We decided to do a last minute trip to the Nurburgring in Germany in the Porsche Cayman S that ive just rebuilt. After ive sold the 992 Porsche GT3 to Tavarish ive been on the look out for another GT3. As so many crashes happen on the Nurburgring i thought it might be the perfect place to grab a bargain project car!

[@Franky.80]

As a former ring-driver i can tell you that lap was absolutely crazy. No matter if you have done 1000 laps on the sim. The real deal is different. Bumps, temperatures, traffic, oil, brakes, tires, etc. Many, many tiny things that could have end you up in the guardrails. Skill and a tiny bit of luck brought the porsche back in one piece. Well done. 😉

[@matarmstrongmk2]

Haha yeah I realised you don’t get brake fade on the sim half way round 😂

[@GT380man]

I’ve noticed a couple of times on tracks, Mat is actually a pretty quick driver. Not reckless or mad lad style quick. Anyone with nerve can do that. No, Mat has very quick reactions and crucially, he learns at high speed. I remember thinking that you don’t get to be as good at BMX as he evidently is (or was) without all those attributes: nerves, quick learning, high speed reflexes. With coaching, young Mr Armstrong would, I humbly guess, be quite competitive as a pilot. But we know all this, he’s a class act. What I particularly like is that Mat is never, ever arrogant and he remains of a positive, cheerful disposition at all times. Uncommon set of attributes. Nice one, Mat. I salute you 😊

[@dukezero5074]

Hi Mat, loved the video, but as a German I just had one huge ick.. What you did at 5:42 was incredibly dangerous. Never never ever stop on the shoulder for a non-emergency and especially walk around there unless your car absolutely does not move by itself anymore. The accidents stemming from distracted drivers and cars/people on the shoulder here are often some of the worst, so seeing you and your friends just walking around and talking there was unnerving to see. So please, don't do that in the future anymore. If your car does actually brake down, put on safety vests, put the emergency triangle a few hundred meters behind your car and ALWAYS! keep behind the railing.

Mat - all you need to do when booking on the tunnel is state you have a high vehicle above 1.85m and you go in the normal train but in the single decker section. As no stairs it is wider inside. I do this with my Maserati GrantTurismo to avoid damaging the alloys. Same price.

Mat has become a true Porsche lover 😬😆 ..Congrats on all your success Mat 👏

[@timogutzeit981]

Hey Mat, awesome video. Aaaaand: well done on the Nürburgring! :-) As I own a 991.1 GT3 since last november, I can tell you, that the way you love Porsche will definitely increase, when you drive this one. It is by far the most perfect car I've ever driven. And I just love it. A model in good condition costs around 145-150k (depending on mileage, servcing etc.) here in Germany. So if the engine and the gearbox are okay, I would give it a try with around 70-80k. If not: don't go for it! And if you buy it, you have to bring it back here and do a rideout on the Nürburgring with you fans! ;-) Good luck. Timo

[@yellow73914]

My initial gut was also close, 65-75K. Re-watching it though, it would be a very risky bet without putting it on a lift first and checking the true extent of the damage. If the sellers aren't amenable to that, there's probably a reason for it and that would probably cap a "sensible" price at about 50K.

[@anthonybrowne4022]

Mat thank you so much for your Driving skills I was on the edge of my seat😱 great video guys so happy you all got back in one place 🫶🏻👏🏻👍🏻

[@massivley]

For me this is the best KZbin channel out there cannot get enough of it, have not laughed so much

[@GadgetUK164]

[@kentsmith4432]

Love your positive vibes & content Mat. Hope you get the GT3 🤞

[@blazbohinc4964]

The car is realistically worth 130-150, since it probably has rear structural damage. They’ll want 200k for it though. And at that point, it’s cheaper to buy a second hand one for 270-300.

[@KeKKrol]

Absolutely love watching all your builds. Doesn't seem to matter what obstacles are thrown up, you overcome them. Favourite build so far has to be the Aston. That wrap is inspired and looks awesome ❤. Keep repairing and building 👍👍😎

[@Nathan_R32]

loving the video, for me id love to see you rebuild another gt3, however what i think you should do once its done is rent a garage out in Germany to keep it in and then you have the perfect ring car for when you go out there. plus you could even rent it out for track days and its another source of income?

[@jwwj30]

Sometimes I enjoy the behind-the-scenes footage more than the regular videos & that’s why I watch this channel. Thank you Mat for taking the extra time to produce & edit this educational & very entertaining channel.

Gday Mat, The wrecked Porsche has potential but nothing frustrates me more in a deal than when the seller won’t give you a price. Wants you to make an offer! “Sorry mate, I can’t buy it and sell it!” Any chance of getting back there and having a better look on a lift at the underside damage? Great channel content. 👍👍🍻

[@Mox2077]

Agreed...Seller is basically saying "Let's see how clueless you are"....

Matt nice drive but I noticed alot of understeer in agressive corners- to avoid that especially on nürburgring- you need to so to say throw car into corners - for that u need to agressively steer mega slightly to the opposite way of the turn right before it and then right away same aggressively towards the turn. Best track in the world, Im 38 and I started studying this track on a simulators since I was 14 got onto the track for the first time when I was 20

I’ve been round the Ring a few times on 5 different visits in various cars and can honestly say it is one of my favourite places on the planet. The track is unbelievable and punishing for your car and body. I was sweating like a pig after coming off and the adrenaline rush was intense. Even the car parks there are a feast for the eyes and some great people from all over the world to chat to. I even had the pleasure of meeting Sabine Schmitz in the car park (RIP queen of the Ring). If you love cars like myself and your thinking about going, just do it, you won’t regret it. Walkie Talkie’s are a must for the journey if your going with a few mates and in my opinion Eindhoven is a good place to stop overnight on route. The coffee shops are worth a visit. 😜
