Something thats puzzled me on car designs

I was looking through the 2003 F1 yearbook I have looking to get some ideas for my own car designs and I noticed that every car cas both an N and E inside a red circle in the same places. What are these for? lol

I've had a think about it but just dont know what they are *confused*

Circuit Thermalito

Liverpool Waterfront Circuit (WIP)

From F1 Atlas

The Atlas F1 FAQ research team have come up trumps again, quizmaster Marcel Schot had discovered the 'N' indicates the presence of a button which when pressed puts the car's transmission in Neutral. This is to assist the flag marshals in recovering cars which have expired somewhere out on the circuit and have to be pushed off or away from the track - or to a point where a crane can grab them.



Similarly, the 'E' is the emergency cut off button for all electrical power in the car, so the presence of that electricity doesn't do anything potentially harmful to anyone involved in a vehicle recovery situation, or more importantly so the car doesn't electrocute anyone who might be trying to rescue the driver from the wreck, or by sparking start a fuel fire.

It's definitelly an E, and I believe it has something to do with electrics.

Yes, I edited my post in the meanwhile. :p

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

Hehe, thanks very much. I know now that its safe (and probably wise) to add neutral and emergency cut off to the car, lol.

Thanks!
