How to experience singleplayer-pitstop?

I think singleplayer-pitstops are already implemented (right?), but how can I experience them?

I already played several quickraces in VR against AI but when I drive in pitlane it seems empty.

Maybe I must activate them somewhere in the menus (where?) or request them (how?) or my races are not long enough (but I don’t have time for long endurance races, I just want to experience my first pitstop in VR in ACC)...

Any ideas? Thank you!

 

You have pitstops in the Sprint weekend, I don't think they're there in quickraces. Pits are only open for a few minutes in the middle of the race, in a 60 minutes race that would be from minute 25 to minute 35. Your crew chief will announce opening or closing the pits, and there is an onscreen message. Pitstops won't work outsinde that window as per regulations.

If everyting went correctly you'll see a glowing sqaure where your pit spot is. You need to park in there quite precisely and turn off your engine for the pitstop to start. Also, pitcrews have been removed with the latest update.

 

Thank you! I hope I won‘t have to play really 1 hour races to experience pitstops. Can you save your race-progress anytime and continue later?

 

I have done 30 minute sprint races which still have a pit window, so I guess it just happens in the middle of the race whatever the length is (not tested below 30 mins myself though).

 

How do I refuel during my pitstop? On the sprint races I've done so far I had to put all the fuel into the car at the beginning, because I haven't figured out how to refuel on my pitstop.

 

In Blancpain, cars only refuel during endurance races. Also, both qualifying sessions are done without refueling in-between.

EDIT: Does anyone elses phone keep correcting 'Blancpain' to 'Baldwin'!

 

Deleted . Double post.

 

So I gotta do one hour sprint races with around 100l of fuel?

 

Well, I was fairly sure about this, but now I'm doubting myself...

 

I just looked up a video of a sprint race from last year and there wasn't any refuelling during the pitstops, so you're right.

 

Phew!

 

Yes you need to fuel up for the whole race in sprint. The pit stop is for tires and driver swap even sprint races are driven with 2 drivers and there is a limit on stint time per driver. You can condense that 1 hour sprint into 30 minutes if you want then you would pit a out 15 minutes into the race. When they add endurance back in then you fuel up enough to last till the next pit stop. Helped me a lot to read the Blancpain rules on thier site as we don't really have this in the US.. Well we do but I never knew till recently because crap Nascar here lol.
My favorite is doing the 3hour endurance in 1 hour and pit in every 20 minutes. I hope that gets added back in soon
