RBR asking the right questions

PS: of course they are in a situation where every milliseconds they can gain, including by restricting their car's weight, is essential.

Is RB overweight? I can't imagine 6oz of paint instead of 6oz of weights at the floor is worth much time.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The position of the weight and its effect on the centre of gravity would affect time.

Then there is the effect of the paint on airflow to consider.
