And your lighter car should be able to run on a softer spring. Heavier car is putting more downward force on the suspension that the effect of the bumps needs to overcome, take away weight from the car and the bumps create a greater net compression force on the suspension. Inertia also comes in to play, a heavier car feels smoother and more settled anyway (but is slower around the track in theory).
