SLK32 Pace Car for DTM...

Was watching the German Touring Series today on Speedvision and noticed the SLK32 AMG as the pace car. The weather was wet and it was raining at the start of the race, yet the SLK32 still had its top down with the wipers on! Had to laugh, but got to love the Germans!

Ha, I wouldn't be surprised if the top was stuck down and the poor *******s couldn't raise it if they wanted to! Or maybe they didn't have the retractable cover in the trunk closed, which prevents operation of the top? Or maybe they were just trying to look good for the trophy girls.

Here's a picture of the SLK32 pace car from the recent race at Zolder.

Rained at this race as well - looks like they figured out how to put the top up.



Cheers, BT
