My experience with these front heavy FWD-based setups (Audi, Golf R, etc) on track is that they will put decent lap times for a few laps, but then start to overtax the front tires and fall off. Also durability of front tires on track is a challenge.
RWD setups may not put as fast an initial lap time on a short track, but it will be more consistent later in a session and you will get a lot more front tire life on track.
Of all the AWD cars I have driven on track only the 911s seem to not overtax the front tires when pushed.
