Ron, I believe those weights are the official recorded weights of the cars as entered for LeMans.
They obviously did change as the cars evolved, and as spoilers etc were added for different circuits.
The Ludvigsen book was first published in 1970, so I would guess the figures had a good chance of being correct (less time for them to be 'manipulated'. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
