he 525-horsepower SL63 Safety Car will be driven by 36-year-old Bernd Mayländer, whose job is to lead laps quickly enough to prevent the mutli-million dollar race cars’ engines from overheating and brakes and tires from cooling excessively.
The 457 horsepower C63 AMG Estate Medical Car receives similar changes, where applicable, save for the lighter body panels and oil and fluid coolers, as speed and durability is less of a necessity. The Medical Car follows the race on the crash-prone first lap, then waits on the sidelines, ready to respond to emergenices.
The four-person team in the C63 is comprised of driver Dr. Jacques Tropenat (medic and amateur race driver), co-driver Dr. Gary Hartstein (official FIA Grand Prix Chief Medical Officer) and two medical assistants. The cargo area is stocked with all necessary emergency equipment, including a defibrillator and respirator.
Equipment fitted to both cars includes two monitors in the centre console to supervise happenings in the race, a two-way radio system, strobe, LED and safety lights as well as the F1 logos.
