Yesterday the circuit Smolensk ring shook from the sport battles the final stage of the RTCC. Today on the empty track race the most powerful version of the BMW X1 with M Sport package.
BMW X1 xDrive28i The time of powerful V-shaped "gears" that used to be installed on this modification has passed. Now under drive28i is a 2 litre 4-cylinder turboboat with a capacity of 245 l. (13 less). We have asked for professional riders. Oleg Quitka, the pilot of the TNC team Racing Team Russia's Racing Team of Russia, is the first on the road. More recently, he was driving his BMW E46 on the same trajectories. The X1 is built just on the platform of the "trechka", the truth is that the station wagon has been built on the basis of the generality of the present generation. On the shift of the "P5 + 1" came a four-cylinder turbo engine after the racing weekend, the asphalt was filled with bits of rubber, and the moisture left by the morning rain is no hurry to leave the road surface. The track is very slipperic. But Oleg Quitke does not stop wondering how exactly the car is controlled, the stabilization system works only when it is posted on the edges of the wheel-the pilot is by habit to attack turns. It is not easy to put a car on the machine, but having achieved the results, Oleg corrects the situation in an instant. The first "X" shall be obediently returning to the trajectory after a small movement by the rudder or pedal of the gas. The pilot admits that he did not expect a car and such a high level of comfort. And we have a more severe shock absorber. There is no luxury in the interior of the cabin, but the materials used are very high quality Shumosula, not the best in the class, but it allows the driver to feel the real speed, occasionally checking the sensations with a well-read speedometer. The car is equipped with a high-end acoustic Hi-Fi Harman/Kardon Stabilization System is turned off in two stages For the handlebar, the director of the Smolensk ring, Oleg Petrikov. It is not just familiar with the cars of the Bavarian brand, but it also has the personal use of BMW X1, the truth, with the previous atmospheric V6 and traditional ACP. No claim to new engine has occurred. The maximum moment of turbo motors is 13 percent higher. The pilot immediately praised the sports seats (M-Pkg) with adjustable lateral support rolles. Sports seats, which are part of the M-Package, are flawless: adjusting fully electrical, with the exception of a sliding cushion C, you can adjust the distance between the side support roller (s) in my view. " The car is very balanced, on the wet cover, it is controlled so well that it allows even a little to nagle. But the feedback to the steering wheel is not enough, it's too light. On the other, on X1, it is possible for a girl to travel without difficulty. I didn' t like the work of the box: switching down is slow, and in manual mode electronics can suddenly switch to the top, overprotecting the engine. In short, there is no feeling of full control. When the front wheels begin to slide out of the direction, the electronics will gently and almost imperceptibly shift the torque to the rear axle. The car is stabilizing. In general, under thrust in turns X1 behaves like a front-wheel drive, but it is also safer. After all, the car is designed not only for racing track, but also for ordinary roads, where other priorities are very different. In my opinion. " The BMW is always a driver-like car, from which the owner gets maximum pleasure on the race track and on the public roads. The kens are minimal, corky, and in a mine, the corners are managed well. The engine's good, too, for a little crossover, it's enough. The brakes are, of course, civilians, lacks the "athletic grip," but there is no crime. The electric power distributes the torque between the axles so that you can pull the car out of the turn. The skid is not felt even when the gas is submerged in the floor. Of course, such a car would hardly fit for a large family. The X1 is a little tight in the back seat, and the boot is not the most appropriate. On the other side, the BMW has a class hierarchy that is almost blurred. For example, in terms of comfort and equipment, X1 is no less than X3 or X5. That's the only thing that's worth it. On the back row is not too free, the third passenger will be hampered by the high tunnel of the Swaner Caster, but prevents the front passenger from the full drive xDrive BMW X1 rear-wheel drive (sDrive). All other versions are equipped with an intelligent system of full xDrive. At the time of the movement, the degree of locking of the electronically controlled muft is constantly changing depending on the driving conditions: the speed of the car, the steering angle of the rudder, the lateral acceleration and the electronic security teams. The primary role in this action is the DSC dynamic exchange control system, which is used to adjust the wheel with the difference of adhesion to a road that can lead to a thrashing. If necessary, xDrive can send up to 100% thrust on one axle. The total locking or disbandment of the muft occurs only 100 ms. Our experts on the wet asphalt noted the front-wheel-torque distribution of the acceleration torque. However, the BMW X1 steer was unanimously described as neutral thanks to the configuration of chassis and decoution: for example, the battery is traditionally for the BMW installed in the luggage compartment, and the kinematics of the rear suspension X1 was almost completely copied from the BMW 3 Series (E90). In my opinion. -BMW X1 I had to try out of the race track. Three hundred kilometres from Moscow to bumper cars and back were easy, despite shock absorbers. But the Minsk highway (M1) is one of the most developed and high quality roads in the country. The truth is that the KAMAZ hourning is as small as it is. This is where the recirculation of the air recirculation mode of the steering wheel (MPacket feature) was useful. But managing the onboard computer is too thinish. If you handle the iDrive washer simply, remember the location of the seven help buttons around the task. They had to be regularly distracted from the road. But, the main thing is that my package for X1 contradicts the original concept of the model. Lifted station wagon or mini-crossover (name as you like), wrapped in the athletic air, and on low-profile wheels turn back into a passenger car. Totse-The city of "X is the first" is very close. The capacity of 245-strong turbo can be realized only on the race track. X1 retained the traditional sharpness and precision of the control, but the eagerness of the back BMW has been replaced by the safer specificity of the thrust distribution with the emphasis on the front axle. The electronics interferes with driving extremely delicately. But even in a harmless, plain-looking, plain-looking-package, it is a sports package that makes sense. Konstantin Vasilyev, editor of the same fight, on the eve of our test, on October 9, the Smolensk ring passed the finals of the Russian championship series of RTCC. The champions in the Super-Prokish and Turing-Lite class were known ahead of schedule: Victor Cosankov and Alexander Sotnikov, respectively. In Turinga, wrestling for the title was not fastir during all seven stages between the TNC pilot Racing Team Mikhail Ukhov and Alexander Frolov (Orenburg Racing). After the sixth round, the gap between them was five points, and we went to the boxing team of the more experienced winner of the 2010 Champion of Mikhail Ukhov. He won the first race. Frolov two. In the final race, a bad joke was played by the backgrating rule (the first six pilots start in order, the polar finish of the first race). In the contact struggle with Vladimir Strelchenko Mikhail Uhov damaged a wheel. The unplanned pit deprives the pilot of the opportunity to fight for victory. The champion and champion of the champion Alexander Frolov wins the championship. On the podium of the final race of the season from left to right: Oleg Kvitka (TNK Racing Team)-7th place in the Championship; Alexander Frolov (Orenburg Racing)-4th place in the Championship; Latvian athlete Yanis Khorelix (off-credit). Length: 3357 m; Width: 12-15 m; Left/right turns: 13/8/5; Maximum speed (DTM): 241 km/h
