me how the pitstops are handled? Are they approximentally 1 minute in
length? Do they compress everything into just a few seconds? Just call
me curious.

But they made up for it in a BIG way with GP4. Screaming down pit row with
multiple teams running in or out of the pits, then the frantic activity of
your own crew (assuming they weren't caught sleeping), then the charge back
out past active teams. Absolutely the best pit lane activity of any sim up
until now. Say what you want about other aspects of GP4, Crammond's crew
nailed the pit stop that time...

actually the pit guys tell you something like
"damn! now finally turn off the engine so we can fill you up!" :-)
