K20 MR2 vs quick BMWs - Nürburgring Nordschleife

This was the first session out on the trackday with Circuit Days last year. It was good fun out with these other cars whilst learning the Toyota!

[@isaacmarquez565]

Cars who will not allow you to pass when you’re clearly faster are the worst

[@gm5383]

I don't even know why they do it, having a car stuck behind them for ages only makes them look slower

[@jamesf8864]

Their cars are writing cheques their talent can't cash 👎

He was being scared, there was plenty of opportunities for him to overtake

[@1mawesomel1kethat]

Give em a little boop in a corner, they'll learn 😜

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

What's the point in letting him pass only for him to be slow on the straight..... ///M POWER

[@FDietzNutz]

NOTHING makes me happier than Toyotas/Hondas showing BMWs and Mercedes that the only thing special about their expensive European cars are the engines and their engines alone.

[@s4ms0n1t3]

Blokes like that in the wingless m3 really need a talking to in the pits.

[@AshleyCaunt]

As far as your laps of the ring go.. that was pretty tame, and quite entertaining to see the bmw drivers pushing their absolute limits to try and hold the little MR2 off while you were sat at 80% most of the time from how the video looked anyway, I could be wrong but certainly wasn’t as aggressive as a lot of your ring videos 😂

[@chpark4883]

Nice driving~!!. And those bmws were faster at only straights.

[@EscapePlan97]

CH Park only because they aren’t skilled.

[@nvl2691]

Ring Jäger The MR2 is a superior track car in every aspect, apart from straight line speed, but the BMWs are still great cars.

[@EscapePlan97]

Nathan Vonlanthen Yeah of course. M3‘s & co. ain’t got nothing on MR2ˋs 😂 It’s light and easy to drive, I’ll give it that.

[@nvl2691]

great pilot, very fair driving, VERY steady car, White BMW should have pulled over long before he did. You showed great patience !!

[@strsuk-snappingturtlerescu4719]

[@Fuzzarr]

An exercise in restraint

[@Kenny.1979]

One hell of a driver, great skills for all to see.

[@iansimpson8309]

You can see how much the wingless white BMW was holding you back once it eventually stepped aside. The way you aggressively attacked those next corners was a thing of beauty (and bravery!) The only thing the wee car was done on was top speed, in the corners, pilot and car were in another league to those around them. Great vid!

[@_tajae_artwrkz]

The way the mr2 goes through the corners is impressive and effortless. I honestly thought the rear was going to slid out on some of those corners. lol wow amazing car

[@maxvel0city906]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Danny can drive! You weren't even pushing the car to it's maximum and your quicker than those M3s with more than double the HP in the corners, only thing the M3s could do was pull you a bit on the straights. Brilliant driving Danny👍

[@daneszhuncho]

9:56 time for a cig

[@fullyrc8555]

Great driving btw Dan! Your really calm and patient! Must be frustrating going round with other drivers getting in the way but you keep a cool head. Car sounds amazing too! I’d love to go around the ring in my s2k but to nervous of other people.

[@TheMick26]

Hello again Danny. You said there were 2 more vids on the way and you certainly didn't waste any time.👍 Thanks, mate. I believe this was just what we all needed to finish off a long week. Fun watching you mix it up with those BMWs. I'll say this, sometimes you may be outpowered, but never outclassed.👌 Speaking of which, respect to the guy around 3:41 ... good man. I'm quite looking forward to seeing your current MR2 come together. In the meantime, have a great weekend, dude.

[@mattvaughan180]

TheMick26 your always a gent and a great reviewer 👍
