Racing motorbikes, with the exception of the Isle of Man TT are only allowed one pit stop and that is to change from wet tyres to slicks if the race is declared a wet race from the start - not including endurance races - if a race is declared to be dry at the start and it rains, the race is stopped until the weather clears up and it is then restarted, on slicks.

In Formula 1, mid-race refueling is currently not permitted by the regulations, and cars make pit stops with the primary purpose of changing tires. Teams sometimes also make adjustments to the front and rear wings and perform minor repairs, most commonly replacing the nose and front wing assembly. Pit strategies generally call for between one and three scheduled stops, depending on the circuit.
Teams want to minimize the number of pit stops so their cars can remain in the race.
