[@joshthelwell5988]

So surreal to see ,this exact car is actually my old S1 I never actually got to take it out on track at all like I had planned due to not getting around to doing a big brake kit yet so to see it doing a lap of the ring piloted by Misha is awesome. So glad Ammad has completed some of my personal goals I had for the car he’s a top bloke

[@JeffNoel]

Gotta love it when the owner of the car suddenly becomes your on-track mechanic to fix the shifter cover thingy that lifted up lol. This lap looked more intense and fun than many of your videos with much more powerful cars. It just shows how much fun a small car can be in the hands of a skilled driver!

Definitely haha! 🚀🤣

Great driving as always misha, I drove a friends 400hp S1 was insane in such a small car especially with Quattro putting all the power down very fun cars

[@game9370x]

nice video as always misha! you should definitely get your hands on a ibiza/polo gti 1.8 stage 3, they have similar power to this but way lighter and fwd. the s1 has had a major redesign to fit the awd system, using independent suspension compared to the standard beam that the other two sisters use. it would be very interesting to see how they act on the ring!

Yes mate definitely recommend these tyres, they are a good balance of street tyre/track which I wanted 💪🏽

If I didn't know it was an Audi in the beginning I would've swore it was an Abarth 😂😂

[@Antidepressiva1980]

That is a good one. Kudos ✌

[@juancarloslozano3374]

A good driver takes the best of any car. Misha uses the engine to slow down downshifting before curves... In México we name that as "frenar con motor" or engine braking.

[@p.t.3726]

S1 and S8 are my 2 favorite Audi S cars.

[@SPTSuperSprinter156]

I might be wrong but I think mechanically these are largely similar underneath as the Polo 6C GTI, so probably some options there in terms of parts to swap in.

[@Antidepressiva1980]

Please more hatchbacks. Maybe someone want to lend Misha a modded Kia ProCee'd GT ? Hehe , nice lap Misha and cool car Ammad ✌

[@sm4shy902]

Nice lap! In almost all your videos you do other lines before and after a corner compared to the other cars on the track. And some time you do other lines (it feels like). Im not a race car driver, but do you do different lines in different cars?

[@Antidepressiva1980]

Usually you do different lines based on the track surface conditions and the weather. There's always one optimal "dry" and one optimal "wet" line on the track. Combine these with traffic on the track and you get what you have observed. I hope i could help you out a bit✌

[@alloush5995]

Misha, how does a car like this s1, go through high speed corners at like 150+ with little to no downforce/aero? Is it just grip? Or other factors?

[@mgcharoudin]

Just grip

[@swecreations]

Low weight=more grip

Seeing the fuel level close to 0 gave me anxiety 😅

Awesome little car. But yeah it have too short gearing for Nurburgring

[@The_18th_Fret]

Misha how much do you think sim racing and having a rig at home helps? I drive on the Nordschleife everyday in AC in VR and it always blows my mind. I can't even imagine how thrilling it will be to finally do a real track day there

[@rarrdy]

Some dude made his career off sim racing so it definitely helps !

[@trafalgalaw777]

AC helped me alot, I could use 90% of my Knowledge from Sim racing when I was doing my first real life Laps. Also, if you´ve never been to the Nordschleife irl before, the elevation this track has will blow your mind :)

[@L03k1Boy]

VR does not show depth more than 10m I would say. Real life height differences and speed is way different...not even talking about the g forces lol. AC also gives you optimal grip which is less in real life unless you run michelin PS4s or something.

[@mgcharoudin]

@@instagib5085 I might have been exaggerating a bit since you really have to be over the limit for the car to loose grip. But it is the transition from grip to no grip that was to abrupt to my liking. The electronic nannies will keep you out of trouble though

Yeah just got one of these, little rocket ships of a car, a bit of fibbing under the bonnet and now it's 320bhp. Which is enough for the b roads near my home in Easingwold York, Britain. Anything faster and you going to meet a tractor on these roads and it's doesn't end well. As my old car experienced.

[@greyguy.960]

, it's ok. Depending compared to what? A modern hot hatch yes not as good as a M2. Audi is a bit dull anyway I've found had a few rs models in the 3 model. But I am an 80s and 90s kid so compared to natural steering such as my old xr2's, rs turbo, Renault 5 Turbo S1 is modern steering with a bad feel. I know that doesn't help sorry :)

[@greyguy.960]

@iNSTAGiB it's just a bit better than average. I have been in older Swift and they are light cars it feels light, have responsive steering, and as said you can feel the load. Swift is a great car to place and they feel alive. Audis are duller as you say, it's not an Rs model just an S and it feels that way. But it's the better of the bunch I would say. It inspires confidence and it's a nice for a smaller fast car. I'm a bit older so I'm getting to the age I want comfort and speed The best way is to test-drive one in my opinion. I did and I was sold straight away. It's a great car since Audi lost the problem of understeering.

[@johanjc]

I run similar setup and power on my S1 but with other pads fluid, lines and rotors. The stock pads were absolutely cooked after my first trackday. With real pads the stock calipers actually perform quite okay. Not great, but not terrible. Highly recommend that setup, if you don't wanna go all in with calipers and everything.

[@greyguy.960]

Never had mine on the track yet thought about just changing the pads myself . what would you recommend ?

[@johanjc]

@@greyguy.960 Depends on where you live and how you drive the car. Right now I'm daily-running a set of EBC yellowstuff. Good pad, but glaze up quite easily if you get them too hot after a long day of tracking. I run them only since I drive less on track now than before and also us the car 7 months during winter and they work well in cold weather. If you intend to just go track, EBC RP1 or RP-X work nice, but they won't work well during winter. Ferrodo have some good pads for track use aswell.
