Weight savings - to the limit!

While reading a history of the Formula 3 Kieft, I came across this about the works driver.
"Don Perker was over 40 before he even saw a racing car and was 44 when he became Kieft’s works driver. He was built like a jockey; he had a lot of aggression and was a fine engineer who honed his cars to the limit; he even raced without underwear or socks to save weight."
