Thank you so much!! :)

[@Richwood81]

Alex, good job and congratz to 10000! I found your channel when you just started to build your awesome "man-cave" with your rig, PC, beamer etc. And I love how much love and emotion you put into your videos. Keep up and let us participate. :) Cheers to your first real life lap. I can imagine what fun this would be. Thank you!

[@TheExtraMile]

Haha thank you!! I will keep making content for you guys, that will never change. Just need some time at the moment to move out of the studio/move the simrig again before it gets a bit more regular again.

Congratulations Alex! It looked like a busy day at the Nordschleife 😀 I did a trackday on Spa last monday with my e46. If you ever have the time you must do a trackday on Spa, alot less trafic and alot more room for error 😀 Nice video, keep up the good work 👍

[@TheExtraMile]

Oh man Jonathan that sounds awesome!!! I definitely want to do SPA this year if all goes well. It´s in my top three tracks I think. And nice car btw!! E46 M3 is the best M car ever made.

[@DonnyDonnMendoza]

Thanks for doing this! It's nice to see the Nordschleife entry and carpark from the point of view of someone who's not considered a "big time" Nurburgring/Nordschleife. The amazingness of the place can be easily lost but that never happened with your video. Hope you do hit the big time some time soon though! Congrats on 10k!

[@TheExtraMile]

Thank you so much Alfred!!! :)

[@Petrolheadish]

Discovered your channel only now, but really enjoyed this video! Your comments made the drive come alive even more, and those downshifts of the C63 are heavenly.

[@TheExtraMile]

Thank you so much for stopping by and the kind words! Much more trackdays to come this year and more videos about mods for the car! :)

[@chrisdabrowski8101]

Fantastic video Alex! (I'm a fellow C63 owner in the UK.) I love the quote - "I don't want to die.". :-)

Haha thank you Chris! And sorry for the late reply! I hope you´re having lots of fun with your excellent taste in cars ;) There will be more Nordschleife videos this year. Currently lining up some very juicy mods too!

Hands down. This is THE best Benz C63 feed.

Thank you Marty! I can’t wait to go for the next round of mods! And there will be more trackdays this year as well!

I saw a Jaguar Project 8 SV prototype at the Eurotunnel in England once. It has the camo wrap as well as a ducktail instead of a wing.

Great Video Man i Enjoyed it

[@TheExtraMile]

Thank you!! Glad that you liked it!! :)

[@alexandrasharabrina9051]

Could you make a how to drive on track video where you talk about when to downshift, when hard brake, when easy brake, when coast or accelerate? You could do this while driving so that we know what you do. There was such a video on dodge hellcat, but c63 is a different car.

[@TheExtraMile]

Hmm, I like that idea Alexandra. I will think about how to package that into a video!

[@TheExtraMile]

Danke dir Janosch! Ich plane das Auto komplett in dunkelblau zu lackieren, davor muss hinten noch eine kleine Kotflügelverbreiterung dran damit ich 305er hinten drauf machen kann. Das alles zusammen wird gut was kosten also muss ich dafür noch ein Weilchen sparen. Ich denke so im Herbst. Als nächstes kommt Fahrwerk so im August, dann muss ich mich zwischen Auspuff und Lack, Kotflügel, Räder entscheiden.

SingleRacer what is your oil temp avg? I usually see just above 80-90 degrees, seems normal? Yes or no?

[@jonahhitchcock5821]

The Extra Mile what is your avg oil temp

[@SingleRacerSVR]

Sorry Jonah, as it was mainly a joke between Alex & myself as a long-term sub. I am in Australia, so have never driven the track in real life. I was (jokingly) referring to the hundreds of laps I have done in the game. If you have driven it in real like too then that is just awesome, as it would definitely be one of my "bucket list" things to do.... if I ever won Tattslotto.

[@Jorcap]

I am obviously biased, but I agree :)

[@yungdadi]

Am glad this video was done. How does the green hell compare to what we play in sim?

[@TheExtraMile]

Thank you and very good question! I will do another detailed comparison episode about the differences between sim and real life. Might take a few weeks since I am currently in the process of moving the rig and it´s in pieces :) In short: I would say that it felt roughly similar. At least I didn´t notice a huge deviation from the overal grip level that you find in AC. The behaviour at the grip limit is slightly different, but not dramatically. The differences is mostly how the tire interacts with the road, kind of hard to explain. Overall AC and other sims are getting very, very close to the handling in real life. Biggest difference are the g forces. It´s like riding a roller coaster in VR and then in real life. It just doesn´t compare.

[@yungdadi]

How was the grip in real life compared to Assetto Corsa ? It appears as though Nords has a bit more grip in real life.

[@TheBikemaster94]

What do you think of the ML63? I see it has similar numbers to the Durango SRT but it's cheaper at 13k USD

[@TheExtraMile]

I like it! It would be an extremely thirsty car, and I mean EXTREMELY thirsty. You probably would see 20 liters/100km (11.7 mpg) on average and more when you drive a bit faster. That being said, it would be the same for the Durango. I do like the looks of the ML, I obviously do like the engine. I think it´s a pretty great car :)

[@johnsmith-mk3zq]

Im suprised u didn't run out of fuel after 1 lap with that thirsty engine ☺

Which VR settup did you use in the video

[@TheExtraMile]

It´s pretty decent! Good graphics and physics, but you only have one try. If you crash the car it´s over.

[@卓尧杜]

The Extra Mile Damn that is why it’s good to see someone skilled like you not me playing this game😂

[@Pendragon1989]

Torque torque torque, power power power, come on! How is this compared to Asseto?? Night and day difference??

[@TheExtraMile]

Hmm, I would answer this with yes and no. Yes in the sense that actually being there and feeling the g-forces is a huuuuuuuge difference to the rather "relaxed" simracing experience. It´s like riding one of those VR rollercoasters and then comparing it to a real one. It just doesn´t compare. And no in the sense that the actual handling of the car on the track is pretty close to what I feel in AC. Not perfect in any situation of course, but pretty damn close.
