i reckon it will be a shade lighter, you've got the doors and front end that will weigh a fair bit less.

Dave, would certainly have been interesting to see what yours weighed. no weigh bridge at work?

I am made of carbon fibre and Fosters.

Yes 685KG...

Plus a 12kg back up battery and a 2kg ish helmet so 699kg in Avon park trim.

Others years i've taken out the passenger seat and front half of the cage but i could'nt be arsed this year, that would be another 18kg off.

So power to weight ratios..

MW...

1000 divided by 850KG(car/driver) X 224bhp = 263.53 bhp per tonne

JF...

1000/699 x 165bhp(last RR) = 236.05 bhp per tonne

So is it the final drive number again??

hmmm, Just had mine on the work weighbridge and it says my car is 790kg with me in it...

But i don't see a calibration certificate since th weighbridge was moved 15 months ago....
Guess these are like Rolling Roads; different readings depending on where you go!

I was on the lorries a few months back. I would weigh in the arctic at up to 42 tonnes, that is 42000kg!. I put my 306 on it and it was 1270 with boot full of beer and me. When i got out of the car the weight did drop by 100kg, approx my weight.

This was a modern new bridge.

So the power to weight ratio of my Scania was...

9.999 per tonne!!

Nice!!

Maybe if there is another RR day we should get a set of scales there too. I'd guess mine is around 560 (or at least I hope so) but it would be nice to know.
