Turbo mpg on track?

[Adam86]

In a recent track day my rev 3 n/a a burnt off £80 in 190 miles around mallory park. Now my engine is on 150K and l do 30K a year so when it does need replacing l thinking a turbo as you do lol. Now l know that on the road if you keep away from the boost they arnt really any worse than the n/a's. But what about on track how many miles does a tank tend to last? 80sih miles?

[Quigonjay]

dont know how many miles i did but probably 50 laps max around anglesey
arrived with full tank, filled up at lunch time, filled up again on way home
rough estimate - about a tank and a half with 100 or so miles track driving
not sure how to work out mpg from that info

Around 12mpg or so. Not much.

[Clarkson]Some say, if your mpg isn't in single figures, then you're not really trying[/Clarkson]

I did about 10 mpg around Angelsey, but about 35mpg on the way home which makes up for it. Thants about normal for a turbo car with about 250bhp as my S3 did about 9 mpg around castle combe.

[Adam86]

Now that l think about it even if the £80 l put in mine was £1 per litre that would give me 10.8 mpg to the 190 miles. To be fair though at mallory you are at WOT for alot of the track.

my mr2 turbo rev 1

round cadwell achived sub 8mpg at times

I was using 1/4 of a tank every 20 minute session around donnington
not very scientific but it was expensive!

I see around 7-8mpg at donington.

FWIW I used 74 litres in one track evening. That was just over 300kms which included the steady motorway cruise up and back. Combined for the distance was 12.97mpg, and I can see close to 30mpg on a motorway run.

Similar story, 14mpg doing a round trip to silverstone and a few hours on track.

Easy single digits on my old turbo - 5-8mpg depending on the track and layout. Roadster seems a little less thirsty but still around 10-12mpg ISTR

I'd arrive with a full tank in the morning and need a refill at lunchtime after ~3 track sessions.

[Simarshy]

I do used to do 5-8 mpg, I can remember having to fill up every 4 laps of the ring before I had it remapped.

Day to Day 30mpg is doable.

easy to use a full tank in a morning on track. Tubby's just dump fuel when you keep your foot in

[Adam86]

Well ive got a tubby now so l guess ill find out lol.
