AWD is typically easier to run around a track as it will cover up more of your mistakes. An Evo/STI/GT-R/insertawdcar will make a poor driver look really, really good. I'm not commenting on your driving here either -- you might be a good driver, just not used to RWD. In the hands of a professional driver things will be much more even, though -- hence, the Stig.
