If you had full weight when the 2'18" was done and have the same power now (and the weather conditions,tyres are similar). Then I'd reckon losing 165kg would save you at least 5 seconds.
This is based on me digging deep with technical equations, geometry calculations, power to weight and weight distribution analysis i.e. realistically spending the last 2hrs on Gran Turismo 5 trying different cars on different tracks to see what lightening the cars would do on there :laugh:
The things I do for you guys just to answer a post eh! :drinking:

Thanks for clarifying Hedge, english is not my native language :) Hurdy, If so at 2'13'' the car would be really fast as the fastest I've seen on that track from track only cars with 400HP and 1200kg + slicks is about 2'05''-2'08'' !
