You say;

"Hang on here, I am confused... or someone is.....

I assume you are racing.

I also assume that you are racing against people who have the identical minimum weight.

I also assume that you are mounting the lead you required (16kgs) on the seat to bring you UP to the minimum weight.

If my assumptions are correct, then in what way CAN you be a 'Lighter-Driver'?

The chassis CANNOT 'know' if the weight (mass) pushing through it's seat mounts and seat stays is made of lead or flesh.

Can it?"

The issue is not the total mass of the driver and lead but rather its vertical position, the higher it is positioned then the greater the weight transfer achieved thus allowing the kart to behave normally and lift the inner wheel, rather than with the driver and lead in the lower position it tends to remain flat and slide.
