The World's Smallest Car on the World's Largest Racetrack



The Peel P50 has been termed the world's smallest car, but it seems to really stretch the definition of "car." It runs on three wheels with no safety equipment, and can fit through the front door of your house. You have to be careful making turns, because it's liable to fall over on its side, but it doesn't go very fast anyway. So of course you would want to see what the P50 does on a racetrack. Max Fewtrell took that idea to the max, and scheduled a lap at the the Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany, the world's longest racetrack. It's an absurd idea, and the video rolls with the absurdity. The track closes at nightfall, and Fewtrell doesn't know if he will complete the 22 kilometer (14 mile) course in time. Besides, this little car only has one headlight. There's a one-minute skippable ad at three minutes in. (via Jalopnik)
