It's a lot harder to forecast fuel consumption for a track that turns both left and right, since we don't know how hard you'll thrash it. I'm sure it depends on the track. I have no idea, but I'll place a WAG of 10mpg while on the track.
Hi Robert, thanks for the link- that thread is part of the reason I posted this up..

It'll be getting some working- revving to over 5k rpm, and will be pushed as far as the drivers are comfortable with- this may vary depending on the driver/weather

As to the overall fuel, by my reckoning you think that

on track i'll use 7.2 UK gallons

then an additional 2.47 UK to get there and back..

so that'd give me 17.79 uk MPG overall?

Thats not so far from my predicted 20mpg uk..

thanks!

Anyone else got any theories?
