  • When it comes to driving the Nürburgring for the very first time, people are often discouraged by the track's technical aspect, the weather or other drivers. Today I will show you how you can be slow and safe on you first lap.
    Thanks for watching!

    That's actually a pretty interesting video. It's more or less how I'm thinking my first lap will be. I was kinda thoughtful at first about it though because I was always hearing that driving slow in the Ring can cause accidents etc but I think you made it pretty clear that if your purpose is simply to enjoy a nice relaxed drive, staying on the right side will be safe and ideal for everyone.

    One thing to note: Dont be afraid in the way like "The track is so tight that i am a bit afraid". This track is still like 6 or 7 meters wide. I was surprised myself the first time how wide it actual looks in person.

    Went to the Nurburgring last weekend and it was amazing. The experiance isnt only on the track, the whole area is great to explore. Great back roads, great food, the Nurburg was great, had an Apex taxi with the GT2(most violent fun you can have), also had the RSR experience with the new Civic type R, even took my own 318is shitbox for 6 laps. Any car guy should visit the ring for a few days.
    I even saw you Misha at the Apex quarters. Best regards from Ireland.

  • @norbertwangnick8356
    @norbertwangnick8356 Před 4 lety +46

    Misha, great advice, as always. May I add one thing: the importance of really using the rear view mirror(s). In most countries, except on German highways, mirrors are often neglected because the speed differential of all cars is almost zero. Therefore, most drivers are just not used to really using them, nor have they ever experienced a car seemingly “far away” being on your rear just a few seconds later, with a speed differential(!) of 100mph/160km/h. They’re going 60mph and think they’re fairly fast, but the guy behind them is at 160mph, on edge, and his well-being in this split-second situation depends on the guy in front now to not screw this up!
    That would be my #1 advice on a German highway, and also for the Ring.

    • @MichaelBlek
      @MichaelBlek Před rokem +4

      As with everything, the risk lies with the car going at high speed, you can’t count on a beginner who has every right to be on the public road to know it all. If you want to chase lap times and drive like a lunatic enter a race

    Enjoyed the tour with track names. The last time I drove the track was in 1965 in a VW Squareback. On that day both the Nordschleife and Sudschleife were open. There were no barriers at that time only the hedges and trees.
    BTW, there is also a section of road in the Mountains nortthwest of Frakfurt called the Schwalben Schwanze.

Unfortunately I find myself getting a little anxious just watching your POV footage, because the only thing running in the back of my head is all the fail vids I’ve seen of driving the Ring! After your vid I still want to go despite my that queasy tension in my stomach right now!😕😀

    Your last post's of RingTraktor and Touristenfahrten in general motivated me to much man!!!
    So yesterday morning,
    i just stept in my completely standard 1.4 Ibiza6L and drove straight from The Netherlands (Zoetermeer) to Nurburg.
    Man i was so slow at the track from the excitement but that didn't matter...
    Sticked to the rules and enjoyed my time on track!
    I had one of my best experiences in my life !!!
    So thank you for motivating me to go to the Nurburgring.
    Btw... Your video's are awesome and also very educational.
    Keep on going !!!
    Greetz, Melvin (ESRacing)

    The German idea of slow driving never ceases to amaze me, lol. The relaxed drive for me would be 90 - 100 kph. Yes, I am a Bmw driver who hates driving on busy roads ... or driving. Period. But even driving like I normally do on the Nordschleife would be a great experience . Love that you filmed this on a normal car, not a muscle car. And that kubica video. 👏👏

    Only people who hit this track consistently will know right?! At the same time, I’m worried about going too slow around the bend, and getting approached by cars who can approach the bend at double/triple my speed!
