Boosted Boris Teaches Me the Nurburgring in My Focus RS

It wouldn't be right to be based at the Nurburgring and not go for a lap of the legendary Nordschleife! To get started, we jump into my Ford Focus RS with Boosted Boris from Ring Garage to guide me around - slightly unconventional but very entertaining.
Why the Focus RS? As explained in video, this is a seriously demanding circuit and one that is frequently not given the respect it deserves. Taking to the Ring means driving uninsured and as such it would be foolish for me with limited experience to jump into a more valuable car without gaining some track time first.
I'd also like to remind you about the event, Sport 1 this weekend, where all of my cars that are based here will be in attendance. You can find our competition to win tickets here: bit.ly/2bWFPkQ

This is the best guided lap I've ever seen. Mischa/Boris' knowledge of the track is encyclopedic, , his assessment of the car's performance is brilliant, and MOST IMPORTANTLY he explains WHY he is giving directions ("Don't lift at the bottom or yo'll have a bad time"). He makes his wording simple and concise to ensure you can pay attention and respond quickly.

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Thank you carmrade!

[@BoostedborisWtf]

One of the most fun laps I've had this year! I kid you not, for second time driving on track ever, that was VERY good! GT4 next time!

[@mgcharoudin]

Why do you always get to do the fun part, while I have to be serious?

[@pumpuppthevolume]

+Misha Charoudin ...ok fine Misha I'll sub to u too :)

[@Swaces2000]

+Misha Charoudin savage lad

[@VWRICH23]

whats the avg cost to rent a car for the ring?..

[@netmatrix75]

If Boris not driving, i'm not watching!

[@davecom3]

Credit to this youtuber, instead of driving around London at 20mph and revving the shit out of various vinyl wrapped exotica and never testing their driving abilities, he's actually pushing himself

[@kennyd7667]

preach brother, preach

[@d0718]

Anyone driving a stupidly wrapped/bodykitted supercar in London is in 99% of cases is a show off idiot sponsored by his parents Tim is not one of them, he buys supercars to enjoy driving them how they are supposed to be driven

[@nikb6528]

+Dmitry L Yeah, but Tim is sponsored by his parents too ...

[@tomas61598]

so what?

[@Techspecs98]

Really mate, he has gone over this numerous times. His parents had no financial in his adult life.

[@THR33SIXX3MPYR]

Boris is the fucking man! I can't believe he doesn't have more subs.

[@BoostedborisWtf]

One day

[@skillspronto3401]

Must agree funny as fuck, and highly intelligent they both should do top gear together specially after the big few left/got sacked be better than they planned 😝😏

[@lijpeturk2000]

+Boosted Boris i will help you i am subscibing you right now

[@hax0r117]

I just subbed, keep it up! #BoostedNation

[@TheCarLovingSwede]

​@@BoostedborisWtf just watched your 500k video on the "serious" channel. You made it ❤ Although as yourself

[@willywillywillywillywilly]

I love how hard Boris was pushing you on the track. I could feel the excitement/tension... hear the tires squealing... Very cool.

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Did my best :)

[@PuffOfSmoke]

This is one of the best video of Shmee. Just love listening to TIm & Misha talk about cars, racing and Nordschleife.

[@d0718]

"Aim for the graffiti" - only at Nurburgring :D

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Probably true

[@maxschafer6401]

Tim, you're awesome ! Keep up this awesome work :) I Hope to See you at the Sport1-Event, greetings from GE

[@Shmee150]

We'll be there and as will my line-up of cars at the Ring Garage display!

[@maxschafer6401]

+Shmee150 Cool, really looking forward to this :)

[@MrDoKo0]

Regarding the insurance, Most companys wont pay, but some do pay if you crash there =) not meaning that you have to go in the mclaren, but just saying that some companys will pay but probably hate you afterwards lmao

[@yurimulero4801]

some people just don't realize that driving around nordschleife is very dangerous. it's a circuit with a lot of turns and it's not like to drive in a silverstone, interlagos, or monza. even in the videogames i crash all the time. i lose the control of the car and it crashes...

[@muneebk97]

+Yuri Mulero totally agree with you! I drive on the Nurburgring all the time in gran turismo 5 and when I'm really on it I usually lose control once or twice so I can't imagine what it's like driving in reality!

[@AutoAddictionMedia]

Nice video! And also a good thing you didn't end up in one of our crash videos ^_^

[@statesidesupercars]

Actually a really good tutorial, I wonder how many laps Boris has done?

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Never enough

[@statesidesupercars]

Boosted Boris Haha, true story. Saw you driving through Adenau today

[@Some944]

Very very nice video ! You perfectly explained what the Nordschleife means to people who love cars. I did a roadtrip with my old Alfa 33, 2 years ago, because it is the Nordschleife... I still feel the emotion when I entered on the track and when I finished it. The dream came true even in my little 1.3L 90hp ;) Keep going with your vids !

[@SwedishGamer322SG322]

I like how Misha seems like such a kind, considerate and humble guy. And then when he turns into Boris he's loud and obnoxious and inappropriate as anything xD

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Let's me be me.

[@SwedishGamer322SG322]

Boosted Boris I'm not saying I don't like it! :)

[@steeltrap3800]

He's like the Russians I know; they all seem to have the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde thing going on. I like them, too, but people not ready for it can find it jarring (especially the English).

[@Chris_Alonzo_Vlogs]

10:10 "oh my god, look in the rear view mirror, it's salomandrin he wants to hotbox us" 😂

[@robhiattjr9008]

this was the best car driving enthusit video i have ever seen produced or shown on youtube. great job tim taking ego out of driving fast and Boris was fantastic as a driving coach...... hard to believe that with as crazy as boris seams most of the time........ stellar.........

[@kondjedes4866]

This has to be one of your better videos in a long time. Boris acting normal actually talking a lot of sense. This type of content suits the 16+ viewers a lot more.

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

Just lapped the Nurburgring this past month in my dads GT4 he just picked up through European delivery. I managed a 9:21. Such a blast. Cant wait til that beast arrives home in L.A.

[@victorragnarsson2828]

Cute

[@liamsels3112]

+Kim Jong un jealous haha

[@victorragnarsson2828]

+Liam sels Why would i be? Lmfao

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

congrats on that name, man. haha

[@WinnipegCarSpotter]

You're videos with Boris have turned out so well. Ring Comedian he is

[@MrDarrenNice]

Fully appreciate why you're not taking the 675LT round. Really good video Tim. Loved the fact it was half an hour. Great content as always.

[@MrDarrenNice]

And Misha seems like a really cool guy. Loved his knowledge, understanding and respect of the track 😊

[@victoririas2366]

"Goodbye Lamborghini, you have trashcan colors anyways" I almost heart attack LOL

[@leadfoot5307]

Man, "Boris" is hysterical! Seems like a great guy and he really knows his stuff. Just sounds like a genuinely cool guy. One of my dream vacations would be to visit the Nurburgring. The history, the ambience, everything; it's just a car lovers paradise. Now that I've started driving myself, it's one of the places I'll have to visit in my lifetime!

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Thank you carmrade!

[@edcunhaph]

10:10 "Oh My God, look at your review mirror, It's salomondrin!" Hahaha Boris is great! And this was a very nice video, a good point of view of the nurburgring, different from "simple" lap videos! :D

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Thank you carmrade!

[@elvislad]

Brilliantly good instructional driving,exactly how i want to be taught

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Come over! :)

[@xothierryxo]

One of my favorite schmee video. Thank you Tim and Boosted Boris.

[@BoostedborisWtf]

You're welcome carmrade!

[@jacklea7931]

Tim this is one of the best videos every, to see the natural side of your self and mischa just talking about the track and surrounding areas. Also great to see boris teaching you the track was fantastic he is so knowledgeable. Great work lads loved it 👍🏽

[@federalbureauofindigestion4084]

That lap joke from Boris and then transitioning to a perfect view of what his sunglasses say was perfect

[@slcncr]

Really *great* and informative Video about the famous and so difficult and demanding Nordschleife. And its absolutely true what Misha / Boris said about the amount of Laps you have to do to really get to know it. Just an Example : Sabine Schmitz ( Ringtaxi Driver and a proper Racedriver ) has done more than 30.000 laps there. She is one of not many People who really can say that they *know* the Track.

[@marsattacks7071]

Very interesting comments regarding Nurburgring between you guys (at the end). So many facts around that legendary place ! And Shmee, well said at the very end of your video concerning the insurances on race tracks... Thanks ! If I ever go there, I will ask an instructor to show me the way...

[@sbuzzkill]

It’s so cool to watch this video and compare it with your recent Senna video. You’ve come a long way and it’s been fun watching and dreaming of doing the same thing. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@porschecollector727]

Shmee, You and Misha work very well together. You compliment each other. This segment doesn't feel like a blog, but rather an episode of a proper TV car show.

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Thank you!

[@byronohene-adu5104]

Is Boris and Mischa the same person?

[@Jack9788]

They're triplets. They keep Igor in the basement.

[@Felix311311]

+Jack1138 hahaha

[@d0718]

How can it be the same person if they have different names?

[@SajtosPoga]

+Jack1138 oh my god haha

[@SajtosPoga]

Yes they are. Misha is the man and Boris is the character

[@XanderLeeds]

My favourite youtuber by far!

[@clockman47]

thanks TIM and crew

[@bsmukler]

This is one of the most interesting and informative videos of yours that I have seen. "Boris" is a different person when he is in the role of Ring instructor, and your conversation on the way back to the Ring Garage was fascinating. It is also really cool to see someone getting that much fun out of the little Focus RS!

[@DiscoR53]

Boris rocks! That's got to be the calmest instructions I have ever seen.

[@itswhitenoise9607]

Perfect proof that Boris can be serious in the right times! Not a bad lap time as well! Much respect for not taking the LT, if something wrong were to happen, you'd probably be kicking yourself for not taking a different car.

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Thank you carmrade White!

[@CCGR-2024]

WOW! That was an incredible experience! You must have been truly (I don't have the words to describe) overjoyed to have had that experience. I truly envy you.

[@Sold_a_dummy]

This series of videos has been amazing thus far. Keep it up. Your interaction with Boosted Norris is great. 👍

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Norris :D

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Did you know that Chuck Norris caught all the Pokémons by using landline?

[@empo31]

+Boosted Boris haha

[@joshyoung8773]

loving all these videos with Boris. This was an awesome and informative video. Cant wait for more to come in the next few weeks.

[@dkillas]

Keep up the good work Tim! I've been checking your videos for years now and learn something new every time, thank you! It's nice to see you improving your driver skills... P.S.: Boosted Boris IS AWESOME! (and yes, the LT color is absolutely gorgeous!) Cumps from Portugal.

[@Captain-Mayday]

Boris is a good trainer. Would love to have him as a co-driver for my first time out,

[@BoostedborisWtf]

You know where to find me!

[@dustbowl19311939]

Great video, Shmee. The most interesting you have posted this year.

[@CageyJ0nnY]

Whoa! Boris is so different in his less powerful (and less drunk) form! Nice to see the real him imo :)

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Thank you carmrade!

[@IKnewMickey]

what a great piece of video!!! misha is such a cool knowledgeable dude. I've never watched a 30 min you tube video but this one is over the top excellent i will have to watch this video again and again.

[@BoostedborisWtf]

On behalf of my other me: thank you!

[@k11ll33rr]

THAT WAS AWESOME! I could feel the adrenaline pumping through me veins even while I was sitting and watching that video!! awesome job shmee and boris! I honestly was getting a bit tired of him, but now mann, hes the dude

[@blackshadow7192]

"The barbecue corner" Holy shit that's savage af

[@YOLORACER]

Great video Shmee, love to see you racing, keep them coming.

[@CYI2US]

Superb video Shmee150, I really enjoyed the commentary!

[@Yojikman]

That was one of the best videos mate!!!

[@FrankDBoyce]

Best Shmee video of 2016. Easily.

[@ZafMio]

Great video Tim!! It was fun to watch!!!

[@fcgodftw]

Loved this video because you weren't' afraid Shmee. Love the trashing on the RS! That rev limiter hit at 5:30ish was so awesome :D

[@hybob951]

Awesome video. I think this is one of the more interesting videos in the past few weeks.

[@jnspinola]

Great job guys, well done! The focus looks beautiful.

[@dantonchat71]

Awesome video Shmee, seems like a hell of a fun time ! That Rs sure look like a serious car !

[@nigelnuj]

Mischa is actually cooler without the Boosted Boris schtick, I like the knowledge and perspective he brought. Great video.

[@IntegraDIY]

Is shmee payed to drive this focus? He seems mostly into super cars yet gives this ford so much credit. Would be cool to see him buy and bash a super car around the 'ring..

[@Shmee150]

No I am not paid, but keep watching to the end and I explain the exact answer to your comment

[@schumifannreins295]

Simple: in the unlikely case of a crash it is "just" the Focus RS.

[@johndoe-vv5vd]

Shmee transparency keeps fans maybe no ford sponsor yet but youtube plus all your social media platforms = Payday for driving your ford and posting it.

[@snhoOk]

Is there no All-risk insurance with track included?

[@Shmee150]

I've driven the Focus RS already 3,500km - I could happily have done that in another car but it's genuinely great to be behind the wheel of it. Of course I enjoy mixing up the content with different types of cars, but nobody makes me do anything specifically like this.

[@erirocit]

Such an awesome video you took Shmee!!!! Such an awesome video!

[@stevecampbell7632]

Big balls through Fuchsröhre on that first lap! Nicely done!!

[@benhutchins404]

Really cool to see one individuals knowledge of a single race track but in so many ways didn't think I was going to make it through initially but that was pretty cool

[@Xerxes326]

at around 2 minutes in, my god that ff has the best paint I've ever seen in sunlight, you lucky man shmee

[@robinkeller9314]

Love to see the both sides of Boris 😁 Great video guys!

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Thanks carmrade!

[@aumkar2]

Epic video, great job Misha and Tim!

[@OverpassVisuals]

I managed to squeeze in just under 10 minutes on my 3rd ever lap BtG in the Ring Garage GT86. The conditions were, lets just say, damp and cold. All I would like to say is that games (simulators) are a good way to learn the track's general layout, so that you are able to predict the next corner. Other than that, take it easy on your first laps around the 'Ring. :)

[@finalnintyeight]

Really fun video! Also did a lap on the nordschleife with friends in a mates Audi RS5 back on carfriday! I just love this place! So many cars there...just the right place to be for car guys, car enthusiasts, spotters etc :)

[@richardwarner5491]

Boris knows his stuff , just great !

[@NavGTI]

"On the top of the hill there's a McLaren P16 Mso GTR application" What a legend

[@johnnymossville]

Great video Tim, Would love to have Boosted Boris show me around the ring.

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Stop by :)

[@johnnymossville]

+Boosted Boris Some day!

[@carlosbarragan1673]

good teacher.. but shmee was in bad gear at times... he needs more downshifting revmatch at certain corners...

[@BoostedborisWtf]

That would be too much for first lesson ;)

[@gee530]

Awesome video. Really interesting, and must be absolutely wonderful to have Mischa as the instructor, he knows his way around the Ring.

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Thank you carmrade!

[@tomztomz3278]

Tim, you're awesome ! Keep up this awesome work your youtube channel and yourself are just one of a kind I Hope to See you at the Sport1-Event, i understand about the 675lt spyder i still appreciate you for showing us the laps in the FORD RS

[@peterrrr]

That is one if not THE best of your videos!

[@schumifannreins295]

Great video, Tim and Boris!!!

[@mathismas5810]

boris, you are the man! i've always enjoyed the 'drunk russian' side of you and i couldn't imagine you any differently, but you really surprised me. hats off, you seem extremely passionate and knowledgeable about cars, the car scene, motorsport and especially the nordschleife. very cool to see you being normal. also, those were some nice laps, shmee! :D

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Thank you carmrade!

[@Noryev1]

Shmee that was great driving and it was amazing to see you drive on the Nurburgring and it was amazing that it was your own RS! You should take your GT3 or your LT on it!!!

[@alanzyoutube]

I think I can speak for a lot here, what we would like to see is Mischa driving whatever the fastest Ring Garage car is around the track as full whack, a lot don't seem to 'get' Boris so maybe this would shut them up, how fast can Mischa really go?

[@TheRN27]

Oh, nice to see this side of Boris!

[@janvandenbos7085]

Tim this was awesome Boris teaches you the Nurburgring in the Focus RS, and what i thought on a circuit you are not insured, driving was good fast time, some drivers chrassing thanks for sharing Shmee 👌 😊

[@jazpersalinas3864]

Tim keep up the good work more cars to come

[@davidcupra4913]

Love this Video. My first lap was terrifying too on a busy day.

[@Rampage686]

Awesome video! It's great to be able to see what it's like out there, hopefully I'll take my Fiesta ST out there in the future 🙂

[@tommi171]

Hey Tim, i watch your videos since a good half year i think. It got better and better ;) especially those NoS Videos are real great! I also just have driven 10 laps there and i totaly fell in love with the track at the moment, so your videos are coming just in the right time ;) Without such a funny and well coach its a little bit harder to reach that laptimes you did, congratulations :) You said uninsured, you mean while trackdays? While Touristenfahrten the track is an official "Countryroad" the german Road Laws were active and you have full insurance meanwhile driving there. Maybe some insurers have some extra clauses or sth..

[@jamespugh]

Nice run Tim . so u got plans to take the GT4 out love to see the lap time on a green lap. wish got Chane on green with the RS.

[@Teamshmo]

Omg that was awesome. I hope you do a ton more videos there. Also, was disappointed you weren't gonna try the 675LT there, but totally understand why not. I definitely wouldn't drive it there with no insurance either.

[@KarlFarbman]

Best video yet. I'm finally going to go - you've inspired me.

[@89Trashmaster]

27:53 Germans are insured, it's called Vollkasko in Germany and driving the Touristenfahrten is insured then. Didn't know that's different for visitors from other countries. Thx.

[@MegaSturrup]

I really appreciate the content! and completely understand why not the LT around the ring however pleasee get it put on some good roads :) cheers Tim!

[@rich991_r3]

Much better video, not enjoyed much content recently from Tim this is much improved.

[@JonathanLahr]

I totally agree with you...I wouldn't take the LT out on the Ring even if full insurance was available...it's not always how well you drive, but the others out there at the same time sharing the track. I've seen too many Ring vids with horrific crashes and terrible driving etiquette to not understand what you mean... Personally though, i'd like to take and Ariel Atom, KTM, Radical or something similar around the ring some day...that place looks like a ton of fun. Thanks for the video...

[@Maart3nSl3g3rs]

I support the way you use your cars the smart way. Yes I can't help liking crashes too but luckily there are other channels to go to for that.

[@blue.2929]

This was an awesome videoclip Shmee! it's awesome to see you driving something that isn't worth 500k euro. If you can, do more vids like this one!

[@HammerRocks]

OMG! Not Boosted Boris again. I actually considered skipping watching this video as it had BB on the title. But since it involves the Nordschleife, I did anyway. BB should stay as Misha permanently. He's definitely much better. Great work you two [Tim and Misha].

[@anthonymancuso7272]

I've been going back and watching ever video and clicking on the ads.

[@oskarmogren8831]

Amazing video, more of this! Nürburgring is heaven on earth.

[@BenjafieldandBaker]

Awesome video. Really good to see you guys give an explanation on how things really are at the ring and prove that it's not all about laptimes! Great to see Boosted Borris without the hat and vodka and showing the world that he knows his shit!Thanks for an awesome video, hoping to see you and Mischa again. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@BoostedborisWtf]

Thank you carmrade!

[@feshty22]

This is why shmee is at the top of his game! Wanna see more of the real boosted boris, very knowledgeable guy!

[@ashy_gee6]

This video was great especially that last bit at the end of this video, I don't think I ever seen you shmee on video so long talking about cars. Really thorough. Good stuff keep it up. I would like to see a video with alejandro, or some other enthusiasts for such long thoughts.

[@joseamotaredondo6154]

I think I saw a few Seat Leon Cupra out side the ring garage, try one out and tell us how it feels.... thankyou Tim and keep it up the good work

[@lucasdp3724]

Bring your LT to Ascari! Pretty sure you will fall in love with it 👍😀

[@brianmerz6070]

I think I saw your car going around the track on EMS Nordeschleife's channel. What is even stranger is that I am a distant cousin to Otto Merz, who won the German GP there; but also his closer relative, and mine, lives in the US. She still has the trophies of his accomplishments. I wish I had the money to ship my A1 VW GTI to the 'Ring' for a run around, and compare it to his late 1920's winning time. I couldn't afford it, but I would let you give her a go.

[@robertjdm]

I was hoping to see Boris take the RS around the ring.

[@Vortex]

I really enjoyed this video. Please make more like it.
