did he put on a 5th lug nut on the front wheel that fell off when he put the tire on? sure didn't look like it.

Yea there is nothing factory about that Mustang. All custom fabricated parts and all.
And yes I am well aware of F1 pit stops. There are many videos comparing various motorsports pit stops, I have witnessed a bunch in my day.

Good stuff.. Curious what mods they have on that GT4 Stang..

I think I saw 2 lugs fall off. It did look like he picked both up and got them on there.

Or F1 and the sub 2 second stops. Of course we have to take their word they changed the tires since there are so many "men" doing the stop you can't actually see the car.

it's a different style pit stop. Usually, they're limited in the number of over the wall workers, and they're limited on fuel flow rate. They can't pack the car full of fuel in 12 seconds, like you can in NASCAR, so they take their (relative) time with the other tasks. That said, the front tire change was pretty sloppy. Those captive nuts shouldn't have come off when he put the tire on.

It looks like hella fun to drive. That guy was definitely struggling with the front wheel. Needs a bit more practice.

Here are the specs for the GT4 race car.

At a Tire Center or Dealership - god no...

Those Techs can’t even carefully R&R tires for tire replacement, brake jobs or (insert X here) without F’n up the surface of the rim, lug recesses and the lugs (especially BLACK rims) when it takes them an HOUR just to do it in normal fashion.

Imagine them trying to do an F1 tire R&R, you’d be lucky to have any wheels on straight and any painted rim surface left, let alone all lugs in place...
