AWD or RWD for the track?

I track once or twice a month and the M4 Comp will be potentially be primarily a track car. What is the general consensus with AWD vs RWD in this case?

Weight is probably a big factor for all of us, but does all that corner exit grip and more power make up for it?

The AWD only comes in the automatic. Honestly I love the DCT in the M3 CS. Will I be disappointed with the auto? I'm a full DCT convert however. I love manuals, I think they are great in the canyons, the level of engagement is undeniable, but on the track, the shift pedals just work imho. If it's good enough for F1 drivers, it's good enough for me. I just don't know if the G80 automatic is up to snuff.

I'm interested in everyone's feedback with the automatic transmission on the track, and if the AWD is a game changer or not.
