Race Fuel Load and Consumption Sheet
A race fuel calculation sheet — fuel in, added, left and used per session with laps run, so consumption per lap is measured and the next load worked from it.

What this sheet is for
Replace a guessed fuel load with a measured one, so the car neither runs dry on the last lap nor carries weight it does not need.
Who it is for
Club racers, endurance and sprint teams, and track-day drivers who want to know what the car actually uses on a given circuit.
How to use it
- Record the circuit, the fuel and where it came from, and how you measure it.
- For each session, write fuel in at the start, anything added, and what was left afterwards.
- Divide what was used by the laps run to get a per-lap figure for those conditions.
- Note the conditions and pace — a wet session or a safety car changes the number.
- Work out the next load at the foot of the page from your own per-lap figure and the margin you choose.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Fuel in, fuel out and laps run for each session, so the consumption per lap is measured rather than guessed — and the load for the next session is worked from your own figures.
Measured, not assumed. No consumption figure or reserve is printed here. Measure what your car uses on this circuit in these conditions, then set the load and the margin yourself, within whatever your regulations allow. Note which fuel and where it came from — a change of fuel is a change of consumption.

Questions
Why is there no consumption figure or reserve printed?
Because consumption depends on the engine, the circuit, the driver and the weather, and a reserve is a judgement about risk that only you can make within your regulations. Measure, then decide.
Litres or kilograms?
Whichever you can measure accurately with the equipment you have. Be consistent on one sheet, and if your regulations set a limit in one unit, work in that unit.
