Re: future F1 pit crew????
Hmmm neat trick.
No brakes or at least brake lines so the driver just waits for it to stop rolling. The motor has to be dry because even though they pull out and replace a radiator there is no coolant spill going in or out. No fuel tank either? Must be a cheater tank on the engine somewhere.
Very clever and entertaining stunt though.

Right there with you Pat...
They could have at least done a cable pulled parking brake. And they only spin the speed handles on the lugs about two turns. Could have made up 2-3 sec if they hadn't used their fingers. Those guys could learn a thing or two from any GrandAm, ALMS, Nascar, F1, SBRS crew...
