spa racing/fuel tank
hi guys im racing at spa next weekend in our gts race car, the last two times ive raced there the races have been shorter than next wk
. how many litres does the gts fuel tank hold, i never have to fill it as our races are usually 30-40mins and im worried the tank wont do 61 minutes as it was was close to empty at 50 minutes from my memory at spa in 2008. i will post some pics from the track next wk. thanks in advance

Be aware also that you can suffer from fuel starvation as the tank approaches empty... there are a couple of corners on Nurburgring where at 1/4 tank I can suffer from a second or two of fuel starvation as I exit the corner....
Could be an issue related just to my car.... so just an FYI... YMMV...
(I will be fitting a new fuel strainer, adding some fuel cell foam to the tank pick-up area and installing an '044' pump this summer to see if that resovles the issue)

Wish I can join the fun at Spa, but I don't have enough signatures on my license yet! Good luck and show that pesky 911 who is boss, please! See you at Cadwell.
