hi guys, i have a question and i hope you can help me!? -Wich Le Mans winner owns the record in spending lowest overall time in the pitlane at the 24 hours? -How much of this time (in %) was needed for changing tires?  i think it was a Porsche (maybe the GT1 in '98?) but i'm not sure.  hope you can help me and please excuse my bad english! |

I'm pretty sure the 2000 winning Audi spent very little total time in the pits. How long exactly will need a bit more Googling / research.

Shouldn't this thread be called "Out of pit record"?

I'd venture Mazda 727B #55 in the '91 race. It had a totally trouble free run Just tyres, pads, fuel and a dash of oil on the last two stops. Explains the outright win over MercBenz, who were faster but had cooling and transmission woes.

The 1981 winning Porsche 936/81 of Ickx & Bell might be another candidate, the car ran trouble free for the 24 hours, just routine stops for fuel, tires, oil & pads.

thanks for the great suggestions!  I found out that the winning R8 drivers in 2002 only spend a total time of 20 minutes in the pitlane. Could that be true? Sounds very short to me! I already googled my a** off but it was the only overall time i found.  Does anyone exactly know how many pit stops they did? |

Correct - 767 - Thanks Brushy - it's been a long day. Couldn't help noticing you are from York. I lived in a little village called Green Hammerton back in mid 70's and made Smarties on the night shift at Rowntrees for a couple of years. Lots of miles on the clock since then! Beautiful city - great pubs - fond memories. Sorry to go all nostalgic and off topic, deerhunter....
