UKGTR Season 10 Upper Endurance - Road America (Full) - Sep 20

[Simon Gymer]

was there any sneaky pit lane cheat i wasnt aware of like being able to come off the pit limiter well before that very far away green light at end of pit? Am still confused how i could lose so much time at the stops. The stop went totally functionally.   It was very dispiriting to be in a good first half race with enough cars in range to feel a race will develop over an endurance length to then be -45 seconds    

With 3 spins before your stop you were approximately 36 seconds behind where you could have been.
You also had a slow 1st flying lap compared to most of the other GT1s (approx an extra 10 seconds).
Add all that together and you get 46 seconds off where your pace could have put you.

Then you factor in the smaller factors:
Did you start on a full tank?
Did you have a rubbish in and out lap?
Did you stop the engine quickly and select pit board options quickly?
Did you know where to brake to be quick into the pits?
You are driving one of the thirstier cars so a bit more is expected in the stop.

After all this talk about saving time in the pits may I put my moderator hat on and remind people that:

•Drivers shall at all times and in all sessions obey the pit lane speed limit.

Pit speeding especially during qually sessions seems to be creeping in.
