Tyre change and refuelling within four seconds: in the IndyCar Series is the rule rather than the exception. That we can now closely follow via Google Glass.

No one looks at there more of on that drivers within a few seconds, and then on the road with fresh rubber and a full tank. The pitcrews are extremely well trained and have to perform under tremendous pressure, because every tenth of a second counts at the end of the race.

The IndyCar team Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing put racing driver Graham Rahal and the pitcrew a Google Glass and filmed so from multiple perspectives what it takes to be a streamlined pit stop. Might be a good idea to broadcast the boring Formula 1 races to freshen up?
