GPRO Fuel Guide — Race Fuel & Pit Stop Planning

How Fuel Works in GPRO

Every lap consumes fuel. Run out and you retire from the race. Carry too much and you're slow from the extra weight. The key is calculating exactly how much fuel you need.

What Affects Fuel Consumption

Fuel consumption per lap depends on:

• Track — each circuit has a base fuel rate (dry and wet)
• Driver Concentration — higher = slightly less fuel used
• Driver Aggressiveness — higher = more fuel used
• Driver Experience — higher = slightly less fuel used
• Tech Insight — higher = less fuel used
• Engine Level — higher level = more fuel efficient
• Electronics Level — higher level = slightly more fuel efficient

Fuel Strategy Tips

• Always add +3% safety margin to calculated fuel (the Safety Fuel shown in GPRO Calculator)
• Boost laps consume ~0.45L extra per boost at 5.5km tracks. Max 3 boosts per race, 3 laps each
• When pitting, carry only enough fuel for the next stint — less weight = faster laps
• Wet weather uses less fuel than dry conditions

Pit Stop Fuel Planning

GPRO Calculator divides the race into equal stints and calculates optimal fuel for each. The first stint usually carries more fuel (no pit stop advantage yet), while later stints benefit from lighter fuel loads.
