Order of Pit Bays

[Terry S]

In Australian Supercars racing the order of Pit Bay allocation is that the top scoring team from the previous year takes up the last Pit Bay in pit lane, i.e. the one closest to the exit.

I recall reading recently the arguments as to why this Pit Bay is so important.

Then looking at the Baku GP on the weekend I was reminded that they use the complete opposite basis, the top team from previous year has the very first Pit Bay in pit road. This was evident when Hamilton stopped.

Why the difference in approaches?

Is one right and the other wrong?

For consideration
