JimboCycling should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
A bit late to this but nonetheless...
At Bathurst, I understood that GruppeM were allowed to simultaneously refuel and change tyres in their last pit stop. I think the modem change was also done at the same time.

I would see two possible scenarios;
1. Doing fuel then tyres takes less time than than the modem change. In this case, the modem change is the limiting factor, so allowing fuel and tyres simultaneously makes no difference.
2. Doing fuel then tyres takes more time than than the modem change. In this case, fuel and tyres should have been the limiting factor, so being allowed to do them simultaneously gave GruppeM an advantage relative to a normal pit stop.

Does anyone know which of these it was, or if I'm missing something?
