    IT won't... why should it? Then again... what do I know? I'm just a developer... not an F1 or FIA technician... Maybe they include tier weight, maybe they don't. I assume they do, because that's why they go off the line at the finish to pick up any extra clag that they can for weight purposes...

    Based on what I've read as well, I'm sure you are correct, which to me is silly.

    Picture a single frame cartoon with a teeny F1 car on a scale, and wrapped around the tires are hundreds of pounds of trash, Martin Brundle and his microphone, etc. Caption: "Weight looks good!"

    If I had any artistic ability of any kind, I would so create that cartoon... Well played...
