GP2 PITS

i was wondering about pitstops in gp2. i have heard that you don't see anything when you pit because someone is wiping off your visor. what is the story on this? do you have to(or can you) rev the engine in neutral to keep it from stalling? is the "lollipop man" there?(the guys with the sign telling you when to put it in gear) how much control do you have while driving in the pits? once you are in the pits does the car go "automatic" and drive itself to your stall? if sowhat happens if you spin and to avoid the wallora nother car are frced to drive through the pits? thanks for any answers!

It seems to me that there is a red or yellow paint line that gives away the location of your pit area. Watch the road surface and see if you can see it. You are quite correct about the machine NOT taking over in the pits unless you have the driving help on. JEB in Vegas

You don't see all, but quite enough in my opinion I kept it in 1, and he's there allright. When you leave the pits, you can't drive over 80km/u. When entring it, my care drove sooooooo louzy I didn't dare to go over 50. :) not exactly, but it helps a bit, just like in F1GP Don't know, haven't 'tried' that, yet. :) Martin -- DISCLAIMER : This Statement is not an official statement from, nor does it represent an official position of, PTT Telecom B.V.
