Pit stop

A brief scheduled or unscheduled stop during a race for service or repairs, usually in a designated pit lane or service area.

Pit lane: A restricted lane beside a race circuit where cars enter for service and rejoin the track. Cars leave the racing line to reach crews and equipment in a controlled area.
Refueling: The transfer of fuel into a vehicle's tank. Some racing series permit or require fuel service during a stop.
Drive-through penalty: A racing penalty requiring a driver to pass through the pit lane without stopping for service. It uses the pit lane but does not count as a service stop.
Undercut (motorsport): A strategy of stopping earlier than a rival to gain time on fresher tires after the rival stops. A fast stop can make an early tire change translate into track position.
Wheel gun: A powered wrench designed to rapidly loosen and tighten wheel fasteners. Its speed and reliability directly affect how quickly wheels can be changed.
Tire strategy: The selection and timing of tire compounds or changes to balance grip, durability, and race position. Tire choices made during stops shape pace and stint length.
Safety car: A course vehicle that controls the pace of a race during a dangerous situation. A safety-car period can reduce the time lost by stopping for service.
Overcut (motorsport): A strategy of staying on track longer than a rival who has stopped, aiming to gain time before stopping later. It exploits circumstances in which delaying service beats stopping first.
Formula One tire change: A coordinated Formula One service operation that removes and replaces all four tires. It is the defining rapid-service task in modern Formula One stops.
NASCAR pit stop: A stock-car racing stop involving services such as tire changes, refueling, and repairs. NASCAR rules and oval-racing demands create a distinctive stop format.
