My view is that the 30hp difference cannot overcome the heavier weight on track, especially in a competition environment where one has to maintain performance lap after lap. There is a reason why Porsche uses RWD on the GT2RS.

The answer to having RWD in the Porsche GT cars is race series restrictions. AWD is banned in most of them mainly for making the cars to dominant. The advantage of exiting every corner faster can’t be closed with moderate weight penalties. And in the case of the G8X you also add extra power to that equation and it should be game over for the RWD car. And if that isn’t enough in your case electing MT you deal with higher losses in every full throttle upshift.
