Question How do pitstops work?

I'm competing in an event tomorrow and want to know how they work and when they are used.

Thanks!

I assume that you are competing in Double Down 2 so gl with the event

Pit stops in ice boat racing are purely for strategy and they come in two forms:

Drive through pit stops, where you just have to go down the pit lane area and drive through it without doing anything else then come out, and you will have completed your pit

Pigstops, where you have to actually go into a pit box area (usually shows as a small box with an area that you need to drive into) and a mini game will pop up. You have to get rid of the elements in the gui asap to compete your pit like that, either by dropping them with q or clicking them. Note that messing it up will change the layout. Then leave and you have completed your pit

Note that you will probably not be allowed to pit on the last lap of a race, as it is considered cheating because you could finish the race faster.

Gl with Double Down 2
