During the Race
>>>http://www.f1driverssecrets.com/nutritionformotorsport.html
While racing, you need to maintain focus, stamina and strength. As described in the previous post, hydration is critical, and you should use any available delivery system for optimal hydration.
Ideally, determine a plan based on your usual fluid losses. Fluid losses can be determined by weighing yourself before and after racing.
>> Each kilogram of weight loss indicates one liter of fluid loss.
Begin drinking early in the race and drink small amounts, frequently to ensure your fluid intake matches your fluid loss. It helps to have pre-determined cues for drinking – a visual cue such as the finish line or specific point on the track.
Alternatively, nominate a member of the crew to give regular reminders via the radio system. Fluid delivery systems (i.e., Camel Pack or specialized in-car drinking systems) are essential for easy drinking during race conditions.
Try your system during less important races until you are comfortable with the technique. Make sure to even vary the products used (for example, water vs. Cytomax) and determine how you felt in terms of your strength, focus, hydration status, etc.
For more information about Nutrition, hydration, peak performance and motorsport I have put together a guide for you with powerful information to get you performing consistently at you peak.

Do you want to perform at your peak? Then you better get your pre-race meal correct!
The primary purpose of the pre-race meal is to offset fatigue during the race. Being optimally fueled helps you massively to maintain concentration on the most important aspects of racing.
So what do you need to do to maintain energy levels and ultimately concentration during the race? Here is an outline below:
Firstly you need to know that this is only a guide as different drivers will have different requirements.
Here are the Pre-race Guidelines:
• Eat foods that release energy slowly approximately 2-3 hours before the race. These include whole grain cereals, whole wheat bread and beans just to name a few. The closer to the race the smaller the meal. Ultimately this will sustain blood sugar levels that are so so important for peak performance.
• Drink 400 to 600 mL (14 to 22 oz) of fluid two to three hours before the race (depending on what you can handle). You need to track and monitor this to understand what suits you the best.
• Remember what happened to Webber at the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix? Don’t try new foods just before the race. Stick to what you know and have a plan for what you are going to eat.
I have just put the finishing touches on a guide that will help you to take control of your eating. This is being released for $7 for the first 5 drivers then the price is going up. It gives you an eating guide, a plan to help you recognise what foods help you to perform at your peak AND 1500 – 3000 calorie meal plans (completely balanced)

Getting your nutrition correct is absolutely essential for peak performance.
Eating for motorsport
This means that you need to be aware the best foods to put into your body and the
best times to do it. This is especially important for motorsport where weight makes
such a difference.
Getting your eating right doesn’t only affect your weight though it also influences your:
- concentration levels
- decision making skills
- stamina
Getting the nutrition aspect is not just important for race day but is also important
for training and racing.
Getting the correct nutrition is often overlooked in motorsport. Optimally fueling yourself
until the end of the race has the potential to give you the edge that you require. This can be
achieved through the use of Low GI foods (foods that slowly release their energy).
In addition it is important for you to also know about how to have speedy recovery
sessions post training and post race.
In the coming weeks I am going to go into more detail and look at the importance of
optimally fueling yourself for both training and racing to give you the edge and to
ensure optimal peak performance is achieved!
However for this week you need to track and monitor what you are eating.
This can be done with the use of a food diary. Every time you eat or drink anything
over the next week record it as you go. Have a look at the example food diary at this
website to understand a little more about the best way to record your food to optimise performance:
