Adding ballast

Understood. That is what I thought as well. I watched a great video on similar topic on K1 channel. More weight=more grip until the point where it is just too much weight and tyres can´t handle it no more.

My case isn´t so similar as it is not just me putting on weight now and getting used to it for years to follow, it is a sudden weight addition that could potentially throw me out of my rhythm and request a change in my driving style for the upcoming 2 months.

So all in all, it is something I need to just get used to, you reckon?
