Holy cow, this footage is off the charts! I watched Misha's last night and it was mind-blowing. I can't believe I get to see this lap from your POV too. What an exhilarating and incredible ride, guys! It's easy to go fast in new cars, but driving these cars fast and on the edge is so much more thrilling and the skill shows.
@@RobinVaessenthanks for posting this lap that was Misha’s Rabbit!! Epic! Looks like you had a little sliding early maybe as tires were warming up? Looks like your suspension is a bit stiffer? A little bounce in the carousel? Great smooth drive! You were pulling away from Misha till you hit traffic here and there. Is your car a type R or modified to run like one? Nice job on setting up your car, great skills, and wearing a helmet :) Would be cool to see drivers exchange cars for another lap!? I’m liking and subscribing! Hope you get as much TH-cam followers as you’d like! I had a’92 Integra that I learned to drive on some track days. Had H&R springs that mimicked Integra Type R stock rates, and tokiko 5 way struts, poly bushings. Driving instructor said it was really neutral for a fwd car. Respect and safe travels 🙏
100%. I have an EP3 Type R and just returned from a night time country lane drive. To say it was engaging and exhilarating is an understatement. I’ve driven much more powerful modern hatches and coupes but not many come close to the feeling you get from a light high revving naturally aspirated car
Great run Robin, watching that from Misha's perspective was fun as hell. It's awesome I get to see your view as well. Cheers & good fortune at the track!
This lap was smoother than Mishas driving. It felt like he had to drive the shit out of the car. Even if your car is slightly faster it's still impressive given how many hours Misha puts down at the ring each year.
Watching Misha's POV, I assumed it was going to be CHOAS in the cockpit but you are soooo smooth and relaxed in there. Fun to watch the lateral g's move your stick shift around.
Awesome drive! He looked like he was working his ass off to keep up, and I expected to see the same from your perspective. Only to see that the whole run was insanely smooth and with an awesome line. Great drive!
Mate to make Misha work to keep up with you in his proving ground takes some doing AND in a car that needs to be driven on the edge to go fast. All the while being respectful of others and track etiquette, Much respect to you!
I saw the other video with the red Honda and was actually wondering who was sending that black Hondiggity Misha was chasing. I'm glad you posted this video and nice driving. Hearing that motor scream angrily brought back memories of the Integra Type R in the original Gran Tourismo! Kudos
Misha was driving a car that weighs 700 lbs more and had a passenger. I have both cars an EF hatch with a B series and an EP3 with a full K20Z3 swap 6 speed LSD with Hondata. The EF hatch is a monster in the twisties.
Watching your perspective and seeing you have possibly a bit more to get out of the car really puts into perspective just how much Misha was absolutely SENDING IT 😂. Great lap and great car.
Impressively smooth. In Mishas video, it was obvious that you were lightning fast, and from your POV it just looks like your headed to the grocery store. Great driving.
This car looks so totally planted, you can tell right away that it is driver by its owner. Behind, Misha had so much fun, still had to work hard to keep up with you. Congrats!
Seeing how well the car is set up, how well you're able to lean into your Civic shows off you and your car's amazing capability. It also, however shows off how monstrous Misha was. He had a passenger in car that was much heavier and still managed to keep up. Personally I think all of you are insane, but that's just a testament to both of your skills as drivers, I'll definitely keep watching your onboards.
There was still a lot more to put in that lap! But was my 7th lap or so that weekend with the new setup.. Still had to get used a little but and get the trust back after some weeks off track..
hello robin ,just came over from mishas channel, your car is beatiful and in a nice setup you just earned my subscription. i really miss my EF now. cheers from greece!
When I was watching Misha’s upload of this lap, I was constantly thinking to myself…. “This guy ahead, Knows His lines!” 😁 If it wasn’t for traffic, I genuinely feel You in this older (but incredibly cool civic) would have gapped Him even more! Great Lap and I bet it was a blast! (One thing I will say from a TH-cam standpoint though…..Get yourself a rear facing Go-Pro, as seeing Misha trying to run you down from that perspective would have been GOLDEN!) ✌️
Amazing run. just watched both runs and i got impressed so much by your driving, lines, weight transfers and the way you'r so calm. absolute amazing driving
Just watched it from Misha's channel and from "his" car.. what a great lap for you both and looked super fun! Great driving! And great car build as well clearly!
J'ai vue les deux vidéo c'était incroyable comment micha ce battait pour te suivre et quand ont voie ta vidéo la conduite et différente ta voiture bouge vraiment pas et ne jump pas c'est impressionnant la facilité..
Gaaf om ook bij jou aan boord te zijn, was een hele leuke lap jullie samen! Zo zie je maar, je hebt net zoveel (zo niet meer) lol in een Honda als een of andere Porsche. Dank voor het delen ❤
Beste Robin, ik neem mijn petje af voor jouw run met Mischa. Prachtige lijnen, veel momentum gehouden en wat een gave sleeper van een pocket rocket! You make a Dutchman proud! 👌🏻
Awesome drive, sweet car , what a gear change and turn in, which I noticed the turn-in when following you with misha initially, it just sits into the corner beautifully - it looks like you’ve hit the sweet spot with your car, set up and driving ability - chapeau 👍
Duuuude, i watched that lap from Misha's pov yesterday and i commented on the driver infront who had him struggling to keep up. My guy you drive that car like you stole it!!😅 Really well built car you got there, and it sounds amazing when driven to the limit!
You should ask Misha to link this in his description man, I wanted to see your POV. The OEM check engine light for a shift light is great. Great ride, stay safe. (subbed)
All said, I say you drove, very very well. Even with a slightly better power to weight ratio, to stay in front of Misha takes some doing. You are a ace pilot.
Great driving and great lap ! The car drives much more effortlessly compared to the ep3.Really smooth and early on the power.Well done! This makes me miss my old EK hatch again 😮.
And now i understand even further. Your car is infinitely better tuned both in ECU and suspension aspects. Great work. Where can we see some specs? And also who tuned it?
@@enfantterrible4868 EP3 is also not that capable of what many people believe. The 4th to 6th gen civics with their double wishbone suspension all around and lower center of gravity gives them a huge plus.
@@future62 weight is not the factor, especially if the suspension is able to handle them when going downwards. In this case you saw that the suspension of an EP3 is not able to handle IT.
Awesome lap Robin. I got dual screens for my PC and Sync'd yours and Misha's lap and played them together. Your lap was calm and smooth, you made it look easy and didn't miss a beat, not even feeling the need to thrash the Bollox out of the engine to get the best from it. I do believe that Type R is a little quicker, as Misha was catching you when you were also on full Gas. Would be interesting to know how many laps you completed on the Ring. You got some talent right there, for sure, and need signing up alongside David Pittard. Awesome Video, Subbed and hope to see more of the same.

Robin's lap felt much much more relaxed than Misha's. The gearing was more suitable. Misha was working very hard to keep up. Epic battle regardless.
I found it yesterday evening, had to post it! Glad you like it.
@@RobinVaessenthanks for posting this lap that was Misha’s Rabbit!!
Epic!
Looks like you had a little sliding early maybe as tires were warming up?
Looks like your suspension is a bit stiffer? A little bounce in the carousel?
Great smooth drive!
You were pulling away from Misha till you hit traffic here and there.
Is your car a type R or modified to run like one?
Nice job on setting up your car, great skills, and wearing a helmet :)

Can someone please edit both videos into the same screen. Now that would be EPIC!!! Great driving from both. Thats what its all about.
Lol misha had to drive like an absolute maniac to keep up
This lap was smoother than Mishas driving. It felt like he had to drive the shit out of the car.
Even if your car is slightly faster it's still impressive given how many hours Misha puts down at the ring each year.
Valid but Misha is also going from an awd bmw to a rwd camaro to a fwd civic lol nobody will know someone else's car as good as they would their own
He also had to drag along a tall passenger!
Misha no gloves no helmet just tug it out😂
@@rafaelfavela77this :)
This car is so much tighter in everyway than what Misha was driving, however, the skill it took for Misha to keep up is quite notable 😂😂 obviously.
Misha tried and tried , he couldnt get ya! well done bro
I have never seen @mgcharoudin struggle this much before 😂😜 very enjoyable video bro.
It’s amazing to see what these old EF chassis are capable of on track ! Great lap ! Can’t wait to get with my sedan again on the ring
100 times more fun to drive than the new chassis
@@MR99TH9Yup
Watched the lap from Misha's car, lovely driving, smooth lines and very much under control!
Watching Misha's POV, I assumed it was going to be CHOAS in the cockpit but you are soooo smooth and relaxed in there. Fun to watch the lateral g's move your stick shift around.
Shifter was excited too 😂
Awesome drive! He looked like he was working his ass off to keep up, and I expected to see the same from your perspective. Only to see that the whole run was insanely smooth and with an awesome line. Great drive!
I completely agree, Misha was having to wring the neck off the other car.
haha yes I had the same experience but I also think that it looks more violent with a pedal cam.
Misha was working those hard
Agree! exactly what i was thinking
Thought the same. From this perspective it looks almost boring while Misha was fighting
Both of your driving was absolutely perfect. Great to watch.
Cheers for that!

It's still TF.. and always respectfull to other drivers!
This is why i love bseries than k series hearing that crispy vtec
B sound in the EF. Yes
I had to come see your onboard lap, and subscribe!
The EF looks way more stable especially at speed, great driving

With an 80kg advantage but very well driven, you certainly made Misha work for he’s money with that lap 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
😌👊🏻🏁
I love the check engine light being used as a shift light! :D
Brilliant drive! You hit every apex that I could see from Misha's camera perspective.
Impressively smooth. In Mishas video, it was obvious that you were lightning fast, and from your POV it just looks like your headed to the grocery store. Great driving.
Video edition x2
They told me the Currywurst store was closing... So I had to go!
This car looks so totally planted, you can tell right away that it is driver by its owner. Behind, Misha had so much fun, still had to work hard to keep up with you. Congrats!
The car is just so easy to drive for me! Never steps out, she just listen to me 😜

wow, I saw the Misha video a couple days ago and thought "man, that guy in front can drive". Good job, that'd be a blast
Perfect. Misha was absolutely giving it all. It was like watching two old rivals at Bathurst.
That awesome VTek-Sound never gets old!
The LEGEND to take down MISHA❤
Super smooth and so early on the power compared to Misha's lap. Thanks for posting.
Anytime! :)
You Sir made that look easy compared to misha. Goes to show what skill and a proper sorted chassis can do. great driving.
There was still a lot more to put in that lap! But was my 7th lap or so that weekend with the new setup.. Still had to get used a little but and get the trust back after some weeks off track..
What a great drive. Love the B18 song, nicely driven.

Seen misha’s vid yesterday and that ep3 really struggled to keep up and he was pushing hard as hell . Real drivers
What a nice and smooth drive! :) well done. Congrats.
Thankyou!
Great driving. Sure gave Mischa a hard time. Whould be great if you had a rear view camera also. Keep it up.
Too bad I have only 1 GoPro... Think they need to sponsor me one haha..
Two things take into note for Misha, heavier car and is with a passenger

Some solid driving, very capable civic! enjoyed the video ;)
You two made such a great video. That thing is rapid for an EF!
Grandma's car can go fast haha!
Amazing and capable little Honda with superb driving! I enjoyed so much watching yours and Misha's videos! Thanks mate!
You're welcome!
Amazing run. just watched both runs and i got impressed so much by your driving, lines, weight transfers and the way you'r so calm. absolute amazing driving
This was one of my dreams that came thru. Watching you from Misha’s car was pleasure. Also it was funny how he said “is this a Crx :)) “ EForever 😝
New subscriber here, I saw the Micha lap and yours were smoother haha, excelent and enjoyable both. Regards from Argentina.
was hoping to see this POV. Killer lap
Such a thrilling battle to watch. Also, amazing build and amazing driving!
Thank you so much! 😌
Awesome driving man, keep showing the world what an "Golden Era" civic can do 🤟🏾.
It's cool you can see Misha in your helmets reflection.
I’ve seen the footage from Misha’s channel and all I can say is that Civic EF is damn quick!! Both of you are driving so good!!
Nice i was hoping for This and it randomly popped up on me feed. Total awesomeness
Great driving! Now I'm gonna watch it from Misha's perspective.
This is real fwd racing skill
Nice run ✌🏽
I saw both videos 👏
Congrats from Portugal
Sick car and great driving.. Absolutely love these Hondas.
After watching both pov i gotta say, this car is much better tuned than the ep3, specially the suspension
Amazing driver skills, well done!! You got a new subscriber. Keep sharing!
Hugs from Portugal
Appreciate that!
Well setup car and super smooth driving!
Just watched it from Misha's channel and from "his" car.. what a great lap for you both and looked super fun! Great driving! And great car build as well clearly!
Couldn't do it with help from a lot of friends!

You now have the most legendary EF. Great driving
I wish aha!
Great Lap and great car ! Thank you for sharing.
Epic stuff, good to see it from your perspective 👌
i thought it was agood idea to watch both videos at same time so 6.49 for you and misha's video watch at 9.21 really gives you a cool perspective
Seeing that dashboard brings back memories of my trusted old CRX...miss that little rocket like crazy, they don't make them like that anymore.

B is so different then a K series. The Powerband is better then my B. Anyways, it was a nice one, cheers mate!
amazing driving skills! And the car is being built properly for track
It is! Thanks for the support 🍀👊🏻
Somehow this onboard is less stressful than inside the red civic. I guess I will always like the B-series better than the K-series. Great video!
Thankksss!
Misha was getting a sweat on trying to keep up 😂
Well handling car, good driving. Props.
Auf diese Perspektive habe ich gewartet , euer Rennen war richtig Geil 🎉🎉 das hätte ich auch gerne erlebt

Like it RAW!
