Learning How to Drive Again: SPICY Renault Megane R.S. // Nürburgring

[@glidertastic5778]

That curb will cause a lot of mess. It already did some apparently...

[@Plonoe]

Ah Renault Sport. I Miss you. The Megane 4 RS. One of the best car ever made. What a beast on track.

Caged my Saxo VTS this winter, not cause i need to, just cause i know i'm gonna yeet myself in some trees one days

[@darkertheshadow]

I think most of the negative comments on French hot hatch uploads are from people that have never owned one. I had a phase 2 172 Cup and for all of its flaws it was an incredible little capable car

[@Qyy0]

honestly there are a few repeat owners and hes one of my favs hes so calm and chill glad he was ur first real lap this season and such a w u got to feel his car in dry conditions so quickly so u can remember how it felt on the wet line

Was a great car to start with the 2024 onboards. (Apart from the ev6 gt) hopefully we can get a lot more nice ones.

[@yoghurrt1]

It's wierd not to hear "Welcome to Apex, welcome to Nurburgring". I understand what happened and why, without any negativity in this sentence. It just reminds you that time flies, things changing and someting that's current today, could be obsolete tomorrow. Yes these changes are hopefully for better, but still.

[@yoghurrt1]

@@krully1651 Misha left Apex where he was employee/business partner for more then 7 years. FUCK, it has been 7 years. But to be honest it's hard to TL;DR as kinda a lot happened in that time.

[@UnknownUserDE]

[@jadoei13]

​@@UnknownUserDE There is some content on Roberts channel where he talks about Apex growing beyond what he wanted. It became too much of a business and not enough a hobby place to hang out with nice people. He then talks about downscaling and only keeping the hotel around. I guess that's what happened, but more than that I also don't know. Meanwhile Mischa has started his own business with a few others (once he gets his tax number anyway xD).

[@bobbymercer9789]

Just came back from the ring and I can honestly say the Megane rs mk3 and 4 are the ultimate track car for real fun

[@forwox]

Very well setup car, fast and calm in corners, amazingly capable. Great driving and people. It's a shame that Renault went ditching such a well engineered and timely perfected platform as Renault Megane and it's RS versions. Rebirth of Renault 5 is really nice, but surely many people will miss Megane and Renault Sport overall as they pronounced ending of development and production. Hopefully the sporty and spiritful hatchbacks will transform to not less aquirable Renault Alpines as it was under Renault badge. New KIA's in this class are really nice, they are doing great job, GOLF's are not, anymore.

[@ilhntrhn2207]

oil temps were pretty perfect, he might need a need watercooler. Apart from that, impressive drive and impressive car!

[@vMaxHeadroom]

Fantastic drive and what a car!!!! I have the Megane 4RS 280 Cup but I love the mods on this one, especially the front bonnet from the Trophy R...Sad that these are the last RS's so I will not be letting mine go ever,...

[@spurlock2679]

I'm interested to see how this new year brings in some intriguing cars, and heres hopeing some more fantastic laps!

[@MrToonfish]

I drove a Subaru Impreza STi with gold wheels on it, like almost every scooby... I changed the brake pads for CL ones (Carbone Lorraine), in short I killed the painted gold wheels. The dust going out from these brake pads is often red hot, the particles are so hot they melt the varnish of the wheels and are then part of the wheels, so you can't wash your wheels anymore. It was the first and last time I put some Carbone Lorraine brake pads on any of my cars.

[@gmbs81]

Misha, have you ever had a situation where you were driving a spectator's car and after a few kilometers you said "fuck it, I'm getting out, I'm not driving that shit"?

[@joaocesar751]

I think the only time he did it was with a stock lamborghini huracan STO 😂😂😂 go watch the video

Great lap and great handling car but I suspect that the ECU Remap Dennis got on his car is rubbish... I would say that's stock acceleration or worst... He needs to get another remap done with someone who knows what they are doing... But that's the only thing that is not good about the car...The rest is excellent!

[@LARGE_COKE]

These mods are very similar to my RS280, Unfortunatley I've never had the time to get it out to the ring from the UK. But looks like it would be worth the trip, mostly the same mods but I have the valved k-tec exhaust the race one was far too loud when I heard it for daily driving. Inside the car you can't tell as it's very well insulated but outside that thing screams close to the noise limit I'd assume.

[@ragweedmakesmesneeze]

I realize that as a relative newcomer to this channel, I've got a very limited understanding of the dynamics of the Ring and various business attached to this track. However, the last handful of videos Misha drops a comment here or there and it's just confusing. I mean, it doesn't ultimately matter THAT much to me, but I often feel like I'm coming into the conversation midway. Reading the comment section has helped my understanding some of these questions of new rules and regulations. Basically, there are companies who will taxi you around the Ring for a price? And these companies are upset because Misha, being a KZbin celebrity/driver, is taking business away from them? (maybe they should start their own KZbin channel) And the Ring company/organization wants the passenger to pay for the lap, why?

[@konsultator]

...nothing on the 4 steering wheels system ? Was curious to know what Misha thought of it. Im'a big fan of this system on road, but on track it can be very strange with "artificial feeling" ...

I don't understand the new rule that says the owner needs to buy his own ticket for the lap but anyway. I feel like every new rule to the nurburgring will decrease the excitement of people with time i don't think it's a good idea to modify too often things that already work well

It's kind of ironic that they don't want people paying you to take them on laps, which they never did. Quite the opposite in fact, you'd always pay for the lap. Yet now they want the car owner to pay for the lap. So In a very round about way your are getting paid ( in free laps ) does anyone else see the irony here? I understand you buy the annual pass. And they want the vehicle owners to buy laps too. Which they likely were anyways. Anything they can do to get some more money I guess.

[@BmwM140iClubsport]

I think they need to pay misha then. For attracting so much people at the ring. It’s a rediculious reason. The people come with there own car, so they woudn’t buy a taxi lap anyway, why are they complaining then? And people who come and don’t want to track there own car would rent a car or buy a taxi lap. In both ways misha isn’t making money, so why complain about something that doesn’t exist? Only reason i can think of is they don’t grant it. It has nothing to do with he is using is own card. Now people are paying for his own lap. So the taxi company still makes no money what changed for then? Nothing!! 😂

[@kazlier3]

What do u think i20n vs Mégane rs , which one handles better?

I'm not misha but I like that it's lifely at low speeds and more stable at high speeds. The Megane is more a Hyundai I20N until 100 and above its more like a Type r FK8.
