Unique Pit Stop Strategy for a Solo Racer
Ajith’s team took to X (formerly Twitter) to elaborate on how this one-driver setup would operate within the rules of the competition. GT4 regulations mandate a pit stop for driver swaps, and as the sole driver for his team, Ajith will have to exit and re-enter his vehicle, remaining outside the car for at least one second during each mandatory stop.
“This endeavour is undertaken with the primary goal of gaining valuable experience and honing skills in a highly competitive environment,” the team posted. They also shared a video of Ajith practising pit stop transitions, which is gaining traction on social media.
