Ever wonder where a race team gets replacement parts far from home?

Crashes, damaged cars, and general maintenance of nuts and bolts and other consumable parts are part of the deal during every racing weekend, so unless an incident is a "big one," most fans understandably don't think much about what goes on behind the scenes keeping cars on-track.

The trailer also keeps a few engines and transmissions on hand, with a team of engineers working from a lounge situated on its "second story" level above the main inventory area. If you've ever maintained or helped to maintain a race car, you're likely familiar with the regular process of going over its nuts and bolts, verifying they're torqued properly and replaced when necessary. In the case of the AMG GT3, there are certain factory-specified nuts and bolts for the car you won't find by popping into a local hardware store when in a pinch, which means teams rely on the AMG trailer for them when needed.
