Golf GTD Mk7
I thought the mk2 racers were about 860kg with cage etc. Plus driver?

Search for it, it's been posted before. 172 cups are over 1000kgs, 1040 iirc. cup racers were never that light. mk1's were the lightest
good god no, you're way under for all of those, especially the mk3!
Got a copy of the CUp brochures and the Mk 3 is 1070kg the others are there about give or take 10kgs......so not miles off at all.
That's probably about right
The 172 cup is 1021kg - I've removed about 80kg from mine (and there's nothing left in it except a seat and dashboard) but then the cage add's weight back in - and the wheels aren't light
You'd be struggling to get a 172 lower than 950ish

The mk 3 cup is never that light. The standard one is 1240, and even the gordini weighs in at 1204kgs.

Yep very true, I weighed everything that came out of my car and I weighed 150kgs. It's still not under 900 kgs so Renault must have lied with the original weight figures
TrackCar & F30 330d
My 182 track car weighs 800-820kg could be one of the lightest 182's (and I have a 38kg cage welded in)

Cup brochure states 1070 as this is with fuel as i have a copy here in front of me.

So 1021 - 150kg = under 900kgs........your maths dont add up plus the cup cacer has no dash just a piece of folded plastic. Cup cars dont even have FG boot or ponet / windows etc. sub 900 is very achieveable i believe for a 172 CUP.

In the brochure for the mk2 cup racer Renault listed the weight as approximately 900kg.
182cup & 172 racecar
Ours was about 850kg when first weighed at Snetterton with 1/4 tank of fuel,some bit's have been added now,but not much.

That is for a mk3 cup Racer. Got no dispute with that. However I was stating a road mk3 cup

There is only 2 seats and a steering wheel in my car, no dash no nothing else. No cage, fibre bonnet. All I was saying it's still heavier than a mk1 stripped out weighing around 850. I just think 1021 was a bit keen.
182cup & 172 racecar
Shave some of that fluff of your chin old boy,few kg's there.
182cup & 172 racecar
And sack.
Clio 172 cup
I managed to shave nearly 10kg from my 172 cup by simply removing all the sh1t the girlfriend leaves in the car after a few weeks
Crikey that's impressive with the cage too
I have no idea how much I removed from mine - I know i must be 80-120kg of crap came out
Like I say though the 2118's weigh a ton
