but would it be quicker to do a run with this light car with a crash/marshall versus a 'safe' car with a clean run... I guess thats up to the driver to decide
That's a good point, well put!

Would be an intersting study to find out the difference in performance between a weighted and unweighted car with same driver. Including time lost for driving errors
