4 wheel balance/weight?

Has anyone ( I am assuming hardcore racers do this) ever just weighed what each wheel of an FD is supporting? I mean, it is supposed to be a perfect 50/50 balance front to rear but...what about all 4 tires? Is there about 700 pounds on each corner?

I was just looking at how well the car seems to maintain symmetry. I mean the fuel tank is offset by the spare and exhaust. The battery weight is offset by the turbos, etc.

One wonders if Mazda even pre-assumed the weight of a driver into the balance...?
