First Lap: Ferrari 488 Pista breaking in on the Nürburgring!

A couple of times a year the Nürburgring TF drivers are being blessed with the so-called VLN-layout where a part of the GP-track is being added to the Nordschleife during public sessions. This was such a day and what way is better to enjoy it than with a brand new Ferrari 488 Pista?

Thanks Misha!! 👊🏁🍻

[@tommihommi1]

I think the Autobahn trains people in Germany to look at the rear view mirror more than it is the case in other countries, and that comes in handy on the track as well

[@fazeobama8872]

still plenty of bad drivers in germany... mostly on the weekends tho

[@cosminmihu9963]

Driving fast constantly makes you a much better driver. It also helps to be the type of person that can feel and understand the limits well.

[@Tomelino]

Maybe more than in other countries, but compared to 15-20 years ago, german driving skills are more and more bad.

[@cosminmihu9963]

@@Tomelino Yes I agree, every year i've noticed a decline. I only travel through Germany twice a year so I immediately notice a difference. But I've noticed bad driving behaviour from mostly immigrants.

[@fao5917]

Honestly the amount of respect for each other on the German Autobahn amazes me everytime. Driving over 200km/h in Germany feels safer than driving 120km/h in Switzerland

[@mzhp317]

Hahaha one of the few Pistas that actually sees a track in its life. Robert is an actual boss.

[@AB-80X]

There are quite a few Pistas being tracked a lot.

[@stefanconradsson]

I love that a russian and an american are driving around a german race track while having a fantastically interesting discussion. In an italian car. Boris --> I love you! Thanks for the vid, stay safe.

Sounds like the beginning of a joke...

And Serbian watching the video in America!

[@Bomblebee666]

and a jealous Chinese guy watching this video in bed lol

[@oldmanjenkins38]

May never make it to the Nürburgring but your videos are almost like being there Misha! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@idrivearttabletennis]

I love seeing the GP track as part of the videos. Also good explanation about wear and tear on the GP. Your Pista is VERY nice! Great video. Thanks!

[@r1freak1]

I absolutely appreciate how Robert uses his cars to their full potential (within his abilities)

[@Factoryrat77]

Awesome that when Robert buys a car, he actually uses it. Unlike many people that would leave them garaged with a trickle charger on them.

[@HenkFueltank]

that makes Robert's cars a bit our cars too

[@AB-80X]

That's the difference between Europe and the US. Here we drive our exotics.

[@talentekhuzwayo2705]

Wat do trickle chargers do? This super car is not a hybrid is it

[@MrE30]

Good afternoon Misha and Robert, nicely spec’d Pista it drives well

[@Jason-zz9xx]

Wow, great and smooth driving Robert! 👍

[@CAR_NL]

I have never seen a car video were you can "feel" so much of the power of the car. The way it accelerates from higher speeds (4/5/6th gear) is just insane. It's almost like it has no drag at all. An Italian masterpiece. Makes my 4C feels slow.

[@Labbedds]

488 sounds incredible, the sound is back!!!!!

[@hrishikmitra7881]

The shifts of the pista sound P E R F E C T

[@davoupnya3202]

What a beautiful handling car (sorry for the understatement of word "car", but you know what I mean) ! Thank you to Robert stepping up the ride, and thank you to Misha as always for sharing a even more epic ride with us ! Can't wait for the next ride !? My love to Apex !!!

[@Naefukabootio]

Yay! I loved you and Robert sharing your lap on the Ring with the VLN setup. Gimbal fails and licence plates flying about, as it should be, doing laps in such a great car!

[@benkohnen9918]

Alsome video and thank you for sharing your lap with us Robert

[@Zvertnie]

Thanks for sharing the excitement. Also impressive is you saying Nordschleife Touristenfahrten with a straight face...you guys are pros!

[@pietskiet8763]

Awesome drive and chat thanks !

[@zebarias]

Thank you Robert and Misha for taking us along on this lap with the Pista.

[@DBStarr7]

Thank you, Misha! Great vid, as always. That gimble is the bomb!

[@paulfairchild8942]

I really like these driving videos, superfast cars driven with speed but care. Excellent. More please.

[@trdartz]

You guys are great ambassadors of safe and fun driving. One day I really have to visit you guys! Keep up the awesome videos

[@baloobagheera5482]

Nice and pleasant video to watch. Well done. I can't wait to get my Pista! Misha, I will definitely get in touch!

[@mariof.5936]

Robert is the man..! Never afraid to enjoy all his car on the ring 👍👍 #dreamlife

[@davidcupra4913]

Great video misha. Nice to see them coming again.

[@eeehmmwhat2406]

The Handling, acceleration and everything looks so smooth. Awesome driver and awesome car

[@KeriBeal]

Great video, amazing car, thanks both for sharing the experience

[@allensaunders449]

The pista a real track oriented ferrari that's still road legal

[@evo5349]

Great fun lap with extra track superb and great car Thanks

[@aslambuckus7809]

Fantastic video very impressive driver and that pista sure packs a punch, it pulls so strongly , tons of torque matched with perfect gear ratios 👍

[@tinoschneider6350]

A lot of positive vibes in this video. Really enjoyed that!

[@justine3471]

Thank you for the drive along!

[@gafrers]

Awesome. Great to see a car used as it should. Only on this channel. Thanks Misha and Robert.

[@EG3HC]

What a beast the Pista is! And great driving.

[@DasArab]

Smoothness personified. Great lap.

[@z4k1_zaki65]

BMW owners using indicators?😱 only in a track😂

[@Datoda]

Even though the indicators have a really nice sound when you put them on...

[@PaganiZondaF650hp]

But you could save 5kg removing them completely

[@fordgt1967]

While coming out from the park everyone is looking at the car. Priceless. 🤩🤩

[@M3rVsT4H]

Wow, the track is looking great. And how slick is that Ferrari. Great vid, thanks.

[@eddohan]

0:48 Its awsome....look at the sticker on the green M3 behind Robert. That is some awsome coincidence.

[@lemmysverruca]

Awesome find!

[@DwainDwight]

Misha - greetings from Hong Kong - by far the best NN track video I have seen. The Pista is a real track weapon. When I have a spare €300k ... keep it up. DW

[@golgoth7600]

Excellent driving. Smooth as butter.

[@MultiMb77]

Great video! the pista is insane!

[@hoofixrman]

Cool vid guys...enjoyed the ride!

[@gt4viking789]

Lovely clean line Sir 👍🏼

[@NFSFan0011]

Very beautiful car :) and such skillful driving :D

[@stefandominitzki]

The best Video i've seen so far to learn the Track

[@goodmann4503]

What a good drive! Amazing

[@elwingy]

Very nice sweet and smooth driving. Not going flat out but fast enough to enjoy the hell out of the track and the car. Very nice

[@Miguelito0oO]

The Pista is a pulling machine, non stop pulling, impressive!

[@Vangent87]

It’s amazing what intimate knowledge of a track can do for speed. Obviously robert is in a 488 Pista which is ridiculously fast but if you notice he’s fast in every car he drives. He’s not over doing it or really even pushing the car that hard. They’re talking and having a conversation and still overtaking every car he sees on the horizon. Knowing the track and where the grip is and where to brake and how to be smooth makes a huge difference.

[@fordgtforum]

You guys make some kick ass videos. Robert is a real bad ass behind the wheel. So relaxed.

[@MundoMad]

Great drive! The car is a beast!

[@SamAustin]

Turbo is still just as fun :-) Great vid as always !

[@Frankestein01nl]

Love yer car, Robert, many fast and safe miles man!

[@loydens]

Lovely video👌, i hope i can go there this summer and test the new surface😁👍

[@francischow9035]

Very good racing lines, nice easy fast lap.

[@drewdalesandro672]

Robert is killing it in the Pista! I am impressed!

[@tbillington]

Such a good spec. And huge props to Robert for driving the piss out of all his cars and not sticking them in a museum.

[@Vangent87]

Thanks for the video. I’d love a video with Robert in maybe a summit type format with you two talking more in depth about the Pista and how it performs compared to the 458 Speciale like braking, turn in, speed that kind of stuff. They’re both top of the line track oriented cars from Ferrari and with the Pista being the evolution of that I think a lot of people would find it interesting. Maybe talk about parts of the track where they’re similar and parts of the track where the Pista blows the speciale out of the water.

[@lisrael61]

I use to work at a Ferrari dealership in Dulles Virginia they are some of my favorite cars bar none.

[@randomsurfer3963]

We finally get to see the Pista on the track,that's just what I've been waiting for. Thanks a lot. I imagine the 488 Pista is a rather different experience from the 458 Speciale, less sound but much more torque. They are both great in their own respect, I wouldn't say one is better than the other. Looking forward to the inevitable comparison with the 720S once Robert has fully got to grips with the car after more laps and road use.

[@russellcoight1718]

Mikhail Sven well the 720s still has a better power to weight than the pista, and lots of crazy aero.. so it's a pretty damn fair comparison if you ask me.

[@scoobydoo5164]

The right tyre choice make all the difference for lap times

[@javoresku]

Nice to see everybody behaving on track.

[@Grey_Ghost_GX]

Awesome video!

[@shanescarlife]

the level of trust you must have in Robert's driving must be very high. Good on Robert for being such a capable driver

[@AutomotiveMike]

The color scheme is on point!

[@Barely1931]

God Bless Robert lol. Misha the vids are awesome as well but it is so nice to see someone using these cars like they are supposed to and not having them sit in the garage like dust collectors. Enjoying all the content. Stay safe!

[@Goshi89]

Really impressive video, car and driving

[@andresperez-br8pq]

that's a proper video nice car, nice driver a good talk. what else can you ask for

[@iwolfdk]

HOLY FÅÅÅK , that pista very fast 😱😱😱🙏🏼 Pedal to the metal 🥇🚗 Thanks Camrad Robert and Misha

[@tigergt1435]

Beautiful vlog , nice that can drive full Gp track 😍🏎🏎😎😎😎😎

[@gaborkondor3527]

It is always a pleasure to see Robert drive.

[@stevenosmanski6083]

That Gimbal is a really good perspective on the track banking and flow. I'd love to see that fixed mounted for a whole lap to really see how much the car moves.

[@TheMrbernddasbrot]

Those stripes really look good on the car!

[@nickbroersen6714]

De pista is zo'n gruwelijk mooie bak 😍

[@guusberkhof8429]

Nick Broersen eens!

[@koeskss]

what a nice way to spend a day :)

[@4n6design]

That PIsta is a masterpiece!

[@dimitri_43]

Ohhh Here I have been waiting for this

[@JamesYoung61]

I will be interested to hear how it stacks up vs the 720 Mclaren after a year of taxi laps, it certainly looks fast in Roberts hands but so did the 720. Great video Misha.

[@antoniodias8088]

This Robert guy is so down to earth. Actually using a 488. Good man

[@PhatPharmacist]

I like the updates to the track

[@charleshiort7153]

Some very quick and measured driving from Robert,as usual!

[@pasha12343]

That’s a quick beastie , like it a lot 🙂🙂🙂

[@nevenblaskovic7627]

I love porsche and they are great car for nurburgring. But this ferrari pista is so nice and fast car.Just wow great video👍

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

really enjoyed this vid:-) the lt sounds better to me' keep up the good work misha cheers steve:-)

[@CarToneHK]

The Pista is eye openingly fast, makes other cars seems like standing still

[@salj2225]

Great driving 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@judeobi242]

Best looking Ferrari till this Day 👊🏼

[@Carbonarars]

nice to seee, that people behave so good on track, better than on public road sometimes :-)))))

[@Simple_mechanic_guy]

Hello Misha, Hello Carmrades, Hello Robert :) Well, what a nice lap. And yes, it's refreshing to see such good behaviors : no stress at all to drive a Pista with all kinds of cars.

[@jimcole5359]

Brilliant ride-along with Robert in the Pista. If I ever make it there I want either you or Robert to give me a ride around the track :)

[@luissantuzzi5891]

Great great car!!

[@canudeiro]

Fantastic car !

[@Clint_Moto34]

Eventho its nice to see them having fun i am still courious on the BTG of the Pista😅
