Nurburgring Nordschleife Radical SR8 lap record

[@DonLee1980]

this is still by far the most impressive car/lap ever. All the record laps that beat this, were factory support on the most fresh of hard core track tires. This guy came in and did his lap on the same tires he drove to the track and back.

[@shekk0r]

Unlikely; this car is not road legal. Still very impressive driving and car control...those Radicals are adrenalin machines.

[@nycyabber7103]

I love your channel Misha. I've watched a lot of laps around that place, in a lot of different vehicles, , but that was by God impressive. I love a Radical, and will have one some day.

[@joergmaass]

Actually, he could have been even faster because he made a few small mistakes. Impressive driving nonetheless, though, chapeau!

[@CitizenShane]

This was fast! To think the 919 goes 100km faster on the straights and beat this by a minute! Incredible.

[@chrisward925]

Agree... That was one fast lap but also shows how mind bendingly fast that 919 lap is! Two very different cars but two very skilled drivers.

A minute and a half on the Nordschleife is the age of the universe.

[@Mark72121]

As a former racing driver all l can say is exceptional driving, some huge over steer moments that were caught with so much talent, one massive huge moment l thought that was it but he gathered it up together. l am amazed at how stable the car was even though it was on the limit. Been thinking about buying a Radical for some time, this has totally convinced me

Toilet paper at 4:59 please lol. The tyres and over steer were spot on with headphones, really feeling it break away. Mental!

[@StroopwafeI]

I remember this car from the game Project Gotham Racing 3. Amazing control in an amazing machine. I was so impressed with how the tires were barely squealing throughout the lap whilst being driving almost tot the edge. Chapeau to the driver!!!!!

[@PieterVerlinde]

Have to say the car is on slicks and slicks shouldn't be squealing ;-)

[@droceretik]

Tyres

[@ThePaulv12]

What a ride! I thoroughly enjoyed that. I loved how the tyres cooled a bit on the long straights then caused a little understeer on initial turn in on corners. It was mesmerizing this vid actually. Cheers for posting.

[@Simlife101]

2:20 probably the hardest place too get a good exit Imo Iracing got this track so right. All the bumps are where i expect them to be. Great lap

[@gregwarner3753]

Looks like me driving to work on a 10 mile dirt road driving an old Volvo 544. I was going a LOT slower but it felt as fast. It was even more fun on packed snow. This astounding time was done with a relatively small engine and not without mistakes. Great drive and great video. Thanks

[@forandonbehalfof4753]

pv544's still run in some historic rallies. I used to run a "slightly modified" (hoho) '60s LandRover that I could chase Mercedes down the autobahn at 130+mph but also cross ploughed fields at over 70mph. Old fart/petrolhead - I blame the parents...

[@gregwarner3753]

@@forandonbehalfof4753 my favorite dirt road car was a '94 Buick Roadmaster Wagon. The thing would float over the bumps and potholes, slide the corners and, with the LS-1 stock V-8 rush down the straights. Not very precise but a lot of fun. Eventually the frame rotted out. I miss that car.

[@boastyy]

OMG! The cornering speed on that car is unbelievable , nice driving mate, great time.
