Hawk, your photo says it all..."Welcome to Spa". Highly accurate!:)
 

In 2012, Mercedes-AMG upgraded the F1 2010 SLS AMG to the SLS GT and it didn't take long to log on the millage. This is a shot of the 2012 Belgian Grand Prix. The SLS GT was called out for the first time due to a huge crash that developed at turn one, seconds after starting the race. The Safety Car's purpose is to take up a position at the front of the race cars at a reduced speed until a hazardous condition has been eliminated. F1 cars have no radiator fans so these high-revving engines depend on the forced airflow while at speed. A normal car will not do, you'll need a capable car, driven by a capable driver (Bernd Mayländer, since 2000) to run in the track at up to 170 mph (274 km/h). This pace will maintain the F1 engines, brakes and tire temperatures at safe levels until the re-start.
