    Have you seen Inside Grad-Prix Hungary ?

    They did "personal" with Kimi and showed him driving Mercedes SL and it looked like he wore a 4 point harness.

    Is 4 point harness an option on SL ? Or is it "Kimi-Edition" ? Mercedes cares about their top driver so much they don't want to risk it when he drives a street car ?

    If I am awake at 12:30 I'll watch Inside GP again - I didn't pay that much attention to the car this morning. Perhaps it's possibly a SL600 RennTech with the AMG package? 645 hp, top speed 200; V-12 bi-turbo, 780 lb torque, 1/4 mile in 11.4 at 125+ - nevertheless nice car. OR possibly a Brabus SV12 S with 730 hp??

    just caught the replay(12 midnite here in Central time), does appear to be a 'harness', not your father's typical shoulder seat belt.

    Bit hard to make out in the very short clip showing him in the car(good catch, there:) ), might be a funky shirt, but appears to be a 4 point belt.

    I still couldn't tell anything on the replay at midnight about the car but I'd be willing to bet it's not a "stock" SL600.

    Replay was a little late starting last night due to a nascar program which at the end had a really good interview with Chip Ganassi. He reiterated his phone call from Montoya - Chip said he was busy with something and would call him back later! The more I see of Chip in interviews, the more I like the guy. Now the question is who are the "driver mentor(s)" going to be - Chip isn't telling except that it will be "big" names.
