Respect to Nick, his polite and safe driving is likely the reason that Porsche is still rolling... oh and the 3 engines... 👍
to conservative if you ask me. Car has a lot more in it.
@@Wlodinci wasn’t asking but here’s a question champ, where’s your Porsche lap video?!
@@Stan5o wish he could have a porsche to throw it a video and shut your big mouth, just disrespectful, also you must have a very sad life to deal with that contempt for people you don't know, what a shitty life you have. *EDIT* so you finally swallow your words, told you, that bad attitude won't lead you anywhere
@@Wlodinci not everyone tracking their car is trying to be competitive or driving to the limit of the car.
@@Wlodinci Fast often looks too easy and smooth. Notice how his calm steering input keeps the car stable? And did you notice how many other cars he passed on his lap? Clearly Nick loves to drive on track, his experience, skill and respect for his car shine through.
The car doesn`t need a driver anymore. It has done so many laps that it finds its way alone ...
Smooth. VERY smooth. Smooth inputs to all the controls, smooth line on the track.
Not beating up the car at all, yet turning some serious speed, anticipating two or
three corners forward at all times.
This is how you do it.
Thanks as always for sharing, Misha!

Behavior that no doubt has come from nearly a THOUSAND laps there!! Unreal!
This guy is so smooth! and minimal brake inputs. He's ready for endurance racing
Came for the lap, stayed for the Renault on fire story
Biggest surprise of the lap 😂
“And it wasn’t mine”
Glorious especially because nobody was hurt, just the burn mark on the tunnel ceiling.
The way they should be used, nice
Customers: "How reliable is it?"
Germans: "Ja."
I had a mildly modded 996 GT3 including a Manthey K400 upgrade. Great car and much missed. This is my dream GT3, a 996 with a 4 litre engine. Great driving.
The fact that the car is used so much is mindblowing. Congrats to the owner!
300000 kilometres and 3 engines. Just like my grandfather's hammer: 7 handles and 2 heads.
Did he know Trigger?
That has to be the smoothest Porsche in the world. No drama. It just hopped along happy without any issues.
Loved the 996 ever since I first played NFS Porsche Unleashed. The fried egg headlamps looks good for me. 👍
Same, I love the 996 and I dream of owning a C4S at a certain point of my life
@@WiZe1972 buy one soon. They won’t likely stay this cheap for long.
I see Porsche. I click. I am a simple man. I love your vids Misha!!
Now that was some seriously relaxed, soft and fast Porsch´ing from Nick-Sensei .
Thank you very much, Nick and Misha !
This guy! Wow... Such a smooth and fast lap. Looking for a team mate for 24 hours shenanigans? He is the guy.
Masterful driving, perfect 8/10 pace. Man, machine and track in perfect harmony.
I'm sure the engine, gearbox, suspension parts have been replaced many times, but still getting surprised that the chassis still strong enough to hit on track!
What a great lap in a wonderful car. I really liked the mature driving style with smooth throttle control and minimal gearshifts. It's easy to see there's a few hundred thousand k's on the driver too. 👍✌️
I love the gear ratio on this car, it's like it's meant to be driven on the ring. The owner drives so smooth too
What a nice and relaxed lap! By no means slow, but very controlled and precise on the spot. You can really see what a experienced driver with a well build car is capable of!
What a car. What a build. Amazing passion on this dude.
That was one of the smoothest drives that I've seen around that track...!
That is a very quick 996 - the acceleration out of the corners is very impressive - and very smooth.
950 laps on the ring. I'm sure he can drive around blindfolded. Great driving 👍👍
My fave content .......walk round the car.......chat to the owner..........lap..............loving the Stroker 996 nicely done Nick ......
Man that was SMOOTH! lovely lap, looks like he's just cruising along👌
Fantastic car and Kudos to Nick for being funny and awesome.
Thank You Misha for the usual quality content
3rd engine, good lad !
Always liked the 996 variant & this tidy example shows it's class well !
amazing chap...amazing car....thanks for the great video Misha :)
3:13 "and it wasn't my car" 😂😂😂 epic
Awesome, no drama at all! Glad to see the Brits showing the rest how it should be done! Stay safe all.
Your videos have something special. Can’t put my finger on it, but your videos are the most exciting to watch compared to dozens of others recording laps I’ve seen. I feel like I’m in the seat! Maybe it’s your handheld camera work shoot eye level which provides authentic movement compared to a fixed rig. Whatever the formula is, Keep up the great work! Also really appreciate you laying out the costs involved in other videos.
Thanks! Yeah I try to make it dynamic and it seems to be much appreciated by the majority. 1 or 2 people complain once about getting sea-sick, but oh well.
Great driving. Nice and smooth, obviously plenty in reserve 👍🏼
He's spent roughly 25-26k euro ONLY for entry on Nordschleife. Wow. Just WOW.
When you go this much on tracks you have passes/prices I think
@@Supersky_ i calculated if he would have paid the base price for entering the track, not if he had a subscription
Lessons learned: instead of buying every new Porsche that comes out, taking a huge hit on your “old” one, keep your own and track it more 🙂
This engine sound is pretty awesome. Nice driving. Big like.
That engine sounds so smooth😆
loved the 996 ever since i was a kid watching the scene from gone in 60seconds where they steal the 911 from the showroom
Вот это прям кайф! Какое отношение к авто. Какое вождение! Спасибо Миша за видео!
Fried egg Porsche? Love it so much, like almost every Porsche`s.Greetings all, primarily to the Mr.Nick`s firend!!
Fried egg is the first type of the lights the 996 and boxster had with the orange indicators.
@@testpilot2184 Thanks for a lesson, I have not noticed that yesterday. Greetings!
That flat-6 is so healthy! Porsche is the best of them all...!
listen to that super responsive engine, feels like I'm watching Nick's right leg controlling the throttle. Awesome video!
I love this sort of romanticism and mechanical relation between car and owner. Love it.
I thought I knew that car!
Awesome spec, and it sounds amazing!
I assume this thing is over 300k km now? Love to see it revisited.
what a unit this guy is, i dont even have half that laps in Assetto Corsa on ALL cars combined
It was relaxing to see him drive so smooth 🥰
Man you gotta love that old flat 6 porsche sound
Powerful video ably demonstrating what a fast and relatively undramatic lap looks like.
That’ll be the black wall tunnel no pun intended that he’s talking about 🤣🤣 great vid as always Misha 👌🏻🤟🏻
Good guess but no banana - it was Hanger Lane eastbound in 1978.
@@nxi20 😂👌🏻
@@nxi20 Respect for having a proper ride, using it hard, and driving it well! Dare i ask if you have plans for the future vis a vis the car and potential upgrades or mods?
@@Wirenfeldt1990 There's always minor tinkering but no, this is pretty much it's final incarnation now. I had a 997.2 GT3CS in addition to this car for 5 years but it didn't really get used and this one did. The 997 is gone but this one's a keeper.
@@nxi20 I think I'm still sat in the queue to get past !
He has a ton of experience, he is so precise. No drama is the best kinds of drivers. The tire squealing drivers may get one lap but try driving like that lap after lap good chance u crash eventually
Nearly 300k track kms in a pornsche ? Achievement unlocked. What a legend. Sad to know about the Renault and his friend. GWS to the friend.
Михаил, хочу поблагодарить Вас за этот прекрасный канал, а так же прекрасный английский от человека с русской харизмой! Одно удовольствие слушать! Желаю Вам удачи и бесконечного развития! Привет из Москвы)
Спасибо!
Where’s the tractor? Last time I saw it was on the back of a recovery truck?
I guess I'll make a video soon :D
@@mgcharoudin Thanks...been waiting months for that one.
That Renault 5 story 😂 poor car tho
It is really not so easy to critique via a video but his driving appeared very very smooth, very pleasurable. Maybe not a zero margin lap and some turn ins looked a bit early (wet line ?) but the smoothness was awesome. It really looked like Sunday driving but obviously really fast. That’s the smoothness I’d like to have. (Could he be Jacky Ickx in disguise?)
Bridge to gantry 7:30.
Skilled driver, excellent, sound and a good smooth line with al lot of room for the unexpected
That was the smoothest lap ever. Great driving.
Wow, that looks a lot of fun. What a car and that engine just wanted to Rev, superb.
Super smooothh, yet very bloody quick!!
Yes, yes, yes. Beautiful 996!
Such a smooth bit of driving, very nice!
Proper lap, composed and tidy. Very nice to watch. I've just discovered your channel. Suscribed.
Love this!
Great car, great driver.
Didn’t touch a single kerb.
Nick would be an EXCELLENT endurance racer.
Supernice bloke, great driver. The Egg headlights are somewhat the same as what Subaru did to the Impreza back then. Different, but not fugly. Nicer than nowadays LED headlights for sure. Oldskool boy talking here :)
So smooth driving. Must be a pleasure to just sit there and enjoy it!
3 engines? Crazy. My guess is the no rev match down shifts. Sweet car though. Nice drive
thank you Misha for showing what tyres!!🙏
There are very few people who stay loyal to their car, not selling or scrapping it coz they get old. Looks like this Porsche has seen a lot over the years :D
Awesome car and seems like a proper sound guy. Decent driver as well
Misha keeps finding this utterly fantastic analogue cars
Misha you should got a lap with the blue Lambo,, that was flying 👀
And still it runs and sounds awesome mop mop ✊🏻💪🏼 like always nice video 📹 Misha 👌🏻
Money spend could bought a 996 GT3 Cup car but I got it this car got life’s like a person that’s the attraction of ownership of Porsche very sustainable value.
Runs beautifully, great work
Love it! That's how you drive a car, race it, fix it, rinse and repeat.
He takes very smooth and safe driving lines. Polished. Deceivingly quick with out strangling it.if he was more aggressive keeping it pinned, he would be very very quick .
Very smooth, consistent driving. Nice!
Woo hoooo... NiCE driving onda Nurburgring! He makes it look so easy misha ( which it aint)...
So smooth & precise, obviously gained from LOTS of racing experience against serious competition..LOVE iT!..💕
Thanks for yor time & effort you put into making these videos for all to enjoy Misha..
LOVE Ya Work!
Godbless hava gday 🙂
Absolute legend ! Doffing all my caps at you sir
Best carcontent on TH-cam.
I can keep up with that! Last time I did 277000km on the Hockenheimring with my Honda CRX and that with my first engine!
I'm glad that i found this channel and subscribed.
Wait a moment... 950 laps at the ring... 3000 at spa... XX elsewhere...He just drives or what ? You don t do that on some weekends how much km on the 4.0 ?. Uhm...
I hope this is what my retirement could be like
why not :)
About 15,000km on the 4.0, so just starting to losen up . The .2RS 'box had less that 2K km on it when this was filmed. Still getting used to the way they work together which is why some of the down-changes are a bit mis-timed. Muscle memory is a bitch when it's been ingrained over 12 years!
I have averaged about 20 trackdays per year over the 12 years I've owned the car.
@@nxi20Track day's worn-out the engine quickly , but if you drive normally and you go 2-3 times on track per year , how reliable they're ?
@@ДимитърГенев-ш4и For that sort of use, they have a completely bulletproof engine & gearbox. There's a 997.1 GT3 in the UK with over 160K road miles (260K KM) that drives like new. Everything is vastly over-engineered for the road, these things are meant to be driven on a track. The suspension & brakes have weaknesses but you only see that when when you drive on track
Hopefully not a rude question, but 3rd engine by choice (upgrades) or by chance (breakage)? If the latter, I'd be curious to know what went amiss? I know of at least one Mezger motor with more miles and potentially comparable track time in a 996 Turbo in the 'States (one rebuild, it proved unnecessary, but once it was open they followed through to my understanding).
Anyone know what that hi-pitched sound is during downshifts? Heres an example: 7:23
Proof that trackday is not abuse...with right car
It’s good that we have people that use them really well
Blimey. It's Triggers broom from only fools and horses!
did somebody mount a prank turbo whistle on the exhaust tip? :D
Good Video. The Sound and rpm 👌
Looked so smooth. Nice.
1:33 perfect photobombing by Alclark's 996 gt3
what a lovely chap
Lovely smooth driving style 👌
Not related but the apex 620r was spotted on the latest maclaren unboxed video.
Guys , 3rd engine now which is immediately less impressive. It’s even not material for such a mezger engine. I know one car with more than 170000km with the original 3.6l engine. I would be interested to know where has been the engine replaced/repaired/prepared and for how much.
Dunno if this car is a track car he is pushed to the limit everytime. Look at racing cars they dont last eternal aswell..
He explains in another comment exactly that...so many track days he replaces them before they fail, and with this engine now for more performance. A GT3 not track driven would probably last forever with simple maintenance!
That lambo was fast 😳
A 4.0 996... sounds perfect
Hey @Nick Ramsay do you normally drive the vehicle to track days or do you have a company ship it? Thanks
