Pit Lane Gear
Cars are not only tuned, set up and rebuilt in pit lane garages, but races in Formula 1 are often won and lost in the pit lane. The technology of the F1 pit lane, therefore, is also amongst the highest in car racing. Find out about things like the computer equipment for measuring a car's responses to the track and the rigs that allow quick refueling.
Refueling in the Formula 1 Pit Lane
One of the most exciting moments in a Formula 1 race comes during the pit stop when the car has to be refueled. The Formula 1 refueling machine is a unique piece of machinery, and requires several pit crew members to use. I had the luck to be able to try it out once while a team practiced pit stops, and I wrote about the experience for the International Herald Tribune.
