Putting fuel in the gas tank does affect handling. 1/2 empty tanks are worse still particularly doing Gymkhana where fuel starvation and over rich chew up precious seconds not to also mention having weight transfer to the outside during tight fast turns.

If you don't notice the effect, you're not close enough to the edge and aren't competitive even in beginners class.

Back in the day, I ran an 1156 lightbulb on a stainless CB radio whip antenna and broke the bulb contacting the pavement on a really tight fast turn.
