As for weight, this will mostly have an effect on acceleration. Heavier could cause increased frictional losses, but it there is enough time, weight won't directly affect the final speed. However, if you don't have enough acceleration, you won't reach the final speed in the match, because there isn't enough runway, so to speak.
