Too low weight limits tend to lead to substantial investments in chassis design, therefore higher costs. Higher weight limits would also tend to allow privateers to compete on more equal footing IMO. I agree however that it's a bit disappointing to note that the weight limits have been increased again.

Weight limits that are closer to 900-1000kg are also more "relevant" to actual production cars. Would a 500-600kg chassis be more relevant ?
