04 · PIT WALL

BOX IS A TACTICAL INSTRUCTION.

When Ayrton says “Box this lap”, the stop is part of the active strategy.

THREE CASES

KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN THE PITS.

01

FUEL STOP

BOX THIS LAP is a direct call. The percentage is the total fuel target you should reach while refueling.

RADIO · BOXLIVE CHANNEL
AYRTON · ENGINEER

“Box this lap. Fuel to twenty-six percent.”

02

STOP WITH NO FUEL REQUIRED

If the remaining distance and finish reserve are already covered, an external stop does not mean you must add fuel.

RADIO · TYRES ONLYLIVE CHANNEL
AYRTON · ENGINEER

“Tyres only. We don't need fuel.”

03

DRIVER-DECLARED STOP

You report a change in race context. Ayrton recalculates whether it is useful to add fuel during that stop.

RADIO · NEW CONTEXTLIVE CHANNEL
MAX · DRIVER

“Ayrton, I'm coming in for tyres.”

AYRTON · ENGINEER

“Understood. Since we're stopping, fuel to twenty-six percent.”

RACE AUTHORITY

GT7 CONFIRMS THE STOP.

Saying you are coming in does not mark the stop as complete. GT7 telemetry remains authoritative: Driver Instinct waits for real pit evidence before replanning from the new state.

  • Fuel available.
  • Distance remaining.
  • Pit opportunity.
  • Finish reserve required.
