Think there is a display error on the cars page for weight - it was displaying correctly but now it is showing my car to be 792.953kg when it is actually 782.12kg

Have you just done a run? You may still have fuel in the car

You think 782kgs is a light car? My current car weighs it at 735kgs without fuel on board, and next season's is lighter on every part. And looking at design figures, and potential of the chassis, I could drop that by another 30kgs I think. I'm pretty sure a 700kg car before fuel is possible. That also depends on the mechanics too, they have a habit of adding lead to all designs I make.

Well, long term a 600kg car should be possible!!

My car I think will be heavier next season but I am not to concerned by weight at the moment as I expected the first two season to be a drag a bit with all the needs of the team.

Sadly a light car can make way further progress then a well design heavy car!!
