MIND THE KERB: 2024 Nurburgring First Laps in the ULTIMATE Supra!

The first weekend of Nürburgring 2024 is a busy weekend for us locals! Over at 'a large nuburgring rental company' I had to get busy with checking cars, driving laps, and trying not to enjoy myself too much! Here I'm driving the Toyota Supra SZR on the Nurburgring, that I helped Emerson and R4R develop.
Supra mod list:
Ohlins TTX dampers
Engauge Inc. camber and toe arms
Toyota Motorsports control arms front and rear
Endless brakepads (MA45B and ME22)
Prosport 18x10 wheels
265 Toyo R888s
Speed Engineering seat consoles
Schroth Harnesses
Recaro Seats
Designs by me, executed by Blackfish

I remember watching him drift his E36 outside the Ring. Such a fun video

[@jensweier7611]

That's true

i actually also thought about this. Still remember the good old times when i watched the Facebook livestreams from the carpark.

it was really nice to see such smooth driving, very fast. it is, much much better than another youtuber with more than 1 million subscribers. You have a new subscriber.

If you think that "I'm driving the Toyota Supra SZR on the Nurburgring, that I helped Emerson and R4R develop" is basically the same as driving random people's random cars every day you're either very delusional, or you just have some beef against Misha and are blinded by emotions.

[@anashedpotato]

​@bencze465 or it's delusional to not see the difference in the smooth and controlled inputs here vs the other.

[@colindempsey4157]

Such a good lap, all your inputs are so smooth, carrying so much speed. You've got a new subscriber.

[@BTGDale]

Welcome aboard!

[@kayhesse]

Awesome lap, awesome setup 👌 You can definitely see your driving style suits this cars balance perfectly. On the fine line of grip through the corner not over or undershooting which makes it smooth but fast 💪💪 more of these please 😛

[@BTGDale]

Thanks! 👍

[@BoredEngineer]

A true thank you to the work put by the involved in spec'ing/building/setting up the car. Driven it last weekend, going back again the next weekend TF days for a few times in a row. Wonderfully setup. First, so much more confidence coming from the car as a whole (perhaps a lot on the Ohlins TTXs), compared to the 125i. You can take the right kurbs at Wiperman without a single concern for instance. Second, balance as always, that's why I come to the particular rental company. Orgasmic when you are having 4 wheel slides on the limit. Extremely balanced, rotates so easily on demand, it is on point. Third, the grip levels are absurd, wow. This is a freaking fast car, running sub8s on the middle of TF traffic. A lot to get used to the lateral accelerations on the fast sections like PflanzgartenStefan-Bellof-S. Hard to imagine much faster cars on curves w/o aero. Forth, I typically do ESP off but started on Sport on Marc's advice. It is inherently a low-polar-moment of inertia, agile, neutral-balanced, very fast car, so there is no magic: you really have to be thoughtful on your inputs. With the new Fuchsröhre easy to get oversteer on the top left hand. Overall, it gets you sweating and a beautiful way to enjoy the NBR with some good challenge. Btw, we've met ~10 yrs ago where you were certain I was messing up with the Swift's ABS's, which I was not, haha (because of what you saw on the approaches to the Karrousel). I'm putting in another 300-400 rental laps this season on weekends now targeting RWDs, the Supra asks for a premium I didn't want to spend, but hard to say no after driving it. It's whats gonna keep me loyal there at least a few more rentals. Tks again, cheers!

You and me both!

[@michaeldebleser3253]

Really nice lap and an even nicer job on the car. I absolutely love the diffwind. 😍 You will be seeing me later. I really loved the swifts before, I don’t think I want the give the mini’s a chance after watching this vid. And to all who wants to compare the different ringchannels, watch what you want to watch. And I love watching Dale and others but he doesn’t make videos just to make videos. I absolutely adore his love for the ring. Greetings and a lot of fun for everyone

[@CrrazyAl]

Great lap. Liked the explanation of the change to the exit of foxhole. Went back and watched it again and immediately spotted what you were talking about

[@BTGDale]

Brilliant! Yes, it's gonna be a tough one for the racers this weekend.

Dale... as in Dale from Toyota Owners Club days when you had the Yaris? I was Fizz on there with the old blue MR2 turbo back in the day if you remember. :) Bloody great lap to watch there mate thank you. That thing really does hook up very well and looks like the setup is almost perfect.

[@BTGDale]

No way! Yes, that's me. 🫡

[@fizzbitt]

@BTGDale ha... that is insane mate. Chuffed to see how you been getting on! If I ever pay another visit to the ring I will give you a shout.

Nice to see some more Automotive stuff Dale, Fair play on not whoring yourself out and driving(badly) everyone elses car who wants a bit of KZbin fame like some other Ring youtbers do.

[@peterbonnez]

Friend Harry Barton is racing one of these. He's done Sebring and Valencia so far this year.

[@MrLeccyt]

That was hauling! Any manuals? Great lap. Enjoyed that

[@BTGDale]

No sticks, customers rev them to the moon, smoke the clutches, or smash the syncros. Paddle shifts only now... it's a shame, but it's the right business decision.

[@stefanescurichard773]

Hi Dale! Would you make a video about bad experiences driving other people’s cars? (Btw, awesome video, thanks!)

[@BTGDale]

Good idea! But no way... way too negative energy. I've seen a few shitboxes already this year, and have some of them on tape, but that ain't my vibe.

[@Bignumtt]

Nice lap, maybe this is the year my BTG Supra lap record falls looking at all these modded new Supras coming through.

[@BTGDale]

We shall see! But yours is a proper monster, these things are just teeny 4-bangers with 260hp 😅

[@bartterstege6488]

great lap! inputs are so smooth. The car looks a bit oversteery?

[@BTGDale]

Yeah, a little front-endy. It's a square setup now where it used be heavily staggered to the rear

[@ke-performance4873]

Nice Setup and lap mate. CU soon

[@maltesowociasteczkowy582]

What oil do you use for the 2.0 supra? 😊

[@be4tb0x]

One serious question: How du make the r888r work on such a heavy car? In my experience they are quite good on a car with less than 1300 kg but relatively rubbish on a "heavy" car like the supra or my M346. I had a really good relationship with the good old r888 which was not good for most drivers and tire pressures, but never really liked the r888r

[@B__L]

@btgdale Do you think the TTX are a bit overkill for a rental or do you think the quality of the part is worth it in the long run given the hard life of a rental?

[@BTGDale]

On any other circuit, I'd think it's overkill. But with these kerbs, and the servicing we have to do... cheap shocks die fast. Bottom-end named brands (like those that rhyme with Hey Bubble Dew) tend to pop A LOT on our cars, and our service times with Ohlins are very fast, and they pop less.

[@B__L]

@BTGDale Fair enough! Interesting to hear your comments about that brand. I'd always assumed with their popularity and name that they would be of a higher quality especially given the price tag.

268ps and 1400kg - wasn't going for a laptime, that was literally an installation lap for a freshly-built car

[@mrmando69]

@BTGDale oh wow 268ps, when you said 2L, I was expecting fewer ponies tbh. I did think she was pulling well. Thanks for replying. All the best.

[@KevBoy3D]

This feels legit like a GT4 people can now just drive on touristenfahrten. 🤯

[@BTGDale]

YEP! And it''s got a better weight balance, and lots less power, so it's even easier to drive

Oh man why no 3.0 supras in europe it seems 😬
