THIS IS HOW TO DRIVE A PORSCHE CAYMAN ON THE NURBURGRING! Ft ​⁠

[@eddybooth1]

How this car suddenly comes alive when it is driven by a professional is awesome.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Really does. I’m gonna do my lap and Misha side by side soon. It’s mad how different it looks

[@paulcester5348]

Well, there you go, if anyone is going to give your Porsche a good workout, Mischa the man! Excellent video and go the tiptronic gearbox 👍

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you! The gearbox is not terrible👍🤣

[@warrenlucier5796]

Watching this gave me a grin from ear to ear and almost had tears running down my face looking at his expression and yours. This reminded me of a ride (987.2 Cayman S) my brother took with me and I looked like Mischa he looked like you did. When the car started to rotate on it's axis he started looking a bit in fear 😵‍💫. I let him know we were at about 8 tenths and not to worry 😁, I'm 73 and he's 75 🤫. Thanks for sharing the ride.

[@JoeTalksCars]

🤣🤣 I drive quick and used to fast cars but the way he launched it bends was something else 🤣

[@prof_tim]

Sorry to have a chuckle at your expense, Joe; but your face on that lap was hilarious ;)

[@JoeTalksCars]

🤣🤣🤣 I mean I couldn’t play poker

[@GRfourfun]

Honestly Joe I’ve absolutely loved all these Nurburgring videos. I appreciate all the time and effort you’ve put in to them and this one was brilliant. I think it’s very high praise what Misha said about your Cayman, he never mixes his words.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you so much, really appreciate that. Loved making them. Hoping to keep this sort of content going.

[@Conversus]

Wow! Need to wait until I don’t have to watch this on the phone. Looking forward to it, what a great collaboration.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you! Yeah this is a good one. Incredible experience.

[@M_IkeLeBlanc]

Great video Joe! Major kudos for sitting in the passenger seat while someone else wrings out your car. Miesha certainly can drive! Car sounds great too. 👍

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you!! It was an amazing experience

[@marcvs66videouploads75]

Really fun video! That Cayman is quite capable!

[@JoeTalksCars]

Shocked me how good it is!

[@michaelho9848]

As a 987.1 Cayman S owner myself. This was truly awesome. Thanks for making this video. Great to see what this platform can actually do. How I modified my brakes: stainless steel brake lines and the cayman R pads. They offer a slightly better bite without the squealing of track pads.

[@jpalbin1350]

Great video!!! 😃

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you! 😃

[@jpalbin1350]

@@JoeTalksCars I am pleased about his views on the Tiptronic box. Far too many internet experts just talk nonsense with no real experience. Anyway, he also spotted your suspension issue (which I know you have subsequently sorted out). 👍👍

[@RossCuth]

Sorry, I had to laugh at the fear on your face during some of the segments in the video. I've let my dad drive my own Cayman and there's many moments that has my ass clenching and thinking "Oh here we go, i'm dead lol", even when I make the exact same maneuvers. The confidence dynamics really hits between you driving your car hard and letting someone drive it hard lol

[@JoeTalksCars]

🤣🤣 it’s odd isn’t it. The lack of control as a passenger is so different. I tend to drive the car hard, especially on good quiet roads with other Porsche club members but it’s a different ball game on the Nurburgring with a pro

[@agg25gga]

Your face was priceless! 😂

[@smiler921]

I would 100% have that same look, and be passenger foot braking 😅

[@JoeTalksCars]

🤣🤣🤣 makes the video

[@JoeTalksCars]

Yeah it was mad! Loved it but so scary

[@aneildavis]

You mean the sheer enjoyment? 😅

[@simonroberts9225]

Brilliant video Joe, keep up the good work!

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@chrispig7748]

Now that’s a proper driver!

[@JoeTalksCars]

Incredible wasn’t it?

[@aidan463]

I’m so pleased for you that you got to ‘enjoy’ (yes we all loved watching your face 😂) your car being driven like that. It’s definitely satisfying to see how capable the platform is and how well it faired at 17 years old, plus how much more it can handle than you have been giving it. Asking someone like Misha to take it out is of course a risk, but then we all have to assess risks when we drive our own sports cars and if the life long memory and reward for a lap like that was worth the potential risk then it’s well worth it I’m sure and at least in your case it paid off. Something you’ll never forget 😊

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you! I was terrified for the risk of losing the car but 100% worth it. Totally unforgettable and to meet Misha was great too! Amazing guy and so kind,

[@MichaelTrivett-pr6zx]

A great video a tribute to the car and yourself to let him drive it at that level 👍🏻

[@JoeTalksCars]

And he actually liked the car!

[@Jay_Chang612]

That’s freaking awesome! I’m subbed to both of you and I have the exact same car but mines a manual!!

[@JoeTalksCars]

Nice! Thank you!

[@garrymartin3804]

[@JoeTalksCars]

Never found it! 🤣

Thank you! ☺️

[@dunstanhawk7367]

You looked absolutely terrified! Very funny.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Certainly was🤣 my poor little car

[@WeirdNeville]

Brake pad sensors just melt on track and throw the signal. You can loop them back on themselves and just not worry (but keep an eye on wear obviously)

[@JoeTalksCars]

Oooh interesting 👍 it’s gone back off now and the pads and discs are new so maybe it was a glitch.

[@edborrie9936]

Some amazing facial expressions there Joe. What an experience.

[@JoeTalksCars]

😂😂 it was bloody terrifying

[@martinmees878]

Great stuff. I'm looking for a Cayman at present. What tyres are you running Joe?

[@JoeTalksCars]

Nice! It’s got Michelin Ps4s on now.

[@RichT53]

😂😂 your face at the start is an absolute picture!! Fair play to you as I’m not sure I could be so brave. Great video 👍

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you! Yeah it was pretty wild. Scary but worth the risk in my opinion.

​@@JoeTalksCarsI would've been terrified as well

[@rickhouten1622]

Can’t help but notice that Miata / mx5 was just flying and it was the legendary misha at the wheel no less in the cayman 😂

[@JoeTalksCars]

I know! What on earth was in that! Probably the quickest mx5 I’ve ever seen!

[@scottadcock4470]

Insane, dodgy shock absorber ? And gone full send ? Guys a menace for other TF drivers on the ring atm

[@JoeTalksCars]

Well my mate said he felt it did. No leak, I can’t feel it and Misha said won’t bushes. So he held back due to that.

[@kevinneary2283]

Fantastic your face tells the story 😂

[@JoeTalksCars]

Yeah can’t hide how I felt

[@richfixescars]

Great video. As expected rubber bushings are worn on an almost 20 year old Cayman.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Thank you!! Yeah it’s on the list of things I need to do. That and coil overs 🤣

[@growthcountry]

Get those bushings done. and find racing rotors and pads? lol 👍👍

[@JoeTalksCars]

My plan is to return with upgraded suspension 🤣

[@motorhole]

Not sure you looked like you enjoyed that mate 😂 Misha on the other hand, chilled Sunday drive face!

[@JoeTalksCars]

🤣🤣 I did but at the time Jesus Christ it was insane!

[@dwarfyh32]

Proof that driving skill counts for more than bhp. What was the lap time by the way?

[@JoeTalksCars]

I think it was 8 minutes 50 so pretty good

[@WeirdNeville]

@@JoeTalksCars Oh Nice. That means I'm faster than Misha in a cayman S round the Nurburgring!

[@scottadcock4470]

I thought the car had some issues ? On your first video ?

[@JoeTalksCars]

So we suspected a shock but I can’t feel that and it’s not leaking. Misha thinks bushes which does make more sense given the cars age. The car had full fast road geometry so ride heights we spot on so hardly going to be a shock.

[@Southerngeordie287]

What speed were you reaching?

[@JoeTalksCars]

140 at points. I have a beep set on the car for 100 so that shows how hard he was going. On his video(coming out soon) he shows more views and the speed. I decided to make it a little different.

[@rossbethell4187]

Couldn’t decipher if you had fear for your life or for the lack of mechanical sympathy for the old girl getting an absolute thrashing. Obviously a completely different experience to watch compared to your lap which was pedestrian at best (sorry Joe), but the gear shift ferocity shows it was either full brake or full throttle all the way round apart from some mid bend sawing. Loved it.

[@JoeTalksCars]

Haha both! It was very scary but incredible. I went very very slow. Still had fun tho.

[@christopherwoodhouse7286]

[@PointNemo9]

Not to be a buzz-kill, but what would happen if he crashed it?

[@JoeTalksCars]

He sorts it. Misha is a decent bloke and if it came to it would not leave you out of pocket.

[@mrh6577]

You’re such a chicken 😂 you looked scared!!

Yeah. Knowing how fast I’ve driven the car before. Heading into bends 80 mph quicker than I did. Bloody terrifying but incredible.

[@smillal]

Looks like you were genuinely scared for your life tbh...

[@JoeTalksCars]

I was 🤣

[@patrickbateman7122]

No way is Misha king of the ring, not a bad driver but there's so many with more talent i think he's bit overhyped because of his YT channel..

[@flat6croc]

If you want to do this kind of thing, fine. But it's poor advice to suggest other people should give their cars to Misha. He pushes cars very hard, often doesn't leave much margin and crashes regularly. That's not to criticise his ability, it's just a reality if you're pushing that hard, things are going to go wrong. I wouldn't let him near my cars. Again, I'm not criticising his ability, it's his MO that's the problem as a car owner.

[@thecraiglett1]

He doesn't crash, "regularly". Why lie and say that he does ??

[@flat6croc]

@@thecraiglett1 It's not a lie. He crashed an M4 a few weeks ago and ended up in hospital. He crashed his own GR86 nine months ago. He crashed another M4 about six months before that, crashed a GT86 before that and on and on. In fact, he's crashed eight times this year. After the latest crash there's been something of an outcry on the Nurburgring group FB page for the whole go fund me thing and the complete lack of introspection when it comes to crashing. He's a liability. So, fuck off and don't falsely accuse people of lying.

[@WeirdNeville]

@@thecraiglett1 It's not a lie. He's crashed a good number of cars and there's growing concern about the way he drives on TF.

What is wrong with you? Looks like you don’t want to be there

[@JoeTalksCars]

Spending all this money on a car, rebuilding the engine then watch as you head into bends double what you think is possible.
