This is how great memories are made.
And how great men are made 😊
well said
If you haven't suffered a bit then you haven't given you a chance to know yourself.
I imagine the tribulations are rougher when you're somewhat of a public figure
This is how PTSD develps
@@obtuseangler768I can only imagine.. so many eyes on you at once
I've watched plenty of endurance races in history, but watching this youtube video gives me goosebumbs. You do not need a quick car to show the heart of endurance racing. The story you are telling, the highs and lows you have been through, the anger and passion is what makes endurance racing, endurance racing. Wow, Misha, Steve and Jimmy you've got something special on your hands
Came here to see if I wasn't the only one. This is near all of my Nurburgring viewing. Best wishes from The States.
This is one of the best videos you’ve made mate. It was genuinely like watching a suspenseful documentary. All I can say is that shit happens, doesn’t matter wether you’re on track or off. The character of a man is not judged by how he is knocked down but how he picks himself up and keeps charging forward. Great effort all round. This is why we watch your videos mate.
Amen bro so true
Racing team mechanics are literal God's, the stuff that they can accomplish in such a short space of time is unbelievable. So proud of you and the team! Fingers crossed you get some luck next time though!
Glad we are getting the recognition 👍👍👍
@@jonesszzy5682Huge respect.
Outstanding team work.
I remember watching a rally car being rebuilt... after being launched in a river in an accident. There's a video on youtube, completely insane work.
Don't know which God you follow but must be human level
@@heisenberg9739 There is no other level. It's a human delusion.
Congrats to the whole crew for finishing in the face of adversity.
I was the guy getting his copy of GT7 signed by all three of you. Gotta say I’m very happy for all of you for pulling of one hell of a job all weekend.
Was the coolest sh*t ever rooting for the team every single lap with all the ups and downs on Saturday and Sunday!
Holy production quality! This is a perfectly put together video. Great camerawork and b-roll, and of course, 3 great drivers :D
Came here to see if I wasn't the only one. This channel has become near all of my Nurburgring viewing. Best wishes from The States.
The whole weekend was a massive succes Misha, even with all the broken bumpers and loose wheels. Jimmys stream had more viewers than the official (english) stream, and even there a lot of ppl in livechat where just there for you guys.
The marketing boys and girls at Bilstein should have a party and order some bumpers and wheels for next year in advance ;)
🎉
Man good on you for getting out of your own head after the crashes. I know how hard it is to bounce back from a crash and to do it as quick as you did is fantastic. Wish I could be there to support in person.
I can only imagine the stressful emotions after so much bad luck… doesn’t matter it wasn’t all your fault… anyone would be shaken, not everyone could get back in the RACE CAR. RESPECT 🫡
@@jonathanhansen7734 I can speak from experience: Hitting a wall will shake you, getting back in a car as quick as possible is imperative. Even if you only go out at 7/10th, you gotta get your legs back under you. The fact he did it this quick is unreal. The mental fortitude is no joke.
What a thriller of ups and down that was. Great job boys and great job team!
The thing I love most about this is how the racing spirit is very much alive. All the other teams pitching in to get a car into the race. Awesome stuff.
Everything else that happened "that's racing"
Your emotions, your story telling, the cut ins, made it feel like we were there living through everything with you. This might be your best video yet.
A story for the ages. Incredible effort all around!
Bravo, želimo ti još puno utrka i uspjeha. Pozdrav od navijača iz Hrvatske 😊
Ima nas i visee
malo nas je al nas ima😁
Ima nas
od prvih dana 💪
Samo jako i hrabro!! Ima nas💪💪💪
Honestly, if you told me a few years ago that a bunch of youtubers/sim racers would take on the Nordschleife (of all tracks) in a proper race, in a proper race car, against proper pilots, I would have probably thought it was either a mental proposition or a marketing stunt.
I have to say, you all did an impeccable job. If you think about it, none of you really made a single mistake, everything that happened to you truly was just bad luck, common racing incidents, mechanical problems or collateral effects from someone else's mistakes. You guys were clean, fast and composed at all times. Mad props to the 3 of you and to the whole team.
It was a monstrous effort not only from Black Falcon, but for you, Jimmer and Steve too. That was a baptism of fire, but I'm excited to see the next hopefully drama-free race!
This is an amazing story. I’m so stoked for you guys regardless of the setbacks.
Big up to Bilstein aswell for putting the work in aswell. 🤟🏼
If there's a certain amount of shit that absolutely needs to happen, might as well get it all out of the way in the beginning. Let's hope this is it and power through! 💪♥️
Unbelievable Misha, that must have been so stressful. Well done for pushing through, that took tenacity and character to get to the finish. You have the talent, you were just bloody unlucky.
So Bilstein, Black Falcon and Adrenaline Motorsport were awesome. To be honest, I think most of us already knew that. What we didn't know was just how amazing the three of you are together, as a team. Was fortunate enough to be on holiday at the time so I could stay up and watch the coverage, something that I'm never going to forget.
Миша, пусть эти гоночные дни в этот не простой викенд, будут самыми сложными на твоём жизненном пути. Пожалуйста береги себя!!! Смотрел этот выпуск и моё сердце сжималось в груди от эмоций и переживаний. Дальше только лучшее!!! Обожаю твои видео, они помогли мне в крайне не простой жизненный период. Спасибо тебе за твой позитивный настрой! Удачи!
Congratulations to you and the team on a great result. Especially in light of all the challenges. I'm looking forward to your progressing to even more, and spectacular, results.
Your honesty is so enormous!! What a great story!!! Thanks for all and up to the next race
Keep your head up Misha, it's racing and stuff like this happens all the time. Massive applause for you your fellow drivers and the entire team and keep being awesome!
its has been the first time ive been at the ring for more than 10 years and i have to say it was unforgettable. also i was in the paddock after your practice crash...
meeting you again after the first time since the 2019 essen motor show and meeting steve and jimmy for the first time was amazing, thanks for the entertaining weekend! i will surely come back for another race and i will be there at the 2024 N24!
thanks for everything!
-Basti (Homie of Logan Cup Daniel ^^)
I was watching live during that first unfortunate incident, and I'm glad to see that everything turned out fine. I had a great time watching you guys persevere!
The whole crew and drivers did great
Big props to Bilstein and the other teams for stepping up, and keeping the race up
Massive shoutout to Black Falcon and Bilstein. Amazing work from the entire team.
Well done to you, Jimmy, and Steve for driving so dang well, for doing so much work. You’re living the dream, and a lot of us are living it vicariously through you.
And that’s why Nurburgring is called the green hell. Awesome video as always Misha. Stay safe!
Ive spent the last 2 and a half years watching yoir content from hospital, as i have a rare illness. Your content has kept me going. I used to love racing before i got sick and was hoping to come over and support you guys for the race as a thankyou for getting me through these years. Unfortunately my discharge was delayed and i coulsnt make it. Good news is the myself, the staff and some of my friends pulled together to get me my forst ever sim rig so i can go racing again from my hospital room. Due to my illness ill never have the money to do it for real again even when i do get out, so this rig is going ro be great.
Once again thankyou for getting me through these years of bordem and hardship and i look forward to the next race and more content in general.
Deep respect for keeping it going and for the honest video 👍
That's racing... isn't it wonderful!
I'm looking forward to seeing your next race
Huge congratulations for the determination and drive to finish
Great weekend. More to come!
Well done to all involved. This is racing. With over 40 years as a mechanic and sometimes driver , in Classics , Rallies ( including 3 Hong Kong to Beijing rallies ) , Touring cars, Formula cars, Gt3 , Gt4 cars, 24 hour endurance races and more , motorsports teaches you a lot about yourself, it's humbling many times . You make life-long friends and learn every time . Yes , the wins are incredible highs , but at times there are incredible lows . It's how you get through these times that you learn the most . This is the spirit of racing. It's not for everybody, but the people you meet , are many times some of the best people, because of racing.
Look forward to seeing you all back out there.
Hopefully ill make it to the ring sometime, would love to have you take me round it .
All the best for the next one guys and gals .
Nigel S .
I know a lot of race mechanics, one for corvette racing, a few nascar guys, a few top fuel guys, a ton of prodrift support, and they all have one thing in common; absolutely savage mechanical skills, flawless team coordination, and a love for competition. Good effort despite the hiccups.
Everyone crashes. Winners never give up. Living the dream Misha. Never stop.
Misha announces 4th driver just after making a video with Walter Röhrl. Illuminati confirmed? 👀
Haha no, that would be amazing, but he a) can only drive Porsche and b) doesn't want to
@@mgcharoudinI randomly rewatched the robert kubica m4 lap this morning, dunno why, cause i've already seen it 2 times. could that be a coincidence? hahaha
@@mgcharoudin
Hi MiSHA..
Us old 'fellas just watched your video of participation in 12hour Nurburgring.
WOW. talk about some great learning experiences hey?
Welcome to the REAL world of Motor Racing with its moments of "exhilarating Highs" !
👍😃👍...
and ego-crushing Lows
👎🥺👎
We old fellas thoroughly enjoy watching your video Misha.
Revives memories of our young days competing in national Rally & Touring Car championships of 1970's-1980's.💞
Whatever happens on the track makes for good Life experience when you learn from your mistakes & improve for next time !
👍😎👍
Our Ladies love seeing your Lady Meggi sharing your experiences too 💞
Take Care On the Track
ALL the Very Best Misha for you & Meggi in your life together... GODbless ✝️
This is an good example of what is going on inside of "Motorsport". Mainly resolving problems through out the whole race.
Fantastic effort all around. I'm sure everyone learned a lot. Congratulations on finishing your first race with the team bro.
you are as unbreakable as the car has been, still going for it even after all this sh*t 💪🏻 😎
You did your best Misha. These things happen in motorsport unfortunately. The team went above and beyond to make sure you all got to live out the dream bilstein has afforded you all. Keep up the work and can't wait for the next race
Nice work dude, shows great character to come through all that still smiling. Great team effort, Great individual effort too. Makes for a fantastic watch too love this
Incredible, so cool to see, excited for the next adventures with the 3 of you and the team. Congrats on finishing the race
Grazie.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Can't wait for next NLS
Redemption Timeeeee :D
Laughed my ass off when my goofy face appeared on screen having my photo taken with the three amigos @11.40. What a great event to witness in person, and can confirm Misha is every bit as friendly and down to earth as he is on screen. 👊
Most people just see the finish order or the pace difference and think that it's the whole story. He's just slow. But to face all the adversity with the car and the track and the incidents and misfortune and not quit and help the team to finish the race. THAT is the Racing spirit you need and embody and you should be very proud. If you had given up any of those times you had the opportunity, you wouldn't be a racing driver, but you powered through. Good on ya Mate. Great result and dedication regardless of the challenges.
If you're not rubbing, you're not racing. Tremendous effort! Congratulations!
Bro you gotta be more focused
Keep on the great spirit you have Misha! Hope to see you guys on a podium very soon! Much love and respect from Brazil!
Awesome effort guys! All of the best for the upcoming races!
Congrats bro and the whole team! for finishing the race against all odds. Great drivers are created like this. Best of luck for the upcoming 4 H!!
This is unbelievable, you guys are so talented, is good to see someone making this dream of a lot of us come true, very great ending and good teamwork, thats all matters at the end!
This literally is what I dreamt most nights when I was young and I’m sure for most! Absolutely incredible…the most amazing thing is how you teach frustration and remain focused and humble. Bravo 👏 looking forward to watching the next race
I work at a bmw specialist for body work and what they did in the time they did it is very impressive. Hats off to the team and others that helped. Makes me want to go work for someone like that too bad theres no race teams near me.
Awesome job guys, Love how you never gave up!!!
This is racing, the ups the downs, all of it. I have a background in Motorsport (nothing as cool as being on the ring) and can completely relate. Props for the transparency with admitting your mistakes (they happen to literally everyone) and for you as well as the whole teams resilience! Stuff happens and you can’t give up! Your team is stronger for having made it through this! Keep up the hard work, the results will follow!
So nice to see team work. The name Bilstein resonates with me. Im 52 years of age and when I was in school some 40 years ago we use to follow rallying and Bilstein suspension in Ford Escorts were the name to be seen with in the Welsh Mountains.
Amazing job considering all the circumstances! 🤯
Great emotions and great video as always 😉 Thank you for the insights!
This is what a race should feel like, a pure roller coaster of emotions, anger, joy, fear and finally pride. I always look back at the races I took part and the ones with the most unexpected incidents were the most exciting for me
This is just great, it only shows that if you have amazing people around you everything is possible. Keep on pushing Misha, you are doing a fantastic job and you are a big motivation for many of us!
What a story Misha, you're my hero! You and the entire team are incredible and you all really inspire me. Never give up!
Having been to a dozen or more endurance races (as a spectator), including blagging our way into the pits for a 24hour race at Spa, I am in awe that you managed to finish at all especially with the issues you had and worked through for all those high pressure hours. Just finishing a endurance race is an acheivement it itself. It truly is a team effort. I think for an endurance race this motto is perfect: "Never Give Up, Never Surrender"
It's astounding how you guys still finished the race. I am very, very excited to see you guys race again! My favourite trio :)
You guys did an amazing job! Amazing work in both races, you had just about everything thrown at you. Can't wait to see what you do with some better luck!
3:57 Jimmy is like that goofy dragon from the meme 😂two of them are serious and then there's jimmy lol.
Even though it was a massively stressful experience, nobody was hurt and you made memories with people that will last forever. Well Done Misha!
The true definition of a team right here! Anything you can learn from is a positive Misha, keep on pushing forward.
This is racing... Not much more to say. I was a team helper/mechanic (SSP 600 IDM, Yamaha R6 Cup and then again SSP 600 IDM) and later raced motobikes myself (SSP 600) back in the days and we had some quite "interesting" events. Its a hard job for everyone and you need to WANT to do this. Keep on living your dream! Its a waste of time, a waste of money, risking your health or even your life, but in the end its just pure passion and it really can be rewarding, Cheers
The whole weekend was such a rollercoaster. I was glued to the Bilstein/Doorbent Livestream on my Laptop, while having the Official race stream on my TV. I had a window with live timings open... Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!! What all of you acomplished that weekend was insane. Yes the Bilstein/Blackfalcon team where fighting to keep the car in the race, but you guys did too. And what a sight to behold it was. It was one of the most entertaining races i can remember. Loved every second of it.
Now... You Misha... You had a few crashes that got in your head. By themselves they where hard enough to just get back on the horse. But in your case you also have Meggy there now. You have everything to loose... And that, i bet played a big part too.
You fought as a lion. Those dark hours on the first day. You could feel on our end how you fought. And on day two, you had all odds against you. Fatigued and somewhat demoralized. Car acting all crazy. Yet you brought her home. Not just that, but actually P5! Wow!!!
You guys make an amazing team. And i hope to see many many more races with the 3 of you as a team. You are just as much a part of the team as Jimmy or Steve or the guys in the Pit are. This was the first 12hr Race. Well 2x6 but anyways... What you did was amazing. You had a few shares of downs... but they always come... And so do the Ups...
Can't wait to see more. 🙂
Greetings from Denmark
And thanks for an awesome weekend. 😀
Truly inspiring🙏. I’m a sim racer and occasionally take my car to the track a couple times a year but for people like me it’s cool to see that maybe one day we can find our way out there.
congratulations, well done! i happen to just stumble upon misha a week ago and i get to experience this?? amazing and thank you for sharing.
Yep, that's motorsports... You have your ups and your downs.... Emotional roller-coaster ride is guaranteed in this sport, particularly when racing on the Nordschleife. I had a similar experience, but by far not as dramatic, in my first VLN race (6 hour). In qualifying the owner crashed the race car going into Schwedenkreuz and hit the right barrier hard. We only had 3 or so hours to repair the car for the start of the main race. I was second in line. On lap 5 the car started to gradually run rougher and rougher and on lap 7 I had to pit. The third driver took over but only could do 1 lap and pitted. The team tried to find the issue and with the help of another team it was found that a lambda sensor had broken, probably an aftermath from the crash. We called it a day. Again, emotions were everywhere. A shame we didn't finish the race with a checkered flag. But that's racing. Your next race will go much smoother, I'm sure of it 👍
This is the spirit of endurance racing. These stories are what really makes endurance racing such an incredible sport. Well done.
keep on going bro, you're doing fine, dont lose hope, just keep going for the fans and the Bilstein! BRAVO!
Congrats to the whole team, drivers and mechanics for finishing the race
Don't stop believeing in your dreams. And never give up. Always keep punish forward until you finally succeed. Excellent video❤
My goodness M! Been watchin you 3 for years...from dreams being dreamt to becoming reality, congrats to you all!!!
On the edge of my seat over here, amazing story! Despite the odds, congratulations on finishing the race!
Wat een geweldige prestatie, Misha!
Nice to see you all push through and get a great result!
Misha you are looking better than ever! Saw an old video of yours yesterday, watched this after and the difference is big
I love how detailed and honest you are. Everyone on this team contributes their own style and perspective, but it's really hard not to enjoy your videos more.
And I've been following all you guys for years now so there's no bias there. Was super pumped when you announced you would be racing here as a team. I had read between the lines and knew you were all working towards it, but for it to come to fruition is really something special. Super happy for you and wish you the best of luck in the future.
Black Falcon carried out some black magic to get everything they did done. Great job Misha, great job Jimmy & Steve, great job everyone involved.
Great stuff and keep pushing Misha!
This was a roller-coaster start to finish! Incredible effort all round, congrats!
I am so proud of you. Proud to all of you. Thx Bilstein. Thx guys. It was so hard but you don't give up. You are so AWESOME. ❤ from Czech rep.
Great job given impossible circumstances! Your whole team is incredible!
You guys did a great job, the most important thing is to never give up, you guys have our support 🤗
Awesome video and story. Good luck in the coming race!
Endurance racing is so stressful. Props on you guys to finishing it!
It is the ultimate test to the teams, skills, cars, and luck.
As a fam, I have to say we are so proud of you!! You've been challeging yourself and the car, and that's what being a driver is all about! Much respect
Hard work always pays off. Its awesome knowing what happened on the race in detail, we were so worried 😅😂. Such great news you are racing this weekend 💪
All the hardships and difficulties and yet you guys still pulled through in the end. Such an epic journey. And it's just the beginning of it. Great job to everyone in the team and to you guys! I'll certainly be looking forward to the next episodes of this adventure
Well done to all 3 of you and the team! What an experience!
This gives me a lot of hope Misha! Thanks for this I want to be in your position of racing eventually.
Utter congratulations for finishing after all the hardships and challenges. Overcoming adversity like that shows just how good the team is and how well it functions - kudos to the other teams for helping keep you on track . Awesome .👌👌🏴🏴
This man is on fire! Great effort all around. Even greater story. Congratulations lads.
What a story and amazing events. I mean to find out the details from "behind the curtains" is even more amazing. Great job for you as drivers, amazing job by the teams supporting you and good luck from now on!
This is the beginning of a hero , we love you and we support you and i really hope to take a hot lap with you in the nürbergring
