Pitstops!
04:03 PM on Mar 20, 2007

I've just finished the GTC-Euro Barc

In the Series Info it says 2 mandatory pitstops are required, Which I did. But when I look at the laps of other drivers I can only see 1. Am I getting something wrong?

Also

Is it just me or do the Ignition and Starter switches have a life of their own. Is there some trick to using the damn things?

I think what you are seeing is that 1 of the pit strategies is to pit back to back stops changing 2 tires each time. As far as starter ignition, can't help you there.

Chris some ppl are making double stops which reduces time loss with cold tyres. They enter pits in mid race and change only 2 tyres then again pits and change other 2 tyres. Its like entering pits in 25th and 26th laps in a 50 lap race.

Ignition and starter thing is easy actually. Set them on your wheel as buttons. When u enter pits for fuel, just hit ignition, then engine will stop. When u want to start the engine, then hit ignition then starter, thats all.
