this is still by far the most impressive car/lap ever. All the record laps that beat this, were factory support on the most fresh of hard core track tires. This guy came in and did his lap on the same tires he drove to the track and back.
I love your channel Misha. I've watched a lot of laps around that place, in a lot of different vehicles, , but that was by God impressive. I love a Radical, and will have one some day.
well this is a road car driven by an enthusiast in normal track day wearing semi slick 919lap record was a uprated no hold bared rule breaking leman prototype with a racing department and a close track session driven by a world champion

As a former racing driver all l can say is exceptional driving, some huge over steer moments that were caught with so much talent, one massive huge moment l thought that was it but he gathered it up together. l am amazed at how stable the car was even though it was on the limit. Been thinking about buying a Radical for some time, this has totally convinced me
Ah, the old steel balls joke. Not very original and so tired it's annoying rather than funny. The drivers skill is paramount not mindless courage and testosterone.
I remember this car from the game Project Gotham Racing 3. Amazing control in an amazing machine. I was so impressed with how the tires were barely squealing throughout the lap whilst being driving almost tot the edge. Chapeau to the driver!!!!!
What a ride! I thoroughly enjoyed that. I loved how the tyres cooled a bit on the long straights then caused a little understeer on initial turn in on corners. It was mesmerizing this vid actually. Cheers for posting.
Looks like me driving to work on a 10 mile dirt road driving an old Volvo 544. I was going a LOT slower but it felt as fast. It was even more fun on packed snow. This astounding time was done with a relatively small engine and not without mistakes. Great drive and great video. Thanks
pv544's still run in some historic rallies. I used to run a "slightly modified" (hoho) '60s LandRover that I could chase Mercedes down the autobahn at 130+mph but also cross ploughed fields at over 70mph. Old fart/petrolhead - I blame the parents...
@@forandonbehalfof4753 my favorite dirt road car was a '94 Buick Roadmaster Wagon. The thing would float over the bumps and potholes, slide the corners and, with the LS-1 stock V-8 rush down the straights. Not very precise but a lot of fun. Eventually the frame rotted out. I miss that car.
Boa noite !!!!! Aqui estou eu assistindo novamente. É bom demais...... Muito obrigado por nos levar de carona pra curtir essa velocidade e essa Pista incrível. Sem palavras...... Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil.
Que volta fantástica !!!! Sem palavras para descrever a emoção que senti agora....... Grande pilotagem !!!! Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil........
Der absolute Wahnsinn diese Kurvengeschwindigkeiten. Ich fahre selbst sehr gerne schnell mit meinem friesierten Corsa B aber vor diesem Fahrer und dem oberedlen Fahrzeug ziehe ich meinen Hut. Ganz großes Kino und es war mir eine Freude das mitanzuschauen 👍🥳🤩👌
Awesome. Super committed and trusting the car quite a lot. Well done! I’m using this to memorize the track. I guess I’ve watched it 20 times and still have a long way to go until I can close my eyes and see the track.
Been trying to match this record in iRacing for a couple of weeks, down to 6.55 now .. but I learned a lot from studying this guy.. now I know where to cut a few corners better. Very helpful!
And that bloody trailer towing honda posties bike behind the white convertible looking thing just would not let me through in my trabant. And I had the woman and kids along for a nice Sunday drive. Blue flags are there for a reason, people!
@@kieranh2005 - Oh, And I bet you've got one of those bloody lightweight la-di-dah racing Trabants with all those duroplast panels, haven't you? Well, next time I'll use top gear (3rd!!!) and show you!
It sounds like it's named and it's named like it sounds! What an amazingly horrific great piece of a go-kart for a racetrack! I'd love to drive it once! Please show more! :-)
The sound and video are great with this awesome drive. Hearing the car slide in the tight corners almost let’s you feel it, too. The car seems almost a go kart, watching the flimsy cowling flutter in the airstream.
Did you see he was just about on top of that traffic just coming into the finish. It would have been a bummer if he caught them before the finish. It was a gutsy drive.
cool man, great driving!! Did the same 10 years ago with my SR8 in 6.58 (full lap). Radical SR8 the best car I ever had❤!! But I'm getting old, so I drive Porsche GT3 RS on the Ring now..😉. Perhaps we will meet once there, all the best to you!
That's awesome to read. Your video was my inspiration to buy an SR8 haha. Very nice drive and a lot of respect for you. You don't realize what it takes until you get that sr8 on the ring and you get bumped like hell in the car 😀 I have gotten even older I guess, I haven't been driving since a while now. The SR8 on the ring was the summum. Hope to meet you someday to share the SR8 ownership experiences 🙂..
Great Lap! You're very good little peddler Ronney; respect. Great that you could do it without traffic; it would have been MEGA enjoyable. Thank you Ronney.
Inspired driving! From watching the drivers hands, the car was definitely getting a bit a “dancy” under breaking on corner entry. There were quite a few 11/10ths moments - superb.
My friend owned X180R #10 back in 1996. I also owned an S4 back then. We were students in Boston. Right now I have an BRG Esprit Sport 300. Strange thing I had the same idea about throwing away the 4 and swapping it with the hayabusa V8. 😍
That vehicle looks like it loves to be thrashed rather than finessed.. Huge Kudos to the driver, I don’t know how he fits balls that big into his race suit...
@@getinit56 I didn't realise that, so I did some research and found out that the engine is 2 Suzuki Hayabusa engines bolted together in a v shape and tuned. That is crazy
Awesome. Now, Porsche has the new lap record in the Porsche 919 Hybrid with a time of 5:19.6 WOW. Fast cars can only work with these excellent drivers with nerves of steel!
I haven't been scared just watching in, I can't remember. Maybe never, at least not like this! Whoever this driver is, my hat's off to them! That was fu.. ing impressive! 50% out of control, wow!
this is still by far the most impressive car/lap ever. All the record laps that beat this, were factory support on the most fresh of hard core track tires. This guy came in and did his lap on the same tires he drove to the track and back.
Unlikely; this car is not road legal. Still very impressive driving and car control...those Radicals are adrenalin machines.
@@shekk0r They are road legal in Germany/Europe. Not in USA though.
@@nycyabber7103It's a track in Germany.
@@jezstarrr I'm aware, I was just adding more information to the commenter above me who said it's not road legal.
This thing is road legal??
Amazing time and great driving!
hey boris
I love your channel Misha. I've watched a lot of laps around that place, in a lot of different vehicles, , but that was by God impressive. I love a Radical, and will have one some day.
Actually, he could have been even faster because he made a few small mistakes. Impressive driving nonetheless, though, chapeau!
Lot of mistake and not fast 260.top speed .need stage3. And 200cv power more.
Christophe L 🤣
Absolutely crazy! What a corner speed! Brilliant reactions (Eiskurve etc)!
Awesome racing machine, great driver!
👍
A space ship on wheels. Fabulous machine 👍👍👍
5:38 kept it together well, heart skipped a beat
This was fast! To think the 919 goes 100km faster on the straights and beat this by a minute! Incredible.
Agree... That was one fast lap but also shows how mind bendingly fast that 919 lap is! Two very different cars but two very skilled drivers.
A minute and a half on the Nordschleife is the age of the universe.

But if you crash?
5:42 even in games it scares me!
krama for killing a bug.
@@Briskturtle i see what u did there
at least you don't have to worry about killing yourselves so there's that :v
5:15.
There is a reason that corner is called "Eiskurve."
Him and that car were one , perfect harmony 👌🏽 amazing skill
Reminds me of driving to work when I'm late.
Great job!
In your dreams.
1:55
Nice recovery with the power after the crazyfast right turn 👍🏎💨💨💨
Hard to hear the sound of the engine over the sound of that driver’s steel balls clacking together.......
hahaha ^^
Jason , I don't know about steel balls - Concrete balls is more like it !! 😂😂
Ah, the old steel balls joke. Not very original and so tired it's annoying rather than funny. The drivers skill is paramount not mindless courage and testosterone.

Toilet paper at 4:59 please lol. The tyres and over steer were spot on with headphones, really feeling it break away. Mental!
I remember this car from the game Project Gotham Racing 3. Amazing control in an amazing machine. I was so impressed with how the tires were barely squealing throughout the lap whilst being driving almost tot the edge. Chapeau to the driver!!!!!
Have to say the car is on slicks and slicks shouldn't be squealing ;-)

2:20 probably the hardest place too get a good exit
Imo Iracing got this track so right. All the bumps are where i expect them to be.
Great lap

With a top speed of 260 kph that time is amazing..
Guess down force must be more important than top speed.
@@noblestar7742 agree
Only a few places to reach top speed, time can be gained in every corner
If something like Drs was on that it would help but I'm sure some downforce isn't just big wing and can't move
263 I spotted

Wow 😮 That even looks fast .... videos don’t look fast normally . Mental time ! And jeez you must have faith in that car 👏👏👏👏👏
thanks mate for sure it's mental, driving this car scares the hell out of me ;)
Those tires were so sticky, wonder what he was running!
Not to mention the talent behind the wheel, congrats on the new lap record!!!

Yes, lucky nice clear road ahead. Great driving!
Amazing car and driver.
Hauling ass down the straight at 10K is awesome.
Superb driving skills. And wow that car is dialed in.
Sick car, Sick Driving, amazing video.
Thumbs up 👍🏻
Wow Project cars 2 looks absolutely amazing
Yah, it almost had me
Mmmmnnoo gt sport does
Lol project cars ? Gt sports? Nothing compares to Forza
Impressive how this merged V8 Hayabusa engine works. Great showcase and driving skills.
this never gets old, I miss the SR8 in iRacing and the prime time of the Radical series
Awesome skills, Those Radicals are just savage!!! I want one so bad
Jan Nowak a big go kart that managed to get a better lap time than most supercars
The Sr1 is pretty cheap just the price of a ford focus RS
I mean not saying it dirt cheap but for a race car it's extremely cheap
@@TienTran-kw3il Think I need to enquire on the price of one and start saving! 👍🏼
Brilliant driving, with amazing calm and lightning reflexes.
What an awesome open cockpit view. Both great and scary, because what ever come flying your way, you will take it in the face.
262 kph in 6th gear at 10k rpm. The diff must be geared pretty low. What a wonderful car...and sound.
Fantastic driving. And amazing lap record.
Super pilotage, caméra embarquée et voiture fantastique 🤩👍👍
fantastic lap....a pleasure to watch-....plus NO traffic!
Wow ! - that was incredible driving skill.
Did you see he was just about on top of that traffic just coming into the finish. It would have been a bummer if he caught them before the finish. It was a gutsy drive.
6:44.97 ;) That's a great lap, especially considering the car's top end of only 160 Mph.
If this man drove the 919 he would stomp the world record. This man knows this track well and pushes hard.
I'm sitting in front of my 34 inch screen and I'm getting dizzy. Respect, great video
cool man, great driving!!
Did the same 10 years ago with my SR8 in 6.58 (full lap). Radical SR8 the best car I ever had❤!!

Brilliant lap! Seems you know that car and the track quite well. Thanks for sharing
unbelievable!
kudos to the driver who evidently has balls made from unobtainium and rarium and no shits givenium!
very impressive driving that's a very good run great timing
Great Lap! You're very good little peddler Ronney; respect. Great that you could do it without traffic; it would have been MEGA enjoyable. Thank you Ronney.
That was excellent - thanks for posting it.
awesome driving.great lap.a little understeer coming off the car no obvious oversteer,quite good balance front -rear.
That was freaking impressive!

Great little car. Nice lap. I like the bit where you crash into the back of the 911 @ 7:38
5:28 rip bug
It’s like Desert Bus
The cornering speed is incredible !!!
That vehicle looks like it loves to be thrashed rather than finessed.. Huge Kudos to the driver, I don’t know how he fits balls that big into his race suit...
262. Wow. You, Sir, went up there with the F-1 cars. Mad courage!
Damn gast, dees is zot. Ik wil zeker wel eens meekomen in deze raket. Radical is gewoon al waanzinnig en dan nog de RX8 op de nordschleife, phew.
Man you owned that ride. Awesome
WTF! This Car sounds like a motorbike. Amazing!!!
Most Radicals are powered by motorcycle engines. The "8" they created are basicly two 4 cylinder motorcycle engines paired together in a common block.
@@getinit56 I didn't realise that, so I did some research and found out that the engine is 2 Suzuki Hayabusa engines bolted together in a v shape and tuned. That is crazy
Damn that's fast. Great driving. Virtually no traffic though, could easily break that time on a completely no traffic lap.
The only mistake was riding that one Rumble Curb! Amazing!
Excellent driving skills
Top Runde, sehr gute Linie!!!
Nice Run 😊❤
Watched that I think a few weeks ago and then again now and it was just as exciting if not more the second time around.
Holy shit that thing is a rocket, and sounds wicked!
Insane bit of driving! Awesome!
Very cool. Amazing driving.
Absolutely terrifying... this driver is incredible....
Nice work :)
Wow, fastest soap box. Incredibly good.
i swear i heard him say. WHAT THE HELL. when he saw the pinto in his rear view mirrors closing in.
Awesome. Now, Porsche has the new lap record in the Porsche 919 Hybrid with a time of 5:19.6 WOW. Fast cars can only work with these excellent drivers with nerves of steel!
This is practically a road-going LMP1
road-going is a big word :-D A single speedbump and you are fucked :p
Very good lap 👍🚗👍
Just once i would love to drive that to work through city
They should so a 24 hours of lemons the one with 500$cars
This idea is brilliant
The loss of traction, and the quick recovery, on numerous corners makes me wonder if track was wet or tires going off.
Pushing the limits
Epic drive. Giant brass balls on full send.
For a radical this is just speechless like how, most the of the best like expensive cars only make these times
This is another level ... This thing flys ... 👍🛸🚀
Amazing drive, I could see the bumps on the car and thought, shit hope he holds it
epic drive Pieter !!
Is everyone going to ignore the fact that he didn´t use Brakes or Throttle pedal at all? This guy is incredible!
You started the clock about 3 seconds (after) the Line so its closer to 6:48 but still incredible
I haven't been scared just watching in, I can't remember. Maybe never, at least not like this!
Whoever this driver is, my hat's off to them! That was fu.. ing impressive! 50% out of control, wow!
Out to control? Not even close. He knows that circuit extremely well.
AMAZING! great car and great driver
