Motorsport and Motorsport Endurance –  What, when and how much?

Motorsport: Qualifier (15-20 minutes) and 2 races (10 laps, 20-30 minutes each) 
Motorsport Endurance (3 x racers for 45 minutes minimum in a car for 3 or 6 hours continuously). The instructions for Pace & Power is written in purple at the bottom of this page
For Motorsport, we have divided the into into 2 areas:
1. Race Day Performance
2. Training and Recovery
Race Day Performance:

Daily Training and Recovery

EnduraShake:

  • A light, but SUSTAINING liquid race meal – Perfect for Motorsport and Endurance Motorsport – especially for those who struggle to eat, then compete with a super-high heart-rate!
  • It also eliminates any ill-timed drops in blood sugar (which usually affects reaction time, focus and concentration)

Use EnduraShake 4 ways for Motorsport

  1. Nutrition/Carbo-loader: 2-3 days before (depending on the intensity of the event how any heats etc). 1 scoop  in 200mls water at 10h00, 15h00 and before bed.
  2. In the morning: Take 2 scoops in 400ml water for breakfast. This is particularly good to stabilise blood sugar for a few hours, and if you struggle to eat because of nervous tension! You WON’T feel full.
  3. Over the day: Light sustaining meal. 1 scoop in 200ml water intermittently throughout the day – whenever you get hungry. Note that you can drink EnduraShake and race straight away – You don’t have to worry about gettting your timing right.
  4. Recovery food: 2 scoops afterwards to maximise recovery. If you are very tired, take another 1 scoop before you go to sleep. (EnduraShake won’t keep you awake, but it will help feed tired muscles while sleeping)

EnduraShake should be also be taken before and after your Friday training sessions.

  • Take 1 scoop before and 1 scoop after a 1.5 – 2 hour training session 
  • OR 2 scoops before and 2 scoops after a 3.5 hour training session

EnduraPower: This powder goes in your water-bottle(s):

  • Low GI for stable blood sugar (thus helping with focus and concentration)
  • High electrolytes to prevent dehydration and muscle cramping (contains Kalahari Salt).
  • Malic acid for high intensity racing!
  • Glutamine for recovery.

How to Use EnduraPower

  • Follow the instructions on the label in terms of the number of scoops per water per litre. (You should not water it down).
  • Sip on EnduraPower whilst waiting for your heat/race. This ensures that you are fully hydrated and fueled beforehand. And it will ensure that your blood sugar levels are stable for your heats/races.
  • Note: EnduraPower  has significant levels of Kalahari Salt to prevent hyponatraemia. (Water intoxication/over-hydration).

Choose your flavour wisely: Read our recommendations on flavour choices.
GT Gel:

  • Extremely high-electrolyte.
  • Sustaining blood sugars.
  • GT Gel is designed in Africa for African heat.
  • Brilliant for preventing cramps!

Use GT Gel as follows:

  • GT Gel may be used in conjunction with EnduraPower , especially if you think there is a risk that you might cramp.
  • Pour GT Gel into the little decanting bottle and take a few sips before each heat/race (Drink EnduraPower  throughout the day).
  • Drinking water with the gel ensures easy and rapid absorption of the gel.

Note: GT Gel has significant levels of sodium to prevent hyponatraemia. (Water intoxication/over-hydration).
PaceLyte:

  • A tasteless ELECTROLYTE formula
  • Contain significant amounts of MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE

  • If you’re feeling dehydrated or very tired at the end of the day, drink another teaspoon before you go to sleep that night

Joobies OR Jooblets: (Same thing, different sizes) One Joobie = 5-6 Jooblets

  • An electrolyte chewy designed to give you a powerful energy boost – PERFECT for Motorsport!
  • One Joobie or 6 x Jooblets will last you ~20 minutes of high-intensity racing.
  • But don’t use Joobies/Jooblets on their own: Remember to drink EnduraPower throughout the day and to use EnduraShake as your food. In this way, you will ensure no drops in blood sugar in the middle of your event, and then the Joobies/Jooblets can do their job properly!
