If the car feels good on the rest of the track and only lifts it's nose on the straight then just catch it with the throttle. That and your rear wing looks massive on your avatar but you've already come up with that yourself.

1.3kg is about 400g lighter than an X6 in full trim. Sometimes adding weight can make a car more settled on bumpy stuff and keep it on the ground better too.

I never liked the approach of adding weight to cars. But then when I started racing we used to drill the crap out of everything to get it as light as possible to get the batteries to last. Making a car heavy just doesn't seem right
You don't see F1 cars with anvils tied to them to get the handling right
