Should offset the additional weight of the carbon fibre wrap elsewhere on the car nicely...

LOl +1 can't stand fake carbon wrap... it's a NO go.

Your rear wing is not inline with the rear wing edge?
Too much power is barely enough.

Oh dear this car is looking like it crashed into Halfords. Maybe that's what happened when he had his helmet on with the visor down.

Hi

The investigation carried out will now last the vehicle total weight revealed
Official 1400 kg or 3086.5 lbs.

This value is rounded up and the scale shows only even numbers on.

It is only in 1360, 1380, 1400kg and the R8 is about 1388 kg / 3060 lbs.

The R8 was relieved to 250 kg or 551 lbs. :biggrin3:
