The article you linked says Porsche moved the engine forward to get better weight distribution and make room for a huge rear diffuser for better aero, because those things would make the RSR more competitive within the rules dictated by the class in which it races. It doesn't say that mid engined cars are inherently superior to rear engined cars.

Who cares if a car is "fighting physics"? There are all different kinds of cars out there and it's cool to see their potential maxed out even if there are drawbacks to their overall architecture.
