Fuel consumption - Le Mans

[David Morton]

I promised somebody on the site that I'd get back to them with some figures about fuel consumption on current Le Mans Cars, but I couldn't find the thread again. I don't have the Bentley figures for last year but the 2002 lead car (R8) figures were as follows:
Dry circuit figures:
15 LAPS (204 KM) used 88 litres (with 2 litres reserve so if you miss the pits you run out somewhere by Hunaudiere.
I think that equates to 10.31 Km (6.405miles) per Imperial Gallon

Thanks Dave. Actually, that's not too bad - I know of some older street cars that don't do much better than that.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
