- He's garnered over 1.2m subscribers with his top-quality content filmed from the mighty Nürburgring Nordschleife, and now the one and only @mgcharoudin is the guest of my latest podcast.
What I love about Misha is that he's a true driver at heart - performing up to 1000 white-knuckle laps of the iconic 13-mile race track he calls home each year, in some incredibly varied and capable machinery.
In this podcast, we talk his early days, the evolution of the last nine years living inside 'The Green Hell', and compare notes on racing now that he's delved into competitive motorsport. - Auta a dopravní prostředky

It was nice meeting you and chatting to you! Next time, let's do it while driving a lap of the Nordschleife!
yespls
That would be a great video!
*Misha is here.*
Do it!!
A few laps each ben will need some practice .. LOL
I miss the Ring "Queen" .
We all miss Sabine the Queen of the ring :(
Yes - legendary
Yup super sad she was awesome
We all do. Rest in peace Sabine.
@@BenCollinsDrives You too sir , love your work .
It will be difficult for anyone to fill the shoes left by Sabine. Misha has done an incredible job learning the circuit intimately, and taking fans of the Ring round faster than they might ever do in their own car. If anyone in the world is carrying on that torche, it's Misha.
I’m pretty sure he’s not trying to fill Sabine’s shoes, he has a lot of admiration and respect for her. There are also other pilots that are more experienced around the ring. I’m just starting to see him being called the ring king, i’m pretty sure he does not think of himself as being the king.
@@MrTchou King of the ring is Kevin Estre
@@StewartEvans52 You didn't understand it mate. Let it go .
You so right 👍
@JRspinFPV - lol, no "torche" bearer, I'm afraid. Far from it. The only "torche" he is carrying, is the one belonging to the owner of the track.
Ben this was FANTASTIC !!!!! You talked to Misha like he's a seasoned professional, while Misha was obviously in awe of getting to spend time with 1 of his heroes.
Misha's my favorite You Tuber & I've been subscribed to his channel for over 8 years. I hope I get to see you 2 driving together on the Ring, ASAP.
Thank you so much!!
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it - more to follow!
@@mgcharoudinSir ... I've seen you drive ... but who you are is more important ... top bloke 😊 respect 😊
Really nice comment, my friend. 👏👏👏👏
My two favorite drivers together in one place! ❤
Same for me 🎉
So Misha this is the first time I've heard you speak at length and I must admit I had previously prejudged you based on tiny clips. You came across as passionate, knowledgeable, genuine. Thanks for taking the time.
You need to watch more of his videos. The man's empathy and "down-to-earthness" are front and center, and his depth of knowledge has grown alongside his channel.
Watch his other podcasts if you have time, he’s genuinely a great guy he’s humble and passionate but also puts others ahead of himself. I’m near meat riding now but you get my point😅
I've seen few podcasts with Misha now, but this one is superior by far. Pure driver questions, no boring talk at all
Misha is a great guy, humble down to earth, genuine and ambitious. He will also help those who need it when he can which I rate a lot. All round top guy.
Ben Collins tackling Nurburgring in a tuk-tuk? I'm in.
He's going to have to auction seats on that thing, everyone wants in.
Two of my favorites - THE Stig, and Misha. Misha is eloquent, to the point and engaging and Ben is…well, he’s Ben Collins. When he says things, I listen.
This is the meat of CZcams in my mind. People I want to hear from, interviewed by people who know their shit and have a vast amount of experience without all the flamboyant Social Media nonsense.
Fascinating guy and I look forward to getting on track with him - I still haven't learned the Ring & nobody knows it better
@@BenCollinsDrives Have you not been around the ‘Ring at all? I’d have thought with all the Top Gear exposure alone you’d have taken a run or two around there.
@@BenCollinsDriveswait?!! You haven’t learnt the ring yet? You can even do it on mobile these days there’s no excuse Ben😅or do you mean you haven’t learned it in and out as in bumps etc?
Nailed it.
Isle of Man TT track is often overlooked.
Unofficially there are somewhere between 200 and 264 corners on the 37.73 mile Isle of Man TT “Snaefell Mountain Course”
Ben you should move to the ring, learn it and set up a ring taxi.... Imagine laps with the stig😮 you'd make an absolute fortune mate 👍👍👍👍
Not a bad idea
In a tuk tuk!
Solid "retirement" plan right there. Someone find this man a proper Suzuki Liana!
AFAIK ring taxi services are blind-auctioned every few years to only a handful of companies. So not everyone can just go and open a business to offer this service. But I'm sure the already established ones would welcome Ben with open arms :D
CZcams has tossed me some Misha videos, in the past.
Being the cynical old fart that I am, I admit to not taking them too seriously (just another social media "star" taking excessive risks to flog "shock" content).
Admittedly, I am just another moron keyboard warrior, sitting behind a screen in Miami, but this interview has, for obvious reasons, completely re-calibrated my opinion.
Put it this way, 38 min flew by as fast as a ring lap.
The insight pertaining to the "rules of the road" and insurance, on the ring, has answered questions that I have had for years.
Thank you and hats off to you both.
Same - not tolerant of the whole "selfie" nonsense - the format of those vid's just ignited my _skip_ reflex! Had no idea he was such a solid dude.
Probably won't watch his stuff though unless he changes to a less teen fan-girl format.
@@dancarter482 I agree. I probably won't watch either but I do have a different respect for him. He has clearly put in the work so has earned his stripes. Regardless, I am unable to compute anyone handing over their car keys for a chance to be ripped around the ring. No f'ing way but, hey, to each his own.
The question at 17:00 - just to elaborate on Misha's answer... He's mentioned in the past that the biggest safety choice he made was to stop being someone _else's_ passenger. He said he made this choice because he had more close-calls at other people's hands than when he's driving, and his videos reflect that. Best move in my opinion.
Cheers Ben! 👍😎🇦🇺
Fun fact, my Mum lived next door to Sterling Moss about fifty years ago! She was a teenager then.
Thanks Ben. I hope you get to work with Misha again someday. 👍😎🇦🇺
Ive done about 23,000km in sim at the Nürburgring and desperatly want to take my bike there. Im from Canada and its been a dream of mine since I did my first laps in NFS Shift. Love this video guys thank you!
Was fantastic to see you 2 together, seeing him sign the book as well.
Would be great to see you both with jimmy and steve doing a few challenges 😂
I rarely ever take the time to listen to a podcast, but this I want to hear! :)
I haven't watched or listened yet, but you two on camera chatting looks great - you have so much in common. I'd love to see a lap around the Ring with you both. Or even a series where you both review/take cars around the Ring and bounce feedback off each other.
I really enjoy both your channels so this seems like a match made in heaven.
This is the best video I've seen for years.
Two of my favorite CZcams racing channels to watch. @BenCollinsDrives you are so humble and just generally seem like an average bloke considering your racing pedigree! keep all the different videos coming - the in car racing, the one off car tests, the interviews... all great content
2 of a couple of my favorite drivers in the world. Ben is such an awesome human, and I have huge respect for him. Misha being on the Bilstien race team has been so much fun to follow lately, and I've been following Steve and Jimmy for years which has been the most epic johrney to follow. Cheers guys, great conversation here
I visisted the ring for the first time last year and actually bumper into Misha. The advice he gave for first time drivers there is spot on, follow it and you'll have the best day of your life.
Always enjoyed Misha's content and Ben is strongly becoming one of my favourite level headed motoring personalities, together these two would be awesome going round numerous courses. Really want to see these guys together around the Nurburgring.
I wonder if I hold the record for armco replacement. My insurer was charged for 600M! I think it was EU15k and this was 20+ years ago! I came over the small crest after Tiergaten and aquaplanned. The clouds had just dropped rain really quickly and I didn't slow enough for the conditions. After going along the left barrier for a long time (locked wheels do nothing on grass!), the kink in the barrier sent me across the track into the barrier of the right side of the track which I hit at 45 degrees still with quite some speed. I bounced back into the sliproad of the left just before Hohenrain-Schikane! I'd done around 100 laps at the time in different conditions so whilst not an expert, I knew my way around a bit.
I'm really glad you covered insurance. Too many people drive the 'ring thinking that they're only risking their car. People have lost their houses when they have to personally cover medical claims due to not having a policy in place. Before my accident, I checked with my insurance broker as it didn't look excluded but I wanted to be sure. The broker said the underwriter didn't want to cover me. I replied that if it wasn't excluded then I was covered regardless of their thoughts on it. They agreed and issued a new policy specifically stating that the Nordschleife was covered. I stuck with that insurer for a few years due to that.
Great video. I'm surprised Ben hasn't experienced it. I couldn't resist and wanted to experience it once .... and ended up visiting from the UK twice a year.
Great guest and episode.
15:48 A track walk with the both of you on camera would be a great idea. Two minds with very similar racing experience.
That Ending!
This was great Ben. Living legends. Make sure you take up his offer at the ring and maybe more? Stay hungry ;)
Would love to see Ben doing laps of the ring, excellent Ben and Misha. Great video 😁
Maybe one day!
Guys, this episode was awesome...thanks for putting the time in for is to enjoy these stories, info and clips
Such a great podcast with you two guys.
May the gods of speed be with you.
Cheers
What a great video and dropping the Easter Egg of an up coming game I had not herd of was just a bonus. Two great guys talking about a great passion.
To both of you, well done and thank you!
Watching Misha since the beginning. Very cool guy.
Also was watching every Top Gear episode 🤷♂️
One of the best drivers around, and Misha
Having been many times and spent hours reading crap about the track on forums. This was the best information and described superbly.
Thanks
A very enjoyable video, some great questions and insight from Misha.
Awesome vid. Two of my heroes being humble about their respective skills. Lots of useful tips about driving at the Ring from Misha. 👍
This is such a great collab, loved it!!
Loving the range and variety of guests you're chatting to!
Great interview 👍
Props to Ben for still fitting in that 2002 Daytona 24 Hour race suite
Two legends together. Big respect for you guys. ❤
What a brilliant video, thank you once again
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant! Misha showed me how to drive around the ring for two laps. Amazing instructor
Soo cool to see both these drivers talking about cars and racing . I'm Sure Ben will have a lot of fun on the Ring , watch out for the 6900m part :3
Great interview 👍😎
Great video and discussion... now I want to see Misha driving round Blyton Park!
🤣 Misha? I found his channel before yours, Ben. He reminds me a little of Sabine, RIP. He is fun to watch.
Wow I have been waiting to see this forever!
really enjoyed this. subscribed
A very informative video. Great questions with unexpected answers.😮
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting interview!
Nice to hear the people that come to you to drive their car want you to send it.
I do agree. I started with the nurburgring after that went to zolder and Zandvoort but it felt boring compared to the ring. It was fun but it was not as exciting as the ring. Iearned the track in forza motorsport. First time I came there is was quite nervous but when I started the first lap I did know all the corners speeds where different and it was way easier to feel what the car could do. Since I did more than 200 real laps with multiple cars and sometimes my motorcycle. I really love the track. There is nothing like it.
Lots of great technical information and courtesy about lapping the 'Ring here.. Well worth a watch in my opinion. A yes for the Tuktuk lap!
Awesome vlog. Straight talks no bs. Awesome hearing experience talk without promo or brand speak. N'ring is my holy land. I got a gsx s1000 ride planned. And glad to hear sims help. Assetto corsa competizione is my goto
Great interview. Hands down
Those 3 tracks you've been on, Misha, are probably also the top 3 most fascinating and inspiring among European tracks but actually Bilsterberg around Hannover should be great fun too, I haven't tried it myself. Great interview, no babbling, just gold nuggets, thanks very much to both of you ♥🙏
Nice CHAT!!! Loved the secrets!
Great guest and great interviewer, been following misha for years, would be excellent to see you both sharing a lap soon.
Never been to Nordschliefe before yet learnt the track from granturismo over many years, must be over 1000 laps, recently realised I can watch any 5 seconds clip of misha doing a lap and know where in the lap it is and the next corners, think I can get it in 3 seconds but definitely within 5.
Would love to offer my limited knowledge for a passenger guide service to you Ben! it’ll make me take my EP3 over from Cornwall
So often racing drivers ego's and braggadocio can get in the way of an insightful conversation. This though; What a great interview! Mutual respect from a pair of superstars.
Great interview
The cumulative driving knowledge of these two men might be unsurpassed. There can't be many other individuals out there that have driven so many different vehicles in a wide variety of scenarios. Misha driving 500 different cars EVERY YEAR around the toughest course on the planet. Ben having done all the Top Gear tom foolery, racing history, special forces instructing, etc. So entertaining to see this melding of minds. Cheers gentlemen, hope to see more stuff with you two in the future.
Absolutely loved this.
Great stuff 👏🏻
Great interview Ben!!
This is my Number 1 DRIVERS VID
What a Privilege to see 2 Professional Very Fast Humble
Talented Reserved STARS
I would LOVE to see a pt2 and pt3 of this at the Nürburgring!
I was riveted, both of you so humble.
I would love to see a series where these two drive a car ... maybe a sponsored GT3 RS ... around different tracks around the world and discuss their tactics as they go. Lots of entertaining possibilities there.
Enjoyed that very much.
Two legends 🎉🎉🎉🎉 we need a green hell video on the ring with this 2 asap
Misha and Ben on the nurburgring. Already I can't wait. Need to take something with plenty grip.
Excellent interview. Looking forward to seeing Ben at the ring.
Great interview as always. Great to see two men who have the petrol in their blood talking about cars and other stuff 😊
Two of my favourite CZcamsrs! :)
Fantastic video. It shows how humble and respectful Misha is, as we only see a small part of who is is when watching his youtube videos. Cant wait to meet you next month to drive my car.
Absolutely!
Amazing video ❤
2 of the best drivers out there
Thanks! 😃
really good interview, very generous listening and questioning.
better than most journalists.
thank you I'm learning as I go - love hearing how people get to where they are in life
quality like it fella’s 🔥💯💪🏻
Hahaha, Misha saying simracing is a cheap gem to learn the ring... he's right... and he was my instructor back in 2017 for 4 laps, he wasn't convinced as much back then, glad we won him over, hahaha. Love you Misha, thanks for everything you do!!! Glad to hear you are taking your rest seriously nowadays! Well done, Ben, great Interview!
Thanks for sharing
Enjoyable watch....thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Great interview with a quality individual! Cheers!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I also have the book at home
I loved reading it and was surprised it was less about technique but more about mindset and philosophy of driving better/faster ❤
Thanks for sharing!
Misha love ❤️ the channel one of my favourite channels to watch on CZcams you said a lot of videos not shown because the car was not up to it brakes and tyres 🛞 would love to see them and I would watch all them like I have the rest 👊 great work 🇬🇧✊
great interview! :) great drivers in one place. :) when misha mentioned about racing in other tracks, was thinking about asian tracks, especially japan. :) Suzuka, etc. :D
love misha, love ben!
what a pair ❤
Can't believe this . My two favorite channels in one video (!!)
Microprose GP, what a game, and what a chunk of my childhood.
Love watching Misha videos
Wow! Godspeed!
Top video. Misha is such an interesting and open guy to listen too.
Couldn't agree more!
Both of yous are amazing drivers
misha is not an amazing driver 😂😂😂 misha is extremely overrated and overhyped , nothing more then an extremely mediocre driver
Two top blokes here!!
That was fantastic
I love nurburgring so much I have 200+ hrs on assetto corsa.
Done nothing but drive different cars in the nordschleife.
And now that it got added on ACC (I wished without the gp track). I drive there non stop when I got time.
And again what you learn from the AC nordschleife helped in the ACC version. Minus the gp track I hate it.
Lap by lap trying to improve the lap
great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
I've read half of the book when I was on vacation and someone had left said book there, and it was amazing read during breakfast!
it cool to see misha geek out.doing like some of his passengers do i mean its the freaking stig
Top 10 interviews of all time in my opinion
Make this happen, guys. Two of my favorites, right here. Let's get you to the Ring.
