I see that you both understand the physics behind vehicle dynamics, and know how to drive. If you listen to the RPM during formula one races, you will hear that those drivers almost never go constant speed in corners. They brake deeply into the corners, and accelerate hard from the apex. That is usually the fastest line.

You are right about AWD cars having an advantage when it comes to exit speeds out of tight (slow) corners. This is particularly noticeable on snow and ice. In rainy conditions, it has to be very tight corners (roundabouts as you mention) to make a difference, at least if the RWD and AWD cars have tires that work well in the rain.

With the fake LSD acting as torque vectoring, you can go surprisingly early on the throttle even with RWD. This causes a load transfer to the rear tires, allowing you to put quite a lot of power down.
