    F1 Emergency vehicle loses way around track

    http://www.oncars.in/Car-News-Detail...und-track/1246
    The medical team at the Buddh international team probably had no access to such a game, or console - during a mock safety drill on Monday, the ambulance that was supposed to be carrying a critically injured driver lost its way to the medical facility. The 'patient' was an FIA representative from Bahrain, who'd had enough of the hunt when twenty minutes were up. He got off, remarking that the time period was enough to have killed a critically injured driver.

    well, I suppose that's why they do mock drills.

    The driver probably wasn't used to navigating a road with no one else on it.
    HINCHTOWN!!

    Did the 'patient' check for his organs after this trip?

    Maybe they would find the 'hospital' faster if the patient wasn't from Bahrain.

    I hope drivers were told to bring their personal ambulance drivers around or at least buy the track ambulance driver a good GPS.
