Imagine what they could do if they were RWD.

Maximum acceleration comes from between 5% and 10% tire slip.  Since this 
means you have exceeded 100% traction, you really have nothing left for side 
traction.  Now, since, ideally, you start accelerating just before the apex, 
FWD and ideal acceleration out of a corner don't mix well.

Sorry, David, you need to beat them in some other way.  Maybe your 
competition has a hotrod Mini like Peter's?

Suzuka F1 race is on Speed Channel starting right now.

Now if you would just explain that to the Mini drivers for me.... They
don't seem to have read that bit.
