New Safety Car in Formula 1

[Pandamasque]

Someone do me a favor a Photoshop on a light bar and some F1 decals.

Mclaren orange - also good for visibility.

Have you seen it racing? That's the most crash-happy car I remember. And when it rains they drop like flies! One of them even crashed at '3 hours of Monza' this year during the wet start under the safetycar!

If you want to go for something safe in all conditions, I'd suggest a 911 Turbo (with AWD). But I'd rather have some entertainment during the SC periods. How about keeping the SLS, making Bernd drift it through every corner while being on fire!

Mercedes has announced SLS AMG GT-a small upgrade, let's say. I'm not saying it will set the world on fire, but it is the most plausible thing for Safety Car we will see next season.



It produces 591bhp which is 20hp more than the standard model and does naught to 60 in 3.7 seconds which makes it a tenth of a second faster.

Not the GT3 mclaren, the normal road going one with the fancy suspension etc

Existing safety car is well suited for Formula 1

maybe a car with a downforce fan bolted on it would mean higher cornering speeds (to keep tires warm) and it would dry the racing line at the same time (the fan exit would have to send air to the sides of the car otherwise the spray would be a problem.

I think it should be a Dodge Charger to represent the US's historical love of F1...wait, I have something wrong here...

just keep the SLS and the C63 AMG, best cars for the job

Better with a straight pipe.

I had an inkling it might've been tongue in cheek; but in written communication you can never know...

Why don't they just use one of the 599xx's or 599xx Evoluziones?? Just kidding! But really...I'm sure they could fit one to the task

I'm thinking maybe a Corvette ZR1 would be a little better suited if it was going to be an American car. But there is really no reason for it to be, the Mercs make sense since they have the wagon for the medical car.

american cars don't go round corners that well and ferraris are just rubbish, Keep it as the SlS AMG, and the C63 AMG, but if they wana swap the SLS then chose the MP4-12C

Not a bad looking Safety car...
