Weight is only an issue on "some" (most) tracks though. Something like the nurburgring that's a high speed high downforce track actually benefits from a heavy ass car since it provides more grip. It's why f1 cars literally double their weight with downforce, so that they can turn essentially 90 degree turns at 100+ mph. Take a gt3rs, on the high speed sections you can literally see the car flattening itself and almost scraping on the track due to the downforce (you can look up pics), sadly I don't have exact values for the amount of downforce they produce buy porsche says its 900 lbs at 124 and 1900 at 177 mph... so yeah that's turning into a 5k lbs car regularly on the nurburgring.
