Of course Audi & Pug mechanics have had that kind of helmets for a while now also, but I remember that like around 2008 many were still wearing only balaclavas. I thought was nonsensical when at the same time the tire gun rule was changed in the name of safety.
That photo was taken on Saturday I guess, during a pit stop practice. The mob behind have no suits nor tabards. I did not see any umbrellas in the pit lane on Sunday

I agree that it is pointless to simulate pit stops without wearing all the mandated gear..........but Toyota are newish to the endurance game.
