1) The minimum weight requirement is actually something I care about and in my opinion makes it feel like I am less competitive. In my opinion you should be increasing the min weight, not decreasing. Something I struggle to understand is why you would want parity with ROAR instead of distinction (specifically around weight).
2) The approved body list is quite large in my opinion. I feel like there is a great selection to choose between, however I find myself limited due to weight requirements. I would be much more likely to choose heavier bodies if I didn't feel like it was such a stretch to keep my weight down.
While I understand the other posters in this thread stating that the best drivers will always rise to the top. My response to that is I am trying to have fun and be competitive at the same time... I don't want to feel like I'm giving up the fun part to be competitive.
1) I like the new lower weights. It means I can run the same chassis in multiple classes just by switching from the USGT body and tires. No more messing around with strip after strip of weights too- ugh!
It means less wear and tear on the tires too, especially on asphalt.
2) Valid point but my cars are underweight regardless of bodies so a few bricks of lead are added when running lighter bodies so it really becomes a matter of where do you want to add weight- the chassis or the body?
