Fuel consumption in races

Original Poster

🏎 Formula 1 (F1) • Average fuel consumption: 2.5-3 liters/km • Average track length: around 300 km • Total fuel consumption: 750-900 liters (however, F1 cars start the race with a maximum of 110 kg (~145 liters) of fuel; because of the turbo-hybrid systems this much isn't actually consumed, but the engine would burn this much under normal conditions.) 🚗 Rally (WRC) • Average fuel consumption: 1.2-1.5 liters/km (higher due to off-road conditions) • On a 300 km special stage: 360-450 liters 🚘 Le Mans 24 Hours • LMP1 cars consume around 30-50 liters per 100 km. • About 5000 km is covered in 24 hours: between 1500-2500 liters of fuel is used. 🏁 Standard Circuit Races (GT3 or Touring Car) • Average 30-50 liters per 100 km • In a 1-hour race: 80-150 liters 🔥 Street or Amateur Drag Races (400m) • Fuel used in the race is generally little, but powerful drag cars can burn 3-5 liters in a few seconds. 👉 Summary It's normal for a race car to use between 80-150 liters of gasoline in a 1-hour circuit race. Advanced hybrid systems like F1's achieve the same performance with lower fuel amounts.
