As of release 2.0, the pit stop simulation system remains unchanged from TORCS.
When racing on tracks equipped with a pit lane, drivers are assigned a pit stop emplacement according to their position on the starting grid.
Since most tracks don't provide enough emplacements for all the race competitors, robot drivers support pit stop sharing.
To trigger pit stops, robots have to drive near their emplacement at sufficiently slow speed, then make the stop request to the race engine, which captures the car and keeps it still and unresponsive until the end of the process.
The human robot automatically sends the request as soon as the other conditions are satisfied; the simulation is then paused, while the player is offered a menu where he can choose the parameters of the stop.
Services offered during pit stops are repairing damage, refuelling and serving penalties; the stop's duration is automatically defined and depends on the amount of damage and of fuel to deal with.
During pit stops no graphical animation is displayed.
