Why would anyone do that outside of a formula one race?

[-] notun@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Situations where you can't really turn your engine off. Like I once had my car battery die and after a friend jumpstarted it, I was gonna go drive around for a bit to charge the battery but then I realized my gas tank was completely empty. So I had to fill it up while it was running.

A rare situation for sure, but it's at least one reason.

FYI Formula 1 banned refueling during races in 2010.

Oh that’s news to me. Didn’t follow it for a while.

Even F1 doesn’t take on any fuel during pit stops these days.
