I'm not an expert on the various types of steel available, but I would have thought that what was important was to use a material that was no thicker (and therefore heavier) than it needed to be. If 1.6 if thick enough, then that is the stuff to use, unless it isn't available, in which case use whatever is. If that was (for instance) 3mm then the chassis would obviously be a good deal heavier, but that's better than not building the car at all, much better.
