I think Audi went with AWD because they wanted AWD-0--they assumed it would be an advantage on most tracks, and weren't expecting to be beat out of so many slow corners.
When the R18 was designed the only opponent was Peugeot, whose Hybrid was also AWD. I am not sure if it was also easier to balance the car with the front wheels carrying the extra motors as opposed to the rear, but if Toyota could do it I have to think Audi could have also. I f I were not busy and lazy i would look up some real info but for now---I don't recall anything but AWD being a factor. |
