Honda does make two rear wheel drive cars, the S2000 and the NSX. As Honura was saying FWD is primarily about driving in bad weather. It puts the weight of the engine over the drive wheels so there's more traction. Also FWD cars have more of a tendency to understeer because of the amount of weight put front. Understeer is when the car doesn't turn as much as you would like it to. Oversteer is the opposite, the car turns more than you want it to. Understeer is usually the safer of the two ways to lose control because the car will just go in a semi straight line so you at least you know where you're going to end up. Oversteer you pretty much don't know where you're going to end up.

Oversteer and understeer is dependent on a lot of things besides FWD/RWD like weight balance and suspension stiffness, and how the car is driven. Surprisingly, Corvettes have understeer tendencies, not oversteer tendencies. I would say RWD's primary advantage in racing is getting off the line and out of corners because when you mash the gas the car tends to nose up, transferring weight to the rear and adding traction to the drive wheels. Besides that I don't think there are that many advantages to RWD over FWD.
