The new mowing thing I had ordered was to arrive yesterday so today was marked for creativity with green.
Alas not so and not today either  :-X
Thus had some time on my hand.

Looked up ´weight reduction´ on Spyderchat.
Surprising gems on there, a shining one from only a year ago:
´I had the inside front wheel lift through the corner once so would definitely not want lighter wheels´. went uncontended.

A difficult one seems to be cornering speed. The concensus is that a lighter car has less weight so less grip...
Tire load sensitivity did not pop up.

To top it off Colin Chapman´s attributed wisdom that power only adds speed under acceleration and lightness adds it everywhere was ´debunked´.

Right, almost time to go cycling again; project Covid-belly  :-[
