Watch a 3-HP Peel P50 Complete a Very Sketchy 25-Minute Nurburgring Lap

Silly cars lapping the Nürburgring Nordschleife is usually an activity left to the virtual world. Sure, tourist days often include buses and vans alongside supercars, but there's a limit to the slowest vehicle permissible at the 'Ring. If you wanted to circle the Green Hell in something ridiculous, a la Gran Turismo, you would have to rent the track out. This is exactly what Quadrant did to attempt a lap in a Peel P50.

The Peel P50 needs little introduction. Most of you will have seen it multiple times on Top Gear, where it served as comic relief. But for the uninitiated, it’s a British three-wheeled microcar that was originally produced in the '60s, of which only 50 were made then. In 2010, two businessmen started a new company to produce them again with minor changes, but they exist largely as they did in 1962. The P50 makes around three to four horsepower from a 49-cc engine, has a top speed of 37 mph, and is possibly the worst vehicle for the Nürburgring. OK, maybe second worst.
