Just a quick question

Does a fwd car have better cornering than a rwd car?
Not including drifting


Thanks

typically speaking... FWD cars can enter a corner faster because of inherit understeer during entry... but the same understeer also limits acceleration out of the corner. A rwd car on the other hand is almost opposite... because of snap oversteer, corner entry speed can't be too fast... but that oversteer allows you to accelerate through a corner. On a short track with tight corners, RWD is a bit better. On a circuit track, it's a toss up.
