#117462 - poor english & too specific Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Sorry for my poor english.
I meant the building next to the track, where the teams have their "garages" during the race (ground floor of course); the device in question was sitting above it on the 1st floor (where the management had its offices). We call the "garages" "box" and as it is an english word, I used it automatically. I think the proper expression is "pit" (as in "pit-stop" for tyres change or so). There is a couple of words of english origin (or of latin/french/german/anything origin but with similar word in english) in our language with somewhat different meaning, using it in english in the improper way it always sounds very funny...
