The Monaco hairpin is one of the slowest, trickiest corners found on any Formula 1 circuit. F1 cars slow down to around 30 mph to navigate this tight corner. A Citroen Ami, it seems, can't even manage that speed around the hairpin.
In the video (swipe up to watch), an enthusiastic driver managed to take the curve fine at speed in the uphill direction, although the microcar displayed plenty of body roll.
But disaster struck when the car was forced to take the same turn heading downhill; as it reached the middle of the curve, gravity worked against it, tipping it over and propelling it toward the bollards.
At 94.9 inches long and 54.7 inches wide,the Ami has a relatively high center of gravity for a car of its size, making navigating tight turns difficult at speed.
This incident shows how physics affect a car differently heading uphill and downhill, with the up run slowing the car down and making it more stable, while the down run easily unsettled it.
