Is that what Grand Turismo said?

I haven't quiet gotten through the whole thing. But I didn't see that about suspension, although it does mention suspension's play in handling. It even mentions the disadvantages of swing axel suspension on rear engine cars over newer suspension designs on rear engine cars.
But it talks mostly about weight placement. It has a section on each drive type:
Front engine/front wheel drive "FF"
Front engine/rear wheel drive "FR"
Mid-engine/rear wheel drive "MR"
Rear engine/rear wheel drive "RR"
And Four-wheel drive, which it calls "FWD".
It also has many other sections from acceleration to breaking to corner entering and corner exiting. You know, the stuff you'd need to know to play a race simulation game.
