....I found it interesting to note that Rupo's R32 spun the front wheels but not the rears on what is '4WD' and I bet he's running a Haldex switch. My point is that it illustrates how the R32 isn't a 'true' 4WD car but has the FWD bias.

When I saw Rupo go it looked to be spinning all 4 albeit fronts first but the rears definitely were lit up.

....My thinking is that if he reduced his launch revs and hence reduced spinning his front wheels, he would improve his times. Although not so dramatic to watch.

Something I noticed about JonnyC was just how smooooth his driving is and so how he was able to be much faster in my car. Wheelspinning loses time doesn't it?

....Sorry, but on the one launch I witnessed his fronts were waaaay ahead on spinning - I commented to someone at the time. Of course, each run is different and it may have been only the one I witnessed.

I saw a bit of both, on some runs he was spinning all 4 and on others more so the front two... Everything 4 wheel drive was murdering me off the line but I was able to pull it back once on the move, except for that tt with the big Porsche brakes, that just kept pulling away from me  :ashamed:
