A "Pit Stop" is a brief pause during a race, primarily in motorsports like Formula 1 or NASCAR. During this time, teams perform essential tasks such as refueling, changing tires, and making minor repairs to the vehicle. These stops are crucial for maintaining the car's performance and ensuring the driver can compete effectively. Pit stops are typically very quick, often lasting only a few seconds. Teams practice extensively to minimize the time spent in the pit, as even a fraction of a second can impact the race outcome. Efficient pit stops can provide a significant advantage over competitors.
