This info is mainly for autocrossers, so bear with me. Here are some figures I have been playing with, since I am an autocrosser with a Kawi car.
750 lbs/ 75hp (Kawi)= 10 lbs/hp 1000 lbs/115hp (solo vee)= 8.7 lbs/hp 800 lbs/95 hp (rotax) = 8.4 lbs/hp 1000 lbs/ 123 hp (local guys solo vee)=8.1 lbs/hp So now, for a rotax car to have my lb/hp ratio, it would have to weigh 950lbs? Scca allows the Kawi powered cars to weigh 50lbs less than a Rotax car. To have parity, My car with driver would need to weigh 637 lbs. Since I weigh 200, that would be a 437 lb red devil. Am I missing something here folks? If this is all true and accurate, then I feel good about getting my ass kicked constantly by Rotaxes and solo vees.
