I’m not sure losing 100kg is very healthy for most drivers.

Although I have been known to have a big s**t before a track day, and go ou on no more than half a tank of fuel :P

I agree, and its probably more relevant to the bike world, where people fit numerous lightweight parts to shave a small amount of weight :wink:

Yeah, agreed. It does amuse me though on YT shows like TheSmokingTire, where the host and the car owner will probably add a good 1/4 of the weight to some of the cars. Then they wonder why something feels underpowered..
