Why AWD Matters for Launch in Forza Horizon 6

All-Wheel Drive distributes power to all four wheels, providing maximum traction. For launch, AWD cars often have an advantage in real-world conditions where grip matters — wet roads, dirt, and mixed surfaces. The trade-off is typically more weight and slight understeer.
