Ligier claims slowest ever lap of the Nurburgring

Diesel-powered JS50 quadricycle took 28min 25.8sec to lap the Nordschleife

Ligier has set a record at the Nürburgring, claiming the slowest ever lap around the Nordscheife. 
Its diesel-powered JS50 quadricycle – homologated in the same category as the Citroën Ami so limited to a top speed of just 28mph – took 28min 25.8sec to complete a lap of the 12.9-mile circuit.
This, according to the French microcar manufacturer, “hinted at [its] glorious history in Formula 1”. 
The JS50 is notable for not being a conventional car but a ‘voiture sans permis’ – a category of two-seaters that allows French motorists to drive on public roads without a licence, from as early as 14 years old. 
Indeed, French journalists Martin Coulomb and Nicolas Meunier drove the JS50 from Paris to the Nordschleife in preparation for its run, completing their 310-mile journey using a single tank of diesel.
They recorded a fuel economy of figure of 94.16mpg, doubtless aided by the pedestrian pace of the quadricycle.
