FWD cars compete VERY well on a Gymkhana course with a good driver, Ghymkhana isn't drifting necessarily. ghymkhana is more like a super tight auto-x course where sliding the car in some places really is the fastest way around (like having to circle a single cone 2x before proceeding with the rest of the course).
