But you are right, lighter car takes less power. Restrict the engines, kill some noise levels, but maintain current speed. But since we don't fall under EFRA rules I only see a performance benefit with the lower weight.
The car you drive is extremely light( no free advertizement). I teched one @ the GLC in Toledo. He said he added almost 50 grams to get 5 grams over.
I can understand if this rule change was pushed from the car manufactures; If so, I believe this should have been proposed to IFMAR not EFRA. Gotta get back to work.


Pass you soon...
