Very informative video! Keep it up guys! But in the video you announced that you would put the emergency number in the description. But I couldn't see it on my mobile phone. So, if you don't mind here it is: 0800 0302 112. Remember, the exact information is important for the fastest response, what happenend, where on the track, with how many, are people injured.

[@johnb9416]

Hope you don't mind me adding that if you're from the UK the number would be 004980000302112

[@mgcharoudin]

John B or [phone]

[@TheFranpire]

John B no offcourse not, The more information there is, the better! :)

[@johanboes1]

Thanks Robert and Micha. Looking forward to the season ! Enjoying all your videos.

[@Bredaxe]

This trip will be on my bucket list. After a life changing permanent illness, I have to make the Ring a priority. I'm going to visit a few track days here in Florida then start organizing my trip, Hopefully 2019.

[@AndreaFaso]

Awesome video, very informative for everyone like me that is planning to come to the Nurburgring this year. Hope to meet you guys soon this year!

[@JarrenW83]

Very informative video! I hope to plan a trip there one day with Apex.

[@lukaseitner3861]

very informative, thanks for that! if the outdoor karting track happens for real I genuinely hope they make it resemble the gp track just scaled really small..

[@mrlilmatt123]

This was so helpful, thank you Misha(& Robert)! Will be seeing you guys soon :D

[@PT82]

My first trip coming up in May. Your videos have been very helpful. Watched your spectator viewpoint video again the other day 🙂

[@TheGamer-ux2lr]

Thanks for the travel tips boys! I think hanging at Club Apex and talking cars would be a fun and informative time during track closures.

[@spankydoodledo]

I just wanted to thank you and Robert for the videos that you are making and for the information.

[@Gigges85]

Thank you for videos like this (and also all other videos you're making). It's allways nice to get some infos from real "insiders". I've bought a "ringtool" myself some weeks ago and been at the track twice since. There are some points you mentioned (more detailed on some of your other videos) which I noticed msyelf some times now some drivers there just don't take serious. I think the most important thing is to check your car well in advance. Really every time I've been to TF (as driver, co-driver or just spectator) I've seen some real crap-cars, which sometimes I'm not sure if these are even roadworthy/legal, driving the Ring at TF. And most times when things like oil-/coolantleaks, lost parts, flat tires etc. happend, these where caused by these crappy cars. I'm a car-technician myself, doing this for a living for over 15 years now, and I think I learned pretty well to judge if a car just looks crappy on the outside (which isn't a problem, if the car is technically well) or really is crappy (and those sometimes even don't look that bad at first glance). As you said, if you're unsure if your car can handle it or you just can't afford your car to be well maintened/prepared etc. go out and rent a car, which is up to the task - or at least get your car checked by a professional in advance if you're unsure and lack the knowledge. I think this alone would make the TF a lot saver and I even think the officials should check out some cars in advance before letting them drive the track. Sometimes you just can tell, that a car isn't up to the task and will cause an incident...

[@kristijanlozar1025]

Thanks Misha for this video! We are just planing to visit apex this summer so thanks for this pointers. Except we are coming with two YUGOS and a few other cars. Hope to see you there:)!

[@mgcharoudin]

please contact me in advance!!!

[@alastairlatchford]

Loads of helpful information that has helped with my plans for visiting this year, Thanks :)

[@Lawdachris]

The road tours are a brilliant idea during a closure, definitely run with that. The local roads are immense and could even be an option for people who have rented a car but still want to drive their own car on some awesome roads.

[@JonAlycia]

Thank you! Very helpful. I just moved to the UK from Canada and i’m planning to come drive the track sometime in the spring or summer. Couldn’t be more excited. I’m planning to do a couple slow laps in my Estate then rent a car for some fast laps!

[@martinchapman2168]

I am going to the Nuburgring this summer and i am going to rent a car for you. Thanks for the shoutout.

[@mgcharoudin]

Martin Chapman make sure to let us know it's you!

[@martinchapman2168]

Misha Charoudin OK

[@dogeislove.dogeislife.811]

Great video, lots of important information. I remember when I came to green hell weekend in 2016, the track was being closed every 20minutes to accidents. It was crazy.

[@jeff605]

Got 2 weeks holidays at the Ring booked this summer and this video was very informative for me, thanks for sharing all the tips guys! And deffinitely gonna go by Apex to check out the barn and everything :)

[@kawoutster]

I’m in bed with the flu, feeling like shit... but watching you guys and listening to the calm voice of Robert, makes me feel a bit better! Love you guys!!😘😉

[@mgcharoudin]

Wouter van Foeken get well soon!

[@kawoutster]

Misha Charoudin thanks!!! I won’t let you down! 😉

[@timothywachowicz8308]

Gratitude & appreciation Misha & Robert for covering all the necessary information in preparing a trip to the Nurburgring! Awesomely Good! Love the good vibe You bring to educating people planning to come & how to get the most out of the experience! This will make it much easier planning a trip for sure. All the links also thank You! Still planning on September. This will make it so much easier. Great stuff! Have a great day! Good vibe to You & the community :)

[@alexdalton8722]

Great video Misha! Some fantastic and solid advice and information in there for newcomers and some healthy reminders for those of us more used to the nordschleife!

[@alexdalton8722]

Also for anyone else from the UK looking to visit for the first time, please take what Robert said on board and make sure you have insurance, also make sure you have European breakdown cover. www.insuremytrackday.com are able to provide instant quotations for you based on dates, previous experience with Trackdays and performance driving, and your vehicle details. As the Nordschleife continues to grow in popularity pulling visitors from all over Europe and beyond, it’s just not worth the risk going uninsured.

[@Jeffrey7]

Great and informative video I really need to make it happen in 2018 it's a shame i've never been to the Nürburgring yet hope to meet you this year!

[@NurburgringBikerBlog]

I'm glad you got the UK Insurance situation absolutely spot on! Most UK people don't have a clue! Well done Robert and Misha, good video...👍

[@mgcharoudin]

Nurburgring Biker Blog Thank you Billy!

[@TheProrider17]

Thanks for the advice! Will come back to this video when I decide to come to the track!

[@Simple_mechanic_guy]

Very, very, very useful. Common sens and good advices!

[@Grenyas]

If I ever get around to visiting Nürburgring, the Porsche Museum will definitely be one of my places to see in Germany 😍

[@Ginkoman2]

If you should be in Stuttgart already for the Porsche Museum, you should check out the Mercedes Museum too :) but be carefull, the mercedes Museum could take you up to one day. Its quiet big. So if you want to see the porsche and mercedes Museum, you should probably stay 2 days in Stuttgart. And if you are really lucky you can book a factory tour in the factorys of Porsche and Mercedes that are nearby. Additionally Stuttgart has a very good Opera thingy stuff. And there are some cool Castles (in Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg) around if you like stuff like that :) And If you want to go to munich for BMW after that, you should stop in Neckarsulm for Audi Sport where you can also get a factory tour with luck or connections ;)

[@davekojo87]

Glad you talked about flying. I was going to ask how to get there from Australia. I'll make it over one day. Keep up the good work.

[@harrylalli]

Great video, look forward to your website launching soon (i hope?)...would love to come visit this year

[@Marcmessi218]

Hi Misha, i heard that you spoke at IVA in Holland. Thats very cool of you, cant wait untill you make a video of that 😊

[@parky2310]

Great video Misha and Robert - so much to take on board but what an adventure it’d be - the biggest problem for me is that I wouldn’t ever want to leave!😉

[@mgcharoudin]

Stop making excuses!

[@alexlopatenko5497]

Everytime I See your Videos of Howe to prepare i wish it was May and I can come over finally!

[@trdartz]

Totally need this saved.... It would be my dream trip. Nurburgring, Stuttgart and other automotive places in Germany are definitely on my bucket list. Too bad I'm in Canada and it would be a massive trip to plan to make the flight worthwhile

[@gabrielcsz8461]

In my mind was just get in the car and go to the track. But they’re so much other things, this video was very informative

[@gabrielcsz8461]

My english is really bad hahahh

[@allensaunders449]

Was wondering when the track reopened now i know. You always provide behind the scenes knowledge

[@zobrian]

This Video saved me alot of Research Work! Thanks for that!

[@Maody66NordschleifeTV]

Great vid as always, mate! :)

[@McSTALLIONYT]

Great upload once again Lads!!!

[@barfmeister8509]

Such useful information. I firmly believe anyone going to the ring for the first time should’ve done at least a day on a normal circuit if only to get a feel for the car and gauge the braking etc. The more research on the ring people do before venturing out the better whether it be in car KZbin footage or even gaming but......there’s absolutely no substitute for lapping the circuit for real ❤️

[@one350z]

Thank you Mischa and Robert!

[@patrykuckow8963]

Actually i have to admit a thing about driving in wet. My first ever TF laps were during the rain, i was sceptic about it at first and kinda scared, because ive watched too many crash videos. But i had Misha as my instructor and had awful lot of fun. Track was empty and it wasnt scary at all. 218 was also great for that purpose.

[@squarepantsist]

Excellent video again guys, really enjoying the podcast format and keeps me going in work. The M3 fleet plan makes me quiver a little. Could another question to raise be - What else is there to do @ NBR, where is best to eat around the 'ring (Ventisette of course) I wasn't aware that you could get food in EDs for example. What else is there to do near the circuit on days when you're waiting for the track to open (Schumacher Karting etc) A lot of our trips have had quite a bit of down time waiting around but a run down of other things to do whilst at NBR could be a handy side note. Thanks again guys, really great content so far

[@petermckay4760]

#goodVideo Thank you Misha and Robert!! Someday I will make it from Texas to Apex and the information you have provided will be very helpful!!

[@joemeekings6279]

Some really good information and some good ideas too! Will definitely be heading to Apex during my visit! 😬

[@mistermister8593]

Great informed video. Looking forward to my first trip over in my new 718

[@fourlakes]

I really wish I didn’t live so far away. I’d love to book a week at Apex, drive a couple days on the track, spend the rest of the time enjoying the country.

[@crookboysharveymotorsportc1109]

Hi guys will be over from the UK in on May 4th . Will pop onto club apex for a refreshment

[@robtwis7352]

Great info! Great idears! Keep going Apex🤙

[@ozrbfan]

great information again...hope to be able to use it in the future.

[@micheltebraake7915]

Nuttige informatie, wat je kunt ondernemen rond de Ring als je even niet wilt of mag rijden, er is inderdaad genoeg te zien aan leuke dingen. Oja, even het noodnummer in de mobiel zetten, dankjewel Robert voor die tip.

[@JerainJezza]

Good video and mandatory for everyone who hasn't visited the Ring yet! More rules and instructions should be on a big sign at the Zufahrt also...

[@fastandloud3702]

Great info! Can't wait to visit

[@MoepMoep-Movies]

A cool Outdoor Kart-Track at the Nürburgring would be great. I wonder why they didn´t build one years before! I hope this will be realized soon!

[@rscalvinb5492]

Great video guys 👍🏻

[@alexoehler1]

Great informative video!!!

[@janw3192]

In my experience the Sunday (~ 1.5h till closur) afternoon is also quite good. Because many peoole from further away then leave the area.

[@Maody66NordschleifeTV]

True Story!

[@Mormielo]

Thanks for sharing.

[@kennyfelix9111]

I'm from Luxembourg and the weather conditions are usually the opposite from what's happening at the ring, which is 150km away. It's quite weird. Next time I come to the ring, I'll come by and say hello :)

[@Proxo20]

cant wait to finally see it for real this summer :P

[@marcellorava6149]

This i an amazing video! I have to be honest... If you hadn't made this video, I would ask you some of the questions you mentions :-) Thanks guys :-) Thanks l for sharing Misha and Robert! I won't miss the Apex :-) Sempre i migliori!

[@jasinpirovic9375]

Very informative, I'm glad I did pretty much what you guys said. Thanks

[@Heinvanast]

Did Robert really just say: Don't stay at our hotel? Take one 30 mins away, it's cheaper! (for the big weekend) You gotta love this guy!

[@GoAppo]

I’d be sooo down for road tours !

[@samchisholm1250]

Hi Misha, I have a trip booked in April, may rent the up! if my car is not ready in time, will certainly be dropping by Apex in any case for a quick hello if that is not too intrusive!

[@lollypop9580]

Thanks a lot for all those informations. Very helpfull.

[@49tkscott]

Many thanks for the information gents, hope you don't mind, but I may POP in to say hello early August as I'm in Belgium for 2 weeks holiday.

[@mgcharoudin]

Always welcome!

[@markbuursma5895]

Great video! I think the Nurburgring should do a bit more, to display this kind of information around the track.

[@schnelleocher-norbert-4825]

Explained with expertise how to behave as a beginner at the Nürburgring and what consequences can arise from inadequate insurance coverage. Top👍

[@HATCHETHAS]

Great idea about the road trip & another top video

[@thegreywizard06]

Thanks for the informative video ;)

[@CarToneHK]

Thanks Misha and Robert for another informative video, very useful Also, I’m planning my trip to Germany with Audi, BMW, Merc and Porsche museum trip along with going to the ring, any useful pointers?

[@alejoe84]

YEEESS, And best way to get to the ring from say closest mayor German cities.

[@WOOWOW96]

From my experience the Merc museum will easily take a whole day and because of that I didn't make it to the Porsche museum on my trip although I really wanted to. So if you can't force yourself to walk quickly through the museum be prepared to spend 2 days Stuttgart. The BMW museum is much smaller in comparison and won't take as much time.

[@sermovies3217]

BMW Museum also one day easy..... Nürburgring is not at the bottom of the world, but you can see it from there... =). But on the closest cities which are worth a visit probably Cologne and Frankfurt.

[@WOOWOW96]

I will have to disagree. BMW is by far my favourite car manufacturer but I can't really imagine how you would manage to spend a whole day in that museum. I went through it very slowly (except maybe for the motorcycles where I didn't take as much time), definitely slower than 90% of the people and it took me 3,5-4 hours tops and I really don't think I missed anything.

[@CarToneHK]

WOOWOW96 Thank you! Really useful advice there, was planning to spend 3 days in Stuttgart for that exact reason, seems like having a spare day there is justified

[@MDigeridoo]

Hey Misha, you were talking about a video about the spectator places around the nordschleife. I'm really interested in this because I will come over in may for the 24h nürburgring!

[@ludwigjakob3709]

Hi. Actually Misha made this video already, released 12th of July last year, quite a good one, look here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4i9YWqlmqtresU

[@MDigeridoo]

Aah that's what I needed, thanks alot.

[@MugYoda]

Great video.

[@elcovlaminckx]

Great tips. i also really really wish to know how to get to the karrussel preferablh the inside. we mostly end up watching at adenauerfrost wich is great and pretty peacful (or breidscheid after we ate at Gulia/ventisette).

[@ludwigjakob3709]

Elco Vlaminckx Take a longer walk out of Brünnchen, like Apex guys did in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6HJaK2op7SfZ80

[@brunogrande1782]

Great advise!! Thank you !!

[@MoepMoep-Movies]

I´d like to go on a roadtrip with The Apex sometimes. That could be a great thing! I´m sure you know some nice roads around the Nürburgring i don´t know of, yet! The Eifel is a really beautful terrain for some cruising (even if you obey the speed limits)

[@crashdrumschool1]

Excellent, excellent video. Good to know 👍

[@ringracer6203]

There are also the airports of Luxembourg and the little one of Hahn or Frankfurt/Hahn (This one is in Rhineland-Palatine, it's not the big brother Frankfurt). I think from Luxembourg you need 1,5 hour.

[@jimcole5359]

Very informative Misha and Robert. I am glad I watched this one. I hadn't really thought about what else I might do if I went there other than drive the track or ride as a passenger so you guys have made some valid points for me. The thought of driving a rental car from Colone to your hotel and back is an interesting one, but is there some sort of international drivers license I would require or would my license from the US be sufficient? Obviously I would have to study up on road signs and driving laws there, but that shouldn't be too bad lol. I guess I will have to email Dyana to get the list of points of interest around there, though I would imagine I would spend quite a bit of time with my camera at various corners watching the cars.

[@m55rwm]

A couple of questions for you both ... Who insures your rental fleet ? Is there a local insurance company offering one time insurance covering NÜRBURGRING use ? ... thanks in advance.

[@mgcharoudin]

alfa scozia just a casual insurer, Allianz

[@md60100]

Very informative 👍

[@martinchapman2168]

Good video

[@szabolcscsiza7316]

Good comment

[@martinchapman2168]

BossDeFender Thanks

[@zakiasakura6481]

Very useful Pro-tips, especially for track virgins(like me) 😁

[@surviveasl]

I hope we'll come in April to Apex :D

[@sheldonaubut]

More quality information. Thanks once again. Have you ever considered having the occasional guest on your Summits? Maybe have a 10 minute guest segment where someone from the Nurburgring, a race team, car builder or other comes and participates? On videos like this input from Nurburgring officials might be of great help. Just wondering... but then we do come here for your smiling faces and thoughts.

[@mgcharoudin]

Yes, we will have that for sure!

[@lydiagould3090]

Thanks for the info. I am going to Spa end of March, and thought may come over to the Ring if I have a free day.I have a Caterham 7 (not your favourite!!LOL) but I could go out as a passenger in one of your rental cars?

[@MrE30]

Great video again Misha and Robert, In my predicament about driving my own car could you’s suggest insurance companies that will insure Tf and track days.

[@mgcharoudin]

Mr E30 it really depends on the country and your car. Best would be just google trackday insurance

[@breakupgoogle]

Sounds like a week trip would be awesome.

[@buck101850]

Lots of good info.

[@Engywook]

@Misha Charoudin Hi, I am watching all your videos and I have noticed that on the "summit" like ones, using the tripod, the lens is moving quite often zooming in and out slightly. Can't you block it or crop the final image to keep it stable ? Thanks and keep on the good work

[@mgcharoudin]

Nicolas Castin won't be an issue next time!

[@xXxH8TERxXx]

I was there during F1 @ spa last year. Nice and quit @ the ring. I sould have done more Laps...

[@serdar-akkas]

I want to come this year. Hopefully I can save some money untill then.

[@bigbaza30]

Road tour,,,, Great idea

[@mattfoster440]

Love the info.

[@RuiLOKueSeDiz]

Um dia...sim, um dia vou cumprir esse sonho ehehe Good Video Misha and Robert

[@gabrielcsz8461]

OKueSeDiz somos dois sonhadores kkkkk

[@Palbert1]

so vem pra ca! seja bem vindo na Alemanha

[@JordiMoll]

I would like to know what time of year there are less people on track. No matters the time or is wet. I think the most sensible thing is to enter as a co-driver with someone experienced, then do it with a rental car for the Nurburgring see the mistakes and at the end do it on a track day with you own car. Most of the people that raced for years told me the same. If you want to go fast, first you have to learn how to drive slow. Know you limits and the car, the rules, be gentle with the people around you. Simple as that. Thanks for the info.

[@armando_k2422]

Goede info👍🏼...wat zijn eigenlijk de regels in Duitsland als je met een open uitlaat rijdt? Mag dat of kan je dan ook net als in NL een zogenaamde "wok melding" krijgen? Thanks en ben weer benieuwd naar de volgende vlog😉

[@garzgull2]

Thanks for the tips Robert and Misha, but regarding the emergency number, if we are not German (and i think especially to britsh or non European people), it will not be free i guess, or maybe not usable at all?

[@peterforsberg1165]

I've tried to understand this calender what event and so on, but I don't get it. And your events, when will they take place? I'm trying to plan my summer now...

[@sw3255]

Thank you again for all these good "rules & habits" on the NS. Please tell us how's Dyana. :(

[@mgcharoudin]

S®W very well!

[@wojciechsoko6609]

I think we should find out who is the fastest driver. Misha, Tim or Robert? You should make a karting race, as the lap times on the Nurburgring were banned.

[@johnb9416]

I would definitely like to see that

[@mgcharoudin]

I just gonna say that Tim is without a doubt the fastest of us.

[@johnb9416]

Would still be really fun to watch while the track is closed, even better if you did it at the Michael Schumacher karting rather than the electric ones at the Nurburghring. Tom could get some brilliant drone footage.

[@RobertMitchell]

If everyone gets to use their own personal cars i am hands down the fastest... if we all have equal cars, see Misha's comment lol

[@johnb9416]

Robert, am sure you have the influence to have Tim's kart handycapped ;-)

[@Bratsoni]

Daamn a very informative video.. but still waiting for the RG Video... haha :(
