I'm trying to get my TRF201 to work on the outdoor clay track that we run locally and I was wondering if you could share a little bit more about how you go about using weights to tune your car - e.g. when to put weight where and why...

Would go a long way in helping me get some better laptimes.

Thanks.
Weights, recently i have been putting weights in and around the rear gear box, this has helps to increase rear traction quite a lot.
normally i use weights to stop the car grip rolling, settle it through bumps or to stop wheeling..... on dirt i normally run a light car with the weight (apprx 30g) under the rear U plate and in front of gear box, and also a small amount up front. (20-30) to stop wheeling.
