It's so heavy that Neil Cragg won the 2013 offroad nationals with it

Most manufacturers are adding weight in the form of aluminium chassis' or brass suspension parts to improve the performance of their cars, so I don't think the weight is holding the car back. What is the car doing that makes you think lowering the weight would help?
