Pit box size?
Anyone know if there is an official (from FIA, for example) dimensions of each pit box? Or in other words, any minimum length that must be between each F1 car (for example) when they are both in the pits?

I've looked at FIA Appendix O, and don't recall having seen anything about the pit lanes specifically; Appendix H didn't mention anything particular either. So, as far as I'm aware, no, there's nothing official on it.
Actually, I'm surprised at how small the boxes at F1 tracks are, and at how narrow pit lanes are outside of North America. |

Nascar pit sizes are varied. The biggest are at the Auto Club Speedway (formerly California Speedway, at Fontana).

Actually, I'm pretty sure the biggest are at Pocono.

The pit boxes at Fuji Speedway are some of the largest on the F1 calendar as far as I know.

I can remember the CART-race in Assen. The already small pitlane (built for bikeracing) had to be even made smaller, due to the Americanstyle wall that had to be there.
