...so what they did is that they removed the headlamps, airbags, most of what’s left of the dash and the windows are a sheet of plastic, and there ya go.

So that means you can only run this car on fully-lit ovals and on hillclimbs, unless you can equip it with lighter headlamps for endurance running. Either way, lighter is better. I bet.
