How to refuel, pit on the F1 team server tracks.
The server provides F1 style tracks that are set to 6 laps*, you will need to refuel at the end of lap 3 (or lap 4 if you dare!). At the start of the map you will be given 4 minutes of fuel so you will need to refuel at least once.
How to refuel/pit:
Go to the pit area and do a full stop (speed = 0) between/nearby the stakes, or the yellow markers of the pit, to refuel. The pit entry as the pit itself should be clearly indicated on the track. They are usually located near the finish line (also check out the slideshow on pit layouts below). The refueling mechanism will either tell you the pit was succesfull or you will need to keep an eye on your fuel gage (once the gage starts going up your pit was succesfull).
Never leave the pit without refueling or leave the pit by the pit entry or you are in trouble!
(You will have to refuel/pit again in that case.)

If you fail to refuel you will not be able to continue racing, your screen will slowly turn black so you can't see where you are going. In that case you must respawn (enter) to the last checkpoint you passed and you will be given enough fuel to reach the pit. You can do this only once before you pit! Not refueling then will mean you are out of the race (DNF).
There are several authors that provide maps for the server so you can expect to find differences in pit layout and respawning mechanisms (Moggius maps).

Respawning mechanisms:
- Standard; (maps made by the F1team) if you respawn you will get a penalty (=pit stop), your fuel is set to a level so that you can reach the pit.
- Moggius maps; if the author of the map is Moggius the track is designed in such a way that you can respawn without a penalty but your fuel will remain the same.
Pit layouts:
You can find different pit layouts and their pit entry in this slide show so you will know what to expect.

* On Saturday, training day for the Open Race you will find 3 training tracks where you will have to race 10 laps. You will be given 7 minutes of fuel at the start and will have to refuel/pit once.
* The open race itself is a race of 30 laps, you will be given 10 minutes of fuel at the start so you will have to refuel/pit twice at least!
