Guys if you look back you will see I've added a fuel tank drain. I measure what goes in, then after each session I drain the tank. Working out what I've used againt track distance and how many laps, I can work out mpg and how much I'll need for the race etc Why not one of these flow meter , won't the fuel used vary track to track and depend on practice or race and conditions, with this you could see real time. Unless your weight is an issue, the car I mean.  Yes the fuel usage will alter from track to track. This is the best way to monitor it for this reason Yes I appreciate that but, would not a real time readout sent to the pits from a mass flow meter, (they can be very accurate), as per F1 etc, give you better feedback and save time and effort? Just a thought. As for weight I know its accumulative and every bit saved counts, but in this case the benefit might actually out weigh the increase.

I think using F1 tech may be going to far lol

I think Lawrie and co are trying to frighten the competition off from actually taking part.... I now hear that Williams will be using M-Sport technology on their engine. Now to me that means they will be running the BMW 4.4 litre block but with a "Sigma" badge to fool the scrutineers. Should work I reckon and the 4/4 Sport should fly with that !!

Unfortunately we are not allowed pit to car radio systems, so that system would not benefit us. I down load the data after each session and we talk about it then
