Reading the “race spec” version again my main thought is what is the actual point ?
Removing all of the bits mentioned couldn’t amount to much more than 15-20kg surely ?
If true it seems a very poor attempt if I’m honest.
The only real sensible reasoning for the two models would be the £40K barrier as mentioned previously.
It also harks back to the removal of the rear wash wipe in the GP1 to save 2kgs in weight but then they put two 25kg Recaros in the front.

I don’t know what a pair of MINI JCW Seats weigh but surely one of the first, and easiest things to do to create a more “race spec” car, would be to put two reclining bucket seats up front to save a decent amount of dead weight.
