and what is the benefits more than less weight?
From my experience running 17.5:
1. Lightweight body is still quite durable because it absorbs impact a bit better than the regular weight, but when clipped, it could tear more than the regular weight as well.
2. If someone hits the lightweight body, it has a lot higher chance of getting a body-tuck, which could cost a few laps.
3. Less weight, which makes the center of gravity lower overall. Also makes the car roll less.
