    I know what it is in real life, but how does it work in Raceroom? Who gets it, and how much weight, how much of a difference does it make?
    I keep seeing the same white Citroens in front of me in every WTCC championship race I do against the AI. They are obviously faster than the other AIs. I want to weigh these busters down...

    Thanks a lot

    Success weights were implemented in DTM 2014 and DTM 2015 championships, where the podium cars had to carry additional weight in the following championship rounds. But I don't know whether it's implemented right now in custom championships.

    It's implemented as an option in custom championships. I got 10 kg for finishing third, and it didn't feel like it made any difference the next race.

    In F1, it is said that every additional 10kg of weight is worth on average 3/10ths of a second per lap, but I'd imagine that it's less influential in slower cars.
