Slicks get so much more grip when the have been heated a couple of laps that I can't see a 100 kg (220lbm) load being worth it. The Toyota is lighter, more compact in all dimensions. Less frontal area, less weight, less losses equal a faster more fuel efficient car. Just my $.02
You meant Glenn. I'm reading from the same music as you, but get Adam's point.
