Let's take the RingTracktor along.

[@RobertMitchell]

I’m down for sure

[@loose_unit]

It'll be either broken or crashed by then ... :D

[@Clarkyclarke1]

Take it to California they love a diesel out there!!😂😂👌🏻🤟🏻

[@Hiluxtaco]

Bring them out here to the West Coast! 🤘

[@nunyabinis]

Ship your birthday gift GMC pick up back and have it tow the Yaris from track to track!

[@Hyppehest]

Ship the Truck... just to troll Misha :P

[@RobertMitchell]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@KonaPony]

Wouldn't be a bad idea, it would certainly be easier to mod it in the US, than in the EU. Mod it ship it back. Easy peasy.

[@ArKritz84]

@@KonaPony That wouldn't be a terrible idea. Proper restomod, maybe LS swap, repaint to 100% match his first car...

[@captain_context9991]

@@KonaPony Or they could just park it at any of the professional modding shops around the Ring. Altho they will never have seen a Silverado before in their lives.

[@KonaPony]

@@captain_context9991 Yeah...I don't think so. They wouldn't even know where to start or what to do with a vehicle that they have never seen before. Where as in the US, this would be a no brainer because it is done all the time, not to mention the parts delivery delay. Try and go source a drop spindle kit for a C10 Silverado. It would be the equivalent of sourcing Nissan Skyline GTR34 parts in the US, not that easy.

[@hristohristov8787]

Watching your USA car journey will be such a great content!

[@RobertMitchell]

I think it will be a real blast

[@thomasbryce1716]

Love the idea Rob💕 Look forward to the Vlogs!

[@jassi_ahluwalia]

It would be really cool to Collab with big KZbinrs like the great Tavarish & do some wrenching with him & of course sharing your stories with Ed Bolien from Vinwiki. We wanna hear some epic car stories.

[@texsquirrel213]

Definitely need to do some Vinwiki stories. How you ended up living in Nürburg, etc.

[@TwistedSymmetryUK]

If Laguna Seca is happening I’m flying out for “technical support”

[@RobertMitchell]

By then you’ll probably be 3 mil sub KZbin star headlining the event

*GR Yaris From Robert Mitchell* Stats: 100.000$ Made 11.000 rpm First GR Yaris in the US 2 Minimal gearbox issues A mf roll cage No warranty Hasn't ended on a tree And still on Tier 1

Super great ! This will crank up your channel Robert !

[@Gijzzzzzzzzz]

As long as they come back! 😜

[@niewissen9912]

Nice...need something to watch during my break. Love your content. Ever consider a Canadian tour. Hit area 57 ect

[@jassi_ahluwalia]

Robert, you are doing a great job to ship the GR Yaris to the USA as most US youtubers don't know about the car but they are watching the hype & it would be really cool to make a video on the thoughts of people driving the GR Yaris for the first time in US.

[@davidhunternyc1]

Maybe Robert could buy several GR Yaris's, bring them over to the U.S. under whatever rules he needs to follow, and then secretly sell them to us! 😵

[@rodneyyy95]

Taking some cars and going to some tracks sounds like an awesome idea! I think the GT2RS and the Yaris would be a good choice, but they are kind of my favorite cars of the fleet to be fair. Looking forward to see those videos. Have a nice weekend!

[@GrabberSmurf]

Super excited to see the MR in the US! From LA hopefully you are near!

[@spooler7828]

I am enjoying your channel. No drama just fun with cars. My kind of channel.

[@_Archambaud]

Yaris would get so much attention in US.good to see your content always.will be there as soon as c19 allows travell from UK.cool to see georges channel.all helps the APEX family vibe.

[@jerico140]

Great stuff! Would love to follow the usa journey. Still waiting for my apex gt2rs mr softshell invoice, but i am patient. You must be when you are tier one.

[@Wiggy321]

That's my favorite cocktail. Had the worst old fashion week. Way too much ice and it was vanilla flavored. Best old fashion I've had was at the Shard in London. Cheers to you

[@piersclarkson9712]

On my GR test drive... very happy it had it.. heel and toeing in a new car is always tricky particularly if your pressing on... Once i have the car... June... i can learn the best method for the Yaris!

[@ninerfour]

How cool is going to be seeing that little Yaris on US roads! If snow hasn't kicked in yet, you might wanna check Palmer and Club Motorsports as well.

[@einhander451]

wow.. i came for the cars but stayed for the cocktail trivia. thanks Robert!

[@RobertMitchell]

Enjoy !!! 🥂

[@Mari0o0o]

Looking forward to seeing you state side! Definitely come back to CA!

[@lysln]

I honestly don't mind the rev matching on my Type R. During the daily drive it makes the driving so much more relaxed and when i am on the track i am currently happy not to worry about it and focus more on the line or braking. And later on i still can turn it off like the other assistence.

[@jassi_ahluwalia]

I am impressed Robert that you are taking 2 cars to the USA. Would be cool to see you & the great Tim Burton to do a video again with your cool cars.

[@LexxD3]

COTA is incredible! Definitely come by Texas and maybe look into Motor Sport Ranch in Angelton. I'd be happy to meet you guys too!

[@eichler721]

The 3 tracks I would suggest are Circuit of the America's in Texas. Virginia International Raceway, and Sebring. They are race tracks used alot or are famous so they would be a fun drive for you I think.

[@SuperWayneyb]

Loving the content and a U.S road trip is a winner 👍🤓👍🇬🇧

[@AndyMacinnes1]

Love a good cocktail! Looking very chilled Mr Mitchell!

[@eSysmanSuperYachts]

You know you’re Tier 1 when you have a stalker! Haha. Would love to do that trip. Sounds awesome.

[@Clarkyclarke1]

Can’t wait to see them in America it’ll be weird to see because there always at the Nurburgring. Look forward to it in the near future Robert. 👌🏻🤟🏻

[@RobertMitchell]

It’s going to be crazy for me to have these cars there for the same reason

[@Clarkyclarke1]

@@RobertMitchell going to be seriously cool great idea!👌🏻

[@scalecrawlnl]

Fun Friday talk, thank you! Any plans on fitting some bike holders in the back of the Chevy, you know, for MTB trail videos with the e-bikes, perhaps of your favorite rounds around KL, much appreciated ✌

[@GeorgieSVK]

Enjoy your weekend. Appreciate you time.

[@barrytracey2695]

Go with the Schirmer M4 Vln or xx31.2 that would be epic .nothing like that in the states

[@fsjgw]

Anything that gets people interested and excited about cars is good for the hobby/sport/industry! Rev matching, automatics, so what. Get individuals interested first, after they're interested in the hobby, hey have you ever tried driving a manual? you might like it, ever driven a car without all the electronic aids? Not directed at you Robert, you're a great ambassador for the car culture (of course along with Mischa and everyone at Apex).

[@hamzasherazi9334]

Totally second you on some of the modcons the newer cars have these days. I will certainly use and love the use of auto rev match. One less thing to worry about imo. The car can do it better then me anyway. About the US trip, it's a big yes from me. Interested to know who will accompany you for the whole trip to drive the second car. Loving the concept of it all. Good luck with the planning.

[@webcrawler9782]

real men do not simply buy a car, they invent their own mobility device and call it car

[@RobertMitchell]

🤣🤣🤣

[@ronbarker6075]

That was deep man.

[@falcowerks1044]

You need to bring your fleet to Road America. You can’t beat America’s National Park of Speed 🏎🏎🏎 As a local, I might be biased, but it is clearly the superior American circuit ;)

[@BrendanEvan]

I’d rent the hell out of your GR Yaris if it comes to the western United States. COTA, Laguna Seca, Apex Motorclub here in Arizona, etc

[@dejangrgur9298]

Great choice of cars for the US trip, I look forward to some great content. Two man teams are a must in the cars; Robert and Tom in one, and the other one has to be Misha and George no matter what. And taking some US back roads along with the car meets and the tracks. I have the Route 66 on my bucket list so maybe something along those lines at least partially, Americana meets Ring tools. While I am on a roll here, maybe some type of an hour long or a 90 minute feature film after you are done to tie the entire trip into one story with segments that don't make it into the daily vlog type of videos, the media team is definitely up to the task for sure.

[@loose_unit]

I really don't mind these auto-rev-matching systems in general ... I just want a way to disable it permanently, I prefer to do the rev matching myself!

[@Blasterxp]

When intense trackdriving, focussed on the heat of the road, or other drivers... Or when i drive to work/shop : it could be nice.

[@loose_unit]

@@Blasterxp I have done it for so long now I just do it automatically

[@SubparExperts]

There is a go-karting track at COTA so a tier one channel race would be fun!!!

[@RobertMitchell]

That sounds pretty cool!!

[@rkm285]

Come on down to Laguna Seca! Would love to see you and whatever cars you bring. 🏁

[@talalesmail]

So exciting!

[@jacksonzhong9298]

Robert, I am not sure about GR Yaris trans, but group n or semi-solid trans and motor mount helps tight down transmission movement under high G when cornering it give you more confidence in shifting especially helpful when there is a weight transition left-right on corner exit upshift

[@cooperlong5413]

I'd recommend hitting VIR...Carolina Motorsports Park and Atlanta Motorsports Park (in addition to Road ATL) on the way down.

[@kenbode8806]

Love my old fashions , been drinking them for the last two night using 1792 Small batch Bourbon Whiskey and Proof old fashion cocktail syrup

[@davidbalcar1226]

I am up in the Boston area. Some great tracks here. Lime Rock Park / Club Motorsports would be some great ways to let the GT2RS MR stretch it's legs!

[@dmfd123]

I highly recommend Spring Mountain Motorsports Resort in Pahrump, NV outside Vegas. Also VIR in Alton, VA. Keep up the great vids!

[@arthurlegaspi2770]

I visited the Buffalo Trace distillery in Kentucky (near Frankfort?) before, unfortunately had only carry on luggage and couldn't bring a full bottle home, only a small sampler.

[@briansteele2723]

I’m not from the US but would love to aee you guys on Matt Farah’s roads above Malibu (smoking tyre) or taking a tour with Magnus Walker out in the hills. Watching their videos during lockdown made me buy an old Porsche.

[@RobertMitchell]

That could for sure be fun !!!!

[@justinwilliams9291]

So excited for the apex us tour

[@JRKungFuSalsa]

Welcome back to the USA in advance. I would recommend a visit to VIR. A lot of testing is performed there. It would be great to see how well the Yaris and MR perform in comparison to other cars. Bowing

[@mattaria]

The America trip sounds really cool.

[@TrakCar]

Homestead PBIR Sebring Daytona Roebling road Road Atlanta VIR Barber Road America Then we’ll do the Rest of the US and Canadian tracks

[@stevenkutschat]

Road Atlanta is a pretty cool track. My dad and I went to Tons of races t here in the 90's and 00's but Barber motorsports park is an amazing complex. I've only been twice but I absolutely loved it both times.

[@cliftonfrey1174]

Watkins Glen in New York State and Lime Rock park in Connecticut are good race tracks in the north east and kind a near me.

[@sheldonnelson1887]

On your way down to Florida, make sure you stop at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama - possibly one of the most beautiful, well maintained tracks in the the US! Has some super fun elevation changes and a nice reverse corkscrew....the Motorcycle Museum attached to the track is off the charts too.

[@RobertMitchell]

I think I’m gonna need a whole year hahaha

[@viennalongboards]

High plains raceway in Colorado!!!! amazing hidden track!

[@RobertMitchell]

Forgot about that. Would be perfect

[@pawak2001]

Make sure you drive through Tail of the Dragon. Also some of the local roads are amazing, would definitely come out for the drive.

[@falcon666555]

I cannot wait to see the lineup. Hopefully corresponds with a school holiday or I may have to play a bit of hooky.

[@ciscovip1]

Since in Baltimore you need to do summitpoint raceway that is 1 1/2hr from Baltimore. Then you need to to VIR in Virginia. All on your way to Florida

[@RobertMitchell]

Good info!!!!

[@Rickie-37]

omg yessss I dream of driving a gt2rsmr one day but even seeing it in real life would be jaw dropping amazing! I'm saving up and hoping to come to Germany in a few years and check out apex! But it'd be sweet to get a teaser here in North America! I'm actually from Vancouver but if you're not coming up to the PNW, I'll definitely drive down to cali assuming borders are open by then!

[@TheTechnoaddict]

Auto revmatching is not a bad function! Especially with the pedal layout in lots of new hot hatches makin heel toe almost impossible.

[@seanreynolds3535]

Gt2rsmr and 620r of course and come hang with me and Nady.

[@arkadiuszwasilewski1942]

Cool plans about trip in the USA. Make collaboration with DDE and teach those gays how really drive on track. Good luck.

[@RaheelZahir]

Robert at Cota with the 2rs MR and Yaris count me in!!!!!!! I only 3 hours away can’t wait

[@indibisible]

Looking forward to the road trip always considered if it would make more sense to do that in reverse USA to Nurburgring and do a trip to the ring, spa, and mini euro trip vs renting a car at airport to get to the ring and rent a car at the ring then driving around in a crappy airport rental in Europe vs shipping your car there and driving everywhere. Please document process, cost, logistics and how difficult and cost effective such a journey would be and also the coordination of shipping car and meeting it at the port etc...

[@NicholasZak]

Robert, Love the Idea and please bring some Alpaca's along as well. I DM'd you with some ideas regarding Tracks and Organizations instruct with....to get you in and smooooooth sailing. Thank you

[@Wiggy321]

US trip...that would be awesome. COTA is a hell yes. That's my neck of the woods. It would be cool if the Yaris made it to TX2K. You could even run the MR at Grid Life. I think it's the same weekend or very close. Looking forward to the schedule.

[@kylefulkerson3360]

When you’re here in the US you should definitely come to the San Clemente Cars and Coffee! It’s every Saturday and there’s a huge aray of super cars, muscle cars, Euro cars, and JDM!

[@tocsa120ls]

Here's a left-field suggestion since you said you like rye. Try the Finnish (yeah) KYRÖ whisky. I drink it neat it is so good.

[@kreiseltower]

My i30N has auto rev-matching and I love it 😍

[@boblast5582]

you should come to Pacific Raceways in Washington and/or Oregon Raceway Park in Oregon (obviously). And while you're here stop by the Ridge Motorsport Park.

[@burkeredh]

Hi Robert, Try a twist of orange peel in your old fashioned, much less bitter to the taste !! Loving the content, keep up the great work.

[@davidhunternyc1]

The white part of rind (albedo) is what causes bitterness. The top peel isn't bitter at all. There's quite a bit of oil in a lemon peel.

[@andrewbond7949]

As quoted by Car and Driver magazine I would recommend Virginia International Raceway’s 4.1-mile Grand Course has proved itself the ultimate test of modern machinery, a North American Nürburgring Nordschleife.

[@superdrummer3578]

One big benefit of rev-matching is that it can warn warn you if you are about to do a money shift

[@znewton]

Would be awesome to see you out here in CA, bro! I'm still trying to make my way to Germany but we're stuck here until the US decides to open up to the EU. That's gonna be a trip for you to bring the cars out here after being gone so long. Such a cool concept for your audience though. Keep up the great work on the (Tier 1) channel ;) LOL

[@michaelluttmer2486]

Please please please come up to the Pacific Northwest, its a beautiful drive + wine country + awesome mountain roads, and awesome culture. But most importantly, Portland International Raceway, the Ridge MOtorsports Park, and Pacific Raceways!

Evening Robert I’d say the American audience that do get to see or passenger sit in the Yaris gr. Will try and figure a way to get them into American even solely as a track car only.

[@teromarjamaki]

Would love to watch videos of picking the cars up from the harbor, then navigating your way out of the city etc. You know, proper road trip- stuff! I just spent 50 minutes of my life watching someone walk around in Karlsruhe, so a 10-15 minutes video of the local scenery and highway- culture per week would be very interesting! 😁 I think you should drive the route66 and make stops on all the important places. 👍🏽

[@wallstreetoneil]

Let's go to VIR with the Yaris and we'll go straight up the esses - no walls at VIR so the cars should be safe. Watkins is my favourite track on the East Coast but it's not winter approved - if you haven't driven it, absolutely try and make it happen.

[@ian7675]

I thought that was a bottle of Cinzano for a minute...anyway, massively excited for a US tour.

[@ebigford34]

Come to Nor-cal. Sears point, Laguna Seca and thunderhill. I would drive to visit! :-)

[@texsquirrel213]

Hope to see you at COTA!

[@joaoluistavares6046]

I didn't expect that to happen here. It's not a surprise since it has been happening lately on Facebook. They do exactly the same you said. This probably is because they are very smart and nowadays there is a lot of free code on the internet, as well as tutorials teaching different things in different programming languages. In my opinion, they spent their time developing better and better algorithms so they can always keep breaking through the servers. Or it may be more simple and they may use a VPN to mask themselves as being in different countries, so they can repeat the process as many times as they want. But this is more speculating. The best is to always report. Have a great time there with the GT2 RS MR and the Yaris GR.

[@Richard_Turner]

1st one.. was just thinking about the manual window thing as you said it haha.. we have technology to improve things its up to you if you want to use it 2nd one, shipping is what I so for my job and work for for line that goes across so let me know what and when and can try get you a deal sorted we go into Balitimore and few other ports and can go from Germany or even Antwerp if easier👍

[@joeleonard9965]

I'd love to see you stop at Mid Ohio but that seems out of the way and a bit more like a GR Yaris track. Side Note: an Old Fashioned was the first drink I ordered when I went out on my 21st.

[@SteveHollimon]

Make sure you put VIR on the list of tracks to go too. I would really like to meet you, the team and to see the cars in action.

[@paulh4571]

This! Do it during Hyperfest at VIR, feel like it would be the perfect match.

[@montevallomustang]

If you bring the cars to the US check out barber motorsports track in alabama, its one of the nicest tracks in the country, but mainly its close to me and I really want to drive a yaris gr

[@adriangale]

If you’re an Old Fashioned man you definitely need to come to Wisconsin and Road America. Old Fashioned is the state drink here. 😊 I’d love to ride in/drive the GR Yaris.

[@crxman33]

Would definitely purchase some laps at COTA or at least come hang out. I dig the idea that yall would come to my home track after I travelled to the ring, full circle.

[@MJarthur95]

Americans are going to go mental if they see a GR Yaris & GT2 RS MR cruising around, great idea! PS love the cocktails 🍹

[@trapbeatproducer]

erm.. I might not be done with the GR Yaris by next year. Rented it last weekend, rented it again today, I've booked it for Sunday (11.4.2021) as well haha! by the time I keep renting this I should have just bought one, but its insane man! especially with the Manthey/Raeder setup. its fast, its so light it scares me, and its addictive! I'm so glad you bought it (for me) 😍 lol

[@RobertMitchell]

I’m happy to of been able to help you out and I will buy any car you need

[@rmk1283]

I'd be down to meet up at a track or location in the southeast! Maybe a drive in the NC or TN mountains also. IE Blue Ridge Parkway or Tail of the Dragon on the way to Road Atlanta.. just a thought Robert.

[@martygt3357]

My preference for auto nannies is no; traction control, stability control, rev match, active suspension or aero launch control, sequential gearbox, paddles, automatics. ABS maybe to save money on tires. The fun is in the learning and sometimes making a mistake and the guy behind you can pass. Driver skill and ability. Use the force Luke.

[@charlesmartin6967]

The f80 M3 would be a good addition too. It's setup is unique and not common in US.

[@RobertMitchell]

That’s actually a really good point

[@davidsmall7676]

Robert, any thoughts on trying to visit Lyme Rock in New England? I think the trip to the US sounds spectacular! Can’t wait

[@davidhunternyc1]

Robert, I live in NYC. I am tired of taking the subway everywhere. It's great for reading books but I miss driving cars so much! The GR Yaris is my favorite car in the world right now (well, next to a Porsche by Singer☺️).Maybe the GR Yaris could be part of a multi-day driving school? I would be happy to take the GR Yaris to an IN-N-OUT drive thru. I've been sheltering in place for a year but I need to get out of the city. Also, I'm sure if you came to the U.S. you would have dozens of people at each location. The logistics of dealing with everyone would take some planning. Tier1, baby!

[@alexanderpeter219]

I think eventually shmee will go back again after the tour that he is on now, maybe you guys could meet up and drive together here in the US again if he goes back again too

[@andrelakay4750]

Hi Robert. Good video. You can put my name down for a keyring,when you start producing it.

[@TheGamer-ux2lr]

I'd suggest Virginia International Raceway and Barber Motorsports Park as you head south. The coastal route to Florida is boring. Stay to the west and travel through the mountains. It's beautiful and those two tracks are unique.
