Why Koenigsegg Is "BANNED" From The Nürburgring..

#koenigsegg #cars #race #shorts DO you think koenigsegg will return?

[@searyz]

I would like to apologize for there being a mistake in this video, The decision to ban timed laps stems from an accident at a VLN race, involving driver Jann Mardenborough, in which a spectator was killed was BEFORE THE KOENIGSEGG CRASHING. Track management reacted by imposing a speed limit at Flugplatz, where the crash occurred. Since then, management has imposed further restrictions in other high-speed sectors. Official word from Nürburgring management is that these restrictions will be reviewed at the end of the year, but for the time being, manufacturers like Koenigsegg are banned from attempting lap-time runs - even if they’ve rented out the entire track for themselves ,But then the limits were removed after the track was deemed safe again so koenigsegg went and attempted their lap record but crashed, and they never went on the track again. In March 2019 Christian von Koenigsegg says that they plan to return to the Ring with the 1600bhp Jesko, however they have still yet to go back to the track...

[@olivante9513]

So you say the Sped Limits are gone and dont efect times laps Laps and your shorts is missliding. WoW

[@sanjaykerpal6060]

I mean they arent back cause think about it, the top 5 dont even have 1000horsepower but easily cracked the 7min barrier, it would be embarrassing if they couldnt even do it with double the power as the rest of the competition.

Correct ​@@BigDaddyTony24

[@TheCasinoBuds]

Ur wrong

[@aceofaces1506]

You have the entire story backwards The speed limits were imposed before the koenigsegg one:1 lap where they crashed on the Nurburgring, these speed limits were the result of a Nissan GTR crash that killed 2 spectators. Fun fact, the gtr was being driven by Jaan Mardenborough, yes the one from the movie. After this crash, the Nurburgring imposed track wide speed limits for ALL manufacturers regardless of Situation while they got to work making the track safer. In this time, koenigsegg achieved a lap record at spa Once the speed limits were finally lifted for all, koenigsegg would attempt a record with the black one:1, but would crash, ending their lap record attempts on the ring. They were never banned they simply gave up

What is the point of a race track with a speed limit?

[@sirentemple]

It operates like a toll road 👍

[@banananoodles]

It's legally a road and must follow safety standards of a road

[@truehunger108]

The speed limit is for trackdays. Normally, if you want to lap the nurburgring, you rent out the whole ring, all 20.892 kms of it, for a whole day or 2.

The speed limits are no longer there. It was temporary because a spectator died when a Nissan GTR race car flew over the barrier and hurt some people. They have now made improvements to the Ring and the speed limits are gone.

[@Bs_Void]

The speed limit only applies in tourist days. Companies like Porsche and Mercedes still goes for lap records on the ring

[@ReinOtten]

Yes but Koenigsegg is based at top speed and Porsches and Mercedes more on handling. They don’t go 400+ kph so they can put in lap times

The reason why we don’t see the koenigsegg on the Nordshleife is that those cars are quick on the straight only. They have good sound, they looks good but in terms of fast lap times, cars like GT 3 RS beat them heavy. They don’t want to lose with much cheaper cars.

[@Gundam4President]

@@thef1obsesseddoesn’t matter they’ll make exceptions for manufacturers (did so for the Zonda R) Koenigsegg hasn’t gone back because there’s no point going back. Nurburgring times are irrelevant when their brand is built on engineering and straight line speed. Setting a slow lap time (by Hypercar standards) would damage their reputation

[@matthiasmuller189]

Huh. Why can all the other manufacturers test their cars?

[@martinlund9524]

They can. But they do need to have to buy one day for themself and that is costly! They cant make the speed attempts when there is other cars. Then speed limit is there when there is other cars. I think it was something like this. They keep changeing the info a bit on how you can make it legal.

[@JGStone]

​@@martinlund9524 I mean ofc you wouldn't do a lap record attempt when there are others on the ring. Would be ridiculous if you could. Guess it just doesn't matter to them and the ring is unpredictable and does like to make sacrifices to the car gods, so it would make sense, that they don't see a reason to risk that.

As the proud owner of a Honda Civic , I have complete faith in his statement , I assume it's true , and will not be doing any fact checking about it either.

[@SebaztienHawke-ci5hm]

That’s because Nurburgring is old and slow, poorly engineered and not up to the performance standard of modern cars. There are are too many corners where you have to slow right down to old granny speed, and no fast, sweeping 200kph+ bends.

[@101jir]

@greg1503 Very interesting. Could you go into more detail? Curious how that works.

[@gob9192]

Couldnt agree more, if you want car that just speed launching on the straight line, those are your options. But if you want cars that can actually race in a racing track, or you can take a bit speed on normal regular road than you need different car.

The Jesko Attack makes almost equivalent to its weight in downforce. It is extremely capable of track racing and is predicted to crush records when it releases. The Jesko Absolut is about top speed.

To be fair when your driving a car that can do like 180 miles an hour in like five seconds, it only takes a second to crash.
