Fuel saving strategies GT3
Hi,
With 12 hours of Sebring coming up maybe this is a good topic.
I recently started experimenting with fuel loads.
This are my best so far with experimenting:
Ferrari Sebring 32 L
Merc Sebring 29 L (3.62L/lap)
I lift before hair pin and at then end of straight before sunset turn. I draft as much as possible and use L1 pack racing to go light on throttle and late brake to catch up to cars. Short shift when yellow lights on.
When I started paying attention to fuel my best lap was a 2:06. Now it's a 2:04, I've definitely gotten better, at the track, but doing this exercise helps me find inefficiencies in my lines too.
Usually I have 0.2 Litres of fuel and out of gas when I cross.
I'm learning so many insights from you would be awesome!
Thank you.
P.S. The Internet says fuel saving strategies are pointless in short races, I don't see how, it's weight. But I've learned a lot thinking about this strategy and practicing it.
