GPFans explains in detail exactly how the minimum pit stop times work in the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nurburgring.
“GPFans, a motorsport publication, provides a detailed explanation of the minimum pit stop times at the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nurburgring event.
Four-time Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen will encounter strict pit stop regulations during the Nurburgring 24h race in May, where he will drive a Mercedes-AMG GT3 for his Verstappen Racing team.
The organizers of the 24h Nurburgring have implemented stringent pit stop rules to ensure fairness, limit strategic advantages, control costs, and maintain safety during the race.
Pit stops are now timed from the moment a car enters the pit lane until it exits, with the duration based on the number of laps completed in the preceding stint, exempting refueling stops from the minimum time requirement.
The minimum pit stop duration is determined by a fixed table in the regulations, with specific times set for different laps completed, especially in the SP 9-class for GT3 cars like Verstappen’s entry.
Additionally, a special rule applies for the final phase of the race, where pit stop times are based on the remaining race time rather than laps completed, with specific durations decreasing as the race progresses towards the finish.”
