I DROVE TO THE NURBURGRING & FOUND A WRECKED PORSCHE GT3

[@kris2384...]

I'm 39. I grew up without a dad. I never felt I missed out... until I watched you and your dad. Live the channel. Fantastic video

[@kemalyildiz4992]

Fr dude seeing him with his father makes me miss mine so much

[@mikepanek736]

Mat has become one of my favorite people on KZbin. I started watching him way before he even had a half a million followers and now he’s getting close to two million. Just a all around great guy that is living the dream.

[@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 😂

​@@matarmstrongmk2That was def a hot lap! Couple times thought "oh shit"! 😅 glad to see her in 1 pc! This was an epic video of its own! More like this in the future! Tell Hanna, Kevin and Dad we ❤ them from Ohio. Far from florida!

[@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.

[@chrisdaigle5410]

How far apart are the exits for the Autobahn? I would have waited for an off ramp.

Thought his brakes failed ?

Good advice. 👍

[@m4rit928]

it felt very weird yeah

[@matklik1480]

Mat thought his brakes had gone wouldn’t you say that’s an emergency stop??

[@snickers882]

Isn't it crazy how knowledgeable Matt has become about expensive cars exp fixing and knowing what's wrong and how to fix them.

My #1 channel at the moment. Watching Mat and his Dad bring back top performers has been a ton of fun. Love seeing a project out there on the track! Do similar trips with the M5 and the Murci!

[@colinmorgan8641]

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.

[@alialsaedi1893]

Mat is a genius and I have a feeling that his father has a lot to do0 with it, Mat's father needs a lot more exposure in this channel. props to Mat he is humble his father too. as a fan of the channel and probably seen every video on both of Mats channels more than twice and all his shorts, I must say I really enjoy the little times when Mat's father gets some video time

[@josh3466]

[@gardenguru461]

I love watching the rebuilds but seeing you actually use the cars is brilliant. Seeing the enjoyment you get on these road trips with these cars will inspire more to go harder at living their dreams

[@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?

[@GadgetUK164]

Even if its a tonne of work, I am sure we all want to see another GT3 repair, and maybe you get to keep this one!?!?

[@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.

[@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.

[@DIYfatbodyGTO]

Damn, watching that makes me want to go there!! Great to see having a great time, having so fun with the boys, all that “hard work beats talent” paying off!!

[@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. 😜

[@GAS.M3]

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. ❤️❤️❤️

[@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.
