Weight removal

[vRSgone]

'Zwingen',  i think is the term, but someone with some German might know if that is the correct term.

 

On sundays BTCC live they discussed the Success Ballast, and i know they are race cars, with more power and less weight.

They are Lighter & More Powerful.

Yet the drivers that had the Handicap weights which are now up to 63kg max in a Carbon Box where a Passenger Seat would be,

were on about the difference to braking and acceleration out of corners. 

ie Handling, Speed , Performance.

 

? Does anyone want a set of 25kg weights for free to put on the rear of their Fabia Monte Carlo or even a VW Polo to see what improvement to handling, braking, safety & economy it makes?

 

And you can have mine, also FOC -lucky winner to pay postage

@Mickmartin. @vRSgone posted just why removing the weights suited some.  He had a tuning box fitted and could handle a car as I found out when he took me for a spin near Preston.
