The layout of the drivewheels is pertinent in both circuit/road and drag. With drag, FR's of the same weight need lower whp than FF's, all other variables held constant. It's just a consequence of the weight-shift upon acceleration. With circuit, using the front tires to brake, accelerate and corner wears the tires more so than a car that uses the front tires to brake and corner only.
Still, a lot of touring cars are FF, look at Speedworld Challenge, there's plenty of RSX's, TSX's and Mazda6's. Rally is also a good playground for FF's, since stability is desired on surfaces with poor traction. FF is fine for moderate level racing, but once you get to the ultimate form, high hp, low weight racing, (Le Mans, F1, etc...) you will never see FF since the concept of FF was more out of a concern for safety and making sure non-skilled drivers won't spin out while leaving the lot with their new cars (exaggeration, but u sorta see my point)

I don't care about any pictures, I don't care about people's opinions. All I need, to know that you're a goth, is how adamantly you defend that you are not a goth. May I refer to a fantastic article entitled "What the **** is emo" by Chuck Werner...
What the **** is emo

So its your opinion. I'll stick with mine.
