I was watching Speed channel last night and they were talking about the history of the "Safety Car" in Formula 1. Up on the screen pops an interview with the original Safety Car driver from the '70's. Behind him, models of a signal orange 914 Safety Car... Then pictures of him driving the car back in the day... I guess the original F1 Safety Car was a 914/6... Nowadays, it is an AMG MB with 500+HP... Good company I think!

Can you be more specific about which show it was on? I don't see a historical F1 show from last night. Could it have been the historical section of "Inside Grand Prix"? Usually show towards the end of the program.

It was 10;30 to 11:00 my time here in Californication on Comcast... I seldom watch TV but the FI thing caught my eye. It was a section in the show. Just before that they were doing a driver focus on Williams and a Japanese guy... |

This car is an original GT that was one of the Monte Carlo Rallie cars. Then converted to a Safety/FireCar
T.C.      It is now restored back to GT form  |

I saw it too and thought "how cool ws that!" |

I don't watch that much TV but that was a treat. We need the segment in the video files here if we could get it... |

I'll save it on the HD DVR. Maybe some day I'll get it off of there and into a file suitable for uploading. This box is brand new and I haven't tried to get into yet and may never. But we'll see...
