    To whom it may concern at R3E,

    Inquiring about how to perform pit stops, i.e. charge up the battery.
    I did perform a pit stop test: Requested a pit stop, requested "safe" battery charge" and even tried a request to charge the battery up to 95%, but the pit stop seem to last forever, waited 600 seconds, then I finally gave up, not sure if the pitstop is meant to be that long (estimated pitstop time always says 0s).
    There's also nothing in the car setup to determine how long a charge with take us, thus we cannot determine when we'll run out of charge.
    Any clarifications would be greatly appreciated.
    Best regards,
    MH

    Another issue to look at, is the sounds when the battery change is happening. Normal refueling sounds are being played when the battery swap is supposed to be happening. Maybe the Seat pit crew has some next level skills we don't know about?

    You need to activate the pit stop action so it's actually being carried out by clicking on it in the pit stop presets menu.

    And you need to turn the ignition off, don't forget that.
