His FIRST SCARY Track Experience! VW Golf R // Nürburgring

[@HPTuners]

Thanks for a fun, and totally not terrifying ride around the Nürburgring!

[@huhkgerry]

*totally not*

😂😂👍

[@BillyBongo-yc3iv]

What tyres are you using ?

[@Anisjohir]

Hi everyone, I'm Anis, marketing coordinator for HP Tuners Europe (Guy in the front of the car) First of all I wanted to say a massive thank you to Misha for taking us around, this was absolutely an opportunity I wasn't expecting to get. I can't imagine a better first track experience than this! 💙 HP Tuners provide hardware and software to calibrate your vehicles ECU, we actually do not tune cars ourselves. We are a calibration solution for many vehicles, and this Golf R is a demo car used to demonstrate our product. Over the last 4 years it's simply spent its life sat at shows, and doing software demos, this was the first time ever that it was put through its paces. We actually went on a road trip with Motor Addicts across Europe, and the Nurburgring was just one stop along the way. It's definitely not a track car by any means. After bringing the car back to base and checking it over, it turns out there was in fact a boost leak, and it's now being sorted 🙏 so I hope we'll be able to get back out there soon with the car in full attack mode. Keep an eye out for the next video, when Misha, Owen and Nick go out in the Transit Connect, and overtake cars a van has no business overtaking 🤣

[@bastee2727]

Cool company, cool product. Had a Lund HP tuned 2011 Mustang and loved it.

[@SoundBoy808]

haha Anis, its an experience isnt it! Robbie (Steeda). My hand was crippled from holding on afterwards.....

[@RiddleTime]

Nice to see the lad in the back starting to become a camera-man halfway during the lap, looked like fun!

[@MotorAddicts]

So uncomfortable in the back of a car around the ring

[@Jakub00x]

Now we can see what a crap video can shot people holding phone in front of their face insted of enyoing lap 😅 thx for that! 😂

[@HonorguyXNL]

The footage from the backseat is actually quite fascinating and fun to watch

[@Rydex]

Karussell best moment haha

[@lucasb6207]

Had to watch it twice ^^

[@TossenBC]

The camera angle from the bloke in the back really gives the perspective of how fast you were going.

I was s&@ting myself and the camera hit me in back of my head

I think this guy in the back is totally fine, since he is not only a passenger but also a cameraman, regisseur and an actor all at once. And he’s bloody good at his jobs 😂

I actually was really uncomfortable in the back, no bucket seat basically a bench

The decision of the dude in the back filming his face: priceless! :D But the car seems to be handling well if you could catch the slides rather effortlessly. Especially the Adenauer Forst slide.

Sounds like a boostleak or the besring of the turbo?

So much fun watching dudes having fun!

[@MotorAddicts]

Was ok for the people in the front

[@FastTeam11]

500hp, huh? UK tune strikes again...

[@jackse82]

Sounds like it has a boost leak to be honest. Alot of places in the UK, or decent places are actually pretty harsh on the figures, but there are alot of dreamers haha! But yeah sounds like theres some sort of boost leak, could be where its missing the power potentially.

[@briocheman21]

probably a boost leak

[@jimbrown5605]

Sounds like leaky DV

[@VdubK]

I agree, I have the same car, well, the MK7 before, I'm running just over 500 and mine is certainly quicker than this one

[@DistractedTrader]

Tbh three people - I’d say an extra 280 kg can have an effect. Three people in my mk7 feels heavy, and it’s already a 1.6 ton car.

[@FerrazMario]

Haircut looking fresh and nice driving as usual! Keep it up, Misha!

[@user-mi8ie2kq4e]

500hp? seems like 350. What is the whistling? Turbo leak?

[@gimmegaming5345]

I was thinking the same thing. I've a 350hp golf 7 r that seems to accelerate faster than that one. That noise sounds like a large boost leak.

[@user-mi8ie2kq4e]

@@gimmegaming5345 yep

[@yaqeenlangeveldt]

Idk I'm not the smartest but it raining on the track and it is quite dangerous to really push the car to its limits when they were already spinning out

[@user-mi8ie2kq4e]

@@yaqeenlangeveldt Misha said himself on the video that the car doesnt seem like 500 horsepower

[@jethrox827]

English HP is different, you calculate it by multiplying BS with crank speed, street tune on a pretend graph, what someone's mate said on tik tok and that equals 500 HP 👍

predictably -- reliably -- expert operation of the vehicle by the best driver these lucky guys will probably ever be driven by ... of course, Misha knowing just when to push the envelope to flip the fear/adrenaline switch in his passengers for maximum enjoyment ... I swear- the front seat passenger could be a distant UK relative of Tavarish

[@youtubejunkie8053]

Misha has the reaction time of a damn cat! Next level, one of my bucket list is to fly to Germany from California and drive on this track! Meeting Misha would be a bonus!

[@julienfrench2963]

Make me happy to see guy in the back, so much more human ;) Thx NURB to allow that to Misha ;)

[@MileRunningCrocodile]

what a legend.. i couldnt stop laughing at his facial expressions second half of the lap xD

And if 150 horsepower went missing, they weren't really needed, anyway. These laps with lots of banter are a good mixup to the serious driving videos. Would be interesting what the Transit/Tourneo could do.

[@NY20N]

The boost leak my thoughts are the forge diverter valve has the wrong spring in for the power I’d put money on it. Nice car nice people. That’s all that matters.

[@AI-Records24]

That high pitch whistle hurt my ears probably boost leak as was on throttle

[@gregsiakayastone]

at least it sounds like a train leaving the station any time it accelerates

[@themarvel2004]

High pitched squeal - was there a boost-leak or a brake squealing??

[@yzx]

Can someone explain the whole lap pass lending/ person in the back/ illigal taxi lap issue to me?

[@MrTchou]

Some people accused Misha of doing illegal taxi lap (you need to be registered as an official taxi for that like Apex was a few years back). Last year he used his own yearly lap ticket to do the driving, and you could have your friend on the backseat. So for this year to make sure there are no ambiguity, you pay for the lap, and are not allowed a passenger other than the car owner. I don’t really know if it changes a lot of things but that’s what has been agreed between Misha and the Nurburgring.

[@wojciechpiwonski1837]

You know it's a full throttle when you hear a whistle sound 😅

[@Patrick_Flv]

What is that sound when he accelerate?

[@nitoaguiar9491]

Sounds like a boost leak

[@lukasadamson6091]

Did you ever use all power? I feel like acceleration for 500+ hp was a bit underwhelming

[@CM-tc6pp]

Am I hearing a vacuum or boost leak or is that whistle normal?

[@tbas8741]

Its great but that Crackle & Popping Tune - REALLY?? I mean my car does it on some downshifts but that is purely thanks to the custom exhaust design and me using trailing throttle so it keeps adding fuel when down shifting then ignites in headers/turbo/exhaust. (99 WRX Wagon)

[@cristicristiii]

The engine has a cool noise when full throttle ❤️

[@kamiloo]

UK tunes still a meme

[@briocheman21]

probably had a boost leak

[@Elledollar]

@@briocheman21maybe , maybe not, but 09 out of 10 UK tuners on Mischa s channel have claimed crazy amount of HP and not delivering. UK tuners really turning into a meme

[@GolfRJ]

@youtuber-cc8sx That's the intake, my R does it.

[@BrodeyDoverosx]

@@ElledollarUK tuners usually work off of calculated BHP/flywheel HP. And yes, they regularly overstate power and use tuning file services; most don’t do any actual tuning work.
