How heavy is a formula one car?

In: Auto Racing, Formula One [Edit categories]

Answer:

The minumum weight limit is 620kgs.

Changed to 640 kilograms including the driver in 2011 because of that FIA wants the teams to use KERS. The car in original version usually doesn't meet the requirements but the cars are aloud to be filled with ballast.
