I DROVE TO THE NURBURGRING & FOUND A WRECKED PORSCHE GT3

[@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.

[@oakleygt]

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. 😜

[@mattriley324]

Amazing video Matt, split screen camera angles on the ring were spot on buddy! Keep it coming, how about restoring some older race cars and getting them back on the track?

[@johannes_reinert]

@matt i would probably offer them 90k or 100k because a good one with very few kilometers is at around 180k right now. My dad bought one for 170 so 90-100 is probably a good offer

[@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.

[@fordwrc2006]

Matt, I hope you’ll have a go at an Alfa one day - maybe a Giulia cloverleaf spec if you can find a damaged one you can put back together. Be a new challenge and most people love an Alfa Romeo. ❤️❤️❤️

[@robertoschols3599]

Hi Mat, nice video again and I would start the bidding at half the price that a GT3 would cost without any damages and don’t forget to reclaim the VAT cause your exporting it to the UK, cheers m8

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. 👍👍🍻

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

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.

Very few people realise how much time it takes to do the editing get all your transitions done then to export and render and check it for mistakes then upload it to youtube which takes ages and that's assuming your footage is ok and none of your cards are corrupted your cameras were in focus and you had enough light and the lighting has not interfered with camera frame rate and caused banding, then is your audio loud enough and clear enough to be used, lol there is a bit more to it than just standing in front of the camera. To get it as polished as Mat does is a huge amount of work.

[@PSPBRIKK]

no underestimate the damage Mat, probably if the rear suspension is gone, the axle shaft could have caused damage to the differential, I think that for 90k € it's a good price for you and also for them, so they have already recovered the investment with the 'insurance.

U 💯 have to buy rebuild that race car mat!! It’s currently just taking up space at RSR and if you look into the price per day that car will have been making for track days I am sure it’s more than paid for itself by now 😉 Hence the reason why they haven’t rebuilt it it’s more than likely been settled on the Insurance and is now a paperweight to them. Taking into account uk prices for them cars are higher than Europe and it’s a right hand drive in left hand land it’s ideal for export and a really good idea if you can get it at a competitive price as all the plus sides are too your advantage, after all who wants a right hand drive damage repairable in Europe outside of the track event days 🤔👍😎
