In my day...we simply called it "driving like a jackass." Small, standard transmissioned pick-up trucks worked the best.

OK, here we go.
FWD - set up to be safer for poor drivers (lift off, tuck in), and ultimately slower (too much weight, not enough traction) - note that every competitive formula UNLESS mandated as front wheel drive/production is rear while drive.
BTCC - rear wheel drive carrie a penalty, 4WD carries and even greater one (hence Audi's withdrawl).
RWD - allows for better control of the vehicle (and removes the problem with the circle of forces on the front wheels) - notice that even high performance 4WD are biaised to the rear.
Drifting - demonstrates throttle control - not the fastest way around the corner, but the most showman like. You can do it in an auto, but the direct drive of manual gives better control.
And yes, when I was a lad, it was called arsing a round. :-)

Drifting in a RWD car isn't anything special. Doing it in a FWD takes real skill...

I love rwd. I have an old cop car, smallblock v8 rwd. And best of all, it runs on natural gas, not gasoline. Used to be 63 cents per gallon in 07/08. Now it's 1.27. Used to deliver pizzas and save on gas
