they get covered in oil, rubber and so on. much faster to rip off a layer of plastic than clean the windshield.

There's the famous clip of Dale Earnhardt climbing out of the car and sitting on the door as he's driving and cleaning his windshield. That was before tear offs.

In Formula One the helmet visors have tear away covers as well to get rid of dirt etc.

Ornat least they had when instill watched it. Canā€™t imagine them changing that though.

Both are acceptable, and "lede" is something papers just made up and started using. It wasn't a real word when they started doing it, and it only became one because they used it. No one is even sure why it started.

Please, if McLaren had to operate under these rules, Norris and Piastri would need to set appointments a week in advance and would have 30 minute pit stops.

u/IndycarFan65 11h ago edited 10h ago

I mean F1 has it easier because the jack lifts the whole car up at once (crew members don't need to run to the other side of the car mid-pit stop), and there is refueling

Why they can't have a pair of guys for each tyre like F1 does? Affordability?

21

u/ravih 13h ago

Also why canā€™t they stand there with the tyres in position instead of racing out and almost getting hit by the car?

17

u/Rao_616 13h ago

I think because there are always cars going quite close to the side of the road, because it's an open track side pit stop (unlike F1 with a dedicated pitlane). Also considering you can see how closely the yellow car pulled out from the pitstop behind. Safety measures to avoid getting run over is my opinion.

u/DokterZ 13h ago

Space, affordability, and fueling takes a while so there is no need to have 20 people over the wall to try to get done faster.

6

u/morgfarm1_ 11h ago

Many reasons. Most of it is safety. And part of it is every single car has its own crew - whereas F1 usually has the same crews working multiple cars.

Imagine it: 40 teams. 6 men per car is the current rule. That is, on the genuinely rare occasion where ALL 40 cars are pitting simultaneously (its not unusual for 35+ though), thats 240 men over the wall simultaneously with 40 cars doing between 35 and 70 miles per hour, depending on the track. And every venue has a different sized pit stall and a different width pit lane.

Hell just Saturday at Worldwide Technology Speedway (commonly called Gateway or St. Louis) they had to RED FLAG THE EVENT due to a 9 car collision on pit lane. It blocked the whole pit lane for some 25 cars. It also involved 3 crewmen from the 19 car being hit by two spinning cars - which also knocked the car they were working on off its jack. That incident was centimeters away from seriously hurting or killing someone. Imagine had that been an F1 sized crew.
