The control office. The command office. The war room. Here’s where you have the action before, during and after the races. Refueling, tire change, repairs, mechanical adjustments, race preparation, car tuning, adjustments to tire pressure, suspension settings, and devices to optimize the car's performance for the current conditions, understanding competitors' strategies. race teams plan a pit strategy prior to the start of every race, rate of fuel consumption, weight of fuel, cornering speed with each available tire compound, rate of tire wear, the effect of tire wear on cornering speed and even expected changes in weather and lighting conditions, et all happens here. Pit work is carried out by anywhere from five to eight mechanics (the pit crew).

The race strategy can provide or rob you a successful race. a team's pit strategy is not a fixed, immutable thing; it is subject to change during the race to take into account the unpredictable events that happen in every race.
