StemS2k is almost correct in his description. It's not really "downforce", which I (at least) usually think of as an aerodynamic force on the car. What we are looking at is weight transfer, and its true for all cars, not just RWD. Its simple physics and is related to the fact that forces on a car interact at pavement level, but the center of gravity of all cars is above pavement level, no matter which axle is driven.
And yes, an HPDE event or auto-x would not only be educational, but a lot of fun too!
