it doesnt factor grip, or lack of grip into any equation. its pure speculation and a waste of time tbh.

i was basing that on when i had my 1.6 weighted i was 950kg and had full interior, (front buckets) with a/c removed


now i have no interior, no sound deadening, no carpet etc

though added rollcage (4 point)

my engines/box is lighter than yours, maybe 900kg more acurate?
