Experience the Thrill of Nürburgring with a Modest 68 Horsepower

The Joy of 'Slow Car Fast'

Embrace the exhilaration of driving a vehicle with just enough power to keep you on the edge, coupled with a propensity for oversteer. This unique driving experience was captured when Dale Lomas from Bridge to Gantry took to the wet Nordschleife track in an old Citroën C1 with a mere 68 horsepower. Despite its modest capabilities, the stripped-out hatchback provided an ideal balance of control and excitement.

Conserving Momentum for Success

Whether you're tackling the Nürburgring or traversing a challenging road, the key to success lies in conserving momentum. Keep the revs up, avoid unnecessary braking, and strive to maintain speed through corners. Dale Lomas demonstrated this technique by skillfully keeping up with faster cars, including an E36 3-Series and a friend in a Hyundai I20 N. Losing momentum could be agonizing, but with the right approach, the satisfaction and fun of the experience are unparalleled.

Choose Fun Over Speed

While a high-performance BMW M3 might offer greater speed, question whether it can match the sheer enjoyment of pushing a low-power vehicle to its limits. The thrill of perfecting your driving skills and conquering the track or road is an experience best savored in a modest hatchback.
