i have zx this thing hppend to me 3 times in less speed i know this is the best car there is no other car can get you out of case like this the whiegt of the divided good
@naorfromisraeldesert if it happened to you the same thing 3 times it means that you understood NOTHING about what is DRIVING. that guy was ONLY LUCKY. i made no countersteer(not enough) and the car was saved only because had front wheel on gravel and rear on tarmac when sliding.
the driver shouldnt have gone out the car like that, thats pretty dangerous and stupid todo that 0_0 i have been to the ring quite alot and you got to focus 100% of the time, this track will make u pay if you take as a joke... respect the track next time you fairies!!
i have watched this video 20 times!! if only i had this guys driving skills i would of have saved my first zx.. love the zx so much though , that now i am fixing-upgrading my THIRD zx!!! check out my 2 videos... if u want .. ;-)
I'm afraid there is NO driving skills in this video, he just made a terrible mistake (quite common) : lift off oversteer in fuchsrohre, and then didn't even countersteer... just rubbish LOL
i have watched this video 20 times!! if only i had this guys skills i would of have saved my first zx.. love the zx so much that now i am fixing-upgrading my THIRD zx!!!
Love it!! The ZX is brilliant - fab ride and very well balanced through corners - excellent steering - however .... This is typical ZX - take something too quickly and it punishes!! I spun my ZX on a roundabout - however they do spin very neatly! Needless to say the suspension was altered when the Xsara came out!
what citroen is that??? what zx version??? Im thinking to buy one the 1.4i gassoline... I would like to find the volcane but I think is too much for a first car....
i just got a zx turbo diesel for 350 pounds and it surprised me how much power its got for a diesel i got it on the motorway and went from 70mph to 120mph in a few seconds and i love the turbo noise it really sounds like a petrol rather than a diesel u just have to remember it is a diesel when u go to fill it up otherwise u will have made a very costly mistake indeed and citroen ride comfort is superb u can fly over pot holes and not even notice them great little car
il faisait quand meme du 150-160km/h, et il aurait pu rattraper la moto devant, ca va pour zx TD moi je dis, t'etre qu'il se plante mais il evite un 360 et nique pas vraiment sa caisse.
wow great video, I crashed a ZX turbo diesel into a stone wall a few years ago when the back end came round like that, I got a week in the Hotel NHS and a pin in my femeur for that,. The big heavy diesel engine and light rear end don't make a very balanced motor, still didn't stop me buying another. Went round the Nring on my bike last year.
You guys were laughing all over the place, but in fact you were rrrreaally lucky you didn't end up in the hospital. Don't underestimate the danger of the Nurburgring! Now you know why ;-) Hopefully your car hasn't bent rims or something due to the high sideways speed hitting the kerbs.
very lucky and good reaction. Because the fronts were on the grass, he had less resistance there and the car "evened" out. If that hadn't been the case, he'd hit that barrier at a lethal speed...
oh my god just watching this not expecting that, lovely car control tho. How the hell did you laugh so quickly? i wud ave bin terrified! wats the fastest time you got on the nurberg ring cos i want to take my zx round it soon?
I went around in a very scared 12 mins approx after. You can get sub 10 in a standard zx with sensational driving, and much much faster if well modified.
well held but his lift of must of been pretty unprogressive use of the throttle. Needed to balance the car there with mimimal throttle. As soon as you lift off the weight shifts forward as the engine braking kicks in shifting the weight forward.
the pressed on the brake for sure at 1:06 to make the slight left turn (uphill) and thats threw them to spin. I am glad they did not hit the fence - would have been the end of the car with some broken limbs.
He would have if you rolled it 7 times. After watching this vid, im definitly going to wear a helmet next time and some bucket seats with 4/5 point harnesses. That is a very fast part of the track. My car's front tyres used to hit the top of the wheel arch in that dip. Time for some coilovers.
lol i was just watching this again trying to work out what caused the spin in the first place (apart form the awfulness of the car lol) and i think he just lifts off a bit, and turns the steering slightly at the same time (perhaps with a bump in the road too) and that sends it off... what u thinking? im just shocked at how well that thing travels sideways LOL.
It's a front wheel drive car and you are refering I think to "lift off oversteer" - which is only really apparent with rear wheel drive. Not sure why he went off - I suspect jsut to eager and fast (I hear 100mph on sound) and the car just couldn't cope - slightest bump or loss of traction (surface change - oil water etc) would have done this - looks most certainly a rear wheel loss first (so oversteer) but I suspect it was sheer speed and track conditions.
i was indeed referring to lift off overstear, which does occur in front wheel drive cars lol - in fact its pretty much the only way to get a front wheel drive car too overstear.
Ok - stand corrected - Seems that LO-oversteer in FWD cars is caused by the weight transfer to front as the gas is lifted and the rears, due to lightness, lose traction - I understand that this has to be quite a violent lift off to work in a FWD (as used in Rallying sometimes)? The other,way to get oversteer in a FWD is use of handbrake. After a steep learning curve thanks to Janeshcw I agree with them - I'll go back to racing my RWD now - at least I know what that is supposed to do
Well the lift off would need to be 'violent' in many cars, but the suspension in the Citroen is so soft (and french) that it clearly didn't take all that much to initiate the slide haha
If you notice ... the road has some sort of water going tru hem... it cause some 'Hydroplaning' + he steered the car , either with the accelerator or the brakes ... which in turn makes the car skid out of control... cant really do much really, coz there were no traction..
Yeah I can tell that the French car haters are totally educated in all things motoring and aren't just making a generalisation based on what they hear in the pub. Some of the best handling hatches made are French.
OMFG that was close, i love the bit "oh crap mums gonna kill us" ah that was awesome im 17 and i drive a ZX and i can now understand what a fun car they are :D
I 19, i own a ZX 1.4 ADVANTAGE 1992. Never failed to start up at all with 163 k on the clock. Runs forever, fasted that the modern car with same engine size (TRIED AND TEST). All electics plenty of space. Handles welL No bads at all.
Nothing but pure luck that this didn't turn into a massive stack. "Hey, let's take an ageing and dynamically inept French hatchback loaded up with people and ramp the crap out of it on the ring" Recipe for disaster I am afraid...!
the ZX is far from "inept" .. it was the top handling car back then along the Golf mk2/3.. it just has a tendency to lift-off oversteer wich like Jeremy Clarkson said "it will piss off profanes but if you know it and you handle it, it will became your best friend"
Dynamicaly inept? You ever driven one? I'm on my 2nd. Only a 1.4i 3dr. only 75bhp when new. I can chuck it about all over the place, wet or dry. I regularly outrun or at least match the pace of more powerfull more modern cars on my way to work, and that run has some pretty dodgy bends. Most have adverse cambers and there are a couple of bends right on the crest of hills. I hope one day to take it to the ring. Try one, you'll love it.
Great catch, dude!! Great family day on the ring...luckly you saved the oversteer and the Citroen ZX...i got one and one of my dreams is to drive it a couple of laps in the ring sometime in my life (without THAT end, of course). LOL
through the compression i see, which is why the car compressed went light and spun, dosent help the car does not have performance suspension and the driver was inexperianced
Well saved and you were all very lucky - that part of the circuit is the scariest for me and my car is doing about 145mph there :o
Did you actually lift though? It looks like it just went sideways - was it really wet?
I came off at Aremberg (just before the bridge you mentioned in the video) and that was in the wet - the gravel saved me though. Needless to say I won't ever be driving the 'ring in the wet again!
It was "slippery" - not soaking but fairly wet. Enough to get a bit of spray as you may be able to see.
What do you drive?
There were many many accidents during the 2h the track was open (It was a Weds I believe) - infact 5mins after we got back in the track got closed down for 45mins to recover a couple of cars that had obviously come to harm.
Listen to the engine note just before the car spins. It's definitely lowering in pitch which suggests you lifted, possibly not consciously. Good save, mind.
One word of advice when driving the Ring: Don't use the braking points of others who may well have upgraded their brakes, suspension and tyres!
:D We didnt lift though... It was just a FWD car versus a negative camber, and we were on the wrong side of the road for the bend really... Should have kept right and cut in at the end. The back tried to overtake the front and the rest as they say is history
what is youre lap time?

And the moral is: don't lift. Classic lift-off oversteer makes a kink (not even a corner) into a pant-filler!
