They had the 400CDI, the G500 and the G55K on the track. People were waiting at the track to "get on Board". The maximum speed in that curve was limited to 160km/h because of the possible axle load of the G. The gravitation is around 3x higher in that curve at that speed, so the weight of the G was 7,5tons instead of 2,5. Above 7,5 tons the axles will start to deform in a critical way. People were asked to raise the Hands while being in the curve | |
