while pit lane closed

[scania]

can I park the car before the pit entry line to wait the pit open?

I don't see why not. You're not actually in pit line ;)

It's not a good idea, because by the time pit lane opens, the field would come around and lap you. Best to stay with the field and go in the first chance you see it open.
