Topic: Noob pit stop walk through needed (racing@MSR in Nov!)
%editing my orig. post considering i found more info confirming that nothing other than fueling can be done in the hot pits
Can someone please walk me through an "efficient" pit stop example.
My current baseless thinking is:
--> driver_A pits
--> driver_B walks into pits with fuel and team fire extinguisher
--> driver_A exits car
--> driver_A using extinguisher provides fire watch with the driver_B fuels
--> fueling complete
--> driver_B buckles into car and checks comms
--> driver_A notes tire pressure
--> driver_A check fluids
--> driver_A clears the pits and gives all clear to driver_B.
This assumes we can check fluids/tire pressure in the pits. I am assuming that the rule:
During fueling, the kill switch must be off; no one can be in the car; and NO other work may be done (no fluid or tire checks, no screwing with the camera, etc.)
I am assuming that the above only applies during the act of fueling and that once fueling is complete we can check fluids and tire pressures in the pits.
Please let me know what y'all have found to work best, this is really just a WAG as we have never done this before
