I hear what you guys are saying about removing as much as possible. From my experience, the lightest car does not win championships. The most well balanced and consistent car does. And i am just as passionate as the next guy about weight reduction. But unless i see you out there winning contingency money with it, it doesn't mean much. It is just one of many aspects. It isn't rocket science. Once you are happy with your chassis stiffness/weight, you move on to the other areas that need attention. When i started working with World Racing on the super light AWD car, we were all excited for the debut. I flew all the way to Sebring just to support the car. The car sat all weekend due to electrical gremlins. They put alot of work into weight reduction, and spent tens of thousands on hauling a fully staffed crew and rig out there. It is a half a million dollar car! Kognition has two championships allready in the bag with two sponsored time attack teams this season. They are not the lightest nor the most powerful cars in their class. And certainly not the most well funded. They are the most balanced, and consistent cars in their class.
