From what I remember of last year, it's a very beginner-friendly rally. I wouldn't necessarily take the Ferrari out, but a normal car shouldn't have any issues. Of course, in the end it's always up to the driver - there will be plenty enough gravel portions, and caution and sanity should be exercised as always. :)

The event is not a race by any stretch, and speeds are quite moderate (always under the speed limit, so you may well be going slower then locals most of the time).
AWD will probably be easier to drive. Opinions will likely differ as to the RWD preference :). Remember though, ultimately, this kind of navigational rally will tax the navigator much, much more then the driver. We just have to be not too stupid, while the bright guys in the right seat figure out all the puzzles :)

Well, straight's aren't that much fun... I'm sure there'll be plenty, but we tend to erase those from our minds :)
