Funny you should say that.
One of the biggest beefs among other Indy drivers is her weight, (less than 100lbs), Indy rules mandate a minimum car weight excluding the driver which gives her an average weight advantage of about 60 to 75 lbs.
The experts claim that such a weight advantage with all things being equal would result in 1/40th of a second gain per lap.
I know it doesn't sound like much but in a 250 lap race, it translates into a pretty hefty handicap for heavier drivers.
