How do you use pit stops?

Post by JTcheeseslice »

I understand the rules for pit stops, but how do you actually use them in the game/app? I can't find any buttons to press to allow me to use it. I'll be wrecked on the side of the road with 00 and not on a special spot. But I can't figure out how to send my car to the pits.

I've only played solo so far, so I can learn the game. Are pit stops not available in solo mode?

Pit Stop:
You have to stop your car in Gear 1. (NOT 0 or 00)
Not in the middle lane.
Not in a space with a speed limit or a warning.
You will be positioned in Gear 0 if you just change tires. In Gear 00 if you will repair the car or change tires+repair.
new!You may not perform Pit Stops in Solo Mode

Here some FAQ, in you want enjoy it

I'm not asking about the rules. I understand the rules. I know that you have stop on the side of the road. How do you do it in the app? What am I supposed to click on to actually send the car to the pits?

You have to stop your car in Gear 1 and it's automatic if you need (changing weather or mechanic problem )

If you need ? People said that you can stop without need. (Because sometimes you want to end in speed 0 rather than 1)

"If you need" is understood as inclusive of "if you want"

Not when you are talking about something 'automatic' unless the game reads my mind.
Either it's automatic using an algorithm based on "need" (wrong tire/damaged) or it is at the user discretion (based on will). It cannot be both.
As I understand it *must* be based on will, i don't see why the game would ever force me to go to the stands and lower my speed if I don't want to even if I have the wrong tires.
Or the offer to stop could be based on "need" (wrong tire/damaged) which bring me back to a point I made about the rule book not being clear as to whether stopping to do nothing is allowed.

I hope I understand correctly but

You can make a pit stop to change tires and repair car
You can also don't make a pit stop even if you are broken or have wrong tires

You can also make a pit stop and don't repair or don't change tires
