I’m intrigued too?

I’m assuming you track it? Would love to see a video

You'd think, right? I mean, you can't pose or show off a lightweight car. Imagine that "yeah baby, it used to weigh 1600kg but now it weighs 1300kg"... she'd be like "sooooo.....?!"

Hi

Why do you reduce the weight of a body? This shortens the time during the transition from a to b.

When power is increased, the time decreases again.

Hi

The next lightweight will be used.
Instead of the aluminum cover now a part made of carbon. The original cover weighs 2.1 kg, the part of the GT 1.2 kg and the carbon only 0.62 kg.
I had used the part of the GT.

So you've done all of this for 'drag racing'?! A to B in a straight line... there are better places to start for a drag car...

Hi

And the next ease.



Tom

It would be good to see a running total of weight reduction in your posts, the last I see is your car weighs 1330KG

Hi

See on page 27 there are 1320 Kg.

All measures since this weighing together are about -11kg.

With this cover made of carbon it should soon be -12 kg.




Tom

Hi


The next carbon cover is ready.
Weight series 1.070 kg and the part made of carbon 0.67 kg.



Tom

Hi

Carbon part is installed



Tom

Well done Tom

Hi

And again a little more lightness.

The carbon side skirts from German Rush are used.
I think the parts will be present in 14 days.
Thanks to Loui from German Rush for delivery to Germany.

Tom

So - do you not do trackdays in this car?
