INSANE Night Fight for P1! - THE BEST Drive Of My Life! // Nürburgring

[@xDoctorCortex]

You know when that driver asked his pit crew who's riding his ass and they replied "The vlogger" a cold chill ran down his spine, Keep pushing Misha! You will get that P1

[@Jimmy_Broadbent]

Giga stint bro, would have loved to have seen the battle play out over the race 😢

[@RelativelyAwesome5]

Misha is the only guy who doesn't consider himself a racecar driver with so much experience on the most notorious track.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

I guess he considers himself a racecar driver once racing makes majority of his income. Before that he's a vlogger that just doesn't have to pay for driving a race car.

[@originalmianos]

Like Hikaru in chess.

[@Priapos93]

He does alright on other tracks, too. I guess having most of the world's possible turns in his backyard helps.

[@MuppetsSh0w]

@@MikkoRantalainen You realize a lot of racing drivers, even in LMDh class don't make majority of their income through racing? What an absolutely nonsensical thing to say. Try to use your brain next time.

He even hits the apex on the corner... I missed it in the day time!

Nobody there drives the track based only on vision. All of them could almost drive it blindfoldedly

I've actually raced a 24 hour race in an Opel Astra 1.6 once, just super super amateur stuff but I did a full tank night sprint in that race and I can't tell you how much respect I have for the guys doing these night stints in the real 24 hour races. The traffic and the headlights all around is just mental. It's so hard to focus and do good lap times, this is where the racers are sorted from the rest. So huge props misha. Your youtube channel is truly fascinating to watch. You're a proper racer! So are the other ones! Love to see you guys going after it.

[@koraxi8958]

My hats off to you aswell! Some don't even get that far 😮‍💨

[@peterrrr]

Being at the N7.5 this year was probably the best ever experience i had of all things motorsport even with the bummer weather. The whole atmosphere is just something else. From the 8:00AM campsite 'guten morgen sonnenschein eurotechno remix' wake up call, to the several friendly classic car drivers who offered to sit in the car without even asking, seeing my 3 favourite youtu...khm race drivers on track, Kevin Estre in the rain...Best 4 days I had in a long time. What stunned me the most how fecking fast GT3s really are. Already started to save up for next year.

[@S___________D]

Brother, thanks for giving me the motivation to come next year. Or I'll do my best, at least, but sounds like hell of a lot of fun. My brother in law would also love that. Glad you enjoyed yourself, Peter and obviously, congratulations to Misha and the team!

[@peterrrr]

@@S___________D you'll not regret it i guarantee. Mind you, getting into the camp was a pain in the ass but apart from that we had an enormous blast. Everyone is friendly and the whole event is like a 4 days long petrolhead festival.

Way to go MISHA!!!! Proud to be a subscriber and patron of your channel.

Its nice to feel for a fleeting moment that all you work isnt in vain and it actually take root.

[@ViktorPalosi]

I wonder how many times Misha had to remind himself Not to take the right hander that's just before the GP track straight lol Awesome driving! I really enjoy chilling to the night onboards and was sad that things happened the way they did. Especially after having to get a VPN just to be able to watch the damn thing.

[@niekie1999]

I would just like to say you guys were absolute legends during the weekend. Not only the amazing job you did, but also the way you took your time to interact with fans

[@ericn3221]

Congrats Misha! That was insane. Dark, wet and starting 90 seconds back and challenging for the win. Everyone knows you guys really did win and that is what matters.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

13:23 The approach to foxhole looks insane with this dim lights! Hopefully you could see more while driving the car.

[@iampostcode]

Just knew on the run to Aremberg exactly what Misha was going to do though, and then the drop down Foxhole gets me every time, even in the pitch black.

[@zxsr999]

You're living the dream. Great driving!

[@DennisfromMunich]

I saw your stint on the onboard and I was so hyped about the pace you put on. The hunt for P1 was epic and the overtake the icing on the cake! So gutted we didn’t get to see the race until the end but next year will be even more epic!

[@jackbauer3119]

i know its probably a really bad idea to open it at least one time at night for tourist drives but damn i'd love to drive it at night. its amazing at night on assetto corsa/GT7. great fight there with P1

[@Bogdyindahous]

Congrats, Misha! You're a legend! I love how you raced..you were on fire and pushed the car to its limits. Great video!

[@DunkDrives]

Mate, watching that was exhilarating! You could literally see the experience and confidence difference you had in the track. Wonderful to watch, P1 is yours, just keep fighting brother!

[@ARMATURISTA]

I am proud of you and the boys, Misha. I am proud of the whole team! "Knowing" you (most correctly "following") since the time you where shy to accept yourself as a "car enthusiast" (even not a vlogger) - makes me to feel your joy and confidence realizing the reality that you are actually a real "race driver"! Same for the boys sharing that same wheel. You deserving it. And it's well deserved. Cheers, salutes, all of my best wishes and... and Thank you!

[@gohu78]

I have seen many many of your laps but this one is definitly showing what a great racer you are ! Impressive

[@Google_Is_Evil]

Nice overtake. He made room for the GT3 and you just dove in behind it and went through. It was pretty clear you had no trouble keeping up with his tempo for the previous half lap and you executed this well.

[@ghostofcpast8893]

I've raced all my life and in / on everything I could. I've watched a lot of your videos. Mister ..... YOU ARE a racer and a good one. You have what I like to call racer mentality too.

Great Job Misha and the whole team. As someone who watches most of your videos I must say, its very impressive that you do what you do.

Such a great stint, you were crushing the other team, the difference in speed in corners was huge between you two. I'm sooo glad that I was there to witness it all live, yes the race ended after 7.5 hours but still amazing experience. I'm coming back next year for sure. Cheers Misha!

[@sylvainjamais904]

Really exciting to watch. I had watched some of the ADAC stream after you last video. My heart stopped when that Porsche attempted to shorten your bonnet. Very nice dog fight with that other M4.

Why do those cars in front have such blinding led lights? Its seems like its impossible to drive behind them

[@StubbyPhillips]

Absolutely. LED brake lights are out of control. I keep sunglasses handy at night for when I have to wait behind vehicles (usually some obnoxious SUV) at stop lights with 900 gazillion lumens of red light shining in my face. I thought there were regulations about such things, but I guess not. Not here in the U.S. anyway.

[@mgcharoudin]

Those are rain lights. Only allowed in rain

Well done Misha! Nothing easy about it. It looked like your day-light lines were a bit more positive than these night ones. Are your straight ahead lights as good as possible? These are not rally cars of course, with banks of lights. It just appeared really dark when the track ahead was empty. We could still see your amazing Nordschlief knowledge at work. Beautiful to watch you pulling in each car. Bravo! PS- dip stick in the Cayman, shutting the door. Totally agree it is better to finish than force him to let you by.

0:46 The 'last minute entry' was the Team of Timo Glock and Timo Scheider. It wasn't actually that last minute as Glock had been preparing with earlier VLN races to get his ring license. According to Scheider (ex DTM champion) it was actually a beer idea, hatched in a pub. The reason they drove GT4 was that Glock had too few races to get a top level license. So it wasn't actually a last-minute entry, just a last-minute switch to a lower class.
