Infact, I would have said the opposite at the Drop-Inn track which seems to have 2WD cars with just an on/off throttle switch, whereas all the 4WD guys are throttling back an d forward to keep the traction.
Anyways, you;ve given me food for thought.

I'd say that's the novice heat you're thinking of, where they bounce their B4s off the walls!
2wd is all about steering with the throttle. Too fast into the corner, and the nose pushes, brake too hard, the rear slides and you spin. It's like riding the razor's edge at times, especially in low grip - driving a 2wd in Fivemiletown, for example, is a massive challenge. In Craigavon, though, there's enough grip that the good drivers are nearly as quick with their 2wds as their 4wds.
One last thing about 2wds - much less drivetrain maintenance! One diff, no belts....bliss!
