Of course is the S8 with manual gearbox a perfect car to drive on the race track with otherwise I wouldn't drive my RS8 on the race track all the time.
Unfortunately I have both sunroof and a towbar on my car, I have removed the rear seat and changed the front seats for easier race seats then I removed the mats, spare wheel and everything loose in the car. But I still have the stereo, double glazing and also twin turbo, twin intercoolers, big oil coolers and more. My weight with full fuel tank and me in the car is: Total: 1765kg Front: 1083kg Rear : 682kg I have a friend with A8 with sunroof but No towbar, he have 6spd manual gearbox and rear mounted turbo he have no stereo and have taken away more parts than me, he have this weight with full fuel tank but without him in the car: Total: 1591kg Front: 971kg Rear: 620kg .

And of course my RS6 V8 biturbo engine that helps me to have fun .

That's a excellent low weight for a RS4 S8
I'm jealous, I estimate my S8 (also manual) is at 1749kg with full tank but me not in the car! I bet you saved a lot of weight with racing front seats, just out of curiosity do you know the weight of your racing seats? I know the S8 standard Recaros weigh 34kg each which is a lot. Also I think the rear seats weigh 30kg so that's a lot you saved there too. Impressive!

RS4 ?
I think they were at around 10 kg each with mounting brackets The big thick floor mat weighs 12kg Now I just have a thin "speaker fabric" on the floor to cover all cables. .
