This fuel saving calculator is designed to help drivers work out how much time they will save or lose at different levels of fuel saving in endurance events. In addition to the standard parameters such as tank capacity, normal lap time, race time, etc., you need to enter the following data:
- Race Time (min): The duration of the race in minutes. For example, a 24-hour race lasts 1440 minutes, a 12-hour race 720 minutes and so on.
- Normal Lap Time (s): The average lap time progonised for the race in advance, including lapping, duels, etc. This explicitly does not refer to the fastest qualifying pace.
- Normal Fuel per Lap (l): Normal fuel consumption during the race when driving without fuel saving.
- Fuel Capacity (l): The maximum tank capacity of the car used.
- Max Fuel Save per Lap (l): The maximum reasonable fuel saving possible per lap.
- Max Time Lost per Lap (s): Time loss per lap with maximum fuel saving.
- Time Lost per Stop (s): Time lost per pit stop. This does not refer to the time of the stop itself, but to the entire process including entry and exit. This refers to the combined delta of in and outlap compared to normal race laps.
