“ It is only when you accelerate out of the way that there is a noticeable power oversteer, which can, however, be reduced through the targeted use of traction control.”

So there it is in plain text from the driver himself. This is where the AWD will be quicker. Power oversteer or TC intervention mean that you don’t get all those 510hp moving you forward. The AWD car will instead of sliding the rears or reducing the RW power via TC move some power to the front wheels using all 4 wheels traction area instead of only 2. More acceleration, more of the time.

How much difference? On this particular track? Hard to say.
