Minimum fuel amount dropped for Gold Coast

The minimum refueling amount for the V8 Supercars drivers during pitstops at the Gold Coast race has been removed by the V8 Supercars Commission according to Speedcafe.

The dropped regulation stated that a minimum fuel drop of 550 mm had to be undertaken in each of the 300 kilometer races, this in order to help cars with a higher fuel consumption.

The change is reported to have been made based on calculations on the fuel consumption of the cars during the previous races.
