Just hire a pit crew for a huge amount of money, then you never have to go to a gas station, or change wheels at the tire store, and you never have to see a mechanic for anything
In Motorsport, everything is engineered to be efficient. Easy access, easy and fast work as possible. They have reserve parts for everything. Your mechanic needs to purchase your brake discs, calipers and etc. It takes from 2 to 3 to be delivered and 20 to 35 minutes for the brake system to be changed (depends on the car) every car is different.
The main reason for this method is speed and the byproduct is reliability. When your only job is to undo 2 or 3 bolts and hook up 1 line it makes your job pretty easy/foolproof. Plus they practice alot and only move about 90% of what's possible to ensure no mistakes. (Pit stop rule of thumb basically) The pressure in the moment isn't too bad in reality, they're very focused. After the fact they might be bitting their nails tho lol
These brakes are designed to be removed easier than a damn wheel. It’s not so impressive when you realise they’re designed to be changed so fast. Still incredible how it can be done though
@@rotorblade9508 depends on the brake compound they use on the pads. Essentially the trade-off is that more aggressive pads stop the car better but eat away at the rotors faster and also wear themselves down faster. Whilst a less aggressive pad will not be as effective but it'll give you more time before it wears out. Brakes are actually a huge part of strategy in these races.
@@tylercooper6888 it wasn't even that, they only had one brake rotor in stock, and it took 5 hours to get another one from another subaru dealership 15 minutes away.
@@randipoling635 Ngl that's subaru for you... I was waiting for them to replace a single fucking bushing on a Kia Optima (It was a Kia/Subaru shop, so combined place), and I had to wait there for 3 hours for them to diag it and replace the part.

Trans was supposed to show up at shop about... Wednesday? It's still not there. We don't know where the trans is. Reee.
Haha I have a special vise just for that, but yea that tool is what made the difference. It looks like just 5 bolts for the disc, and 2 for the calipers, which is not too difficult when they are designed to be changed out

Dang it, this bolt is all rusty and stuck. Hey what the hell, these new rotors are for a different model or something. Crap, did that brake-line just kink?
If you ever get a chance search for V8 supercar brake change. They have a compulsory brake change in the longer races so they can do pads in 15s and pads and calipers in under 25s.
Ye same here, u see them on f1 cars too, I always assumed they were just radio antenna just seemed soo strange for racing cars to have petot tubes on them to measure air speed.
They're more accurate readings than measuring wheelspeed. You could be going 220 MPH in a car, but the speedometer (which measures wheelspeed) will tell you that you're doing 210.
Smiler Entertainment That doesn’t really make sense... Cars are always tuned to show you a higher speed than you are going (road cars at least). So you wont go 220 when your car shows you 210. also wheel speed is way more accurate than air speed. Air speed changes with wind. If you are in a headwind the pitot will give you a higher speed readout. I believe the reason they use pitot tubes is for something different than speed, maybe engine management or aerodynamics.
@@bassmunk It isn't far off from being able to be done on a street car. If you have a new caliper, bracket, pads, and a rotor all as an assembly ready to go, all you have to do is remove the wheel, disconnect the hydraulic hose and the 2 bolts holding the caliper bracket on and slide the entire thing right off and slide the new one on. You can have the caliper pre-filled with fluid to expedite bleeding. Once the wheel is off, only three bolts need to be removed and reinstalled in order to do the swap. This is probably how they assemble these things on a production line.
@@paulstandaert5709 you need some fast connector to do this, but it's still doable. Other problem is that in roadcars usually brakes are dirty, bolts are hard to untight so you need use your "umph x3". btw. I want that pneumatic lifting system from Le Mans cars ;).
The commentator at the end was wrong about the number 67 Ford which took 1:09s for a brake change. You can clearly see the pit crew changing the tires only on that particular car at the beginning of the video
I imagine that the old rotors coming off had been changed so recently they come off no problem and you don’t gotta thread a screw through them to push them off like on most cars. Having the rotors with the callipers and pads together already, and then basic mechanic knowledge with the intent of switching them as fast as you can, would make me think a lot of people or mechanics could do these that quick. I do recognize tho that this is their job and it is impressive how fast they do these jobs. Practice makes perfect.
Naah Chief I'm searching for the same answer. maybe some sort of easy release check valve that only goes into " check valve mode" when the line is disconnected.
and theres me doing brake change on my own in half an hour, but thats ingenius design taking the whole rotor with calliper all together. more cars should be like that
@@goukenslay7555 that means flushing the fluid earlier, replacing all the line fittings with dry break fittings, bleeding everything beforehand, and bedding in every set before hand. These changes go fast not because they take the rotor and loaded caliper off all at once, but because of what they do during the week, and the money they spend to have the components they need on hand. The rotors they buy are as thin as possible to save weight, so they are expected to be trash by the time the pads are trash. Not the the same on a street car. They may go through 3 or 4 sets of pads before the rotor is too thin. The fluid is flushed and bled AT LEAST once a week during the season/preseason. Not so on a road car. That fluid is designed to last at least a year or more since it shouldn't see the same heat as the race fluid. The chemistry isn't even the same due to hose, seal, piston, etc material makeup. So my point was ALL that would need to be changed, and then after that investment has been made, a person can just swap the entire rotor and loaded caliper all as one piece.
Haha I know it's a joke but these guys get salary like no other from Ford Racing / Porsche Racing to practice this for MONTHS just for the minute brake change.
They don’t! Quick release fittings like hydraulic lines. Always under pressure and always full of fluid As for the folks talking about their local mechanic-different bird, oh and they do not even want the expense of that system. My son was a part of Riley Motorsports a few years back and worked on the Viper teams (Car 93)
Ford #69 took 67ish seconds from fully stopped to moving again Porsche #91 took 47 seconds from fully stopped to moving again Porsche #92 we missed the first 10ish seconds based on how far along they were in the stop (using car 91 as reference), so that stop was 57ish seconds
I dont know what gloves pit crews use but my guess is that they use some sort of kevlar with light padding for comfort? Maybe its nomex instead of kevlar or even nylon. Either way, they seem amazing for the dexterity they provide, heat resistance, and cut resistance

1960's------ #fordvsferrari (the official in the background) "no no no you cannot do that... its against the rules"
2020's ------ We do that all the time!
Oh man this is the last Le Mans I was able to watch straight through.
Australian V8 supercars (Endurance race) - Tyres, fuel, disks and calipers 34 seconds.
Me:Sooo when can i come pick it up?
Regular mechanics:"give it two to three hours yours is the only car in the back right now so it shouldn't be much longer than that. You're lucky!"
Lemans mechanics:"uhhh we've been done were just waiting for the transaction to complete itself..."
Dang it, this bolt is all rusty and stuck. Hey what the hell, these new rotors are for a different model or something. Crap, did that brake-line just kink?
Story of my life hahaha
Oh boy....
I need to wait a week for my brake repair. These guys can do it in a few minutes
If you ever get a chance search for V8 supercar brake change. They have a compulsory brake change in the longer races so they can do pads in 15s and pads and calipers in under 25s.

I didn’t know race cars use pitot tubes I thought they were just for aircraft
Ye same here, u see them on f1 cars too, I always assumed they were just radio antenna just seemed soo strange for racing cars to have petot tubes on them to measure air speed.
They're more accurate readings than measuring wheelspeed. You could be going 220 MPH in a car, but the speedometer (which measures wheelspeed) will tell you that you're doing 210.
These cars basically are aircraft if you think about it 🤔
@@joshuasmith4916 Especially the Mercedes-Benz CLR.
Smiler Entertainment That doesn’t really make sense... Cars are always tuned to show you a higher speed than you are going (road cars at least). So you wont go 220 when your car shows you 210. also wheel speed is way more accurate than air speed. Air speed changes with wind. If you are in a headwind the pitot will give you a higher speed readout. I believe the reason they use pitot tubes is for something different than speed, maybe engine management or aerodynamics.
Corvette changed theirs in 12 secs under the race
12? That's crazy! Is that from wheel off to wheel on?
Dont think i was 12 secs. But Magnussens Corvette were definitely under 30 secs
Ok, that makes more sense. If only they made them like this for normal street cars. This wud be great for my Jetta
@@bassmunk It isn't far off from being able to be done on a street car. If you have a new caliper, bracket, pads, and a rotor all as an assembly ready to go, all you have to do is remove the wheel, disconnect the hydraulic hose and the 2 bolts holding the caliper bracket on and slide the entire thing right off and slide the new one on. You can have the caliper pre-filled with fluid to expedite bleeding.
Once the wheel is off, only three bolts need to be removed and reinstalled in order to do the swap. This is probably how they assemble these things on a production line.
@@paulstandaert5709 you need some fast connector to do this, but it's still doable.
Other problem is that in roadcars usually brakes are dirty, bolts are hard to untight so you need use your "umph x3".
btw. I want that pneumatic lifting system from Le Mans cars ;).
Ford pioneered fast brake changes at Le Mans. Porsche perfected it.
The commentator at the end was wrong about the number 67 Ford which took 1:09s for a brake change. You can clearly see the pit crew changing the tires only on that particular car at the beginning of the video
It was the #69 ford that changed brake not the #67
I get its quick couplers, but it amazes me how you can swap those without getting air in the system at all
I imagine that the old rotors coming off had been changed so recently they come off no problem and you don’t gotta thread a screw through them to push them off like on most cars. Having the rotors with the callipers and pads together already, and then basic mechanic knowledge with the intent of switching them as fast as you can, would make me think a lot of people or mechanics could do these that quick. I do recognize tho that this is their job and it is impressive how fast they do these jobs. Practice makes perfect.
Anyone that is capable with their hands could do it with a weekend of training. Maybe a few seconds slower on average but pretty bloody close.
@@unbiasedcobra6672 yea
I'm just curious, if they put on new calipers dont they have to bleed them as well?
I was wondering how they did that as well. im very interested to know how they swap the line without getting air in it
@@codeybean the systems aren't entirely fluid based. i can't go into specifics about how it works cause i dont actually know, but that i do know
Only thing I can come up with it’s a air brake system? like big trucks so no fluid loss or air bubbles to make them squishy when hitting the brakes
Naah Chief I'm searching for the same answer. maybe some sort of easy release check valve that only goes into " check valve mode" when the line is disconnected.
They have special connectors that are airtight. So fluid based brake system still
I love how the Ford GT is #69.
Man I’d love to race at Le Mans
and theres me doing brake change on my own in half an hour, but thats ingenius design taking the whole rotor with calliper all together. more cars should be like that
Any car can if they are willing to pay for the parts.
@@slowpoke96Z28 well your already doing a brake pad change do change the rotor as well.
@@goukenslay7555 that means flushing the fluid earlier, replacing all the line fittings with dry break fittings, bleeding everything beforehand, and bedding in every set before hand. These changes go fast not because they take the rotor and loaded caliper off all at once, but because of what they do during the week, and the money they spend to have the components they need on hand. The rotors they buy are as thin as possible to save weight, so they are expected to be trash by the time the pads are trash. Not the the same on a street car. They may go through 3 or 4 sets of pads before the rotor is too thin. The fluid is flushed and bled AT LEAST once a week during the season/preseason. Not so on a road car. That fluid is designed to last at least a year or more since it shouldn't see the same heat as the race fluid. The chemistry isn't even the same due to hose, seal, piston, etc material makeup. So my point was ALL that would need to be changed, and then after that investment has been made, a person can just swap the entire rotor and loaded caliper all as one piece.
Porsche? Huh, i expected nothing less.
so were gonna ignore the awkward guy pretending to know what hes talking about at 2:06

No it didn't

If my mechanic won't change the brakes and tires while I get a coffee I'll show him this video and tell him "What Gives"?
Haha I know it's a joke but these guys get salary like no other from Ford Racing / Porsche Racing to practice this for MONTHS just for the minute brake change.
meanwhile at Pepboys..”we’ll have you set and ready in 3 days for $349.89 bro”
How do they bleed the brakes that quick?
Quick connect fittings. No pressure loss.
They don’t! Quick release fittings like hydraulic lines. Always under pressure and always full of fluid
As for the folks talking about their local mechanic-different bird, oh and they do not even want the expense of that system.
My son was a part of Riley Motorsports a few years back and worked on the Viper teams (Car 93)
@@coypatton3160 Yes I have seen said system, much like the Hydraulic couplers on a farm tractor, but much more precise.
That pig is changing brakes😂😂
That's awesome, and the driver was laughing after - even he realized how ridiculous that was
Very clever engineering and intense practice
Even then some have it some dont......
how do they bleed the system ?
Power bleeder.
@@shineything4444 where ist the power bleeder atached ?
Christian I think announcer said they have dry break lines
It's quick release lines. The whole caliper is already filled with brakefluid.
and there is me. hammering on the disc for 10 min straight and it won't budge

Ken miles must be proud
With a quick disconnect it's two bolts and a clip. The impressive part is that the components are freakin' hot.
Porsche is the best ever for a reason
This is amazing,i even wonder how they bleed the brake fluid.?and i need those gloves
Dayum that new Ford GT is beautiful
Ford #69 took 67ish seconds from fully stopped to moving again
Porsche #91 took 47 seconds from fully stopped to moving again
Porsche #92 we missed the first 10ish seconds based on how far along they were in the stop (using car 91 as reference), so that stop was 57ish seconds
I dont know what gloves pit crews use but my guess is that they use some sort of kevlar with light padding for comfort? Maybe its nomex instead of kevlar or even nylon. Either way, they seem amazing for the dexterity they provide, heat resistance, and cut resistance
Porsche: 32 seconds to change brakes and tires
Me: two hours to recharge my rc car I got from Walmart 😂
Look at that beautiful Ford GT
Hey guys,Chris fix here!
