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.

This is probably one of the most amazing crashes in racing history and it didn’t have to happen because there were many warnings. You see, at the Thursday qualifying session before the 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans, current F1 driver for Red Bull-Renault, Mark Webber, flipped his #4 Mercedes-AMG CLR. The car was repaired and poor Mark was sent out again only to flip ( http://www.mulsannescorner.com/benzCLR1.html ) spectacularly on Saturday practice before the race at the hump before the Mulsanne corner. This time the car was totaled. The CLR’s aerodynamic development was not fully completed and to make things worse, the rear wing was lowered to increase their top speed. So after the crash, the CLR’s were given front winglets and sent off to complete their infamous destiny. Just before nightfall, the #5 CLR driven by Peter Dumbreck flipped fantastically 3 times and crashed in the woods just before the Indianapolis corner.
