There are already clubs that have 1.100 grams as minimum weight. Than that car would be 185 grams too heavy.

The car is awesome. But can all of that add up against the extra weight it carries. IMHO I think not.
weight is not really a problem. Our nationals weight limit is 1200 grams. My car weighs 1230 grams and other cars are similar weight. The weight limit of the pro10 class at my club is 1100grams.

I, and other drivers that run in the nationals run with 1230 grams in our club pro10 class. There is no difference in speed or handling in the corners between the 1100 gram cars or 1200 gram cars. At least i really don't see it when driving my car.
