How to Nürburgring Touristenfahrten 2021: Rules, Tips & FAQ

[@fabianb6970]

Rule number one, don’t confuse 3rd for 5th

[@paullomas4620]

2nd with 4th

[@sighfly2928]

Forward with reverse

[@MegaPeter96]

Americans and Manuals...

[@ShatNdd]

At first try not to confuse Nurnberg and Nurberg!

[@lollypop9580]

@@ShatNdd Nurberg, are you sure ?

[@80wolfmanrob]

Misha the tour guide tells you everything but forgets to tell you when he drove right past Apex.

[@andypullin4702]

Note on the insurance, here in the UK some insurers specifically exclude the Nordschlife, check your policy documents! (I noticed this first on my wife's old Citroen Picasso, all 1.6 litres 8V and 90hp of it, not exactly a racecar :-) )

[@MT-eb2dx]

Same in Germany, most specifically exclude Touristenfahrten , you can even search the pdfs they provide with the policy's! Very handy.

[@maggiepie8810]

​@@MT-eb2dx Same in Sweden.

[@jhill92]

Not to complain about your off season content, Misha, but this is the stuff your subscribers signed up for. Great video. I think your channel cultivates a feel and appreciation for the laid back attitude of the real car enthusiasts community. If it were for appreciating and respecting each other, not trying too hard and having fun with the right mindset, there would be drastically less accidents.

[@ScottPC]

It’s always worth checking your car insurance as well. My policy has a specific paragraph in it that I’m not covered at the Nurburgring even though it’s considered a public road.

[@Paynos]

probably because they had one or two phone calls along the lines of, "oh yeah I crashed into a Ferrari at 130mph, but i'm covered right? :)" hahaha

[@HCChen86]

i am insured with DEVK in germany but seems like the also not covered with TF...... makes me so confused....

[@ScottPC]

@@Paynos literally haha. I don’t blame them

[@autoroom21]

Does this surprise you😂

[@davidsmall7676]

Misha, I hope to someday use all of your helpful tips to drive the Nurburgring. With you in car would be even better. Thanks for showing us the ropes

[@lucho5122]

Thanks for doing this kind of video. I really like the fact that you think about the people who are not Nürburgring expert, I'm sure it will help a lot of people to enjoy their first Nürburgring laps.

[@freddieneve2311]

can't wait to meet you all soon! this is so much fun! jealous!

[@thomasbryce1716]

same here 😉

[@freddieneve2311]

@@thomasbryce1716 gotta find a way to live there a few months a year.. and every day on the track too! (ok, I can make any own pancakes but ill import the hooch. Care to join us?)

[@fernandocarbonera1764]

Very well explained! I hope I'll visit this epic track someday. Cheers from Brazil!

[@ijunkie10]

This video is so good. I'm convincing more and more friends to come to the Nürburgring and your latest videos are perfect to show them first impressions and give them the right mood for this.

[@thiagohiromi1849]

Being a new follower to the channel, that was the video I was looking for. Thanks.

[@ChrisPlow]

I quite like the brake pad squeal helps me learn the braking points 😂🏎💨 as ever Misha great content 👍

[@MaartenvanHeek]

Thanks for the tips (also those on some of your 'first time driving' videos! I was there last weekend and it all went smoothly thanks to a good preparation.

[@shukriaidil7505]

I wish I can drive on Nürburgring someday. After the pandemic ends. Thanks for this guide Misha.

[@SimoBenziane]

Did you get to do it?

[@plepper]

8:30 you cant have a wing 9:20 e46 with a huge wing casually passing by

[@oliese]

thats just about big enough till its not Huge xdd

[@superbecx]

That s just nano rearenged rust 🤣

[@ijunkie10]

My Mini has got fresh TÜV. The new set of tires are standing next to him. I'll be there this weekend or next.

[@andrewdavis2325]

I never knew that there was two different speeds you had to do between an illuminated yellow and a waving flag yellow. Thank you for the information, top-notch as always.

[@rodneyyy95]

Thanks for the tips Misha! Will actually be helpful when my car is finished, just heard that my dampers are still in backorder at Bilstein. Ordered other ones today and hope they will arrive asap so I can finish the car.

[@alexo11111]

Misha, about the pad noise. I used to have track pads that were too noisy and I was feed up with the sound. I bought some titanium brake pad shims (are supposed to help with heat barrier for boiling brake fluid) but a side advantage of the brake pad shim is that it acts as a damper o brake pad vibration AKA that annoying sound of brake pads. I would suggest to give it a try, for me it helped a lot.

[@thomasbryce1716]

great tip! 👍🙂👍

[@tonyw2960]

SuperBike pads have them for same reason

[@NerdburgChannel]

Thank you for 3:10 It's only aimed at a few but they can affect the fun of the many!

[@Jump_Ace]

Awesome stuff, thanks so much for the info in this. I've watched it twice and I'll watch it once more before I visit Germany.

[@timwilliams2343]

Thanks for this, it's incredibly important to discuss safety and etiquette at the track.

[@MT-eb2dx]

Long time viewer here, and I learned something. Well done!!

[@1hockeynight]

Can‘t wait until Devils Dines reopens again, it is just nice sitting there a watch all the cars coming off the track ......

[@spekyspectacles105]

Great video Misha .!! I’m really excited and feeling a lot more confident to visit this month. I have learned alot on etiquette and behaviour on the track. The horror videos on KZbin with aggressive driving and bad behaviour don’t reflect at all from what I can see 😎😎

[@focusgreg4136]

Excellent introduction of the track rules and how to be safe 😎👌🏾

[@hamzasherazi9334]

My kind of how-to video. Looking forward to seeing you on the track some day.

[@Hatchbacksnerd]

I just was about to call you guys at the apex today and ask some Q and you just uppload this video !

[@Horneycorn]

Great video Misha!

[@olaftyc6804]

Great intro to the Touristen Fahrten @Nürburgring! Thx

[@phyll24]

6:40 I made this mistake 1 year ago on TT Assen. Was sooo exited that I send it on the first lap, broke my engine 1 lap later. Still can't get over that

[@giec3484]

You gotta love how Misha has to fight his racing instincts all the time to show the proper way or safe-driving around the ring 😂

[@lotvs_eater]

Офигенный гайд по Нордшляйфе! Жду не дождусь открытия границ (и кучи деняк для поездки)

[@jacksonzhong9298]

lol the brake pad sound kind of make your braking points more clear to us

[@boostedandbolted6890]

Thought the same in his first video 😅

[@michaelluttmer2486]

This was super informative for our planning to visit the Ring in a few years!

[@1justgo]

Very helpful video. Hope to get there in Sept and this is really useful info. I was last on track there in 1992 !

[@impressivemotorsports]

ABSOLUTELY informative.. thank you man. Doing my homework to come there just to get on the track.

[@nikkoboyblue1]

Awsome video going for the first time this year, Very helpful 👍

[@scalecrawlnl]

2021, the Year of The Yaris on the calender. Quick, nimble, occasional tantrum, big fun :)

[@Clarkyclarke1]

Great vid as always Misha.👌🏻🤟🏻

[@maggiepie8810]

The fact that Turistenfahren exists probably contributes to less reckless driving on German roads.

[@turbofanlover]

Holy squeaky brakes, Batman!!! Other than that...very good vid, Misha.

[@marioribeiro886]

You forgot the emergency areas, the orange zones

[@Nordmore68]

What's not to like? Very nice and informative.

[@stevenmoir9421]

Can't wait till I can leave Scotland and come over

Hello Misha ,nice video ,Paul from Greece, I want one day to come there and drive ...good job

[@alexanderbaylis716]

Great Video Misha. Thank you.

[@CarlMCL]

That would be pretty funny to watch a guy trying to get his bus through the TF gate

[@MT-eb2dx]

I've seen it on KZbin somewhere. Somebody actually offered bus rides on the Nordschleife at some point!

[@Mpower-hz4gk]

4'45...have your TF card ready to show it !

[@iamahmedmunir]

Good video I really enjoyed it like all of your videos 😄❤️

[@JohSno]

Yeah, for me spending some time in that car park at the track entrance, meeting and chatting to like minded people was one of the highlights from the visit to Nürburgring. Oh, and going to near by village to get a sweinesnitzel for dinner :) P.S. back in 2016...

[@kaxbyrita9279]

Thanks for this, good info! How much has changed for 2022? I’m just wondering about the ticket thing: so you can’t buy a paper ticket / ticket at the counter at all? You have to use your phone? But if you have an Apple iPhone it will not workbut rather you have to print it? And i’m guessing you have no local print out options? So basically you have to buy the ticket way in advance, like at your hotel if you can print it there? Sounds really cumbersome and troublesome…

[@loonytoon8836]

Now in 2022 all ticket sales places are open. If you just want to go there once, go and get your ticket at ED gas station at Döttinger Höhe or the ticket shop at the car park roundabout.

[@martinchapman2168]

Good video

[@MacheteK]

Good comment

[@thomasbryce1716]

Good on ya🙂

[@spring6meow]

So ready ❤🎉 thanks for thr video

[@MsRizijs]

Many thanks for the video, really nice educating, hopefully one day I'll try real life nurburgring instead on assetto corsa.

[@randomsurfer3963]

You ll have to organise a formation lap with as many GR Yaris as you can gather up, there are so many around!

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

brilliant vid misha 1 day i will be there👍😀

[@gjermundhigraff7789]

Maybe you should keep the brake pads. This way, the people at Devil's Diner will know when you're at Brünnchen and get your pancakes ready by the time you get off of the track. When they're eventually open again, of course.

[@prox3h]

Genius!

[@tooclaws]

Great Advice and should be taken seriously, by everyone. :)

[@PetrolShakyor]

Hello. I have a question - as a guest on track day, is there any possibility to get a ticket with my personal time? I am not about to race or go fast, it rather would be a nice souvenir for me from this day

[@MrRight86]

Thanks for this valuable information 👍

[@PropDeskJunkie]

Two thumbs-up! Why that helmet rule is not followed at all tracks is beyond me. US HPDEs all require a helmet, but not a Hans. Makes little sense.

[@kenj1424]

Great informative video!

[@moonquake1881]

Would like to see more information on insurances, especially possibilities to reduce the excess on rental cars.

[@luijazzpiano]

".. no big busses.." erm... are you thinking what I'm thinking? XD police car, tourist bus... ring a bell? Btw, after a lap (say when the parking lot is opened again) would it be advisable to go drive around for a few minutes before parking the car straight away, in order to cool down the brakes better? Last time I went to Hockenheimring TF, afterward my brakes become "uneven" or sth like that, since then it vibrates a little bit almost everytime I brake. Would driving around after a lap prevent this problem? (ofc except the obvious solution, upgrade better brake disc)

[@rafaelpineda7903]

Who noticed that the silver car that goes past him right after the speed limit area is the same that was totally flat out in front of Liam Lawson’s and Alex Albon’s lap on the ring hahahaah ?

[@flriprsh2206]

10:08 hmm.. 50/50 I know some guys which would not stay with us if they would not have worn a helmet. For example hitting the window e.g. Maybe just some heavy metal headbang moves before TF to improve muscles.😌

[@Takataz]

Always remember: theres no winners in touristenfahren, only losers. Don’t be a hero.

[@frankengels5275]

Very informative, thanks!

[@All_Dead_In_Shimoda]

Great info Misha 👍 How about licencing for those of us coming from other continents, do we just show our country's licence or do we need a international licence to hire and drive a car ?

[@pedroramos4718]

Can't wait to be back 😭

[@daveyclarke]

Cool to know the rules and tips! Thanks misha. Will you do a video about the track days? Do you do them often these days? Would be good for a ride along

[@SirMangoMantango]

"You have to remove your wing", meanwhile next car that overtakes him has a massive modded rearwing.

[@EDoLLarOn]

its a dream of mine to make a couple of laps, I think next year i´ll finally can do some

[@CRD90]

Thanks for this Misha, really good tutorial. Would you say it's best to go early morning on the weekend or are weekday evenings okay? I've got plenty of trackday experience, but intend to drive around slowly as this track seems very narrow. Do you think it's safe enough to do so when there are more cars on the circuit?

[@MT-eb2dx]

Hey Misha , can you try to record a lap from the backseat with a longer lens sometime? Like the old Yellowbird record lap, It really shows how extrem the undulations are! (No image stabilization, cam fixed to the car)

[@baconbreadwithbacon]

I ask this of everyone who uses the track because I've been in an accident on the track. Please be patient. If a driver can't move to the right because he's already on the left as you approach him through a corner, stay five metes back unless you are extremely experienced. Speed can drop very quickly through a corner. An inexperienced driver clipped my BMW and sent me spinning. I hit the barrier so hard, I bounced off and flipped sideways before sliding into the opposite barrier. Be patient, be aware of your speed and most importantly, don't push if you don't have experience. I was fine as my car was caged and I had a harness with helmet. I should clarify, this happened a few years back.

[@giorgiokuhn1164]

Hallo Misha nice lap nice vlog

[@suitmotorsport_NL]

When is the compilation video coming of all the ‘goooodmorning comrades’ ? 😎😁

[@mastex5575]

Misha who was in the trunk knocking when you turned? *jk I can pick up some sort knocking when you where driving any corner off track.

[@davidmartel7562]

In a next video, can you tell us which/who owns the Nurb, the benefits per year, and where is this money going ? yes i could make some researches but you're at the right place and you probably have some infos i wouldn't find. Thanks in advance mate

[@nimmen]

What are your suggestions to wearing a helmet in a non-caged but older car without airbags?

[@Emil_Bucholc]

Cool video 👍🏻

[@fgrgtr]

Nice informations thx a lot. Could you tell us if we can charge a car (Porsche Taycan), near the entry point ?

[@AR-qr9eo]

Great vids

[@sbong1203]

9:24 that is not a massive wing?

[@lambrosstamos4494]

I will be very specific with my question. Is the Simpson Hybrid S Hans system (the one that can also be used with regular seat belts) allowed? Can my passenger have a bucket seat with "ears"? I know I am repeating myself, but, please, humour me. Very informative, thank you.

[@mrwick7961]

you say you cant have a massive wing or exhaust but what about evos and subarus etc and ive seen loads of beemers with fast and furious style wings on the track (one past you in the video lol) and also loads of cars with loud exhausts etc go on there!! at what point do these rules come in? like what is too big a wang and wats to loud a poop shoot?

[@sooofancier]

I will watch it. I need that info

[@guypascua8848]

Pancakes! Cannot forget Pancakes! Question is "What is Misha's favorite, plain, banana, blueberry, or something else?" Also syrup is the key. Maple, Coconut, or another flavor?

[@micinum]

How much it costs to have you or other professional driver to guide you through the lap and is there a website or a place where you can schedjule such service?

[@jamesthompson6669]

I learned a lot, and found it interesting that you don't wear a helmet during TF due to HANS restriction. Question - what about instructor laps during TF? Will you wear a helmet then if the driver's car has airbags? Tnx
