피트

Frequently asked questions
Do 'pit' and 'pit lane' mean the same thing?
Not exactly. 'Pit' can refer more broadly to the team's working and garage area, while the pit lane is the roadway used by cars to travel past the garages.
Why is there a speed limit in the pit lane?
Cars and personnel operate very close to one another there, so a strict speed limit is enforced to reduce the risk of accidents.
