Current car weights

[Tony C]

I am interested to find out the weight of current cars. Will anyone volunteer the weight of their car? Please give a brief description of what it is ie: space frame RX7 with SR20 turbo etc

Preferrably without driver (dont want to influence the real weight of a car)

Thanks in advance

Tony

I take note no one has replied to this one!

The Donnelly Falcon EB would be approx 1185 with half a tank of fuel, less driver. Add myself and all my kit and it came in over the Eastern Creek scales at 1270kg's.

I think the lightest car I've heard of would be the ex-Gourlay Saab now run by Tony Cox, rumoured to have come in at 1160kg's with driver.
I'd also be interested to find out what some of the other cars in the field weigh.

Cheers, CD.

our calibra with driver but empty of fuel was 1202kgs

driver was about 75kgs

What's the goal weight for the new build Nick? I'm hoping our new build is at least 70kg's lighter that the red car.

goal weight is 975kg's chris, i dont think we will be too far away from that, we have made the chassis
a little heavy, but on purpose to get the strength
