No.
Normally
* If a car weighs 1140 kg and has 270 bhp, this is 4.22 kg/bhp.
* If a car weighs 1200 kg (60 kg ballast) and has 270 bhp, this is 4.44 kg/bhp.
-> that is 0.22 kg/bhp extra
Because of the high altitude the engines produces say 20% less power
* If a car weighs 1140 kg and has 216 bhp, this is 5.27 kg/bhp.
* If a car weighs 1200 kg (60 kg ballast) and has 216 bhp, this is 5.55 kg/bhp.
-> that is 0.28 kg/bhp extra
So it is a bigger handicap.
