TRADING CARS with The Hamilton Collection! Steve's Nerves to the TEST

[@Unc_Talks]

I think you have the best maintenance habits out of all car youtubers. Pointing out the dates on the tires.. LOL. Always protecting, charging, and cleaning your fleet.. Love it...

[@Shmee150]

Gotta be safe with this stuff, especially on sketchy tarmac like here

[@rustler08]

Absolutely mandatory in a car you don't know or are buying. Especially if you're sending it. You would be surprised what you see on lower-mileage cars, some still sitting on the original production tires

[@hafnium911]

Totally agreed! I would buy a car from shmee without looking at it :)

[@atodaso1668]

@@rustler08 Its why so many people crash the old vipers. Its not just that they have no tech to save you, but many are super low miles on 20 year old tires!

[@BullySmasher]

@@Shmee150Have you driven Watkins Glen, by any chance, Tim?

[@HochmanFabricationAndSpeed]

Thank you for driving this 918 hard on track and showing the world how good our exhaust work sounds! And thanks to Steve for making it possible!

[@ashwinsuraj4416]

That is probably the best sounding 918 i have ever heard.. u guys did a phenomenal job 👏🏻

[@TheHamiltonCollection]

Till next time! We’ll see you in chicago!🙌🏼

[@rolandr9457]

Big salute TheHamiltonCollection :)

[@cameronsmith2686]

Can we all admire how good of a driver shmee really is! Smashing the content as always!

[@jeoboden]

Steve: This is full send! Shmee: I haven't even warmed the tires yet! 😂😂

[@georgeengland2797]

Ahhhh Willow Springs..... The one track where you do not want to get it wrong. No runoff anywhere. So many memories of getting it wrong on this track on Gran Turismo, but when you get it right and nail every corner, it's definitely one of the most satisfying tracks to drive.

[@BullySmasher]

It’s the oldest race track in the country as well.

[@truenoguy4159]

@@BullySmasher Not even close Indianapolis Speedway opened in 1909 and if you just want to talk road courses, Watkins Glen became a permanent circuit one year before Willow Springs and held races using parts of the roadway even before that

[@MrAspell]

Tim's ability on track is just going from strength to strength 👌🏻 great driving, great video 👍🏻

[@RidgeRunner4501]

I love how giddy with excitement Shmee is to get to drive the 918

[@Shmee150]

Who wouldn't be!!

[@strawdemindset]

Steve: Your not easing in, this is full send Shmee: Just warming the tires LOOOOL

[@HuracanST]

The 918 is an epic car. So happy that Shmee got to drive it.

[@leezo2123]

Look good in the garage Tim

[@MGAFFY]

Best sounding 918 I've heard, also fantastic driving as usual Tim!

[@mpedrozax1]

I love your racetrack content especially how you split screen it. It may not exactly match what you see, but it does give the viewer some idea of track conditions. Any other tracks for this visit with your black series?

[@COLOURFULLENGLISH]

That 918 suits you

So now you are the guy that shows people how to realy drive their cars. Misha is proud i think.

[@antonyonyango6670]

Shmee is a a racer KZbinr on the track, love the way he is always on top of maintenance and other mechanical feel of his fleet and other people fleet

[@DaftFader]

Shmee is such an under rated driver imo. The way he casually corrects for the tyres almost breaking loose at 100mph+ like it's nothing. I'd love to see how well he would do in one of cleetus's youtuber races, that'd be really interesting!

[@TamagoHead]

And wise to keep the TC on as well! Great stuff!

[@noahdrake6502]

Tim this video is proof of how much time and focus you put into your driving! Even Mr Hamilton can't help but grip the seats when you're behind the wheel! Serious skills Shmee!

[@C.Brooks]

Dude's.... Shmee's enthusiasm is so contagious... Thank you for chasing your dreams down and making them realities Tim. It's so inspiring. Well, time to smile for 17 minutes straight!!!!

[@AmeerHamza-nv2ei]

One of your best videos ever! Keep the collabs coming tim! CHEERS!

[@Shmee150]

Thank you!

[@StewChicken42]

I like the setup of the track part of the video - love the 3 camera setup on screen and the interstitching of the shots of the car from outside+afar. Lovely.

[@augl2702]

I really enjoy watching these collab videos. I hope you got some more videos with them planned! Maybe some... Chiron action? ;)

[@Shmee150]

Stay tuned for later in the tour

[@Treesuss]

The clip at 8:04 where the car goes past… it sounds glorious.

[@izakjanneke2653]

Very nervous laughs coming from Steve on the track Tim you really are a good driver on and off the track. One thing I love about you is that you are not taking unnecessary risks and always on top of safety.

[@EderRios11]

That 918 sounds gorgeous!! Shout out to Steve and the Hamilton Collection!

[@mikespink1965]

What a sound! Loved the fact you just went for it from the off

[@IDv8I]

Thanks for the ride along, the Spider is one of my fav cars and you drove it like it should Tim ty. Looking forward to your next encounter with THC family and the rest of your tour. Wish you could stop by the Niagara Falls area in Canada for a fist bump, cheers.

[@mikelane8550]

I’ve always loved the 918 but with that exhaust, it really adds that little bit that was missing. 😍

[@AlfaQV100]

THAT WAS AMAZING. I’ve watched hundreds of your videos, but this is my favorite so far. The camera angle showing your hands on the steering wheel and speedometer is epic. You definitely pushed the 918 harder than the owner ever has. Love it!

[@MarMPB]

Now that’s a proper soundtrack for the 918 Spyder! Can’t forget that it’s the car that succeed the wonderful Carrera GT!🤩

[@maggisoop]

You can tell the difference in excitement levels of shmee’s driving experiences and he really enjoyed this one! What a dream car to be able to full send on track!

[@EntwillightoJ]

I love how Tim keeps saying its ridiculous and sending it instantaneously😅😅😆😆

[@paulkrapp]

A friend of mine lived in Rosamond. My wife and I spent a week there for his wedding which was at the summit of Mt. Pinos. We are avid mountain bikers. One day I borrowed his road bicycle and rode from Rosamond to Willow Springs Raceway. Keep in mind that it was 115 degrees! When I arrived at the track, they said nothing was planned for that day. The track officials told me that I was welcome to ride the track on the bicycle! I may be the only person in history to ride a bicycle from Rosamond to the track, ride all the way around it and ride back to Rosamond in 115 degree heat!

[@fritzrossouw4458]

You really know your way around a track in fast cars! Well done sir. Those many many laps on the nordschleife show in your skill around other tracks. Great vlog with Steve and the rest of the team at Hamilton Collection.

[@MEchanicAL_LSTAR]

As soon as you started going up the hill it gave me flashbacks to riding on the flatbed of a tow vehicle with the camera crew during filming a movie that used one of our race cars.

[@Mrbulletfire]

what an incredible sound from that exhaust, might be my new fav!

[@craigy141085]

Steve’s 918 is a thing of beauty Some serious driving there Tim, awesome 😎

[@rmk1283]

I like all the different camera angles in the car. Nice driving Tim!

[@Firleman]

I find it amazing to see how much you improved your circuit racing/driving every time we get to see you going on track. It's such a huge difference between one of your first track video's compared to now! Amazing!!! Really love that you do this, also with your own cars. Exactly what I would do if I ever get such a car. Would be terrified though haha

[@ThePaulo3859]

Hats off shmee you are killing it with your content. Long time subscriber here. Keep killing it man. You deserve your success.

It seems like Steve haven't had good experiences with other people driving his cars, and is in shock of how good a driver Tim is. Smashing content as always.

[@andredias95]

@@rocklobster9448 Yeah I'm aware of that, but it wasn't really at speed. Nor the drivers fault.

With you out in the 918 you were doing warm up laps and he said you were going full send , he nearly pooped when you really went flat out 😂😅🤣🤪

[@kevmagill5163]

Epic car, one of my favorites and it sounded like a pure FI race machine...Great driving Tim, and the split screen really gave the viewpoints we wanted to see. Awesome video as always, don't forget your Willow Springs sticker!

Great drive Tim! Is a pleasure to see you driving!

[@jjl7488]

Love the omega x swatch mission to the sun! Looks great with the gt black series yellow.

I mean that's how 918 should sound like in the first place. Man that high pitch tho.

[@karunnagraj8249]

Thank you 😊

Gosh a Lanzante P1 GTR and a Diablo GTR. That's some really rare stuff.

[@dsr874]

Great to see some more on track content! Would probably change out the maintenance crew at Willow Springs though. The track looks terrible! Looking forward to a good few more weeks in the US!

[@Shmee150]

It needs some major rework for sure

[@brandonburr4900]

I don't believe Steve has done his research when Tim is in track mode ! Seen enough of Tim drivi g on the track that he wasn't pushing this Porsche to the limits but Steve might have thought otherwise lol. You should invite Steve to Germany to properly drive one of these in anger on the ring...and with newer tires 😀 hopefully Steve has them tires changed soon. Always love seeing to drive a car in anger on a race track! Last person I think I remember watching race this track was Randy probst . Yoir in good company Tim!

[@sr6646]

It sounds amazing with the straight pipe exhaust

[@JeftaDavid]

Awesome video, Steve is a great guy 👍🏼

[@kareemz4244]

Best sounding 918, hands down. My god, if they had just made it sound like that from the factory, it would’ve been the favorite out of the holy trinity.

[@petrolgene]

We need Mr. Hamilton to join you for lap around the ring in one of your cars. That would be hilarious hahah

[@Shmee150]

That sounds like a plan

[@nigeljeremy134]

just wow tim your driving skill is so good i really hope i can meet you in the future keep up the good work and please stay safe mate 🍻

[@slcncr]

Another great video. The scenery on that racetrack ... Also filmed in Misha Charoudin Style. What is kinda weird: Big part of Steve`s business is wheels and tires, but he still hasn´t managed to put some newer rubber on the Nein 18 ?

[@Henry-sk2dr]

Would be interesting to see a track event between Austin Speed Phenom and Tim Schmee 150. Not a heads up, that could be dangerous. A timed track event at a sanctioned track with similarly balanced cars. Might be fun .

[@carsandchronos]

Great video, great car

[@captain_context9991]

OMG just the STATE of American race tracks.... This would not stand up to any kind of international standard for racing tracks. And this is one of the best tracks America has to offer.
