Why RWD Matters for Launch in Forza Horizon 6

Rear-Wheel Drive sends power exclusively to the back wheels, allowing for sharper rotation and typically lighter weight. For launch, RWD cars can excel on smooth circuits where traction isn't limited. The challenge is managing oversteer, especially in high-power builds.
