Are there other benefits to the current car plus driver? It is just one rule (that can be broken leading to disqualification), whereas you'd have two rules car minimum and driver minimum weight. Shouldn't make a difference, but it might have save a few?
Quite like the idea.

Good thinking to avoid the lead bum implants!
Stipulate exactly where on the wheel base the weights have to be carried, next to the driver, and a height above the floor for the ballast centre of mass, to make the size of the driver of as little importance as possible.
Hope Button and the GPDA get this legislation up as soon as possible, hopefully before next year!
