[@imo098765]

10:00 passengers face, mine was the same

[@kiksu_]

Yeah no exhaust popping "at all" 😂

[@jhx55]

The look on the passengers face at 10:02 😂

[@eliveltonbecker]

poor guy 🤣

[@DennisfromMunich]

Yeah the wet line is really bonkers in certain places and poor guy’s first lap like this. Good bombastic side eye stuff 😂

[@stoerenungeheuer543]

4:42 chrk chrk chrk chrk - his looks at the speedo after this are gold ^^

[@ArKritz84]

I bet someone's balls tightened a little bit @8:05 too.

[@xXxH8TERxXx]

His face at Bergwerk and H8 😳😂 Quick lap despite the conditions 😎💪🏻

[@microfx]

and the Tunnelpart haha and have you seen the Linkskurve - priceless!! But I liked his face best at T6

[@JFXRD]

“Very modest” that sounds like popcorn in the microwave when there’s 30 seconds left

[@lol291090]

@mgcharoudin I had no clue I was overtaken by the goat. Haha. The white Fiesta that joined the track right in front of you was me. :D

[@belhedizied8937]

Rumor has it misha had troubles walking straight after driving in wet nurburgring with a fwd hot-hatch due to the size of his gigantic balls..

[@SHIZURAKU]

🤣🤣🤣

[@dielaughing73]

I thought you were going in a different direction with that metaphor

[@PheliciaBG]

The fwd makes it the "easy" thing here actually..

[@s.argirov]

This looks very stressful lap to be a passenger of.

[@rickjames6867]

I think we all would rather be the one driving, for sure. 💙✌️😊

[@tmeisenmann3285]

M-N, M performance-N performance, M Town-N village. Hyundai Motor is copying the bmw M like a fake Chinese car in an insignificant way, using Albert Biermann as a shield.🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅

[@giorgosapo4508]

This build is so sweet! Love the whistles and we gotta see it on dry tarmac too 😁

[@subliminalvibes]

"Slow feet, fast hands..." is some great advice from Misha that he's been saying for years. It's a good voice to hear in back of your head when I drive 'spiritedly' in the wet.

[@Mantorix]

Very nice video, and thanks for the tip for the PS5 tires in the wet. My next car will be delivered on those tires. Now i don't have to think about swapping them immediately.

[@chasestrode4691]

Fantastic driving, love your videos. One thing that I think would be fun would be if you and your passengers wore heart rate monitors. I think it would be cool to see how your heart rates spike or drop at certain times where you may focus more on the track or your passengers become concerned with your speed!

[@rc_racing1743]

he drives at 3,5°C and rain faster than me in dry.

[@microfx]

drive faster maybe? or buy a new car

[@Michael_Ruiter]

I love seeing all the Mk7s on this channel. I just got a manual 2015 two months ago and gives me confidence in how capable these cars are. Also I want that Alcantara wheel that this guy has in the video

[@JC_46]

Is the alacantara wheel specific to the Clubsport? I’ve been looking at Clubsports, considering px’ing my R32 for one but then I remember how terrible they sound in comparison 😂

[@GTI.OWNERSCLUB]

Wow Misha great lap 👍🚀❤️

[@jimocon3534]

Misha is a phenomenal driver, how he can get in a strange car and drive like that in the wet is so skillful 👏

[@rickjames6867]

Driving that track, rain or shine, is a dream of mine. 💙

[@kristijancoric3604]

That was outstanding😊

[@samuelgomez3311]

Passenger was doing too much effort in this lap. He's sweaty 😂😂

[@stringyGG]

You can tell this guy loves his car haha, nervous with every slip and slide.

[@pepepepepepepepp]

Great to see some cars over from wales

[@stjepanjina]

Gti 7 my dream car!

[@oszb]

Amazing lap, wouldn't have guessed it possible to go that quick in the wet. I'm stressed out watching in my room, can't imagine the passengers heart-rate.

[@norym90]

Could you do some lap with Markus of the Hyundai taxi? 😁 he drove me for the first time 2 summers back over the ring. Great car and value for the ride! Second time I came over with friends but received an call in the morning, the two Hyundais had 🤞🏻technical problems before we arrived. When we arrived i saw them under the cloth on the truck coming off the track😅

[@psewgobind]

No messing with those Taxi driver who also track their cab. No one has that much road time on their track car.

[@SpaceMissile]

love modded GTIs

[@TinyMiniStealth]

It is too much pops and bangs actually. But has a good exhaust note

[@davidsmall7676]

What a great car and lap! Hopefully a dry lap can be in the future?!?! Thanks to both of you for sharing the ride.

[@volvo09]

Besides the fake exhaust pops I love it. Would have been an awesome dry lap!

[@ma-scalia8629]

Why do you say fake?

[@SmkWaSaBi]

​​@@ma-scalia8629 because they are... caused voluntarily by the ecu mapper. even just for 10 minutes it's unbearable... so artificial that it would even be better if they were emitted by the speakers and could be deactivated. all this to impress passers-by who don't know the difference between real and fake...

[@RoelFloor]

pops sounds exactly the same. Every single time.

[@RS3NDIT]

@@ma-scalia8629 they're fake because they're tuned in rather than naturally happening. my one biggest complaint about my stage 2 tune from unitronic is the pops are freaking insane, and they have NO stage 2 file without "pops and bangs" and no option to have stock "pops and bangs" either. They're fun sometimes but for the most part they're just embarrassing when I'm just putting around town and I feel like they're probably doing a number on my exhaust valve when it's closed lol

[@ma-scalia8629]

@@RS3NDIT ah okay, my 335i is stock but still has nice burbles in sport+, nothing in comfort which is nice for those times where you don’t want attention. And even though your pops and bangs are the result of the tune, aren’t they ‘real’ if there’s no option to not have them?

[@Catfishplays]

That was nice 80 mph in the corners 👍🏼

[@microfx]

just realized it's MPH?? Who is still using imperial measurements... we all know those come from the dark side

[@ArKritz84]

Why yes, that exhaust note WAS quite tastef- RATATATTATA55@5@5@!

[@martinchapman2168]

Good video

[@belutogames4523]

noice mate

[@718Insomniac]

Yeah my back is tense after watching this.

[@rootsmanuva82]

Tuned GTI's make so much power when its cold and wet outside, making it a real challenge to put the power down. I swear my GTI gains 30 hp in weather like this (and its not because of wheelspin that I think this... it "hits" so much harder and for longer when you boot it).

[@bencole4272]

Sounds like you think the best first mod for a GTi is better intake cooling?

[@Omnifarious9]

Lmao this guys fear is clearly visible, props to him for keeping it together lol.

[@Papito_ZA]

5:09 😅

[@micheltebraake7915]

Mooi.

[@celtic_cowman]

haha im looking forward to see the red one in action after seeing this as i know the guy in person lol

[@brox4263]

I hope 1 day i travel to Germany just for laps like these

[@SHIZURAKU]

Me too man, me too... but until then, simracing it is

[@Carlst17]

Anyone know what turbo it's running? I'm assuming is38 instead of the original Is20?

[@themiskrinos5874]

Pretty wet conditions

[@BoondyIsOn]

I hope you do get a chance to redo this again in the dry 🙏

[@furkansahin3011]

Rain: Please travel in an esp active manner. Have a good ride.

[@gh0stfe4]

Hey Misha, what shoes do you use for driving on the nordschleife?

[@Red6er]

So IS38 turbo from Golf R? and did they say 380mm front rotors? Any idea what kind of brake kit that is? RS3 or something?

[@tobe2105]

ttrs mk2 is 380mm I think, used to come stock on Cupra 300 performance pack

[@malantra5730]

Where u all got the hood??

[@arejayy]

Hyundai Taxi at it again!

[@Random-dq8ew]

I would be terrified on a wet lap.

[@oversteer_9339]

PS5s are amazing

[@neoneo9573]

What do you guys think? I'm looking at a mk7 gti performance, can't decide dsg or manual?

[@Thaamas99]

dsg

[@carrera_26]

Dsg

[@AI-Records24]

Another vote for dsg. Yes manual is fun blah blah but dsg is faster and long trips are made very easy

[@dielaughing73]

​@@AI-Records24I love manual, but I also agree. DSG is better on track AND in traffic

[@dubsessed9790]

Dsg because you're going to have to immediately upgrade that shitty stock clutch anyway. Been that way for generations, it's made of glass and can barely hold stock power. If you get the manual look at a southbend stage 2 daily clutch and SMF (lightened flywheel), great replacement for the factory unit. I got rid of my mk7 for the S3, so I had to go dsg, but I really like the 7 speed dsg once it had a TCU tune. Paddle shifting while whipping through backroads is fun, and now my left leg isn't tired in stop n go traffic, lol.

[@ba.se.ba.se.9356]

Please do another lap in the dry🎉

[@AI-Records24]

Which induction kit is that? Sounds 10/10

[@conradthomson-dewey1096]

Sprogtech STX 👌🏼

[@melomailperm]

Так это не англичанин, а валлиец/друид/кельт или кто там в Уэльсе/ Cymry живёт?! Миша надо было на кельтском с ним говорить.

[@6ixss]

this car only barks ..

[@livewoutlimit]

Is there a reason why he doesn't hit the apexes in the wet?

[@jordan4474]

Rubber on the ideal dry line which is slippery in the wet

[@SturdivantRacing126]

It's called the wet line

[@MROSEWERKS]

no one commenting about passenger face at 8:01

[@jeremymitchell8470]

Info on the intake?

[@conradthomson-dewey1096]

Sprogtech STX

[@jimbrown5605]

Why is the "wet" line so different?!? Some corners WAY outside.

[@dielaughing73]

The dry line is covered in rubber which is slippery AF when wet

[@jimbrown5605]

@@dielaughing73 ahhh makes sense. Cheers

[@S.Madman]

Hyundai: Misha detected, begin chase.

[@yct6956]

is that ps5 better than ps4s in wet?

[@JC_46]

Yes. Look at the Michelin tests. It’s why I went for PS5 over PS4s on my RS4. Lots of rain in the UK

[@dielaughing73]

Can't say for sure but I have PS5 and everyone comments how good they are in the rain. Not so great when they heat up on track and the sidewalls start to flex.

[@yct6956]

​@@JC_46 the web seems telling me ps4s is better a bit overall, ps5 only better a bit in wet, ps5 93%, ps4s 87%

[@yct6956]

handling ps4s 97%, ps5 80%

[@JC_46]

@@yct6956 it really depends what your main use case is. PS4S is the better tyre in the dry but it has a much shorter life as it wears faster as a result. PS5 is a better tyre in the wet. What’s your use case? Neither are dedicated track tyres. I live in a country where it rains a lot so PS5 is the better compromise for me. It’s still unbelievable in the dry.

[@juaneku]

dry please

[@kgrimm5576]

I've always liked driving in the rain, esp AWDs. FWDs can be a hassle if ya dont have adequate tires, or your now ex GF floors her Honda Si going around a corner in the rain after ya specificly tell not to do just that, we stopped an in from a pole! Goes for RWDs too, esp if ya have bad back tires for the rain & TC turns on going 65 when trying to pass a slow moving truck (load w/incline). SPIRITED DRIVING=THERAPY no matter the conditions, stay safe though! 😁 SERIOUSLY... BTW my Continental Extreme Contacts are great for the rain. (IS350 front)

[@krazed0451]

The overrun is obnoxious as all hell.

[@AI-Records24]

Also probably unpopular opinion but I never use the carousel and hate it😅can’t help but sympathise with the cars too much

[@medvidekmisa]

like its a nice car, but every time I se the tablecloth seats Iam about to GAG, please you invested a lot into this car, get new seats or please some cloth to cover this up xD

Hits 142mph on Speedo even taking 5% it’s still fast in the wet in a car he doesn’t know. You try it in the wet the Nurburgring is like an ice rink..

[@dielaughing73]

​@@AI-Records24yeah that was about the most clueless comment I've ever seen under one of Misha's videos. It's pretty obvious from the owner's face that they're going very fast for the conditions. Plus all the 'faster' cars they passed
