If they run at 85mm and at 90kg over the min weight, the weight is easy to measure but how can anyone be sure they’re not running under the new 85mm height their sliding scale would allow?

If they’ve been told they can run higher and lose weight, their minimum height is not as straight forward as everyone else’s.

So... The Scooby specific COG penalty has nothing to do with overall weight of the car. A weight is added to a specific location on the bulkhead which is changed up or down based on ride height. This is to compensate for the extra weight in a specific location that the non-boxer engine'd cars have due to the weight of the cylinder head.
