each to their own....I learned racing in an underpowered front drive car rather than an overpowered rear drive car....and I reckon it taught me to get the most out of the available performance.
Until you get to overpowered cars where they can't get traction, there is little to no advantage in rwd or even 4wd. most controlled race categories apply power limits so fwd is no big deal. look at btcc, fwd finishes ahead of rwd 90% of the time.
In any case, it is all moot if some times were wet and some times were dry (or even if everything was in the wet). Wet track is a very small part of the time in Oz and requires totally different setup - so publishing wet results was somewhere between brave and meaningless.
