Many cars in the past used to have motor behind front axle, even racing ones. Only reason why current full scale TCR use FF layout is, because they are based on mass produced cars. If someone build FWD racing prototype, it'd have MF layout, too. Something like Nismo LM prototype, which was FWD when it had deactivated KERS.

A lot of action happend yesterday in Europa after this announcement from ETS.
As they (ETS orga) also state in the Facebook post, i especially talked personally with them in February about this and it was no problem to do this. I even showed pictures....
Anyway, we can not change this decision of them by now.
Some drivers of the series already responsed in many forums and under many posts what they think about this.
What i can say after all the action in social media by yesterday, many racing series in Europe do NOT FOLLOW this rule !
There were several racing series who pointed this out yesterday and released the rules for the FWD class in their own series.
"we will not be restricting or limiting chassis layout of the cars at all. As long as the car only drives the front wheels, and the overall dimensions are met, then you're absolutely welcome to join us in the FWD class"

ETS gave Awesomatix the biggest compliment available in the industry. It's a real piss off at the same time but maybe there will be an "ETS" conversion and AMX will still kick everyone's ass.

I plan to run one, since the ETS is the only series that will be not allowing it, which is unfortunate, the rest of us can enjoy racing with it. :-)

They just might have to if the ETS "rules" become more widespread.
I'm more concerned with the Awesomatix F1 car.

Just curious...... which of the ETS sponsors also make a FWD car?

ETS Rulebook update; Sedan class: Suspension must consist of round spring and conventional shocks. No leaf springs or cylinder dampers allowed to maintain the spirit of racing fun and funding from sponsorship's. It's blindingly obvious that this FWD rule has been imposed due to ETS sponsors crying foul because they don't want to see leaderboards that look like this anymore

Hmm... maybe just allow one brand of car with all running the same electronics fixed timing and gearing and setup to make it fair all the way around ,then you will have an absolute equal field with no one at an advantage . But this would become a boring hobby , Just my two cents!
