There's where your poblem is... You don't want awd going into a corner, because it causes understeer. Plus, the jolt you'd get from engaging and disengaging the system in the middle of a turn would throw the cars off balance.

Plus, the added stuff to make it work would make the car heavier, and maybe be less balanced for racing. I thought you wanted it more for off road, where you'd stop and switch to awd for the tough parts...
