As for drag cars, they run narrow wheels up front for weight issues if RWD, and wide in the back for traction. All motorsports set up their cars different.

le mans cars dont have the budget??? dude... are you smoking crack? they're driving C5R's, RS6's, etc, etc, they have the budget to run whatever the fuck works best.
who stretches their tires for autox/track? i'd like to know who and see how stretched. running narrow wheels up front.. no shit, that has nothing to do with stretching tires. they run wide rims and tires in the back for traction... guess what, no stretching. according to vik tho, the wider the wheel, the better, no matter what, so why dont they run 35" wide tires with tires stretched like whoa across them? oh wait, thats cuz stretched tires don't handle/grip as well.
