As with all these things you can find a compromise that works well for a trackday car, sure it might be a little out when you have differing passenger sizes or with different fuel loads but still better than not having it done at all (and arguably no different to a race car where your corner weighting is compromised on fuel load between beginning and end of a race \ fuel stint).
As an example Plans did my Noble with 40kg in the passenger seat as it was a halfway house between passenger and none, in a car as heavy as a road going M3 the weight of the drivers clothes is neither here nor there!
PS. Fuel is approx 0.75 kg per litre  |
Nathan this is my point, there is no such thing as a compromise corner weight - its all compromise as its a dynamic. If that dynamic is minimised then corner weighting has a positive effect but this positive effect is minimised for each change in that dynamic.
Think of it this way, if you're 2 feet from the dartboard you're accuracy is pretty good, paying for glasses so you can see the board better makes sense. If you're 40 feet from the board being able to see a bit better isn't like to make much difference!
