Pit Stops

When to pit, Green and Yellow Flag stops, leaving the pits, restarts and the green restart line.

Choosing to pit

Pit stops happen in the end-of-turn sequence, after the Event. The First Player decides first which of their cars pit (none, some or all), then each player to the left, once around; a choice can’t be changed. The Event’s flag decides the procedure: Yellow → Yellow Flag pit, otherwise → Green Flag pit. Once any car has finished, nobody pits.

A pit stop removes every temporary marker — tires, fuel, blue suspension, gray body. Permanent markers stay.

Green Flag pit

Drop the car straight down to the Apron in its sector, then move it 5 spaces back along the Apron. Remove its temporary Wear.

Exiting the pits

Next turn the car is activated as usual, but:

• it moves the card’s small pit exit speed, with no speed penalty;
• it uses Solo movement — card type and text are ignored;
• it takes no Wear from the card;
• its first move must be sideways off the Apron, even if that costs 2 MPs to shove a car.

Yellow Flag pit

When the field has been lined up for a Yellow Flag restart, pitting cars drop straight down to the Apron — no moving back. Two cars from the same sector share an Apron space: the outside car goes on top, the inside car underneath. Remove their temporary Wear.

Blue #15 and Red #29 were in the same sector, so they share a pit space with #29 on top.

Yellow Flag restart

1. Put the leader on the inside restart lane of its sector.
2. Line up everyone else in running order as at the start: 2nd outside the leader, 3rd behind the leader, and so on. Lapped cars go at the back in order.
3. Remove the Lap-down markers — they won’t be removed this turn.
4. Make the Yellow Flag pit stops.
5. Cars that stayed out move up to fill the gaps.
6. Pitted cars rejoin the restart lanes behind all of them, in Apron order — the bottom car of a stack first.
7. A new leader (inside lane wins a tie) takes a Turn Leader marker.

#21 and #23 move up…

…and the three pitted cars rejoin behind them in Apron order. #15 goes inside because it was under #29.

Green restart line

On the last lap, if the leader is past the green line 8 spaces before the finish when a restart is called, line the field up as usual and then move it all back behind the green line, keeping the order.
