    Actually, you can. Since the older tracks don't have a clear division between the race surface and pit lane (eg no pit wall) we couldn't use the standard pit code. So, to deal with this situation, we had to implement something different for these historic tracks.

    When you want to/have to make a pit stop you MUST use the "Request Pit" key ('s' by default) any time during the lap in which you'll come into the pit. We know these cars didn't have radios, etc., but this was the best way to deal with the issue. If you don't request a pit your pit stall will NOT be available to you.

    We recommend, if you have a controller button to spare, that you map this key to it for faster access...

    For modern tracks you don't have to do this. That said, you get faster pit service if your crew has time to prepare for your arrival, so it's best to request one anyway. Also, if someone else is currently using your pit stall then you'll save yourself a trip to pit lane...
