Add to that having a single (literal) steering wheel, which is a bicycle wheel, and that it is being steered with literal handle on a fist-sized reel. Brakes also a joke, but hey, at least you can't lock 'em. On the other hand, this is the motor racing expirience in a nutshell for a long time, and in some aspect to this day - driving some stuff way too fast to the point where it can kill you in a single unpredictable snap. But I would still rather do 300kph in cockpit with no modern safety devices than 80kph on a bench with three bicycle wheels mounted to it

I actually decided to calculate Jimmy's average speed: The Nordschleife is 20.82km long and Jimmy lapped it in 82 minutes, so his average speed was aproximately 15.24kph. For reference the Olympic Marathon record's average speed is a little over 20kph. So, there are humans who are faster than this "car"

[@r.a.6459]

Professional marathon runners usually hold around 5-minute mile, which translates to 19.3km/h. And the annual Ekiden in Japan (from Tokyo to Hakone) they usually run around 4:30/mile pace, due to each leg around half marathon length. So yeah, this antique car is slower than professional marathoners.

[@fernandoueno8668]

@@r.a.6459 you also reminded me of one thing: a Marathon is around 42km and the circuit is less than half of it. So probably a marathoner would be able to run a faster pace, which would make a race between the old car and an athlete even more unfair 😂

[@nocount7517]

When walking is actually faster than taking a car.

[@MannyBrum]

Fun fact: The Motorwagen could achieve around 25 mpg (10l/100km) fuel efficiency which means that it would have enough fuel in its 1 gallon (4.5l) fuel tank to do two laps around the Nordschleife depending on which kind of lap you do. Also, the lap time of around 82 minutes is about the same per-mile pace as a marathon runner in a 10k. A 10k is about half as long as the Nordschleife so when you account for the fact that a human would run this at more than twice the time it would take to run half of it due to cumulative exhaustion, it's still faster than going on foot (if you assume the vehicle has no mechanical failures the entire time). I think therein is the benefit of the vehicle. Running or riding a bike over very long distances is going to tire out the person more than occasionally having to stop and make repairs. It's not something you'd drive back and forth to the neighbor's house down the street, but if you had to go many miles, you might want to have one of these. That's what early cars were mainly for, and you weren't just a driver when you had one, you also had to be a mechanic as they needed constant tweaking and repairs by the driver.

thank you Jimmy Broadbent. This was perfect for me to see and learn how to 3D model and make the billboards and textures for them for trees. thanks

[@jfhall]

I can't believe I just sat here and watched the entire thing, lol! Entertaining as always Jimmy!

Imagine how fast this car must have felt when it was launched

[@sethbomgardner9030]

I doubt it. A horse could run laps around this thing. A horse has better brakes and handling tho...

[@Watchmanskey]

I mean, if you're using it in a flat city center it feels quite fast. It's speed would be similar to a Segway

[@unvaxxeddoomerlife6788]

@@sethbomgardner9030 Also bicycles and trains were much faster too.

[@Pembolog]

Sadly this is historically inaccurate. They believed when cars were invented that if you went too fast, your hat would fly off then you'd die.

[@WhiteHawk77]

Yeah but it’s a not well known fact that hats were all made of lead and rocks back then.

[@KitKitChanIsaac]

so if my hat falls off I die?

[@noisepuppet]

Back in my day we didn't need newfangled gears and fancy torque to get up a hill. We just made our own switchbacks. Waste of money to buy any car that goes fast enough to blow your top hat off.

[@bossd3815]

This is amazing how something considered to be a racetrack (one of the greatest in fact) can feel more like a trial course for such an old car

[@nicholascanjuga6000]

Jimmy, you better have hit all the apexs

[@calcassida3171]

Hey Jimmy, we have one of these at the museum I work at. It's definitely a feat of engineering for 1886.

[@KitKitChanIsaac]

has anyone ever tried to convince the boss to take it to the Nordschleife?

[@SnazBrigade]

I've never seen a race car driver have to Tack to mount a hill before.

[@twt3716]

To travel 23 Miles in your lifetime was an accomplishment in those dark old days, so to do it in an hour is just the ticket young man. What a ladys' front garden magnet that must have been !! By jove.

I'd LOVE to see a race between 2 or more of these cars.

The nordschleife marathon

[@r.a.6459]

Nordschleife is 20.83km long, half marathon is 21.1km. Nice. Can't wait to see Kenyans and Ethiopians run on this track.

4:29 i love how the gentlemen hears Jimmy talking about the time he has to drive the Nordschleife

[@McPlayer8t]

I absolutely love this car, great to see it being given more love recently.

[@xXxDeamonlordxXx]

Imagine two round Race on this track with a full field of those things. It would be absolutely funny and painfull to watch at the same time. Especially uphill^^

[@amicloud_yt]

Automakers need to do more giant exposed flywheels like this. fun to see it and i am sure it's not a safety problem at all

Dear god, this is a core memory of mine. My neighbor Michael after hours of racing came in first only to win the motor wagon and we were so disappointed at its speed on a straight path

[@goku_jerome1732]

now I want to see this down a steep mountain. that shouldn't be as painful unless it refuses to behave in corners

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Shoutout to Jimmy for having a lot of patience for this

[@skynet0912]

Get some friends together, and beat Super GTs 200 laps! Now that's a charity stream i would watch... If Desert Bus can do it, so can you!

That safety cylinder is the best! In case of crash, that cylinder has better destruction zone than the car :D

I tried it too but couldn't get up flugplatz. What i did do though was drive the targa florio with it which took 4 hours and 16 minutes and 11 seconds :), twise because it crashed on the line the first time. But anyway i challange you to do the targa florio faster than me :). Nice video btw

Would love to see a bunch of these racing on a steep downhill stage 😂

[@DaarthPingas]

holy god, you have to hold a sim racing event with these as the vehicles

[@torbentitze1096]

First lap in that car and still he kept it on the ground at Flugplatz and took the double right-hander flat out - that´s racecraft right there!

[@virgilthemob1242]

Imagine driving one of these up the hills in San Fran. It would make even Sisyphus feel like his life has meaning.
