The problem is Flying Lizard can't get the refueling nozzle into the bent hood.

I would say pit with 10 minutes to go, but yes something like that. Hindhaugh timed it as 1:20 for a full stop, which i think is a good estimate. So without tire change, and just a splash of fuel, you would need around 45 seconds gap. Very tight this race!

So either change tires and gain 15 secs or stick and have fight McNish on old ones at the end!

But if the Peugeot does not take tires either that's another 10 - 15 seconds extra advantage for them. That might well be a smart move because that could get them ahead McNish.

The 14 second estimate is apparently the amount of time from pit entrance to the Audi pit, that doesn't include the brief shot to the pit exit and the long way around Turn 1.

Peugout lost 55 seconds on a full fuel stop. McNish needs a splash, so he needs around 45-50 seconds.

All Montagny would need to do is clock in some 1:44s now.... but he keeps on posting slow times... they´re so close!

I'm afraid the tyres of the Peugeot will damage.

McNish is magic. Really, his final stints has been absolutely amazing!

Montagny's tyres get worse and worse.

Correct. Apart from that silly spin, Bourdais has been the best driver in the 08.
