Hi you non-german GP2-Freaks,
the translation was almost correct ..

German 'fast' means 'almost', so this one could lead to
confusion ... :-)

'Box' is the german expession for pit, so this should be 'speed limit in pit
lane'.

Same thin => 'pit strategy adjustable'

'pit lane max speed is kept automatically'

So while waiting for the release in your country look at Stephans Website,
his pictures are quite good.

Stefan
