There is no doubt whatsoever I am not a professional racer. I know from watching F1 that those guys can go faster at the end of a race only because the car is lighter from fuel burn.
100% or all racers want to "add lightness" and reduce weight for a reason. In the thread I started about 50 years difference Jack talks about how his old 911 is only a little slower that the 918 or new GT2s and GT3s. It is only because in the corners at that track he can maintain a higher speed and not have to slow down so much. He was cornering faster than a 918 with every modern gizmo possible and nearly three times the HP.
So yea, if there was a magic potion I could put on my car to lose several hundred pounds and not change the comfort level, I would do it. I might rub some of that potion on me first.
