the awd/rwd benefits also depend a lot on the course/car setup. in a course with a lot of tight hairpins, the ability of an awd system to put torque to the asphalt with all 4 wheels in first gear is a considerable advantage if the other car has to go partial throttle to avoid wheelspin. you mention weight... this is a good point, especially with rwd indy/f1 cars. you give a 1500 pound car massive contact patches and put the center of gravity below the axles and traction isn't as much of an issue as with a much taller car that weighs 1000 pounds more and rides on thinner rubber.
basically, i'd like to see the stig throw out a power lap in each car back to back. i think it will be a fairly close match.
