There is no race track steeped in as much history as the Nürburgring Nordschliefe in Germany. With over a hundred corners (by some counts) along its 20.8 km length, the course is considered by many to be the most technically demanding in the entire world. Yet, although it is uniquely challenging, one of its largest attractions is that it is almost always open to the public for a modest price, giving enthusiasts the world over a chance to test their race mettle.
As a common practice, many manufacturers also use the Nürburgring as a grueling test course for their most highly tuned race cars. But tiny, limted-edition electric cars? Not so much so. Apparently BMW didn’t get that note, however, having just run a *slightly* altered MINI E electric car around the track in a truly respectable 9m 51.45s. I’m impressed.
