Yes, those 6 wheelers dominated the championship. Oh wait...

True, but only because they were banned before the big teams developed their own cars (not just their testing prototypes) and they never really had the sophisticated tech at the time to get the most out of the idea. (Not to mention looking ridiculous).

But, the main point is 4WD (if 4 at the back), more rubber in contact with the road, more grip, and two extra discs, more braking.

You could also do clever things with the diff to get them to turn in faster also, especially if you add in traction control, active suspension and more modern technology, it could definitely be an advantage.

Heck, 8 wheels would be even better.
