How much weight has that saved so far?!

 

[Phoenixboy]

it always amused me over the years how much time effort and money people would spend to shave some weight off there bike or car, but did not consider that the vast amount of money they had just spent could easily have been achieved by loosing a few pounds themselves :wink:

Remember, Vanne - Adrian Newey just told Cosworth to make the clear lacquer on the plenum of their new V12 an optional extra because it weighs 80grams. Keep fighting. :evil:

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

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..
