What's not to like? Very nice and informative.
"You have to remove your wing", meanwhile next car that overtakes him has a massive modded rearwing.
Rule 0 - follow the rules but have fun!
i have 500km to the nurburgring :(
6:40 I made this mistake 1 year ago on TT Assen. Was sooo exited that I send it on the first lap, broke my engine 1 lap later. Still can't get over that
What are your suggestions to wearing a helmet in a non-caged but older car without airbags?
how do you claim against someone else's oil leak if they leave the track and the accident happened after they left the track?
Bucket list trip for me - hope to get there some day. Cheers from the U.S.
Very informative, thanks!

Hello Misha ,nice video ,Paul from Greece, I want one day to come there and drive ...good job
Cool to know the rules and tips! Thanks misha. Will you do a video about the track days? Do you do them often these days? Would be good for a ride along
Cool video! I drove the X5 at 14:30
Great informative video!
Hi Misha, thanks for the great content. Stupid off topic question: how did/where did you mount the front facing cam? On the front window with a suction cup or on the dashboard? Thx!
Tourist and fartin?
How much does it cost to rent a car for the track?
".. no big busses.." erm... are you thinking what I'm thinking? XD police car, tourist bus... ring a bell? Btw, after a lap (say when the parking lot is opened again) would it be advisable to go drive around for a few minutes before parking the car straight away, in order to cool down the brakes better? Last time I went to Hockenheimring TF, afterward my brakes become "uneven" or sth like that, since then it vibrates a little bit almost everytime I brake. Would driving around after a lap prevent this problem? (ofc except the obvious solution, upgrade better brake disc)
This video is so good. I'm convincing more and more friends to come to the Nürburgring and your latest videos are perfect to show them first impressions and give them the right mood for this.
My Mini has got fresh TÜV. The new set of tires are standing next to him. I'll be there this weekend or next.
Cars with wings are not aloud as 2 cars with wings go past ?
Great video but my ears are bleeding 😂
Thanks for doing this kind of video. I really like the fact that you think about the people who are not Nürburgring expert, I'm sure it will help a lot of people to enjoy their first Nürburgring laps.
16:41 what car is that? It looks nice :)

What car is Misha driving? Should mention that at the start...
Thank you!

I never knew that there was two different speeds you had to do between an illuminated yellow and a waving flag yellow. Thank you for the information, top-notch as always.
you say you cant have a massive wing or exhaust but what about evos and subarus etc and ive seen loads of beemers with fast and furious style wings on the track (one past you in the video lol) and also loads of cars with loud exhausts etc go on there!! at what point do these rules come in? like what is too big a wang and wats to loud a poop shoot?
Yeah, for me spending some time in that car park at the track entrance, meeting and chatting to like minded people was one of the highlights from the visit to Nürburgring. Oh, and going to near by village to get a sweinesnitzel for dinner :) P.S. back in 2016...
Thank you for 3:10 It's only aimed at a few but they can affect the fun of the many!
I think the most important thing is to remember that you're not 16 years old any more, and that hormones can kill. Adrenaline is good, but too much testosterone will really screw things up. It's not a driving sim; it doesn't matter that you're not getting cool footage for GRbuild; it's not a moronic 'drifting' video; it doesn't matter that you're not king of the castle or top of the heap. There will always be someone faster than you. ALWAYS. So relax. When other guys pass you, it doesn't matter. Nobody's laughing at you. If you're not Number One, it doesn't matter. If you're just driving an ordinary road car, it doesn't matter. It's not a race. And it's not a Merkin-style drag race, either - something for social inadequates with unresolved size, power and performance issues best dealt with by a sexual psychiatrist. Just savour the driving. Belting down an unrestricted Autobahn is boring. Sustained high speed is no biggie, and no challenge, either. The Nürburgring's different. Special. Enjoy the moments when a pro driver overtakes you at 170 mph. Watch his line through the next corner. Raise an eyebrow. Smile. You've got absolutely nothing to prove. The fact that you're out on the circuit, driving, and not sitting at home in an armchair shouting 'expert' advice at a screen is enough. Have fun. (And maybe some pancakes.)
Hey, @MishaCharoudin, why don't you make a video of the ring kartbahn! I am interested of how it looks from the inside :D
What ever your in Misha sounds a bit dodgy ...........Good driving Silver MX5 !
No heart on any of the comments, are you ok micha? Also my comment got deleted, i guess cause of a link i posted. i made a photshop of apex with the apex logo on the wall.

Links quite often go into spam. I'll look for it
In a next video, can you tell us which/who owns the Nurb, the benefits per year, and where is this money going ? yes i could make some researches but you're at the right place and you probably have some infos i wouldn't find. Thanks in advance mate
Nice informations thx a lot. Could you tell us if we can charge a car (Porsche Taycan), near the entry point ?
Im not insured, so im not taking the risk anymore. I did drove it a few times but not anymore. Lots of morons in the weekends there. Bummer. But i live in belgium and we have zolder, mettet, francorchamps, so enough to go go

Where you aren't insured either
You ll have to organise a formation lap with as many GR Yaris as you can gather up, there are so many around!
wait, isn't it 25/30€ per day, not per lap?

No it's 25/30€ per lap NS or 15 min on GP track
Hey Misha, I did my first TF Lap in November and wanted to take it carefully but found it hard to concentrate on taking a nice race line without the feeling that I was getting in the way of the faster drivers, any tips on how to practice your race line as a slower driver?

Drive when there are less people on the track, e.g. in the afternoon or on weekdays. Maybe find someone as fast as you and follow their line.
Great Video Misha. Thank you.
Thanks for this, it's incredibly important to discuss safety and etiquette at the track.
Hey Misha , can you try to record a lap from the backseat with a longer lens sometime? Like the old Yellowbird record lap, It really shows how extrem the undulations are! (No image stabilization, cam fixed to the car)
Long time viewer here, and I learned something. Well done!!
Great info Misha 👍 How about licencing for those of us coming from other continents, do we just show our country's licence or do we need a international licence to hire and drive a car ?
is it me or does the M2 make a lot of kluging noise wen making turns?
RIMAC ON NURBURGRINGGGGGG
Hallo Misha nice lap nice vlog
Good video I really enjoyed it like all of your videos 😄❤️
Not to complain about your off season content, Misha, but this is the stuff your subscribers signed up for. Great video. I think your channel cultivates a feel and appreciation for the laid back attitude of the real car enthusiasts community. If it were for appreciating and respecting each other, not trying too hard and having fun with the right mindset, there would be drastically less accidents.
Hi Misha, I still have the Green Hell driving app on my phone. It still opens and send to be functioning... Do you know if it'll still be usable if I go to the Ring? Also, do you know why it has been discontinued in the app store? Thanks in advance
When a car passes you, check before continuing back to your preferred line, as the car might have another car right behind it. Or even multiple cars. Seems obvious, but it’s actually tricky sometimes, to suddenly need to drive off line at speed.
If you can "afford" to speed on public roads, get caught and pay a hefty fine (or worse)...you can afford a lap ticket and have fun safely. Keep it on the track.

To some fast driving on the track doesnt give the same sensation as driving on the road does
Holy squeaky brakes, Batman!!! Other than that...very good vid, Misha.
Thanks always for the tips and tricks of Touristenfahrten. These complete lap videos help us get familiar with the track. 👍🏎
I'll be back May14th, pity Apex do not have RHD rentals, because I may do a "Robert" cruuuunch
This was super informative for our planning to visit the Ring in a few years!
Good info 😊👍🏻
Pancakes! Cannot forget Pancakes! Question is "What is Misha's favorite, plain, banana, blueberry, or something else?" Also syrup is the key. Maple, Coconut, or another flavor?
Would like to see more information on insurances, especially possibilities to reduce the excess on rental cars.
That BMW that passed you had a massive wing. So what do you consider massive?

Toch weer leerzaam na vele jaren bezoeken. Tx! Medische mondkapjes zijn bij elk tankstation te koop neem ik aan?
9:24 that is not a massive wing?
you forgot to say that t'here's no prize for Uk people if they smash the car inside TF
Endlesssqueak brake pads?
Are those Pagid RSL29 or Endless ME20 on the M2?
Great vid as always Misha.👌🏻🤟🏻
De oranje kleur op de vangrail als safety-zone heb je niet genoemd. Ik heb oordopjes in gedaan om de remblokken niet meer te horen ;-)
I Yaris...He Yarised..She Yarisses...They Yarisessed..
Thanks for the video! One thing I would like to know: In case my car breaks down; where should I ask the ADAC / towing company to bring my car to? is there some kind of car park where you can leave it for one or two days until you can come with your own trailer to bring it home? Thanks!
Офигенный гайд по Нордшляйфе! Жду не дождусь открытия границ (и кучи деняк для поездки)
My kind of how-to video. Looking forward to seeing you on the track some day.
Noted
The insurance seems to be the most important thing. Because if you overtake on the right or don't respect a rule you can be banned. But imagine if by your oil or coolant you make crash a Performante....or an Enzo ....or a Zonda.... or maybe all 3 and you are not covered......could be a real financial disaster (Gates, Besos, Musk and friends are not involved on this matter 😂)
25€ per lap! Sheeesh!
I hope one day I'll use this rules :)
Hey Misha, I've always wondered what dictates whether the Nordschleife or combined layout is used during TF? More simply, is there a way to find out in advance which is being used so I can drive a combined layout or is it luck? PS I look forward to coming later this year (brexit and covid permitted #sadface).

Grand prix circuit is usually used after pro races on the track. They keep the grand prix open for public because they dont have to save it for racing
Is this because I asked about seats with ears on the Facebook page 😂😂😂 Hoping I can get you in my car for an instruction lap this year as you were away when I came last year!
Why the mobile app is not working anymore ?
Can‘t wait until Devils Dines reopens again, it is just nice sitting there a watch all the cars coming off the track ......
Misha: No big wangs. 9:24 Bmw guy: What did you say? :D
The new GR Yaris is really the new M3 of the ring. When season really kicks off in spring / summer, it will be a Yaris fest 😂 It still is so sureal, the ring without people on the parkinglot. Can’t wait till this stupid covid sh*t is over!
👍🤓👍🇬🇧
Great video again Misha!
*** volume warning, caution headphones⚠️
When is the compilation video coming of all the ‘goooodmorning comrades’ ? 😎😁
Aren´t you wrong about the cars legality? If your car is legal in another EU country, german law cant trumf it?
i dont really get why the cars need to be street legal for driving on track or why a big not registered wang isnt allowed i mean it is made for track driving or track oriented modifications that dont fit in the StVZO.

Open already. BridgeToGantry (BTGDale) were on there at the weekend on motorbikes.
and i held my Card under the scanner like an idiot
Thanks for the tips Misha! Will actually be helpful when my car is finished, just heard that my dampers are still in backorder at Bilstein. Ordered other ones today and hope they will arrive asap so I can finish the car.
What about the catless downpipe ?
✌☺👌 good Video
You forgot the emergency areas, the orange zones
Good info
I just was about to call you guys at the apex today and ask some Q and you just uppload this video !
