RE Amemiya Hurricane RX7 pit stop WTAC 2014

Check out this very professional operation adjusting aero, changing tyres and preparing to chase down last years 1.27 lap time.

Guys, this isn't a NASCAR Pit stop, this is Time Attack.. There's no real rush to get the driver back out there considering they're just looking for the fastest Lap of the day. It's more important to make sure shits correct rather then rush.. Regardless of that, they looked like amateur Pit guys no doubt, but most likely professional car builders full time.

beobe99 because, murka.

[@1dirty7]

Wow these guys are pros. That's like a 20 min oil change.

Mercedes, Silver arrows watch out !

[@davidwpinkston4226]

they are just practicing, right?

[@CYI2US]

No the event is based on the fastest lap time so they can take as much time as they like within their session to prepare. At this level they have around three laps of optimum tyre grip before needing to pit and change tyres again.

[@madeulook5421]

What a joke

[@datbassification]

I dont quite think you understand time attack....

[@autoparts3217]

How many minutes are they allowed for pit stop? They seem frantically rushing around and quite disorganized. I notice many comments defending the pit crew, stating that they have no hurry since its a time attack competition and this is not like a nascar or indy or formula one or other type race where time is critical, but they do seem a bit disorganized and unprepared.

[@CYI2US]

There is no time limit but they only have a certain amount of sessions which are timed. They generally wait for a clear track to put down a quick time without being interrupted by traffic

[@autoparts3217]

Any idea, how they placed in the competition? 1st, 2nd, 3rd ... top 10?

[@CYI2US]

+autoparts321 This was taken during the 2014 WTAC The RE Amemiya RX7 finished 5th with 1:27.3410. The winning time was the Tilton Racing EVO with a 1:24.8412

[@Catbus-Driver]

Could be wrong, so dont tear me a new one if so but I thought they sold the Hurricane to a private buyer? This team looks rather new to working on the car and in a box in general. So no hate on the unorganized stop.

[@1dirty7]

Lol what f$&&&& disaster.

[@millerchassis6119]

nice set up guys

[@warpiggy23]

I cant believe they are only using advan A048's that's a street tire. What are the restrictions on this series?

[@robertmerritt5078]

warpiggy23 Has to be a treaded street legal tire. A lot of people choose Hanook semi slicks as well

[@naughtyghostx]

sponsor by yokohama, so only advan neova are used, ad08r for most class or the other i think it call as05(not familiar with tire code) for pro/pro am/open class

[@madeulook5421]

Mate I understand pit stop better than you think and that's just a unorganised mess, tripping over each other, nobody seems to be practised in what the hell they are trying to do. So yes it a JOKE hahahahah

[@patw52pb1]

This pit crew definitely needs massive improvement in leadership, duty assignments, coordination, choreographing, communications, equipment, timing, knowledge, training and apparently a lot more practice. Too many crew members just standing around like groupies or spectators not knowing what to do next.

[@robertmerritt5078]

patw52pb1 This is 1 lap racing they arent trippin
