Pit-lane

The 'Pit-lane is an area of the track where tyre changes and refuelling occurs. In Gran Turismo 4, it is also the point at which a player can switch between A-Spec and B-Spec modes. In Gran Turismo 5, major damage can be repaired here.

Most circuits (except rally courses) have a pit-lane which runs alongside the start/finish straight. There are however, exceptions to this rule. The most notable one is at the Eiger Nordwand Short Track, where the pit-lane is located around a quarter of the way round the track. There are also several circuits without a pit-lane, for example, Top Gear Test Track, Special Stage Route 7 and Suzuka Circuit West. (See here for more).
