Watch Ben's Lap With Misha! - • NOT READY! His First T...
This man has my full respect. He's open, honest, and full of the kind of energy that many people, myself included, can only hope to express. You would never have known how deep his story goes, and that's a testament to his character. No joke, someone should write a movie about him.
Agree!
hes a superstar without knowing it i almost idle this dude
you almost what?@@spongbob18
quite impressive indeed
yes!
Exactly a year ago I visited the Nurburgring for the first time with my mom. We watched the DTM races and then went to Apex to do a lap each in the Cupra. I booked a lap with an instructor and I was hoping to see Misha while at Apex. I was given a helmet, and when I got out Misha told me to get into the car with him! I didn’t expect this to happen at all but this was a dream come true. I’ve been watching Misha ever since the Boosted Boris days and his content made me obsessed with the track and made visiting the Ring my biggest dream. Experiencing the Ring with Misha made me feel extremely safe and I had a great time. When Misha said he gets a bit emotional when he sees a mother and son come to Apex together I couldn’t help but think about my dad. I was 12 years old when he passed away (it had been 7 years by then) and he was the person who got me into cars from birth. Both my mom and I were very emotional throughout this trip, knowing it would be me and my dad if he were alive. Misha and his content filled a big hole my father left, igniting my passion for cars and giving me a life goal during the hardest times of my life. In retrospect, it almost feels like my dad sent Misha to be my instructor around the Ring that day, and it certainly made my dream come true the best possible way even if it was without my dad. I want to take this opportunity to thank Misha for everything he’s done for me and for the special experience ❤
I'm happy to read you have had a great trip. It's also quite a coincidence I instructed you, because I simply don't really do this for the last 2 years.
So beautiful, we need more of this in todays world. Just misha being a downright awesome guy and giving forward sets the stage for a lifelong memory for us.
What a good post bro made me cry the world needs more people like u in it hard out I bet yah fathers so so proud watching from where ever we go.
I'm happy to know you had a pleasant and blessed experience. I'm very hopeful that I'll be able to meet Misha someday too.
@@utubetattoodude just saw this, made me smile ❤️
Also, don’t rush a story or conversation man. I’ve enjoyed your shorter form podcasts but generally an hour is quite short for a podcast these days, and tbh some of them could or should have been longer because the stories are important and interesting!
Yeah the guy has super interesting stories. Don't interrupt him.
I’ve drifted out and in with Misha videos and even go back to the boosted boris days. However I believe in the last year or so we’ve seen more of Misha in terms of his openness, his driving craft and his enjoyment of spending time with car enthusiasts. All the best Misha with the next chapter whatever that may be.
❤
Indeed. Always enjoyed his enthusiasm in his videos. Interesting back stories Misha.
I agree I know most of this as followed from boosted boris/the start of apex etc, but it is good to hear it's not some narrative and he is who we think he is most of the time. :) - Be good to see some more of Robert, Diana etc, I miss seeing the team. :)
Well said! 👍
@@mgcharoudin Misha please what's the name of the song? "Baldricks smatana demoto" just guessing, can't find it. By the way, love your channel, lots of respect now knowing how it all came together, thank you for sharing.
This was the first podcast i ever watched. Watched it from begening to end. It has been one of the most interesting stories i've ever heard. Now i finally understand why Misha has this constant "melancholic vibe" to him, even when he seems happy. Been through so much betrayal, loss and disappointment, that it's hard to heal back fully from it.
You're not wrong
@@mgcharoudinall the best homie
@@mgcharoudin I could only say that i unfortunately guessed right. Maybe someday you'll finally feel "at home", because your story really fits with the lyrics of the song "Long Way Home" from Middle Class Rut.
Anyway, like everyone else, i hope i'll get to the ring after i finish modding my car. (Golf 3 Syncro, GTI 16V swapped.)
Welcome to the world of running your own business(es). It's just part of it. You learn a valuable lesson each time and come back stronger.
@@mgcharoudinСпасибо за этот разговор с Беном! Спасибо за эмоции с NR! Удачи во всём!
The last 15 minutes are absolutely heartbreaking. We never know what's behind someone's past. Now I understand you a little more, your actions and your decisions, and you being or at least showing a positive vibe most of time is impresive and admiring. Stay up king, you are loved and you matter to so much people, you are strong and, after watching this you've become like a "hero" for a lot of us who also are struggling, and can empathise more with you and have someone to look up to. Thanks.
❤
@@mgcharoudin It's extremely brave to discuss something like that Misha, especially in front of an audience. Hopefully you went through the process of therapy / counselling for it and are on the right tracks with the baggage and trauma. Thank you for sharing with us, you are an inspiration to many💪
@@mgcharoudin Don't like the whole parasocial shit with youtubers, however: Your videos are amazing, I like how you're always keeping it positive and seeing the good in things etc. Hope everything goes well and thanks for sharing your story.
@@flannelderek😊😊
I only watched a few Misha's videos, but this interview is MASSIVE. Not only for the quality of the questions, but also for let him speak freely while explaining how he got to the Ring FOR ALMOST AN HOUR. Ultimately, kudos to Misha for being so open to speak of certain topics which for sure is not easy to talk to.
What a brilliant interview. I've had the pleasure of spending time with Misha in and out of the car and watching this sincere and honest conversation endorses why he has become such a popular guy. Wishing you both every success in building your businesses.
Very kind words 🙏
Couldn't agree more! It's nice to hear Misha count these stories.
He can talk a little more when he's not concentrating on not crashing a car in a 200 kmh corner :p
Yes a brilliant interviewer and brilliant interviewee. It's great when an interviewer knows when to let the person speak uninterrupted ... and also great when the interviewee is sufficiently comfortable to be so open in sharing their story. Top notch stuff.
Massive respect for your commitment supporting your father in such crucial moments - huuuuge respect and admiration for this.
❤
Thank you for the podcast. Watching Misha on and off for past couple of years. Recently finally went to Nurburgring myself and its just insane experience and what he does is just epic!
Cheers Jardier :)
It's nice to hear Misha's story. I think many people probably see him as some rich guy that gets to drive all of these fancy cars around one of the world's best racetracks for free, but like most people, he's just a regular person with his own worries and struggles.
His journey is mindblowing, nothing but respect to Misha.
Misha, You are a fucking King.
You inspire so many people on so many levels, I'm still not done watching the video but i literally had to stop just to comment that Misha is absolutely insane especially with his racekraft and mindset
Thank you❤
@@mgcharoudin I am at my budding karting career stage, and seeing you really makes me inspired to go forward, Thank you for your content.
@@mgcharoudin i hope to one day drive at the nurburgring hopefully as good as you with time and practice. Keep uploading the videos please! You are an inspiration even in countries where racing still is a taboo (india ☠️)
Please don't swear.
@@mikehunt1528 ❄️
Started watching Micha since he formed the team with Jimmy and Steve (SuperGT). His energy and openness in his videos besides how accessible/understanding he makes the more technical parts of the track and some of the cars. Nothing but love for the guy. :)
I just can say. Misha, thank you very much for your honesty. The time has flown by listing to this great podcast. Also, thank you Ben!
You are so welcome!
@@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast
This is the first interview I have seen you have done, Ben. They were very well thought out and meaningful questions. I didn't think I would watch the whole Podcast when I saw the timestamp but it didn't feel that long. Misha's stories were so interesting and it really gave us a good insight to all the challenges and struggles behind someone's smiles and success. Thanks for a great interview!
Yes, it would be good to see a video of you on a lap of the Nurburgring being scared shitless by Misha 👌🏽
Misha is just overall a great guy, been a viewer since many years ago, and to this day his rs6 videos helping people still warms my heart. Keep going Misha
At first I was like "here we go again with the youtube algorithm, some clickbaity podcast about the haha go fast nurburgring guy" but this ended up heartbreaking... Misha you're a legend, and you deserve all the best. The world needs more people like you in it.
Misha is very pure human. Very honest.
Maybe at times too honest for his own good, but on the other hand his honesty is the reason we enjoy his YT channel.
This podcast was amazing absolutely love Misha and all his content have been watching him for years now. Not going to lie I teared up a bit hearing him talk about his father and mother, my dad left us around the age of ten as well and I too had to be the frog that turned the milk into cream....you are an amazing person Misha never stop being you!!!
Thank you for the kind words🙌
Holy shit this interview went from fun CZcams personality to real man to man talk. Misha, you're a real one
300 kph on a racetrack, with your grandma, who is into it, is so special. What a great memory. Interesting podcast, thanks. Best of luck to Misha.
Me and my uncle have been watching Misha’s Nurburgring videos for the last 3 months. EVERY afternoon we sit and watch the daily video while we eat. Its getting to a point where we are thinking about traveling to Germany to visit this gem of a track, and hopefully we can meet Misha in person. 😆🤘🏽💪🏽🐐
Hope to meet you guys!
Misha isn’t just a phenomenal driver. He is an incredible strong human being who have been through a lot and always improved out of shitty situations.
You sir have my fullest respect and your a great example of a man!
Misha you did the right thing by protecting your mum mate. I know how you feel my Dad was the same. At the end of the day my wife and I looked after my Dad when he was dying he was only 50 years old. I made my peace with him before he passed so believe me mate you have done the right things. 🙏🇦🇺
I dont usually comment but this is really the best podcast episode i have ever heard, i dont usually listen to them because i find them boring but this was really great. Thank you for creating this.
Wow, thank you!
Been watching Misha since day one and such an amazing story! Last 20 minutes just brings a whole new level of respect for him and an appreciation for his journey
Incredible episode. Possibly the longest singular podcast I've ever watched, but it was worth every second. Misha is so interesting and engaging in everything that he talks about. Huge points for driving down there too Ben, that's dedication right there. Keep up the great work!
Cheers Joe!
What a wonderful interview. I’ve been watching Misha and sim racing the Nurburgring for several years now, appreciate the insights.
How brave for him to open up about his mum and his dad. Thank you so much
Genuinely happy with misha's success on youtube. I always admired his efforts and genuineness in his videos, but listening to him talk about everything that he has been through just puts more perspective on who he is as a person. I only have increased admiration for him now. Also very well on Benedict for making this podcast happen!!
What an incredible and open conversation. Incredible Misha, Genuinely it's bee a pleasure to see your brand grow and grow!
I've been hearing this podcast for a while, i think after Mat Armstrong podcast... this for me was the best mostly because Misha is a true legend, it was awesome to hear these stories until boosted boris stuff. He really left everything in the table. Genuinely a nice guy i have the pleasure to met 👍👍 congratulations my friend on the deserved success and much more to come 🙌🙌
I have watched whole podcast and this is where man can cry 😬 I've been watching Misha since the beginning of boosted boris and i like where things went also i didn't realize how difficult was his story, hopefully soon one of my car's will be ready enough for him to drive it and have longer conversation
Followed this man since he arrived at the ring.. apex the hole 9 yards.. this has to be the best podcast I've ever listened to.. what a story 👍👊 what a legend🙏
Had the pleasure of meeting Misha (and Pancake) last year and he's such a genuine and humble man, loved our laps and because of his videos I've gone back many times whilst introducing friends to the Ring.
Lets hope the years to come continue to grow for Misha.
Great interview. He is so open about his life. As long as the interview is, I could have easily listened to hours more.
Amazing interview with Misha! I follow his content daily since a long time ago. Loved to hear the story behind him and why he is the perfect example of getting up and fighting even harder when he had lost everything. Truly inspiring this is why he has become such a legend in the car world! cheers guys! Thanks for the podcast, it was brilliant!
You‘re a good Son! Protected your mum from a monster! You‘re not the hero or the King for the Ring, you re a hero and a King for your Family! Thats the most imporpant thing! ❤
Amen 🙏
Thank You Ben and Misha, for the raw talk and i really felt it too when he mentioned he wanted to do the ring with his dad and also his grandma, thank you for such a real interview.
I do love a he prefers to explain the process of what he's done in great detail instead of giving simple boring answers.
He's a dream for a podcast interview, ask 7 questions and get 1hr 30 mins of hugely interesting content
Geweldig! Volg ik hem al een tijdje, en nooit geweten dat hij een link heeft met Nederland. Leuk.
I only discovered Misha after watching him on AutoAlex's video. I've watched quite a few of his videos since then and loved them all so far and look forward to watching more. Now I know a bit of his back story, I've got nothing but the utmost respect for the guy. He's a great role model for people out there struggling. The dream will always be out there, you just have to not give up on it.
Great podcast 👍
Brought a tear to my eye near the end of this podcast. After watching Misha for nearly 5 years this was an incredible memoir of a side that I never knew. A true definition of diamonds are forged under pressure!
Misha is a legend. Been following his story for many many years and I love his open and honest attitude.
I was not expecting Misha to be so open, but I'm glad he was. Great interview!
I met Misha one year ago at the Nurburgring and I can openly say that he's the same person in real life, a friendly person, knowledgeable, down to earth and funny. He deserves all the praise he's getting. Hat off
This brilliant interview only confirmed why I love you and what you do Misha, thanks for being so open and honest and remaining true to yourself. I look forward seeing your continuing journey in life and at the ring. Best to you in the future!
Trip down to memory lane!! Always loved your "genuine you" Misha. All the best for whatever you pursue in life!
Fascinating to hear the backstory, always wondered about how Misha got to do what he does. Thanks. Now we need that race with Verstappen !
after watching this start to finish, my respect had grown even deeper for him not just as a funny guy who is an amazing driver but as an all around man
That was a superb and honest interview, Misha is so genuine and open that people can relate, and the same comes across in his own videos. Will be a sad day if and when he quits the Ring but if that's what's best, then that's what's best.
Such an amazing man and I had no idea of Misha's family history. Total and utter respect to that strength to go and believe in yourself and achieve everything you work for.
Totally endearing video and individual - Misha
Great journey story and excellent interview 👏🙌
You live life like you drive the Nurburgring ✨
Besides the excitement and variety of drives, it’s your warmth and genuineness that is equally appealing.
Love the story of your grandmother asking for more speed fully trusting you!
Congrats on your engagement, may you support the best in each other 🥂
The last 20 min of the video were really captivating. This deserves so much more views!
love it, great postcast. I appreciate that you give Misha the time to expand in his stories, is always nice to know the man behind the character
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have so much respect for Misha, and his outlook on what happened with his father is so enlightened!
Great conversation, it was really nice to hear all the stories from Misa's life and his road to where he is right now .
Misha.....you have been through so much.....hats off you stuck by your mum and defended her and stayed with your dad.....incredible story...a man of honour.
Brother Misha, I feel you. There is a connection between trauma and success, but there is right amount of trauma, too much can “kill”.
One of the best interviews i have seen in a looooong time 😊
30 seconds into the video I’m hooked. As a subscriber of Misha’s I know this will be a good upload.
Hope you enjoyed!
@@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast Absolutely ! Two very interesting characters both yourself & Misha. I have to also say the Ring lap was entertaining as well hahaa
Really good interview. You’ve uncovered some really interesting parts of his life story. I applaud his willingness to be so vulnerable.
Wow, this hit me hard. Misha and I have a similar parent situation. I'm 35 and recently had a mental breakdown. Life just felt impossible, but through counselling and cutting ties with certain people, I'm slowly finding who I am again.
Through this whole mental episode, I lost my passion for everything, Nurburgring included. I'm going back at the end of Sept and I'd love to grab a beer with Misha. Probs never happen, but would be mega 🍻
At least say hello!
@@mgcharoudin That would be cool. I'll be in either my M2 or Clio Cup 😃
Hope you get better soon and stays fine. Cheers!
@@mfelipetc Thank you 🙂
If you have not already,, check out a song titled Hi Ren, by Ren. Seems to be helping lots of people. Lots of other songs also.
Worthy of an inspiring book or film.Thankyou both.
The last 30 minutes make the entire interview worth watching. Not because of the obvious pain, sorrow, and longing. Rather the vulnerable & open sharing of the human experience; one that's not neat nor tidy and fake like far too many Instagram & Social Media 'influencers'.
All respect for who he is and are. And for what he have done. Very humble person.. love him
I've seen it all, amazing man... This interview shows so much of who you are... Amazing!
Wow, thank you for this interview! So many feelings in it. I found it emotional, interessting and entertaining at the same time...
Thank you Misha for sharing your story, I am sure, that it was not easy at certain moments 💪
Misha is such a nice bloke. He is so honest with his life story, he deserves every bit of success he gets.
Misha is such a great guy. I've been following him since at least 5 years. Such a humble personality. I hope he will stay that way.
Great interview! Thank You Misha and Ben.
Misha is the man! I have been following Misha since the Boostedboris days and also since the Ringgarage days with the e36. Because of the video's Misha made in the past I had a bit of an understanding of the stories. But Misha elaborating on this had me hooked. Love his content and will be watching it daily for as long as Misha will continue to produce video's!
We all love his videos!
Honest and genuine, that’s why people will always love you…. Great show
Fair play Misha. Very open and honest and so objective at the way you look back at your own life.
Amazing driver and a great mind. I never get tired of watching and listening to Misha.
Couldn't agree more!
"Almost 2h of a boring interview... I will never will ear it until the end".
That was I was thinking when I started to ear some of it.
Amazing story, love the way it was driven and all emotions on it.
Well done Misha and Ben.
I have been a fan of misha since boosted boris. Hearing all this I am happy that his channel has grown so much. He has earned it and deserves it all. Keep up the great video's misha en continue to show us how beautifully the Nürnburgring is.
You are an OG !
Misha deserves a lot of respect. Stoic and an honest man.
Such a story from the start until now.. Great interview. I watched the whole thing learning about Misha and his journey, nothing is easy or handed to you. Need a lucky break and the right contacts then you can grow into this...
Thank you for the interview!😊 It was amazing. Misha is good guy. I hope that everything in his life will be ok.
what a great guy, Im following Misha for years now and its so cool to hear his stories
He has a lot to tell!
Inspiring story Misha! Proves the grind and mindset is what it takes to make it. Glad your here to share the ring with us all. Ben did this interview very well and was excited to learn about Misha's growth as a driver. Thumbs up, sub'd and wish you both the best.
Thanks so much!!
Excellent interview, well done both you guys.
This episode was a slow burn (in a positive way) but the ending is like smacking into a wall at 300km/h.What an insight and perspective,well done to the both of you.
thank you!!
First ever podcast i watched all the way to the end and man i have always had respect for misha cuz hes so humble and man this ending hit really hard
Such a nice interview! Thank you!
Our pleasure!
I really liked the podcast, especially going off topic and these questions. Superb!
Incredible story and a great perspective into @mischa life and struggles.
Super interview. I have observed that a lot of super high achievers have a bit of pain (from whatever) that they need to bury and you can bury it with work or sport or whatever.
Great advice from your buddy re settling down. Also you work hard Misha and in general you are a super balanced individual that becomes even more professional every video.
Take a bow dude, you have achieved a lot.
Best Misha Interview EVER!
Now I understand the Man, the Legend, The Entertainer :-)
Love it
A really great interview again Ben. Bit fan of Misha and he was incredibly open here.
The last 20+ minutes… Good stuff! Well done.
Bang on interview!! Man, i had no idea. Judging by the accent i always assumed he was from Italy or somewhere eastern, Rather a fellow Dutchman goin' for the big leagues. Epic. Thanks to both of you for the epic insight & hearing about Mischa's past & present with his machines :) Rock on Dude!
Thank you Misha and Ben for this interview. All the best!
Thank you!
Awesome podcast - Misha is more inspirational than ever!
Just watched your "mouth mostly open" lap with Misha, and HAD TO watch this! Hope you do well. Mishas storey is a common rags to riches storey of struggle and overcoming life and its challenges to make it. He seems extremely genuine and likable. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Come across misha through carthrottle... and there content with this man.. and now knowing his story... so much respect.. lovely lovely guy. Came across that way on car throttle. One strong soul.. fairplay to him. Im not strong enough...
This was fantastic - he really articulates to us all on a level
Fantastic interview with two outstanding men!
Great video man! You're on your way to a lot more subscribers if you keep this up, there were a few audio dropout issues on your microphones but great content
Love the rev counter anology. What a lovely, inteligent, humble guy. Misha, I wish you continued success and most of all, happiness :)
