The weight is very important in rallying. The rules are firm and the minimum weight is 1230 kg. If the car is lighter then that we will get excluded from the event.

At the same time, during a rally mud and snow can add an extra 100 kg on the car. If you then think that each 10 kg will add 0,01 sek pr/km on a stage we had better to keep the car clean.

My team always try and make the car as light as possible. I.e. 1100 kg. Then we have 130 kg we can place where we want. We use a lot of light weight material such as kevlar, titanium, aluminium a.s.o.
