After hosting a few races at the Ring with the pit mod I've had a
couple requests on how to do the mod.
Here's the post from ras that explains how to move the pits at the
Ring. For those of you that haven't heard of this, it moves the place
where the cars pit to just before the second Karussel. This allows you
to warm up your tires and hit the starting line at speed, so you don't
have to waste a untimed lap when practicing.
I've used it for a while, done offline races, and hosted online races,
everything seems to work fine.
He suggests experimenting, don't, the numbers work fine as they are.
Many thanks to Uartijn for this.

Add these lines to the Nurburg\Track.ini to replace the existing ones.
The first part is to let AI's speed up as soon as they cross s/f,
otherwise
their first full (timed) lap is done in "out-lap" pace which is ~9:30,
even
for Clark.
The second part defines the place of the pitstalls. The distances
("18030")
is the distance from s/f, these values give boxes before the 2nd
Karusell.
If you want them anywhere else, experiment a little. The "-4.3" defines
the
lateral distance from the center of the track. You don't want the cars
to
be in the middle of the track, nor outside the fences :-)
This is halfway ON the track, half on the grass. Works OK.
Ofcourse you can do this on every track, but it's nowhere as useful as
on
the Ring.
