I have searched and I am confused

I have a mid engined single seater. What should the front to rear split be on the weights?

Corner weighting won't effect the front/rear split or the left/right split. Only moving components (ie. battery) or adding ballast will do that. Corner weighting alters the crossweights.

Ideally you have 50/50 left/right split either naturally (given its a single seater)or by adding ballast and then by altering the corner weights to get the left/right fronts equal and the l/r rears equal.

ps. thats the short version.

Email me and I'll send you some spreadsheets explaining corner weighting and how to calculate it. Will take a week as I am working away from home just now.
