Race Day Fueling & Hydration for Racing Athletes (E-book Guide)

Race Day Fueling & Hydration for Racing Athletes is an easy-to-read and easy-to-apply, science-based guide designed to help racing drivers fuel correctly and perform consistently under real race conditions.

Motorsport performance is uniquely limited by cognitive fatigue, dehydration, heat stress, and poor nutritional timingrather than traditional physical exhaustion. Small nutritional errors can lead to reduced focus, slower reaction times, gastrointestinal discomfort, and inconsistent execution, often without the athlete realizing why performance drops.

This guide explains exactly what to eat and drink, when, and in what amounts before, during, and after race day, using applied sports science and physiology rather than trends or generic nutrition advice.

Inside the guide, you will learn:

• How carbohydrate availability directly affects brain function, focus, and reaction time

• How to structure race-day meals and snacks based on body weight and timing

• Why dehydration as low as 1–2% can significantly impair performance

• When water is not enough and how to use electrolytes correctly

• How to minimize gastrointestinal issues under stress

• Step-by-step race day fueling and hydration timelines

• Practical examples for drivers of different body weights and race conditions

The content is written for karting, sim racing, and amateur to semi-professional racing athletes, with an emphasis on realistic, repeatable protocols that can be applied in high-pressure environments, not ideal laboratory settings.

This is not a supplement-heavy or trend-driven guide.
It is a clear, structured, evidence-based manual for drivers who want predictable performance, better focus, and fewer race-day mistakes.
