Thats what I was wondering, reason is my car has about the same difference at the front and I was going to alter it. If its the same as dans maybe I should leave mine alone?

(LF+RR)/Total should equal 50%

Sorry ali missed that totally. I thought it needed done, when I was out wi Scotty last week he noticed my front wheel was coming off the ground in a few of the corners, something that shouldnt be happening, at least not on the roads anyway

I think around the 725kg mark. I know my 2000 S1 was 791 pre race trim, its now 751 race prep'd.

My 1999 S1 135 Sport weighed in at 747kgs last month. Half tank of fuel, cat, and about 7kgs of sundries in the car. Also harnesses and harness bar (but without driver).
I think it would weigh in at about 740kgs without the harnesses (add back seat belts) and no junk

No idea what mine is, think we should get some weigh bridge action on the go!

Factor in the 40kgs of dirt on the clams and your cars not bad

at the start of the race , car and driver are over 900kg

It would be a better formula if the weights including driver - could be closer too (I aint light at 83kgs)

Could you not remove a few things and get that down? say boot, bonnet and boot mech etc
