Tony's Nurburgring Near Misses & Goodwood's Best Bits [S7, E8]

[@BenB91]

As a UK regulated financial adviser, lombard lending is incredibly high risk. Sam, you would struggle to access this in the UK, so approach with caution. Regulation is less strict in Europe, so please carefully understand what you are getting into it.

[@ryanclarke9477]

He can do what he wants, but pushing something that isn’t available here for good reason isn’t on - he needs to rethink.

[@FeelsDonkMan]

@@ryanclarke9477 Lombard Loans are available in the UK, but they are rarer and there's more protections here. It's not completely unavailable.

[@vliltuab8745]

In EU there are quite a lot of places were Lombard Loans are not supported by the regulator despite EU regulation

[@Swixperience]

Uhoh Sam. As a portfolio manager, the lombard against your investments to fund a car sounds very risky. Let's just say market crashes, which is far from impossible, you're going to have a margin call on your loan and that money will be tied in a (depreciating) physical asset you can't liquidate fast. So you'd have to either fund your account with some other fresh cash, or sell your investments at a loss to cover. Well, hopefully swissquote has already made that clear.

[@ronijatania5266]

Sam - I’m a banker and I think you need you need to be aware of the added risks of a Lombard loan - not quite as simple as you made out

[@Chrissy-H]

Tony's reaction to that Lombard loan thing is solid gold. To be fair, it does sound like a castle built on sand 😂

[@dampaul13]

A sand castle?

[@karunnagraj8249]

It isn't a scam. Many rich people use loans backed by investments, an added benefit is that the loan isn't seen as income so there's no income tax on it, while the investment remains invested, appreciating in value. The only shady part is what happens to the loan if the investment fails or reduces in value

Be careful with schemes which effectively "use your capital twice over". This is how Outside Names at Lloyds of London lost their shirts. If you need to know more, ask your oldies' friends about the Lloyds fiasco.

[@JohnMadden-n7l]

Sam, beware of bankers pushing margin loans (that's what it sounds like you are being offered). A profitable business for them, but a risky one for their clients. Be sure to ask them about margin calls. If you would like another opinion, I retired after 36 years with an international investment bank.

[@aeromotive2]

agree.. sounds super risky.

[@Edddy1337]

I think the 750s and Artura videos are shot and produced really well but the audience just aren’t bothered as they’re basically just a 720s and 570s with a couple extra bits, which everyone has seen a thousand times

[@larssonk22]

I think the thumbnail wasn't very good, nothing to get excited about. I'm a McLaren fanboy and I still waited a couple of days just to watch it.

[@michaelducasse4458]

It felt like the videos weren’t very passionate. Not a lot of interest in the cars. Other videos have felt more cared for

[@Chrissy-H]

Agreed. Sam was giving himself a hard time, but I don't think theres anything wrong with the videos themselves. The subject matter is a the mildly updated spider version of a car people are already bored of... 🤷‍♂

[@mackas69]

Having visited fairly regularly, I gave up on Goodwood a few years ago. The traffic is just ridiculous and the event is heavily oversold meaning you struggle to see any cars, moving or otherwise.

[@PeterKirton-nu9iv]

Absolutely agree. The last time I went years ago it was 40,000 people a day and people came in carrying step ladders for a better view.

[@Richard_Turner]

Ive said it to many people, the ring has not become more dangerous in itself, but the tyre and suspension technology along with the performance of the car have come on so much in the last 10 to 15 years beyond all recognition but the one thing that has gone backwards are the drivers. It is always the faster drivers responsibility but there are a growing number of egos, i tend to drive with headlights on just to get a chance for them to see the little Megane is coming 😂

[@97aventador]

Sam is 100% right about Tony and the Ring. He'd be way better off on a track day there. I agree that people act like bellends and drive stupidly, but when people stick to the rules there aren't problems. Slow drivers stick to the right, faster drivers overtake on the left. Its up to the fast people to back off and overtake slower moving cars safely.

[@danjo911]

Totally correct. There is no way TF can be regulated to that extent. Do a track day or don’t go.

[@bargym2312]

I think Sam is buying a 550 barchetta. Perfect Monterrey car week kinda car.

[@NerdburgChannel]

TF is for all drivers regardless of car or experience. If you want to time or drive 10/10s go on a track day. It's the attitude of the lap time hero's that is more dangerous than those just there for the experience.

[@jamesthesilver]

It's this British bias that has resulted in McLaren putting out shit products year after year. Fun fact! McLarens depreciate quicker than Maserati products. McLarens reputation is no better than electric cars... Fact.

[@Brian.Jones.310]

Maybe he should have titled the video like 'Issues with a McLaren 750S or Artura' and then the views would have been more.

[@caraddicts6287]

Great episode! I went to Goodwood on Friday & then the Ring on Saturday & Sunday. I was wondering whether I’d see Tony, now that he’s a regular there, but didn’t. I think that some of the faster drivers are also part of the problem at the Ring, taking risks in order to chase times. I was no slouch but there was certainly many faster cars there on the day. I was on the concrete section of the Karussell and was dive bombed by a local Boxster Spyder/RS, forcing me wide. If I hadn’t reacted, he would have 100% taken me out. Cars also overtaking inches away on corners, even though I was keeping to the right. Too many crashes this weekend, particularly on the Sunday when the track was closed for around 2 hrs.

[@swiss889]

Totally agree with fos being too busy and unless you have grandstand tickets very poor viewing of the track, don't think I'll bother next year

[@grahamreddel5682]

Tony, I drive regularly between Schaffhausen and Stuttgart on unlimited Autobahn. If you decide to drive fast in the left lane you will have people pulling into the left lane at 100kph. I’ve stoppen driving fast due to health & safety. Now I just relax at 130kph and listen to music. Emergency braking every 5 minutes gets me nervous.

[@cozza819]

46:03. I completely agree. I see Misha taking pretty ridiculous gaps just to gain a couple seconds while in a borrowed car. I know he's a very experienced driver, but sometimes I'm just like that risk isn't worth it at all, especially in someone else's pride and joy.

[@steerj07]

Saw Tony zipping around other drivers on a compilation video the other day around the ring. Taking no prisoners.

Unfortunately McLaren are still suffering from the over production days when quality dropped and was not acceptable for the price of their cars.

My opinion on the McLaren videos not doing well, recently they have felt quite rushed. Your Ferrari reviews have been so beautifully filmed and detailed, the McLaren videos have felt quite half hearted. Almost as if you aren’t that interested but you feel like you should put something out there.

Nobody will be driving the RB17 at full pelt. It'll be like the Ferrari corsa cliente programme. They'll get some help going round the track at probably 50% their potential but it'll feel amazing because the owners will have never experienced anything like it before. RBR themselves will go for a few records with their F1 drivers to show the full potential and that will be that. I suspect at these track days Red Bull setup, they'll bring a long an F1 driver with their own car to give owners a hot lap at full pelt.
