The car is required to carry a substantial amount of equipment including a large medical bag, a defibrillator, two fire extinguishers and a burn kit – fortunately the DBX has 632 litres of boot space. The seats has been removed, replaced with four sport bucket seats, each equipped with a 6-point safety harness. Much like the safety car, two screens have been mounted onto the dashboard to provide live race footage. An additional screen is used to read live biometric data delivered via technology in the drivers’ gloves, which in the event of an accident, provides critical information on their condition. The ‘Marshalling System’ and the rear-view mirror camera display have also been installed into the medical car.
The development of Official Medical Car of Formula 1® was carried out by the engineering team at Aston Martin and it is believed that a total of three DBX have been modified for the purpose.
