now in true road racing you would be doing neither of these. for example, if you just had a car like an Audi A4 and jumped into the start of the nurbergring and started driving with cars in front and behind you, I am sure it would be quite a mental challenge for you to decide and be right each time about the drive wheels set-up --- that's what I mean by my comment above.

Ahhh so are you implying the only valid measure of a car's potential is on the track in competition? Surely you must be on the SPEED channel, what series should I look for you in, and more importantly what FWD car are you campaigning?
Honestly, less than 1% of us here are professionals, to make (
IMO) a lame@ss argument that driving on the street will not enable a non-professional driver to tell the difference between FF (
Front-engine Front-wheel Drive), FR (
Front-engine Rear-wheel Drive), and AWD (
All Wheel Drive) is pure bunk.
You don't have to drive a car 10/10ths, or h#ll even drive it on a track to be able to thoroughly appreciate the not-so-subtle differences between the 3 (
technically 5 commonly available) drivetrain layouts. You can do this on the streets on your every day commute (
although I don't recommend breaking any applicable traffic laws/ordinances in the process).
