TWO SPEEDY MANS ON ONE CAR ! WHAT A VID'

[@trumanhw]

Thank you for this Misha. This was exceptional. You know ... as much as foot work is amazing ... I would really appreciate if you could (instead of a camera looking at the driver from the side) show from behind the driver his steering inputs. I've been trying to study how great drivers turn in, back off, turn again ... to try to understand what they're doing. But from the side it's almost impossible to think through the turn and look at the steering inputs simultaneously. I know I'm just one guy ... and I love watching foot work also. But that really would be amazing. As it is, it's hard to imagine that a side angle of the driver is superior to seeing their hands or their reactions. It's not like we have any idea what you guys are saying. I know [that] you're talking to each other, but not what you're talking about. Just can't hear it over the engine. Perhaps if you used lav mics..? But that's a question to you whether that's important enough. And, it'd also be a real cost ... bc you'd have to use SMPTE code equipment to sync up multiple audio sources ... as audio sources often use 44.1khz to define a second. Whereas video is in seconds. Because of those slightly varied timings ... often the sound from external devices that aren't SMTPE encoded will be slightly different from a handicam, etc. I'm sure your video guy knows all about it. And for that reason I do understand forgoing those lav mics in race. But the over-the-shoulder cam is hard for me to understand how it's inferior to a profile view. Of course, I do know what's involved in these projects, as I've done some myself (not racing). And I know a ton more goes into it. You have all my respect. AND, my reverence for being a Rusky!! In fact, the disrespect Russian athletes were shown while the US forced Russia into a conflict compelled me to learn cyrillic ... and take a much larger interest in learning about Russia whenever opportunities arise. With great admiration ... thank you for all you do. Спасиба болшои друг! 🇷🇺 УРААА

Hi Misha! Rather than answering you, I'd like to ask you a question. I don't know if you talked about it in the video. Under equal conditions (traffic-free track, same car, etc.), how much time do you think Kevin would take on you over the 22 kms. circuit? He's a renowned professional pilot and you're an "expert driver" who knows the Nordschleife well.

[@EvanMaillardRacing]

⁠@@andypandy5486harsh but not wrong, as good as Misha is he’s nowhere near Estre or any competitive level. I’d gladly accept the challenge as well.

[@xX_Gravity_Xx]

​@@andypandy5486 Well, there are countless examples of supposedly less talented drivers showing up and being competitive. In racing, moreso than any other skill based competition, is extremely dependent on a variety of factors that make major differences in how much of a person's true ability is put on display. Misha being an Amateur driver, we'll probably never truly know how fast or competitive he _could_ be. If he dedicated his life to it, right now, and had no other obligations, I'd bet he could get to a similar pace. However, that being said, if I had to choose one to race right now for say, $1m, I'd choose Misha lol. Kevin Estre has had all of what he needed to be as fast as possible for most of his life lol. Of course he's a driving god, and obviously would crush everyone.

[@glidertastic5778]

Fascinating to hear him speak about how he feels a car. Quite insightful to hear about how a professional assesses a car's dynamics. I've never heard a driver explain how from their perspective a car feels and what it does(specifically a 911) in its transition from trail braking into a corner. Thanks for including that. The lap was awesome too!

Check out Suellio Almeida. He even teaches it. 🙂

[@ocavant]

@@divinasi0n Will do. Thx.

[@sp33dou]

All basic Porsches understeer heavily. It is a safe setup designed for inexperienced drivers. Street cars are almost never setup to oversteer under braking. It might even not be allowed feature straight off the factory.

[@AndrewTSq]

The sensation of speed on the lap :O :O can only imagine how it must have felt sitting in the car haha. Wow what a driver, and what a car!. It must have been like glued to the road, cause the amount of tire screech was minimal. Loved it.

[@ThorQualmann]

You are looking at one of the absolute best GT drivers in the world. Kevin is a beast. Mischa is as fast as an average rental karting driver that has driving nordschleife a couple of times. He is good at over-driving the cars though, crashing them too.

[@birelboy1]

That was bloody fast, even with him having room for error everywhere. I don’t know if I see it right, but it looks that he has still a lot of steering angle at 75% of the corners. Looks for me a lot in that stage of the corner.

[@ElswordGm]

In racing u don't steer using all the angle, the most angle u will have is in the apex while the car coast, now the trail braking is making the rotation, the car is floating (the car wants to understeer with the weight shift) and Kevin just give some imputs to the car to not spin, but in the verge, making the car turn more. U can clearly see that when he is going outside a corner, the wheel is almost straight but the car is still turning, because the rear is making the rotation and the front is just pointing, is the same as braking, but now the rotation is with the accelerator and you are playing with the understeer

[@guillermoguillermo4368]

​@@ElswordGmperfectly worded. It feels like top of the world steering with the pedals instead of the steering wheel and nailing the corner exit. I am just a sim racer and still a beginner but my goal is do it consistently and unconsciously on a sim. Long ways to go. 😅

[@leroloralarlora]

​@@ElswordGm it wants to oversteer under heavy braking, no?

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

@@ElswordGm The rotation can be tweaked by adjusting the rear differential pre-tension.

[@ElswordGm]

@@leroloralarlora it depends when you heavy beake, heavy breaking it ONLY with the front tires straight, if u add 1% angle, you have to lift 1%. Now if you heavy brake and steer with 1% force, then you drop the brakes to 80% to 10% you will oversteer. to control it you have to lift slowly the brakes and keep adding angle on the wheel without forcing the steering, all is made with pedals.

It's incredible how well he's memorized his braking points, and how disciplined / confident he is in never lifting. He is an ALIEN. You can just tell immediately, whether you knew who he was or were told nothing ... it's instantly obvious. SO smooth. Maximizes time at peak acceleration and minimizes any time between peak gas and brake. I honestly don't have the nerves to do that ride along. And that's despite knowing just how amazing his precision and competence in recovering.
