Pit stops in GT mode very slow

it would be nice if they gave us something though even a scripted sequence of the car progressing down the pit lane just watching the crew waiting there aimlessly for forty seconds always makes me question if the game is broken

also, if you select ‘don’t change’ the pit crew should not bring a set of tyres out.

no one would be complaining if they looked amazing.

Just done a GT3 stop at La Sarthe. No tyres, no fuel. It took 30 seconds to get to my pit box, but total time in pitlane was 34 seconds. It may seem a long time to get there, but as soon as you leave your pit box, you're back on track.
34 seconds to traverse the pit lane, complete with stop'n'go, at La Sarthe doesn't seem out of the ordinary to me.

I get that they're trying to bring things back closer to reality because at one point in GTS there were tracks you could be in and out with a tire change in less than 7 sec but it seems somewhat inconsistent. I just finished the Tsukuba mission and that stop seemed longer than it should be for where your car dissapears in the pit entrance. Granted, I didn't actually time it so take that for what it is.

There was a race i did where I lost three places ,AI may have only fuled enough to finish the race though
Yeah, it feels like the game is waiting for some sort of input at the refueling screen, then
times out and finally pits you. If there was a way to tell it how much fuel I needed without
waiting 30 seconds for my car to show up at the pit, I'd be fine.
Plus it seems like every track is the same. I'd like a little more realism in the length of time
it takes my car to get to the pit area based on how long it actually takes at the real track,
but I am guessing PD just went with a base time just to cut a few corners.

I think many here just see what they want to see and "feel" more than they really try to back it up with timed times.
1. The AI is NOT faster in the pits than them if they use the same car, also change tires or just not like the AI and fill up the same amount as them.
2. For those who haven't seen it yet.. There is a small dot above the level indicator of your tank. This point indicates how much you have to refuel to finish the race. If the point is now at around 50%, your fuel is enough to complete the remaining laps as long as your driving behavior and attitude towards fuel consumption do not change.
3. In the group c race last week you could see very well how many differences there are between individual drivers and vehicles when it comes to fuel consumption. Some drivers already had to refuel in lap 6-7 and only had less than 10-20% in the tank, others managed 8-10 laps before they refueled. Whether you then change tires or not also plays a major role.
4. Yes, the waiting time until the car is there is quite long, but this time is the same for everyone AND as soon as the car is ready, it is "teleported" to the end of the pit lane, where you only have to drive the last part of the exit .
It all seems very long, but due to the very hard speed limit, it is quite good overall.
After all, each team has its own box, but it's somewhere different every time, some would now only have to wait 5 seconds before the stop, but then 20 seconds until they see their car again and others now in the same race first 20 and then 5 seconds, it would sure to give more discussion.
In sport mode you can see that the times are definitely identical for the drivers.

And they may have fuel saved better than you, so they need to refuel less too.

In many races I drove into the pits almost at the same time as the AI and or other players, only changed tires when it was necessary, and only filled up the minimum amount of petrol.. And you know what, I am at the same time as the AI or other drivers came out. Differences of a few tenths of a second are completely normal and depend solely on when you stop refueling.
And whether the actual time in the game matches the time in real life doesn't really matter here, because... this time is always the same in the BOX IN THE GAME, so there is fairness. This time is then interesting when you drive long-distance races, when choosing the pit strategy, such as. at the 24h race a few days ago. Some have made 0 stops with fuel savings and others without fuel save a 1 stop strategy.

Are you kidding me or what?
Others here talk about "feeling" their pit stops are longer than the game's, which I'll confirm by saying that these players might be refueling more or just swapping tires and the AI or other players might not be doing that.
But under comparable conditions, other drivers or the AI are just as fast/slow as I am in the pits, which I prove by the fact that I often drive into the pits at the same time as others and the distances do not change.
You can test that very easily.
Create a race with let's say 10 laps and set the fuel consumption to 0, but tire wear is so high that even hard tires have to be replaced at least 1 time in the 10 laps.
Then no one has to refuel, but everyone has to change tires.
Now just put it in the box at the same time as the AI and you're done.
But you want to screw me here.. and I should prove that the times are the same? Those who say that they are not the same ergo claiming a bug/cheat in the game should first prove that something is wrong.

If only there was an element where each player is assigned a generic pit crew and can train them in different areas to for example:
Just something along those lines…
- Be faster
- Less error prone
- Communication
Just something along those lines…

Can't YOU understand?
If I repeat several times that in identical situations the AI vehicles or vehicles of other players are not faster or slower in the BOX than I am and the entry or exit is identical, i.e. if the car enters the BOX again exactly in front of me leaves the pits and that in different races, then that is a well-founded statement. What I'm supposed to prove to YOU now using any numbers is a mystery to me.
If others write that they lose countless places in the box because the AI is so much faster in the box, then the statement is either not correct and the "feeling" is wrong, or there were other differences (by the way, I already listed them). such as. the amount of fuel that can explain something like that.
But no advantage of the AI over normal players, as is assumed here.
