    More like planned Fuel usage, not time limit per lap.

    No it's not, running an engine on "full power" will be on it's richest setting so use more fuel. If the tyres have no grip, with the increase in performance, it doesn't mean you'll get quicker laps.
    Therefore you use more fuel than "planned" for the same lap time and risk running out of fuel.

    they spend friday testing the life of the tyres & the fuel usage.. they then calculate all sorts of factors to work out their race pace & fuel loading..
    it used to be the driver working it out as he went along, and, yes, people cooked their tyres & ran out of fuel, but that was part of the racing.

    Seeing inside the unit of a lad I know, and admiring a mk2 2dr Escort Mexico on a spit, Caspian blue ex-concourse XR3, genuine Gartrac RS1600i ex-works car, LHD uber clean 3.0 24v Cosworth kitted 4i drifter and mk1 Escort Mexico running a YB.

    He has other things too, but they were the pick of the bunch for me.

    His daily drie mk2 Escort with 2.0 Zetec is pretty cool too.
