Thank you for going on this ride with us! Was a pleasure meeting you and being able to show this awesome car on the Nordschleife. Nice to see you enjoyed it!
Bro that was intense. It became apparent when that other car passed you and accelerated away that you were taking it some what easy. That would explain how completely calm, almost bored your expressions were.
Left that Porsche 911 in the mirrors on that final straight-it’s was like👋🏻👋🏻dooi (Aston Martin-- valkeryi territory, that vehicle is. My thoughts are. ✌️very nice thanks.
@@soujon_supercars Well... I'm with Misha on this one, I'd rather take a ride with a really good one handed driver rather than a ham fisted, over confident, inexperienced two arm driver
He's not only driving with ONE HAND, but often times through gentle turns he's driving with *two fingers* while he uses the others to actuate the paddle and he does it while looking like he's commuting in a Camry. Wild.
Pretty crazy, I think he looked so relaxed because he wad actually taking it some what easy. Maybe because of having a guest in the car? That would explain how he looked literally bored at 250 km/h
As a car and sim racing enthusiast who also happens to be an above elbow amputee, this kind of content breaks down barriers. When I lost my arm 27 years ago at the age of 16, I didn’t know what was next for me. I was introduced to another amputee that figured out how to adapt and built custom components to surf and mountain bike with one arm. That introduction changed my entire life. Seeing Marcus tearing it up in that 700hp beast on the Nordschleife not only inspires, but can unlock the mindset to push on and figure out a new way to do what makes you happy. Thanks for sharing!
Misha, I often instruct at "supercar experience days" and I often tell the customers, if you can put me to sleep while driving spirited you are an experienced driver... They all look at me like a madman, but you in this video just proves my point. You don't have to be aggressive to be fast flowing around a track. When they get it right, this happens!
You can learn alot about racing just from playing gran turismo, knowing when to brake and trying new strategies around bends trying out different apexes, you can also turn on the setting that shows you the optimal path and changes colors to show you when to brake, getting your license in that game is harder than the actual driving test, id like to see one of these soccer moms do 3 laps around a small circle in the rain in a 500hp corvette where you gotta keep the car loose the entire time, we have all the simulators but we never use them it always treated like a toy, but yet it’s good enough to teach pilots
@@williambarringer6513I play gran turismo and I can agree on this, and I’m also a pilot lol and yes simulators like x plane 11 are used for commercial use and training in airlines and flight schools
The best advice iv kept with me is the "slow is fast" rule. Sometimes you need to scrub off more speed for a corner than you want to because you feel like you are going too slow, but the exit always makes up for it. Slow and steady wins the race.
you could be sitting next this sweet older guy, enjoying a bratwurst and a beer and never have any idea that he could own the Green Hell like that. That's Porsche factory driver status. That's grew up around the corner and have run it my whole life status. that one-armed man is a fucking goat.
Absolutely flawless. His right arm must be hard as iron. To the ones saying it's doable try go straight with 270 km/h for sometime and then brake hard with no lane moving and turn on the next S among kerbs near limit without need of correction. No mistakes , never missed a gear , never bumped on a kerb hard . And all this with one hand on a car that weights only 1000kg with 700hp . Not with a polo diesel. Astonishing! Inspiring !! Keep on driving mate. !!
And holding the steering stable while going over all those bumps on the track! Normally gravity pulls your both hands with the same force but in opposite rotation which cancels out. This time it's all gravity vs muscle.
Misha trusts him a lot, that much that he is able to take a nap. Also amazing that whenever Marcus breaks too soon, he wakes up to see what is going on, thats circuit knowledge on point too hahahhaha
I was like wow this dude casually chilling with 1 hand resting on the armrest - took me some time to notice he only had one hand. Doesnt make it any less chill looking. He's living his best live. All the best to him - and im not saying this just because i'd love to go for a ride with him as well.
If you have never driven a racecar on the Nur, you will unfortunatelly never be able to fully appreciate his driving skills. Even with two hands im very sure i could never take that beast so smoothly around that track and be so consistent with my inputs like he was. This dude is an instant legend, incredible
@@williambarringer6513ignore the other guy . You will do very well for a beginner because just knowing the track will instantly make you better than all beginners. There is a reason they use simulators in professional race car academies (Max verstappen being one of the products of sim racing academies) aslong as your using a decent quality wheel pedals with force feedback it will translate very well on a track.
@@williambarringer6513 I have to add to @hebisty4163 that the g-forces and the overall feeling is still overwhelming when you drive it IRL for the first few times. I remember my first laps on the NR very well especially the compression in Fuchsröhre is so intense if you've never experienced it before. It scared the s**t out of me even at somewhat slow speeds (i was doing 180ish).
Misha Charoudin, Thank you for this movie!!! I'am a quadriplegic and also born with a disability. I cried at this movie because it was fantastic to see the one-armed hero racing through the green hell. I love cars, speed, power. As a Hungarian, I couldn't get a driver's license here in Hungary. However, I know that abroad, in other countries, people with much more serious injuries than me can drive cars. It was nice to see that the one-armed hero was able to drive the car with a V10 engine! Congratulations to the driver! ! At least his dream came true.
Not only the fact he is driving the car with one hand and with much precision , he also drives the car calmly and very SAFE! He definitly knows his limits RESPECT !
Single handedly, one of the best videos on this channel. No pun intended. Video really speaks volumes on many levels. Epic driving skills from a very modest man.
Wow, the speeds he’s going and he just looks like he’s out for a Sunday drive, unbelievable! Not worried about people passing him, or passing others, he’s just doing his own thing. Talk about an impressive driver! I’ve got both hands, and even just watching some of the drives on the Ring make me nervous, I can’t imagine driving it myself! (I’ll get there eventually, I’m just not there yet with my driving)
WTF?!?!? Insane!! That´s f'n amazing!! Controling the wheel feedback with just one hand...that´s nuts man! He has more grip in his hands than the tires.
What a TOTAL legend this guy. Despite his handicap, driving with one hand is VERY impressive. What a ride, seems like a great chap. This is surely one to remember!
What a pair of legends! One driving with only one arm whilst the other falls asleep. What a daily commute! I think props are deserved to KTM for building a car so easy to drive a man with one arm can rinse it round the Ring and make it look so effortless!??!!
Rarely I'm impressed but this driver props off to him he's got some serious skills amd the faith in his ability and that car is high level. I'd of loved to be the passenger to experience that. I totally understand the last bit closing his eye feeling the road cause the cars so low and sticking to the track. 😊
His driving is seriously impressive. Insane how calm he is. The steering wheel is a little bit modified, right? So that he is able downshift and upshift on one side?
Here he explains how to shift in the McLaren (from 8.45 min on) th-cam.com/video/kru8SKRBYZs/w-d-xo.html There are no modifications. His others cars are modified to his needs. Very interesting, but in German ;-)
Damn. This car may be light, but the amount of downforce generated by aero is crazy! The first few corners I was expecting anything: slight read slide under acceleration, front locking on braking, anything. But this thing goes as it's on rails. Exceptional track car! I remember my Ariel Atom ride and (power difference aside) it was waaay less balanced.
I've never driven a four wheel KTM, but have owned and ridden a bunch of their bikes. They're light and powerful... but what really sets them apart from anything else I've ever experienced has been the handling. The geometry and weight balance is sublime and they often shrug off road surface issues that should have been catastrophic. Which is a little scary to be honest, because unless you're taking Isle of Man TT or Finke Desert Race levels of speed... well anything less always feels like you're taking it easy on a KTM.
This was the comfiest looking roller coaster ride ever. Man is a legend driving that well one handed and Misha was so soothed and trustworthy he caught a little nap. I love it.
This put tears in my eyes. I don´t know what to say. I feel incredibly impressed by what i just saw, and it humbles me too. Misha just enjoying the ride, eyes closed, not a care in the world.
Bro actually made me feel better It’s been almost two years since my mortercycle crash that left me with my right arm paralyzed and seeing this chad out here going 200+ on a race track into turns and shit had my hopes higher then they ever been I just need a car with multi directional paddles and I can do what ever I want. Thank you sir you’ve proven so much is possible for handicapped people like us
I ride motorcycles and there's older dudes on the track on their 4TH! hip replacement and still rip and drag knee. it's insane! props to this guy! #LEGEND
One arm has made his wheel handling so precise. To a degree our hands compete with one another - this gent has messages going to one hand... and the movement and control is razor sharp.
That was just amazing...Misha clearly trusted the car and the driver...found his happy place on the track...and took a nap. Who does that! Freaking love it!!
It's just amazes me how talented of a Driver this man is with just one hand to operate the car. It goes to show no matter what happens in life life the only person that will hold you back is yourself and this man overcome himself and said I'm going to run like Hell on the green mountains. Much respect for this Man that can drive better then all of us that have 2 hands.
The up shifting gears are so violent or seems that way on camera but the power to weight ratio is crazy too , over 700hp in barely 1ton car 😅 Props to him on the great driving skills with 1 hand
THAT'S THE CAR I WAS WAITING FOR SEEING AROUND N'RING !!! Kudos to the driver, driving around with one hand is one thing, but fast driving in a racing car is on whole another level ...
Holy shyte! I don't recall seeing 305 kph (190 mph) on the speedo before. He is awesome and the car is incredible. After watching this I can see why you chose this title. It would certainly be interesting to see a lap with the race driver.
It definetly looked and sounded like if it had at least one more gear or a slightly longer 6th, it could have gone even faster than 305 kph. What a beast of a car AND a driver.
Alter Schwede, was für ein cooler Typ. Der Kollege hat echt Eier aus Stahl. Wenn er das Lenkrad in Schräglage mit der Handfläche von oben dirigiert. Echt Respekt, Mann! Und die Schaltzeiten von dem Koffer. Ich bin echt begeistert, echtes Traumauto für mich. Gutes Video, Mischa
Fuck me... Now, I have a new goal in life... To drive as smoothly as Soujon! There are F1 DRIVERS who are NOT THAT SMOOTH! Soujon, congratulations, sir, your driving skills are AMAZING. Not a bit of overdriving, everything was spot on, from the throttle, to the braking, to the positioning. Truly amazing! Thank you for this video, you sir gave me a new goal to pursuit!
This video is awesome on so many levels for me… thank you for posting it, Misha. And huge props to the driver, who made running that car (hard!) around the Nürburgring look so damn easy. You sir, are incredible and I’m sure an inspiration to many! You made my day, my friend. 👍👍
I have some bad joints from an accident I had as a teen, and it always discouraged me and made me doubt myself. This is so inspiring, what a legend. My excuses are gone, all that's left, is action!
Nice video, i've been handmaking pretty much all of the carbon fiber parts for this car, from the small parts like the steering wheel to the biggest ones including the canopy roof frame. Nice to see it in action on Nürburing!
Oh yeah? At the KTM factory or on your own? A friend of mine races one of these here in the U.S.. My video on it will be out on it in the next week-Cheers Channel: YouOnlyLIVETwice
@@jdmimportlogistics In factory, that is making all the carbon fiber parts for KTM. They are making street legal version of that car too. But i left the company a year ago, now i am working at Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe in Cologne, Germany, which is FAR more interesting.
even with 3 hands, 2 nearly cold welded into the wheel out of fear, and 1 shaking like a jackhammer trying to shift gears and operate other stuff, i still wouldn't dare to drive half as fast as that.
The most incredible looking car I've never heard of, the most incredible sounding engine, and most importantly the most incredible driver I've seen! I'd say that I hope lego could make a set of this car but I haven't been happy with legos car designs lately, but I definitely would love to get a model of this car!
This thing sounds friggin EPIC!!! That is literally one of the best sounding cars I’ve ever heard. Actually satisfying to hear it bang up and down through the gears. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
I wasn’t expecting after your words, “something very extra special”… 1:55 Unbelievably talented’s an understatement. Most people couldn’t do this with a lifetime of training, both arms and both hands. 💯
6:50 is my favorite moment.. You think this guy is zooming until this purple thing goes by and makes him look like he's parked. Blip.. there and gone. What even was that
I couldn't help but keep noticing he takes the same lines as I do when I drive the Ring in iRacing. I like a tiny bit of understeer and I rarely hit a curb. Of course I need two hands to even come close to his results!! Mad respect.
WOW!! Guys driving looks really good. Car sounds great, and reaaally fast. I always find it to be an indredible amount of trust of the driver, when Misha closes his eyes and runs the lap with all other senses than the eyes.
Its so cool to see the levels of passion when watching professionals in the zone, whatever they're doing, i can see how calm you get. That amount of focus is insane for most humans; you can see it in every video bro. Whether you're driving or in the passenger seat dozing off at 230kmph hahaha! Love the videos man.
I never in my life felt genuine fear but also fully impressed at his skill and comfort to handle his vehicles at green hell with such ease all while manually shifting the vehicle. I couldn't imagine him with both hands, this is the stuff of legends!
So smooth!!!! Completely feather light touch with the controls. It reminds me of the way Jackie Stewart instructed drivers; fast is slow and smooth is fast. Flowing control, from brake to gas and steering 👌 perfection.
You know why now I really started to like this channel? Not only Misha (privet) is a good, solid man who actually cares about his profession and his customers, but I'm also very happy to see that people with disabilities can enjoy life too! It's truly amazing :)
this video would of been insane with the car alone, or even tje driver driving any other car. but both together is absolutely mind blowing. truly inspiring
Super impressive skills and what a machine. Yet, I wonder why they leave the carbon dash. The reflection in the windshield must be distractive at times.
That was pleasant to watch. Very smooth driving. I also like the controlled way he treats the throttle pedal. Most drivers drop the throttle too harshly and introduce unnecessary transients. His manages to gently blend in the throttle after breaking and downshifting..
Just shows the confidence you have in his ability as a driver and also shows your experience of the track as when he does something like go of line or slow when you would not normally you have a look knowing that's not what you normally do at that point on the track. Really good watch. Love all your videos. Makes me want to take my 350z there or my motorbike, I done abit of racing but I just would love to drive it to enjoy the experience and not go for lap times. Maybe one day.
A man who overcame a disability and drives brilliant enjoy your car's as much as I enjoyed watching,,very skilled as I've two arms and still couldn't drive so fast 🙂👍☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland great video
When we tell you be gentle with the wheel, soft with your inputs, this guy doesn't have a choice. His manner is perfect, never trying to force the car never trying to bully it on to line, taking what he has got and making the most of it 👏
That's so wholesome! You'd imagine your arm would cramp up quickly, so that says a lot about the car and the driver he was able to stay out there for so long.
Let's take a minute to congratulate the one armed driver?owner.... he says he's not a very good driver but in fact he's a crazy good driver... He's doing almost 300kph then adjusts something on the steering wheel, that is amazing. He must have some special skill/strength in his one arm because that is crazy smooth and fast driving on one of the most difficult race tracks in the world. Well done sir!!!
I’m watching in amazement and thinking there’s no way anyone or any car could go faster than this…and then the prototype passes at 6:45. That’s ridiculous! Thanks for the awesome ride!

Exactly. He almost looks bored!

Pretty sure that's chorizo in his other hand.

plus robotic arms are quite advanced nowadays, and possibly in the future, can be permanently attached and controlled directly by the original nerves

167 really isn't all that fast. On that track it would certainly feel like it though. It would be fun to take a Ninja H2R on that.
He hit 302kph which is equal to 188mph....definitely not as easy as you think especially in a car
You could also see he was driving way under his limits. He has excellent restraint.
The amount of strength needed to do all this stuff one handed is incredible! What a smooth driver, perfect ring taxi and THAT SOUND!
On full slicks it's a workout!!!

He looks more calm and relaxed while driving this beast then some people taking the tea !
Best video you produced
I like how he went full Dale Earnhardt open face helmet
Again thanks for the greatest ride along so far and maybe ever
It's almost like the car/driving puts you into a trance. :o
He drove indeed verrry smooth!
yeh i found it oddly calming even watching
The sound alone already is very soothing 🙂
That was just amazing...Misha clearly trusted the car and the driver...found his happy place on the track...and took a nap. Who does that! Freaking love it!!
I wonder if he was visualizing the track...
@@mikealfieri641 I bet he knew exactly where he was on the track even with his eyes closed too!
He may have one hand, but he definitely has more balls than anyone!
Amazing and pure man.
What a mad lad. He's just chilling like he's cruising in an S class. That machine is a mental bit of kit too.
It's just amazes me how talented of a Driver this man is with just one hand to operate the car. It goes to show no matter what happens in life life the only person that will hold you back is yourself and this man overcome himself and said I'm going to run like Hell on the green mountains. Much respect for this Man that can drive better then all of us that have 2 hands.
The up shifting gears are so violent or seems that way on camera but the power to weight ratio is crazy too , over 700hp in barely 1ton car 😅
Props to him on the great driving skills with 1 hand
Its crazy how easy and comfortable he makes it all look. That’s Awesome!
THAT'S THE CAR I WAS WAITING FOR SEEING AROUND N'RING !!!
Kudos to the driver, driving around with one hand is one thing, but fast driving in a racing car is on whole another level ...
Best video on this Channel of 2022 in my humble opinion. The raw power and uncushioned experience of this car must be overwhelming.
Mate this guy is flying through the lap with one hand. I wouldn’t be able to keep up with two hands. Legendddddddd
Misha I love how you close your eyes to get the feeling and the hole experience from it...simply great - thanks for letting us join in your passion!
Holy shyte! I don't recall seeing 305 kph (190 mph) on the speedo before. He is awesome and the car is incredible. After watching this I can see why you chose this title. It would certainly be interesting to see a lap with the race driver.
yes...305 kph and 150 hrm as passanger. Very cool driver
Truly an insane machinery. You can watch the lap on the Red Bull Ring driven by Reinhard Kofler on our TH-cam Channel!
@@soujonsupercars Nice driving my friend! Thank you for taking us on a lap :)
It definetly looked and sounded like if it had at least one more gear or a slightly longer 6th, it could have gone even faster than 305 kph. What a beast of a car AND a driver.
he's the pagani guy!! much respect
Alter Schwede, was für ein cooler Typ. Der Kollege hat echt Eier aus Stahl. Wenn er das Lenkrad in Schräglage mit der Handfläche von oben dirigiert. Echt Respekt, Mann! Und die Schaltzeiten von dem Koffer. Ich bin echt begeistert, echtes Traumauto für mich. Gutes Video, Mischa
Thank you Misha for sharing this. It was very impressive to see his skill at driving even with his disability. Inspiring is an understatement.
As soon as I saw the intro and heard that amazing engine sound I knew it was a KTM GT2!
It’s the calmness, the relaxed confidence and smooth flawless driving that is impressive.
Absolute mad driving skills!!
This man truly is the epitome of the phrase “No excuses.”
The camera quality how it captures the speed is so insane, but other than that how he drives the car one handed without any fear is so incredible
Fuck me... Now, I have a new goal in life... To drive as smoothly as Soujon!
There are F1 DRIVERS who are NOT THAT SMOOTH!
Soujon, congratulations, sir, your driving skills are AMAZING. Not a bit of overdriving, everything was spot on, from the throttle, to the braking, to the positioning.
Truly amazing! Thank you for this video, you sir gave me a new goal to pursuit!
This video is awesome on so many levels for me… thank you for posting it, Misha. And huge props to the driver, who made running that car (hard!) around the Nürburgring look so damn easy. You sir, are incredible and I’m sure an inspiration to many! You made my day, my friend. 👍👍
I have some bad joints from an accident I had as a teen, and it always discouraged me and made me doubt myself. This is so inspiring, what a legend. My excuses are gone, all that's left, is action!
Nice video, i've been handmaking pretty much all of the carbon fiber parts for this car, from the small parts like the steering wheel to the biggest ones including the canopy roof frame. Nice to see it in action on Nürburing!
Oh yeah? At the KTM factory or on your own? A friend of mine races one of these here in the U.S.. My video on it will be out on it in the next week-Cheers
Channel: YouOnlyLIVETwice
@@jdmimportlogistics In factory, that is making all the carbon fiber parts for KTM. They are making street legal version of that car too. But i left the company a year ago, now i am working at Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe in Cologne, Germany, which is FAR more interesting.
Can you not make your mate a nice carbon Arm then please
Davvero? Dv lavori?
even with 3 hands, 2 nearly cold welded into the wheel out of fear, and 1 shaking like a jackhammer trying to shift gears and operate other stuff, i still wouldn't dare to drive half as fast as that.
You know this man is a smooth, considerate driver. I was hoping that he would stay in the throttle longer in some sections but wow.
The most incredible looking car I've never heard of, the most incredible sounding engine, and most importantly the most incredible driver I've seen!
I'd say that I hope lego could make a set of this car but I haven't been happy with legos car designs lately, but I definitely would love to get a model of this car!
The sounds that that car makes is music in itself...Fantastic!
This thing sounds friggin EPIC!!! That is literally one of the best sounding cars I’ve ever heard. Actually satisfying to hear it bang up and down through the gears. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
His relaxed demeanor seems to translate directly to the car. So smooth and yet so fast. What a driver! What a car!
The pure class and smoothness of the driver combined with Misha dozing off makes this video priceless :D
I wasn’t expecting after your words, “something very extra special”… 1:55
Unbelievably talented’s an understatement. Most people couldn’t do this with a lifetime of training, both arms and both hands. 💯
6:50 is my favorite moment.. You think this guy is zooming until this purple thing goes by and makes him look like he's parked. Blip.. there and gone. What even was that
What car was that? He passed him on warp speed
@@doktormedicine13 KTM X-Bow GT2 track version. Same car but not made road legal.
I couldn't help but keep noticing he takes the same lines as I do when I drive the Ring in iRacing. I like a tiny bit of understeer and I rarely hit a curb. Of course I need two hands to even come close to his results!! Mad respect.
WOW!! Guys driving looks really good. Car sounds great, and reaaally fast.
I always find it to be an indredible amount of trust of the driver, when Misha closes his eyes and runs the lap with all other senses than the eyes.
Its so cool to see the levels of passion when watching professionals in the zone, whatever they're doing, i can see how calm you get. That amount of focus is insane for most humans; you can see it in every video bro. Whether you're driving or in the passenger seat dozing off at 230kmph hahaha! Love the videos man.
Not always is passion matched with talent or ability. Sometimes it is :-) Very cool!! Thanks to the owner for sharing the ride 👍
I never in my life felt genuine fear but also fully impressed at his skill and comfort to handle his vehicles at green hell with such ease all while manually shifting the vehicle. I couldn't imagine him with both hands, this is the stuff of legends!
That was a very special lap in many ways.
Much respect.
So smooth!!!! Completely feather light touch with the controls.
It reminds me of the way Jackie Stewart instructed drivers; fast is slow and smooth is fast. Flowing control, from brake to gas and steering 👌 perfection.
6:44 The Villian enters the race and damn is he fast.
Lol I was so impressed with this driving and vehicle when I saw dude walk past him I was like oh... Okay.. someone wants to play 😵😂🤦🏻♂️
What was the car? Was that another X-Bow?
@@misutatomasu Yes
May God Bless him.. So inspiring, He really cool and calm while with his 1 hand . THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO . THE EXHAUST SOUND like an F1 too
Respect! What a Legend🙏🏼👊🏼
It takes a Beast to master a Beast.
And he did it gently.
I keep coming back and enjoy this, even months later.
6:40 who the fuck was that flying by, holy crap.
Gotta upvote.. maybe someone will reply
It's a KTM X-BOW GTX from TEICHMANN RACING. see th-cam.com/video/XxwLpYk2f5I/w-d-xo.html
the car has the spielkind livery so maybe it was felix von der laden
Oh, the smoothness. That's one awesome driver right there. Very very conservative on the equipment maintaining a fast pace. Awesome
You know why now I really started to like this channel?
Not only Misha (privet) is a good, solid man who actually cares about his profession and his customers, but I'm also very happy to see that people with disabilities can enjoy life too!
It's truly amazing :)
this video would of been insane with the car alone, or even tje driver driving any other car. but both together is absolutely mind blowing. truly inspiring
Super impressive skills and what a machine.
Yet, I wonder why they leave the carbon dash. The reflection in the windshield must be distractive at times.
They could have sacrificed a little weight and painted it;)
After reading your comment, I cannot stop looking at it. :-) I would have the dashboard flocked.
Impressive driving with just one arm. Does this car have power steering? Otherwise I would not want to arm wressel this guy.
@@tomwagemans1872 Yes, it has electric (lighter than hydraulic) power steering. This will be the reason the wheel itself appeared pretty calm.
That was pleasant to watch. Very smooth driving. I also like the controlled way he treats the throttle pedal. Most drivers drop the throttle too harshly and introduce unnecessary transients. His manages to gently blend in the throttle after breaking and downshifting..
Missing a hand doesnt mean your disabled has just been proven! What an awsome drive! Great respect for this gentleman and his KTM 👌🏻
Crazy video!! This man driving, wait no... RACING with one hand so calm! Truly remarkable big respects to this man❤ let nothing hold you back!
This guy makes driving around the ring look like a driving an old muscle along a countryside... totally at ease...no words
Just shows the confidence you have in his ability as a driver and also shows your experience of the track as when he does something like go of line or slow when you would not normally you have a look knowing that's not what you normally do at that point on the track. Really good watch. Love all your videos. Makes me want to take my 350z there or my motorbike, I done abit of racing but I just would love to drive it to enjoy the experience and not go for lap times. Maybe one day.
How tired are you?
Misha: "Yes"
Haha can't wait to get to the ring soon (I was the guy that PM'ed you earlier / Mini JCW)
Oh please get Misha in the mini. As a mini owner myself I've been dying to see him do a lap in one!
@@timduncan2211 I will! First need to get some new tyres on the car and a visit to Beek Performance 👀
A man who overcame a disability and drives brilliant enjoy your car's as much as I enjoyed watching,,very skilled as I've two arms and still couldn't drive so fast 🙂👍☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland great video
When we tell you be gentle with the wheel, soft with your inputs, this guy doesn't have a choice. His manner is perfect, never trying to force the car never trying to bully it on to line, taking what he has got and making the most of it 👏
That's so wholesome! You'd imagine your arm would cramp up quickly, so that says a lot about the car and the driver he was able to stay out there for so long.
That’s quite unexpected when you watch a lap of an insanely fast car that is being easily overtaken by another car
What was that car, it was gone in a few seconds
Right? I was blown away by the one-handed driving and then that other car went by them like they were lapping in a Miata
I guess it was the homologated track version of the same GT2.
Let's take a minute to congratulate the one armed driver?owner.... he says he's not a very good driver but in fact he's a crazy good driver... He's doing almost 300kph then adjusts something on the steering wheel, that is amazing. He must have some special skill/strength in his one arm because that is crazy smooth and fast driving on one of the most difficult race tracks in the world. Well done sir!!!
11:47
- Misha: Are we not finished yet?
- Dude: Nope, we continue the track once again
- Misha: But I want to go home 🤭
Mate that's actually mad how smooth he is, huge respect
Wow, this is amazing - and it seems trusting, otherwise there would be no nap time i think :-) Very cool
I’m watching in amazement and thinking there’s no way anyone or any car could go faster than this…and then the prototype passes at 6:45. That’s ridiculous!
Thanks for the awesome ride!
