Was thinking today (doesn't happen often lol) that the biggest problem with the R's handling is its to front heavy so those people going to all the trouble of removing loads of weight could be actually making this problem even worse :shock: as most of the weight they will be removing will be from the middle to rear of the car so increasing the front/rear weight bias even further
But by using the weight you've removed through out the car and adding it to the rear of the car you could balance it out nicely 8) which is what alot of race teams do they build the cars lighter than the regs where possible and bring the car back upto the correct weight by adding ballast to the correct area's to improve the cars balance and thus improve the handling 8)
Just a thought for those getting serious about sorting their R's properly
Bit more added lol as you can see from the weights below theres a huge difference between front and rear but if you could say lose 100kg from the car (alot I know) and then add it to the very back of the car the front/rear weight distribution starts looking much more favourable for a properly setup track car.
Although whether the better balance of the car would out weight the extra weight of the ballast remains to be seen though i'm quite sure its could be easily put to the test on track.
