Casually overtaking a Porsche and a Ferrari in a Clio..... love it. Great instructions

+Christian Kunert the yellow porche is leaving him in the dust

[@MultiTerpen]

+Christian Kunert Skill is a big factor, it does not always come down to the car

[@ronnietjikoeri9965]

MultiTerpen thats why races are often in classes. So that its about the driver and not about car performance

[@michaelschneider-]

+Christian Kunert ......Yeah,,,.. Gotta luv it.... Driving a Clio. ....Professional driver Hurley Haywood as our lead instructor when at Road Atlanta was introducing the class of 10 students to the details of the tract,.. all the while driving a 12 passenger Dodge van.... With the van fully loaded he drove the van around Road Atlanta like only a pro could.....Unbelievable...

[@captainslav6528]

+MultiTerpen At higher professional levels the car can make a big difference because everyone is at a similar level , there isn't a massive difference between the drivers at that level. But at normal track days the drivers skill levels vary quite a bit so it's not uncommon to see someone driving a really fast car getting passed by a better driver in a slower car. The faster car will of course help the slower drivers a bit especially if there car has better tyres but they won't be able to use it's full potential.

Finally someone got it right! Record in different camera angles and let the viewer *choose* their preferred one. Don't switch around.

[@behindthen0thing525]

No

[@ranger_1472]

Started playing AC on a sim, I dove into the nordschleife head on in a gt86, it took quite some time to get a run in without majorly screwing up. I got a lap time of 9:32.382, I'm glad I have this video to help me lower my times down.

[@philiplove5506]

I drove the Nordschleife last summer. Even though I drive a Ferrari at home, and race often, I made LOTS of mistakes here! I was passed by Clios and Meganes. I truly realized that track knowledge is crucial. Much more important than horsepower. There were 9 accidents on the day I went. So If you are planning to drive the Nordschleife, plan the drive and learn the corners. Armco is expensive and paying for a new racecar is even more so! That being said, my laps on the Nordshcleife were some of the best memories I have.

[@darkmist977]

Cant wait for the dream pack

[@tubestubb]

He is doing a 9 min 20 secs lap, in a relaxed and cool manner. So impressive. And thank you for all the tips.

[@BubbaSmurft]

This was/is just brilliant. Thanks for an awesome lesson. I will be coming back to this many times.

[@Xavipie91]

When you see this it shows me that I have alot to learn still...

[@bstadele]

Wow , very nice driving and talking , I can't even walk and chew at the same time ha ha

[@1061shrink1061]

Simply the best. I always come back to this video. This should be the textbook for how this is done. Forget the nonsense spouted by Misha, who just shouts an endless series of meaningless instructions at you. This here, is the right level of information, delivered calmly, concisely and with clearly a deep level of understanding. Just gold standard!

[@boosthiz3166]

And I appreciate you doing this instructional video in a car that most people could afford, modify to their taste and drive.

[@Missionmtman]

Wow... Drinking knowledge out of a firehouse with this video. For someone like me that doesn't know the track, I have to watch this video at least 10 times to really "get" each corner.

[@613machine]

YES! Beautiful lines, smooth driving and fast! LOVE the commentary, LOVE the helmet cam, LOVE EVERYTHING :D

[@welshdude6669]

I'm going to play this on loop in my sleep before I go this year..

[@rabc1966]

That's a great instructional video. Thanks for posting. I've been 3 times now, about 40 laps and can appreciate your advice. My fastest lap is 9:45, however I can see where I can carry more speed in some of the corners. Still better to enjoy a little slower lap and be able to drive home afterwards than try to be a hero!

[@johanndaart7326]

This guide is the best. In 10 minutes you explained more than some other guys in 1h guides. Gearing and mentioning turn in / apex points are key to a good guide. Thanks!

[@sapurvis]

Thank you for producing. I will watch this many times before I get my chance to drive the Ring. STR!

[@henriksmedberg2570]

Very good video. You are a great instructor Anthony. With your help I did cut 20s at Spa when I attended a trackday where you were instructor.

[@user-wd5ml7jm8v]

Loving these instructions Antony, the lines are really superb for beginners, Ive learned this track watching this clip several times going and coming back from the simulator. I urge anyone that wants to avoid crashing to see this video over and over again to save your self the embarrassment when it counts in real life. NO EGOS

[@pereldh5741]

The righthander at the "start" (after Hohenrein) and Klostertal 2 is second gear for most cars.

[@FREEDOOOOM]

Nice one, thanks! Now I´m gonna tackle it on GT6 with the G27, BAMM! :)

[@booztdrifter7189]

Lol same here :P

[@FREEDOOOOM]

Boozt Drifter Pretty much the best track in the world imho. :)

[@IgnorantGamerz]

you wrote this a year ago, has this helped?

[@FREEDOOOOM]

Ignorant Gamerz Lol! Yes, great help and video for beginners. Made over 20.000 km on the ring, so far. Just love the Green Hell. :)

[@IgnorantGamerz]

ProPilot71 hahaha thats awesome! thank you for responding back, glad to know it works, hopefully, i'll be better a year from now too lol. Green Hell Academy starts now for me. -Snow of IGZ

[@armatar]

Nice video. Recognized your South African accent immediately, good to hear!

[@Congaman41]

Great video to use as reference. Thanks for sharing this video that also shows how hard the Nordschleife is to learn.

[@andreidmny]

Fantastic video, great commentary and smooth driving! My favourite Nordschleife guide!

[@ColinZeal01]

Excellent video of the perfect track.

[@thabanglesetla1021]

Wow the commentary!! BRILLIANT! I felt like I was the one driving! Great lessons, Kudos!

[@Dagrond]

This is still my favorite video. Real instruction.

[@thegatesofsleep]

Great video. I never stop learning and finding room for improvement on this incredible course.

[@matdank1]

Brilliant video. Thanks. Great prep for a visit

[@steveclaeysgoesracing]

Very instructional video. Clear talk through which I enjoyed a lot. Thumbs up Anthony.

[@Pogost1ck]

Great video! Very nice explanation of the lines as well, superb.

[@tombax338]

That was awesome. I really didn't knew that there were so many signs for turn in/brake. Great video, thanks!

[@SatanClaus69]

Perfect stuff! I've been doing hotlaps of the Nordschleife on Assetto Corsa and this guide has helped so much!!

[@swine13]

Nice driving. Helpful video. Thanks!!

[@CARLOS62B]

Wonderful to watch ... thank you for the ride.

[@UhhhhhnooOOo00oO]

Finally...someone with these videos. Great stuff!

[@wikki11]

This Video is plain awesome, thank you!

[@higgalot1919]

Sent your video to someone who plans to head to the Nurburgring- very helpful! Enjoyed the hints and suggestions.

[@lazarusdigital]

Very clear,Very helpful video. job well done. One day I will leave New Zealand & drive this track again & again.

[@Dagrond]

You just made a lot of people really happy.

[@DavideGTI86]

This is my favourite camera angle!

[@JacanaProductions]

Ha ha, a fellow South African here, I just landed in Leipzig for 8 months and now I just have to figure out how to persuade my mother in law to take her car for the day on a little "trip" east!!

[@boosthiz3166]

AWSOME!!!!!!! Very good explanation! Thats what ive been doing on GT5 with the BMW M3. I cant wait to do it in person in 2 years! Thank you so much!

[@v_alexiadis]

Great video guys, thank you!

[@MikeOnBike360]

Thanks a lot! I love the idea with the different camera angles. Mike

[@keithprice6581]

Wow, makes it look so easy!

[@jayp8305]

Very good video and very useful for other tracks as well.

[@HubertsBlues]

Best instruction ever, so cool and still so fast. You have all my respect and thanks a lot man!

[@jamieotis214]

great video. excellent commentary whilst driving.

[@chrisg4rr377]

I'm going next week. This video is a great help

[@mattbradley1716]

Best video of its kind. I know my way around it well enough and know the corners to be particularly wary of. Now I'm determined to memorise the names of the corners and sections of my spiritual home.

[@MinaBassilious]

Great info and a beautiful produced video. Fantastic work!

[@Hempflakes]

did you just fucking pass a ferrari in a renault?

[@Cancun771]

Hempflakes Money don't buy you skill.

[@callumthrow]

Cancun771 Haha...awesome comment!

[@radbertgrimmig3979]

Cancun771 Well, actually it does, sadly... what money does NOT buy you is *talent*

[@matejchrenko6601]

Radbert Grimmig Callum Throw Cancun771 Maybe the guy in Ferrari is doing his first laps on Nordschleife? Not everyone in a Ferrari has enough money, to smash them every once in a while, some people made lifetime investmensts in those cars. But I know, I´m on youtube and you guys are all pro racers, doing Norschleife under 7 minutes in MK II Golf diesel.

[@callumthrow]

Matej Chrenko Dude I agree with you that maybe there is a solid reason why he passed that Ferrari and yeah the risk of smashing such an expensive car is not worth taking! But it was a good comment that's all!

[@williwonti9462]

Thanks for your advice RSRNurburg it really helped when I did my first lap on Sunday. Nothing really prepares you for the change in elevation, the camber and the kicks that Nordschleife throws up!! Cheers!!

[@danield.8615]

Excellent video. Thanks!

[@SuspiciousActivity871]

Awesome video! I drive this track a couple times per day in a game and it’s on my bucket list to visit, get some training/lessons, and then do some high speed laps in an appropriate car.

fantastic video and great info for all newbies!

[@skrads]

Great instructions! Well done!

[@dundee1000]

Great video, Thank you. Will be doimg lots of study before I come to do a couple of laps.. I can't wait👍

[@racewins369-qn1od]

I bought your book on amazon thanks for the turn stats and major bends.

[@Cydro12]

excellent quality! enjoyed it a lot.

[@callumthrow]

Some amazing tuition right there! Awesome video guys..

[@muckinfuncky]

Excellent video - Thanks

[@MammonDurden]

[@cineman73]

[@HarryHunterx]

Ich bin der gleichen Meinung wie die Zuschauer vor mir. Super Video, und vielen Dank. Das werde ich mir sicher noch öfters anschauen vor dem nächsten Trackday. Dear Anthony, many thanks for guiding the rookies brilliantly through the magnificient track. Regards Harry

[@mikekuka5428]

Fantastic video! Makes me also drool for the dream pack release :)

[@FireplayerDB]

Thank you. Nice instruction.

[@matthoulden3725]

great video. looks nice and steady yet a less than 9 1/2 minute lap! shows how driving smoothly not aggressively is quick

[@ozzcasale]

good throttle, good ratios, congratulations!

[@tckurth1]

Nice video Antony....

[@aston739]

Very instructive thank you!

[@GZA036]

The GT school in Gran Turismo 5 was really useful for learning this place

[@santijmm]

+GZA036 Very true! amazing how accurate the track in Gran Turismo 5 is.

[@Pazdrowski84]

Great video, for now i Watch it everyday couple of times and Drive around Nordschleife in Forza Motorsport - 8.42 in Honda Civic Type R 2018, no assist, that’s my favorite car. I drove over 5000 km on that track In game and still counting. I’m preparing for a trip to Nordschleife in real life soon :) and I just love how you spell Miss-Hit-Miss, it’s awesome:)

[@dmfd123]

Really good

[@SergeyKennyKonovalov]

Very useful tutorial!

[@MrJohancederberg]

[@EvilDreamcaster]

Great help for getting a good pace as a beginner.(me) This video alone made it feel quite smooth driving the ring and felt a lot safer. Just need 1 more watch and go drive Agaton

[@tunctoker856]

Excellent - this video is the best. I wish I have seen it months ago haha....

[@clockworkpotato]

nice, thank you!

[@datashiyanai507]

Thanks sir

[@jayrmpotokwane6238]

Nicely done my fellow South African!

[@stevenmarchand5518]

Oh Man! What a ride! Great instruction.. Except for the jumps which are hard to dicern from the car I was right with you on my (natural) turn and braking points. I think I might actually put down a good lap(without meeting guardrail) given a chance. TFS! Fun, Fun.

[@jeremy_yyds]

what a legend!!!

[@todea]

Thank you, very informative :)

[@sarthak8441]
