INSANE "Disabled" Driver's Skills will BLOW YOU AWAY! / BMW M2

[@brad741]

Got really emotional for me watching that. Because literally that's his escape from his wheelchair. That's his freedom. I can feel that strongly

[@nashsutton1467]

Same here. It sounded like he’d never tracked a car until he was disabled. But after he did he never stopped. Once he’s in that car his “disability” no longer hampers him but instead he becomes one with it. This is his therapy and it’s beautiful to watch. You can tell this guy has a lot of seat time when he’s talking about needing harness in 6th gear 😂

[@perfectstranger831]

Wow! I can only imagine how well he would do with a fully built race car with a proper seat lol. Amazing driver and seems like a great guy!

The guy in the wheelchair just schooled an able body driver like Misha where it stated that a disabled person can still drive no matter what disabilities they have. What next is a blind person driving that track this one would break the narrow minded people's ego 😅😅😅

[@ClarkAnd]

This lap was absolutely incredible. Dude kept his eyes on the horizon, so focused and smooth in his motions. His lines were better than most and you can tell he has a great understanding of that car. This was a very good watch!

[@ghost500e]

One of the cleanest laps EVER seen on the ring. This is right up there with absolute prodriver skills. Just wow. Edit: thx for all the likes on the comment❤️👍

Even the control during those enthusiastic overtakes was perfect

[@_chex]

He drove the track on “expert” difficulty and made it look easy. Mad props.

[@JeffNoel]

I'll be honest, the intro and small chat made this video even more awesome. Just meeting someone out of the blue and hopping in for a lap, having fun and talking. This is so cool and shows how great the community can be to meet people! This guy is a fucking badass and drives like a champ too!

[@yalimdilmen7960]

he is really driving the car on limits with so much confidence. forget about the disability...this is one of the best amateur drivers I have ever seen on this track. give him a contract! such an inspiration.

[@madfred666120]

The lap he’s done is what you would expect from an experienced pro pilot. Very impressive, and he did that apparently with no effort. The way he nails schwedenkreuz which is imo the hardest part of the track, is just… wow.

[@janhrdlicka2703]

90% with one hand on steering, I can´t imagine... all the corrections 🤯

[@Nick-zm1hx]

Even mentioning he still didn't know the ring too good at all like wtf my guy you made people jealous that have been driving here their whole life 😏

[@moparedtn]

Forget any handicaps for a moment - this guy has real *talent* behind the wheel! Very smooth, despite having probably the busiest hands of any of us when driving for sure. The coordination required to operate all those controls by hand simultaneously is amazing - and he does so flawlessly and without hesitation. Top it all off with excellent concentration and a certain required bravado and it all means a wonderful lap from an impressive gentleman! -Ed on the Ridge

[@alfieboy4022]

Crazy good technique and very tidy for the most part. This guy laps the ring far better than most people with both hands and feet available. His humility in knowing he has more to learn means he’ll get even better over time.

[@derwissenskiosk8041]

Yes that was so smoth... :O

[@stevetadman6272]

So smooth, never unsettling the car, using all of the track. He is very high level. Impressive and very enjoyable to watch

[@paulchilders9969]

When Misha is quiet in the passenger seat, you know it's fast. I swear it seems like those hand controls actually make him drive smoother.

[@hyperarm]

knowing fact that video always showing actual speed slower than it is, but in this video all looks very fast. Soo calmly concentrated. Insane driving skillz!

[@jsjooste]

My mans face told the whole story xD I've never seen Misha so emotional as a passenger before. Credit to the driver 💪🏽

[@chrisbradley3224]

"the way he passed the slower cars clearly shows his balls were not injured." This is one of the best comments I've read so far here on KZbin, since it not only makes you laugh, but also because it almost is an understatement!

I also race with hand controls as well. It becomes second nature after a while and it always amazes people when you blow by them on the track, then they see you throw your wheelchair out and tend to the race car. Keep spreading the knowledge so people don’t think everyone with disabilities is “helpless”.

[@FreePalestine254]

I'm really proud of our disable brother. You're a true DEFINITION of DISABILITY IS NOT INABILITY. You've learned to turn wounds into wisdom and enjoying life. The strong do not loom on other people's paths, neither do they trade in happiness, nor do they beg for love. Stay strong and go for it.

[@juancarloslozano3374]

He drives like if there are no curves, he uses the car at it's maximun capacities, he shows an amazing confidence, also we want to know about the car setup MIsha, what a driver!!

[@phosion]

I watched the whole thing, I am impressed! The driver is very smooth, especially considering getting thrown around in the seat and having to keep his hands stable which have low shoulder support from seat and having issues that dont allow pressing his hips firmly to the seat etc. This seems to be a haven for him, I bet he would enjoy a custom simulator for the days it rains or snows. Misha always meets such grand people in his sessions.

[@samsonian]

Very impressive. Homie definitely needs a harness and a seat that keeps him from moving around so much; few people realize that when you have lost control below the waist there are a lot of muscles we aren’t thinking about that we use all the time and take for granted. I imagine that could be quite disconcerting as a driver to be bounced around so much without leg and gluteal muscles to brace with. I give him all the credit; I wouldn’t be surprised if he was quite competitive in racing. Cheers! 🖖😎👍

[@ksprr6856]

Not clickbait at all.. really good driving, you can see even misha is impressed

[@PhatFarmer]

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]

Very very rarely do we see Misha so quiet and focused, even rarer is to hear him swear. And to see him calculating and processing what he is experiencing to such a level was almost a one off. And I have to say that "Axl" deserved and earned every ounce of Misha`s respect and admiration. I hope you found a new friend Misha = )

[@Mosquitor69]

This one is great. Always shift at 6.5, break only a little and balancing into corner, not turn.

Best driving video you've shared this year so far Misha, really impressive driving skills!

[@calvincooley1074]

My dude is getting it done! I'm a 34 year (driving) paraplegic myself and I believe that our ability to brake better than many able bodied people is because we sense more through our hands & fingers. I really like his setup, could you provide info about it please? Does dude havve a YT channel?

[@d1sturb3d119]

That's a very valid point! On my motorcycle I feel so much more through the brake lever and any change in traction is detectable as opposed to my feet that are doing dumb things. Even on the bike, the rear brake requires a different type actuation. While popping a wheelie the rear brake can be controlled but its still rough compared to the front where the lever has more feel.

[@stenovitz]

This video flies straight into my personal top 3 Micha content of all times. Talks straight into the heart ❤️ Edit: not primarily due to the disability itself (have both a colleague and a reletive each in a wheel chair and both too driving very well behind wheels of similar setups) - but doing it soo smoothely on the edge, almost perfection for each corner in early brake and very fast out, perfect feeding, down gearing, trail braking, etc, etc. It's just a pure joy watching again and again, at least as good (if not better) as watching Micha being a guest with Kubica behind the wheel. There can't be a handful of this guy. Just supreme.

[@alishanmao]

never let disabilities hold you down. what a superb driving man :) love it

[@64Hurricane]

Very much enjoyed this lap around the ring. Thie gentleman has fantastic smooth connecting lines from corner to corner. He uses the midrange of the engine without abusing it which provides a stable and controlled car with excellent transitions without binding the car in the middle of the corner and allowing it to release out to the end of the exit. Beautiful to watch. Once he has full race seat and harness holding him inplace he will immediately be quicker. Thank you gentleman wonderful video.
