pit box
Explanation:
Asker hasn't given enough context to permit proper differentiation between 'pits' (the whole area where cars are refuelled, repaired, etc.) and an individual team's 'pit box', which is their 'personal' workshop area within the 'pits'.

IOW, the Portuguese 'boxes', plural, is 'the pits'; 'a 'box', singular, is a 'pit box'.
