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.
You have to admit that being able to jump into Nurburgring straight out of a public road and right away go into full on race mode is just a dream come true for many people.
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.
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

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!!!!!
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.
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!
As a guest of Radical I drove an SR8 at a Silverstone track day a few years ago. There were also the usual Porsches, Ferraris, Astons, Ariel Atoms, Caterhams etc on track but before we started the clerk of the course took the Radical drivers into a room to warn us that to the annoyance of most drivers on track we were in the fastest car and to only overtake where we should etc. It was a great day out, it was on slicks and the fastest car I've ever driven by miles, and while I didnt drive it well in the short time alloted (so high revving), the Radical test / instruction driver (cant recall his name) was awsome.
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 🙂..
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. 😍
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.
Odd question but what is the fuel consumption of say a GT-R or 911 GT2/3 or a M3/4 or hell a full prep mustang or Camaro full prep race and street versions on a qualifying lap or record attempt. How many gallons of fuel would an LMP-1/2/3 use per lap.
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...

Most official timings take this start and end line to define a hot lap of the Nordschleife, take for example all hot laps performed by Sport Auto Magazine.
@@PieterVerlinde That is correct but if you already show the time Large in white but at the end of the pit lane and since the time has started and the displayed time stops at the official start line yes then the time also comes. But the time did not start at the Pit lane instead of the pit exit, the time is also wrong !!!!
Indeed, great run and I agree, straighten out a couple corners along with a little higher RPM on them and he's knocking some seconds off for sure. Just the same it was a beautiful run.
Hi Pieter, you have a lot of confidence in the downforce of the car in real life. How often do you drive the radical SR8 ? See you on track in iRacing, may be this week at the nordschleife at Friday night. Michael Reinhardt2
Hi Michael, we'll be there for sure this week. Most beautyful circuit in the world. :) I don't drive it that often in real life, maybe 3-5 trackdays a year. There's not much choice for Nurburgring trackdays (that allow this car) and some are very expensive, plus I only want do drive it when the weather is dry, makes no sense otherwise. But it's damn nuts to drive it in real life. Cu this week ;)
This would make an exceptional daily commuter car, I find myself wishing I had a small nimble car to negotiate the sluggish suv and crossover drivers around here.

Unlikely; this car is not road legal. Still very impressive driving and car control...those Radicals are adrenalin machines.

But if you crash?
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.

OMG! The cornering speed on that car is unbelievable , nice driving mate, great time.
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
Reminds me of driving to work when I'm late.
Great job!
In your dreams.

Nice recovery with the power after the crazyfast right turn 👍🏎💨💨💨
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.
