Do you think FM will ever incorporate 'Pit stops' in to the racing/events. Each track has a 'Pit Lane', but we can't drive in (even if we drive in to the pit entry part, there is a wall/guard rail blocking it up.

Here is my thinking, open up the pit lane (programming required) and during some of the races/events you have to make a pit stop by driving in to the pit lane. FM could make use the 'Launch' button on screen for the drag races they have like a default 'speed limiter' pit entry button. Once you press this button it goes into a preset pit stop mode (while others around you are racing or also pitting)

When you come back out of the pit lane you tap the button again to get back to racing speed.This could open up the game a lot more for strategy (ala you enter in 4th place, but after the pit stop you are in 12th) AI cars would also need to pit at some point...

E.g. Say on a 10 lap race and you have to make a pit stop during the race, when do you take it? on the 5th lap, 3rd or 7th? Given our cars take damage during a race it could also be used to sharpen up the car during the pit. (fuel, new set of tyres)

thoughts?...(sorry if this has been discussed B4 :)
