FaStEr aNd Is RwD", that car has way more power! That weight transfer is only when you accelerate from 0, modern day FWD vehicles doesnt have any problem putting their power to the ground when they are moving, cornering speeds can also be very high, the sporty FWD cars has LSD between the front wheels.

[@emmanuelperrina6105]

There is a nc miata that lapped the nurburgring in 7:37 btg with less than 200hp. Show me a fwd do better

[@nightowlrally]

This is even more pronounced in rally driving, especially on loose surfaces. Additionally, because of the nature of rally driving with hairpins, off camber corners on crowned roads you have to completely change your racing line and mindset - you have to drive like you're on tarmac otherwise torquesteer tries to kill you (if you're entering a long corner and step on the throttle the car will be pulled straight in a FWD)

[@Somanybeats]

Why chevy decided to put a v8 in a fwd car is beyond me. Ughhh should've been a RWD banga

[@H3mif4v5r]

Does FWD affect how much HP u can deal with without traction being an issue?

[@Somanybeats]

@@H3mif4v5r Hecks yeah of course. When you accelerate weight is transferred to the back. That's why you want the back tires with the power because they are being pushed down when you go. Not to mention the terrible understeer

[@nakreuger]
