Pitstop

The pits is is a series of garages, 1 for each racing team (or car) that is placed in parallel to the main straight of a track. Pitstop means when the racing car stops in the pit. The role of a pit is to service the car during a race, to serve pit penalties or to switch driver.

During a race when a car goes to pit, it drives down the pitlane (the road connecting the garages) instead of down the straight and parks outside its garage, the place where it parks is called the pit box. The team that performs the servicing is called the pit crew.

AI control in pitlane
This option will let the AI control the car in pitlane.

Beware that you should tell the pit crew what should be done before you enter the pit. You can do that with the pit menu.

Manual pitlane
When AI in pitlane is disabled you must drive the car to the correct pitstop, its highlighted with a red stop sign. You must come to full stop and be in neutral gear.

Beware to not exceed the pit speed limit or you will get a drive through penalty.



Pit menu
You can summon the pit menu in 2 ways. With the bind request pitstop, which will auto request pitstop. And with the toggle pit menu bind, which will show the menu, but you have to do the request manually.

At the top is your pit presets you can choose from by using the binds pit menu left and pit menu right.

You can use the pit menu down/up/left/right/select to use the menu. Highlighting with green means it will be done.

When you have a drive through or full stop penalty that will show as an option in the menu as serve penalty, and when that is selected, you can not get the pit crew to do other tasks for you.

Fuel quantity
In the menu you can select amount of fuel to add in pit. Notice if fuel is selected (green) you have to deselect it first to change it.
 * Safe: Enough to finish rest of race if tank capacity allows it, plus a big margin.
 * Normal: Enough to finish rest of race if tank capacity allows it, plus a small margin.
 * Risky: Enough to finish rest of race if tank capacity allows it, with no margin.
 * Amount in liters.

Pit presets
You can define one or more pit presets, which is a predefined list to the pit crew detailing what services you want performed in the pit.

This is handy so you do not have to spend too much time during a race to use the pit menu.

Mandatory Pitstop
When mandatory pitstop is set for the race, you must do it within a specific period. Keep an eye open for when the pit time window is open to perform your mandatory pitstop. You can still pit outside the window, but it wont count for the mandatory pitstop.

Minimum time
When there is a minimum pit time set for the race, the time counts from when you enter the pitlane, not from when you are parked outside the garage.

Minimum wheel change
Sometimes there is a minimum requirement for changing 2 or 4 wheels, that must happen within the pit window time.
