Track mode: rear biased set up is better?

[wenkan]

Seems both of the two drivers did Model 3 on Nurburgring good set up track mode to rear biased.
Misha did 35:65

Vittel did 30:70

Considering the front and rear motors are obviously not the same (rear motor has more power). Can we guess that 50:50 is actually power limited compared to rear biased settings?

Also want to know what is the preferred compression/rebound setup for 30:70 split. I know MPP has some development setting for their RWD car:
F:9C/8R, R:6C/7R for technical tracks
F:5C/5R, R:4C/3R for high speed tracks.
While most of us AWD/Performance owners run 4 corners the same. What will be a reasonable starting point to find the rear biased setup for AWD coilovers?

50:50 has more power. And UPP was running 50:50 on Pikes Peak. But since this split only works when you turning (exiting turn) - it's about decreasing power during the turn on 1 axis and so changing over/under steer balance. Misha and Sebastian both driving stock setup and it understeers. So they limit the front power in turn to compensate for that.

If you preparing car, changing suspension settings - you might be able to put full power of front and rear without limiting them.

Suspension settings should be made according to your grip, speed, length of turns and expected bumpiness. Once you got best combination for conditions you might squeeze a bit more by limiting power on 1 axis, so that you can get more power on another axis without losing traction on the first one.

One day we should see Track Mode 3 that just does racing style traction control. All hardware for that is already installed. In that case it can dynamically limit power and learn best power limits by itself. Eventually since it can control power/braking on every wheel, sees environment around and has realtime sensors better than any human it will drive faster than Randy Pobst on any track - nothing we can do about it.

And theoretically later we can have suspension based on servomotors 6dof arms with motor inside each wheel so that car can position and control every wheel completely independent from anything that is going on - perfect grip and torque vectoring with total comfort.

No dampers, no sway bars, no fixed toe/camber/caster/kingpin, maybe some coils over arms to save power during standing.
