I see someone's never played any of the gran turismo series.
with the clutch disengaged the flywheel becomes one of the heaviest component that an engine must accelerate (the others being the crank and the combined weight of the 4 pistons), reduce it's weight and you reduce the speed at which the engine will rev up
the downside to this is that it also revs down quicker as well, which requires more finesse in engaging the clutch
