If my car would be track only I´da have the hardtop fitted rigedly, softtop out.
Car way low on ultra lightweigt rims, plastic windows all round, weight 850 kg. max.
Maybe even go the AdamR28 option; delete the windscreen, skin it all.

On road, minimal lowering, minimal bracing, softtop/hardtop/tonneau.




My car is 960kg, and I struggle to see where I could lose 100kg without getting to silly money. There is nothing left to strip or easily replace with a significantly lighter part.

Admittedly, with the full cage & fire extinguisher (unavoidable parts - I have to have these), accusump, flat floor and diffuser, I've added about 70kg back into the car.
