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...

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

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.

[@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).

We all can see how its rear moves in a unique way. this is the origin of the Renault technology... Of course, we have the one of the best driver for the german ring...

[@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.

[@xykojen]

So happy to see this get back out there in dry conditions and no yellow flags

[@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

[@j7...]

Upvote, so Misha Sees it! Would be interesting to know. But i guess with His experience you can Filter quite good beforehand

[@NytrogenLegend]

THIS car with THIS driver is the absolute perfect combo ;)

[@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.

[@FreestylerAlbert]

Yoko AD09!! great tires actuallyl!

[@hardtobearit]

The new curbs were not thought out very well. But i guess thats the worst way to inforce a slower speed there cause you cant use the curb to carry speed.

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!

@@HughtschOk, that reason again... never ending story :D But thx for clarifying

[@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!! 😂

[@fishkall9000]

[@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?

[@UCh5Y7Xd0i3UUWRpAjFs]

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.

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.
