Not my area of expertise at all, but I would imagine 8 mins on a track is easier than 8 mins climbing a steep mountain road.
Just as a very unscientific benchmark, looking at the instant fuel consumption on my car shows that driving slowly up a mountain road (i.e. to a ski field) consumes about 3 times the fuel as flat driving at highway speeds.
- skykooler 4y agoThat is going to make a much bigger difference to a regular car than a race car, which runs at much higher power levels and is going to spend most of its energt accelerating or pushing air even when going uphill.
