The rotary dial has been moved again to wherein the cup holder became located, and in its location sits a transfer manipulate machine used to execute some of actions, along with activating the siren, radio communications and controlling the mild-bar LED's. The 'Marshalling System' is incorporated into the tool cluster and the dashboard, permitting each the motive force and co-motive force to peer which coloration flag is being proven at the tune, with the aid of using the illumination of the identical colored LED mild; mirroring the machine that still functions with the aid of using law in all F1® crew vehicles.
