So rider weight isn't a factor?
In kart racing, immediately after the race you go right to the scales and need to make the minimum weight - kart, driver, fuel - everything.
We needed to fill the frame tubes and bolt lead weights in numerous locations to make weight. Having a light driver and being able to choose where you want the weight (to improve handling) can be an advantage.
As usual - lighter is better!
