WHAT DOES PIT STOP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pit stop

In motorsports, a pit stop is where a racing vehicle stops in the pits during a race for refuelling, new tires, repairs, mechanical adjustments, a driver change, or any combination of the above. Not all are allowed in all formulae. The pits usually comprise a pit lane which runs parallel to the start/finish straight and is connected at each end to the main track, and a row of garages outside which the work is done. Pit stop work is carried out by anywhere from five to twenty mechanics, depending on the series regulations, while the driver waits in the vehicle. Depending on the circuit, the garage may be located on pit lane or in a separate area. Most North American circuits feature a pit lane with number of pit stalls and a pit wall which separates the pit lane from the infield, with the garages on a separate road in the infield. In races where there are different series racing together, each series has its own separate garage or are parked in their own area. Circuits in other areas typically have the individual garage stalls open directly onto the pit lane through the team's assigned pit stall.
