Seems we going dead in here :(
Showing timed pit stop on screen would also allow for iGP to control the length of time the pit stops takes easier. Fixed time for pit stop adding mistakes by the crew & problems like fuel hose getting stuck or a wheel gun failure or stuck wheel nut.
300s of a second lost here and there, though annoying could happen very easily. Even the best trained crews hit problems at some point.
been that long since I have seen my pit crew mess up I don't know how long a messed up pit stop takes
but a stuck wheel nut could cost 0.295 seconds
stuck fuel hose 0.310 seconds
broken wheel gun 0.456 seconds
so instead of normal 4.3 pit stop you might see 4.756 cause of broken wheel gun. :)
What about front wing changes I have seen that happen in a race but not to me
As I B pointed out time lost over shooting pit box & hitting front Jack person

Change tyres approximatively 3-4 seconds, fuel loading start at same time and 1 second per 15L so if load 60L pit stop should be 4-5seconds
2.345-2.410seconds to change just tyres alone.
3.152-3.256seconds to change just tyres and front wing.
so 4.445-4.510 pretty much spot on for fuel & tyres in my opinion.
Time this BMW Sauber practice pit stop https://youtu.be/pKnQrAK5IiM
