Hi All,
Newby here with first question.
Dallara F301 what do you use for adding weight to the car and where / how do you fit?
Cheers,
Colin

Eat more chocolate cake? It's a fine Mono tradition.

Lead (either as a lump or as lead shot in a resin so you can cast a shape).
Between the tub and vee/keel thing under the driver's knees (not inside the cockpit!!), but ultimately reaching minimum weight (not being disqualified) more important than weight distribution.

Re: ADDING BALLAST
depends on how much weight you need
run more fuel if you need only 2-4 kg
If you are looking at 5-10 kg you will need to look at bolting in lead to the main chassis
are you running at 40 mm ride height?
could replace the wooden floor with steel sheet onto the carbon floor
similar concept applies with FFord cars some have alloy sheet some have fitted steel plate as car is too light
