[MROOD]

I mean AWD justs peforms better in all scenarios

So dont I just AWD all my cars in the game

What exactly is the benefit of RWD?

Drift

RWD provides power and control around fast corners without losing traction.

It makes for faster cars overall bnut requires more finesse in the throttle control in curves. That's why better drivers will better take advantage of RWD tunes.

Note that FWD is also pretty strong in this game eventho under utulised. Sticking with AWD is great if you have no intention on actually competing, it works great against AI and makes cars easier to handle.

If you actually want to improve, using RWD cars is a great way to do it.

rwd is fun, awd in horizon is gonna do good, just better accleration in city landscapes and offroading and over bumpy terrain.

Cornering. No power going to front wheels, means their entire traction goes toward steering, which makes conrenring techniques more effective. This is why many AWD cars/builds sends more torque to rear than to front, to reduce understeer. You can feel the difference yourself by changing torque bias in AWD car.

You just described AWD, not RWD.

This game does a good job of selling the weight control via AWD vs RWD. I do notice a good difference and is convincing. I sometimes wish the hotwheels DLC was never released and people can stop calling this game arcadey.

You mean FWD ingame works liek RWD in real life? LOL, good to know.

AWD increases weight and eats up more PI than RWD. So RWD will always be lighter and usually has better horsepower for the same PI = higher top speed.

RWD also doesn't have to slow down as much when entering corners. In many situations I can ignore the driving line and zoom through most yellows and even some reds, just by letting go of the gas for a bit or tapping the brakes a couple times.

That's for road racing. For dirt or off-road AWD is just plain better.
