我花了大量的時間和耐心來實現橋到龍門單圈時間在 10 分鐘以下磁碟機旅遊期間在 Nordschleife。 這一挑戰絕對是為了好玩但也要證明它能做與工作、 堅韌和有點瘋狂太...這 TUD3 柴油發動機以其可靠性差而聞名,經歷了 9 引擎和 5 變速箱 ! 都知道現在如何遠製成品去驗證他們的新跑車張貼他們珍貴的新玩具,價值至少數以萬計的美元,飛馳在 Vmax 紐伯格林與一些熱靴驅動程式定時的 YouTube 視頻。時間已經開始變得普通的戒指,雖然經常被誤解,如何能夠一輛車的基準是。 現在,凝聚所有的測定、 聲望和大錢製造商的支援;剔除了金錢和榮譽,並添加確定的法國雪鐵龍柴油與他作戰,突破神奇 10 分鐘大關。 這輛車是附近股票 1993年雪鐵龍 AX 14 D,1。4 L 53 馬力柴油 econobox — — 動力車將是一種輕描淡寫。唯一顯著的修改是前面的一整套 (據推測) 更具粘性輪胎,撞的燃油壓力,支撐杆,以説明防止進一步,扭掉大 1 鋁攝入累的主機殼。5 L 15 D 馬達以清除支撐杆和最後一些溫和的減重。 花了七年和相當數量的雪鐵龍部件以獲得它。結果,雖然,是一個頑強的驅動程式,真正知道駕駛的汽車是住戶。看看視覺上平靜,但機械快速的變化。移位器的設計已經足夠他開始投擲棘輪之前,打開和關閉離合器的戲劇。總是有絕對的信心,甚至在最後一個小時的視頻時動力轉向泵開始打他從熱 (你可以聽到抱怨他戰在角落退出輪泵) 駕駛。 他寫道,賽車是種心態,因為他關閉運行 YouTube 描述。完美。 It took me a lot of time and patience to achieve a Bridge To Gantry lap time under 10 minutes during the tourist drive sessions at the Nordschleife. This challenge was definitely for fun but also to prove it could be done with work, tenacity and a bit of madness too… This TUD3 diesel engine is known for its poor reliability and I went through 9 engines and 5 gearboxes! Were all aware by now how far manufactures go to validate their new sports car by posting a timed YouTube video of their prized new toy, worth at least tens of thousands of dollars, barreling down the Nürburgring at Vmax with some hot shoe driver. The Ring time has started to become a regular, though often misguided, benchmark for how capable a car is. Now, condense all of that determination, prestige and big-money manufacturer support; strip out the money and prestige, and add determined Frenchman with a diesel Citroen as he battles to break the magical 10-minute mark. The car is a near-stock 1993 Citroen AX 14D, a 1. 4L 53hp diesel econobox — momentum car would be an understatement. The only notable modifications are a (presumably) stickier set of front tires, bumped fuel pressure, a strut bar to help prevent the tired chassis from twisting further, an aluminum intake off the larger 1. 5L 15D motor to clear the strut bar, and finally some modest weight reduction. It took seven years and a fair amount of Citroen parts to get it. The result, though, is one tenacious driver who truly knows the car hes driving. Look at the visually calm, but mechanically quick shifts. The shifter has enough play that he starts throwing it well before ratcheting on and off the clutch. Always driving with absolute confidence, even in the last hour of video when the power steering pump starts to fight him from heat (You can hear the pump whine as he fights the wheel on corner exit). He writes, Racing is a state of mind, as he closes the YouTube description of the run. Perfect.
