Pit Speed: 55 MPH
Pit Exit: You may join the track at the end of the front straight at turn 1 (allowed by game) but this entry is only allowed if you do not interfere with cars approaching down the straight. If an approaching car has to brake hard, swerve exccessively or hits you because of a dangerous track entry you can be protested.

Qualify Rules: Current top 8 drivers (points) after Race 1 NOT ALLOWED to qualify.
Pit Speed: 55 MPH
Pit Exit: You may join the track on the back straight after turn 2. Any entry to the track before this point will incur a black flag (given by game).
Pit Entry: You may enter the pit after turn 4 as you come onto the front straight but with extreme care. You are moving off the racing line at the very last second and although there is ample time to brake safely to attain the required pit speed, it is very tight and a lot of practice is required. Once again if a car must brake heavily or swerve excessivly to avoid you or in fact does hit you then you can be protested. If you are unsure or have a big pack behind you that you are aware are not pitting as well then take the safer (and in fact not much slower) pit entry and leave the track off the back straight.

Pit Speed: 70 MPH
Pit Exit: You are only allowed to exit the pits from the standard exit on the straight after turn 2 and is marked by a white line on the apron. Any exit before this will incur a black flag (given by game).
Pit Entry: You may enter the pit after turn 4 as you come onto the front straight but with extreme care. You are moving off the racing line at the very last second and there is limited time and traction to brake safely to attain the required pit speed, it is very tight and a lot of practice is required. Once again if a car must brake heavily or swerve excessivly to avoid you or in fact does hit you then you can be protested. If you are unsure you can pit safely on worn tyres remembering that the pit shute is very tricky, then take the safer (and in fact not much slower) pit entry and leave the track off the back straight before turn 4.
