It’s fun to see you go for a lap by yourself and get to have a little fun with an old friend. I hope you are enjoying your time off Misha and recharging. I really miss seeing your energy and smile behind the wheel like Sabine had on camera. Wishing you Happy Holidays!
turning on this thing was crazy, even on the first lap, looked to me like it was glued on the asphalt. what a nice build, didn't expect it from a cupra (not because they're bad, I just happen to have zero experience with them)
@@vestexl2698 But, living in France and being in the auto industry, I agree with you. When I said it's a golf, it was to avoid going into details... more in general. Seat, VW, Skoda, Audi and many others use many elements between them, including the complete chassis and engines and gearboxes.
This was the first car I drove on the Nordshleife. Surprisingly fast, feels much faster than I'd expect from a 300hp hatch and it's a very confidence inspiring car. Super grippy, and I didnt have the semi slicks on because it was damp. Only thing I didn't love... the steering felt very heavy to me. Maybe I need to work out more lol. But I needed to rest every 2 laps. Not sure how you manage a long race in this 😅 I had a Golf GTI before and steering in that was very light. Maybe its from all the suspension changes.
I had the privilege to drive this very car for two laps early this year. Though I was much slower then you (obviously) I had much fun and felt like driving a real racecar. A great experience I hope to repeat next season, if the new concept of APEX will allow so?! By the way: The UVEX helmet you are wearing in this video. Would you recommend it for a hobby TFler like I am?
Really enjoyed this one. Pushing that car to the limit. That big brake event because of the second biker was scary on the warm-up lap. Also, thanks for the explanations for people on the other side of the pond. Had not idea this was using Volks parts.
yes, two settings - first one is "esc sport", and then after a long press you get off. Since there is no Haldex AWD like in an Audi S3 / RS3 or Golf R the system is not required to engage the Haldex AWD system, so off actually means off.
The pick up and turn in on the car is unbelievable, must be a privilege to drive your old race car again, your driving skill is simply outstanding and incredible massive fan Misha ❤❤
I drove with this car for like 16 laps this year and I can confirm. incredible car. I drove it on ps4s so it wasn't that sticky. The back of the car felt really catchy on cold tires and specially when braking you have to hold it straight. Besides that an incredible build. Would love to drive it again but on semis.
It's a nice reminder that 300hp is not a small amount of power, and a good handling car with "only" 300hp will be fast as heck if you know what your doing.
I'd love to come visit from Finland to have you do a lap in my Leon ST "Carbon Edition" but first I'll have to install a few upgrades to avoid some hiccups that the last Cupra had a few videos ago. Also, after having watched how nice this Cupra looks and handles I'm afraid my car would be underwhelming to drive. Nice video as always Misha!
A stunning couple of laps, just a shame that traffic stops the flow occasionally. If only my '02 Cupra ran on rails like this one. Love your content Misha, you're a true legend ❤
Alright. Now I know what car I should rent when I will visit Nurburgring again. And if this will end up with a photo with Misha, my Romanian friends will go crazy happy. Perfect situation
Such GREAT Cars! I have a 1.2TSI and I swear, it is one of the best handling cars I have owned!!! So much fun, and I have owned M3:s in the past! Seat built a great little package with the Leon ❤
Happy to know you were CUPRA driver, don't knew it! It will be good next year you can test a CUPRA Tavascan on The Ring. Now days I prefer electric cars.
I was in Spain with a Micra rental driving up mountains in Andalusia and I know in Spain it's full of seat I MEAN more seat than anything else and a supra came up behind and if you see thus thing take me like a blown rally car never 4get it !GATE13SW6CREWCFC
Hey Misha. Could you give us camber settings and spring rates for the cars you drive (if the owners have them) It would be very interesting for people who own these cars to create an idea of where to start, to achieve a similar result. Hope this helps the channel as well.
As always Misha a fantastic couple of laps ( Camera work included ) Fair to say the changes made on the Cupra are clearly very noticeable. I really enjoy this style of video although I am aware they take a lot more time to create with both yourself & George involved. Credit to George for all the knowledge, research & hours he’s put into the car making the changes. Looking forward to getting back over to the Nurburgring from the UK next year 🙃
Amazing car, awesome driver 😁 what call me attention was the fuel range xD one lap and don't move the 250km 😅 my Skoda Octavia vrs tdi in 30 or 40 seconds the range down to 100km 😂😂😂😂
Harder coiles on the rear and roll the arches,can they add abs doesnt seem to have as even the great mishas racing hands going crazy just to keep it civil on the 1st lap. 2nd one 😢 dam yellows and you where definitely in the zone at the end flat out ❤
I'm seriously impressed by stopping power! Just gently pressure on the pedal, and speedo drops significantly The beauty of lightweight car with strong brakes, perfectly balanced suspension, semislicks and decent power=racecar 😊
How do you find the front end on throttle? I was on the ring with my cupra and as soon as you apply throttle frend end is nowhere. Like the car has no front diff. Did you do any modifications to overcome that?
Nice car totally love de looks of that generation Cupra. Ow wait got the same , that's why😅. Awesome driving. The fast part the speeds stuck at 215 in M5? What was the reason for that? Hope to see another lap in the car again.
Misha I found Georges words quite funny in the beginning. I remember a phrase between Stoner & Rossi and the question was "did your Ambition out way your Talent" in either 2011 or 2012 at a wet Jerez race after a crash between them. Glad you had fun in your old car. 👍

It`s a golf 😉
@@THESHADOW97139you are clueless the golf r has 4 motion nothing like the fwd cupra
@@BalkanBoyBiH golf gti 😉
gti tcr or clubsport, not normal gti. And they r not prepare the same. Brakes on Cupra ar far better than any gti.@@THESHADOW97139

No understeer or slip on corner exit and even though that front wheels are having to do all the work it just stays on it's line. What a setup.
Drove this car in October - FANTASTIC. PLS dont sell it I cant wait for spring to drive it again!
C6 euro turn signals at 10:30 is pretty cool

De terugkeer van een race legende!
Thank you for teaching me something new about AR1 tyres ❤️
Jesus christ, how? How does one drive THIS good?? Bloody well done mate
Being a great race driver with thousands of laps of knowledge! I love how he can get in any car and within 2 mins can push it to the limit though.
At one with the car, in the zone, flow state whatever you call it, that's it.
Funny when Misha is driving like a bat out of hell and the look is like cruising around LA in a traffic jam with a tired look on his face.
what a car, what a driver, what a track!
What a machine bro. Why you didn't take George with you man?! ✌️
Some weapon!
It's the same story everytime..if no one overtake you you are driving what in italy we call "gran cannello" lol❤
Really fuel efficient, this car!😂
irony?
Misha, i really think it would be a good investment if you buy a m140i rwd with good suspension upgrades with stock power.
VLC player crash at 18:02 :)
something dosn't add-up
special N-ring build rubbing tires !?
It's chef's kiss, Misha, not chef kiss. 😉
I watch you from Georgia, but we have #Giorgi Sarishvili 🇬🇪
Are you not allowed to roll fenders in Germany for any reason? Or are they already rolled.
Misha bro pls rs7 c8
How much it weigh?
8:13 is that sreten?
Needs rear wiper delete
Does ESP of the seat goes fully off?
yes, two settings - first one is "esc sport", and then after a long press you get off. Since there is no Haldex AWD like in an Audi S3 / RS3 or Golf R the system is not required to engage the Haldex AWD system, so off actually means off.
Motorcycles should have separate days..
It's good to see George again. It would be even better to see some of the others, too - Robert, etc.
this
Miss the Apex crew
I’ve got a Cupra 300 DSG. Highly underrated cars. Mighty fast for a family hatch and also comfortable and well specced. Make for a great daily.
The pick up and turn in on the car is unbelievable, must be a privilege to drive your old race car again, your driving skill is simply outstanding and incredible massive fan Misha ❤❤

I love Cupra MK3, my car with 402hp, it's so good, chill, Stage2 with downpipe, easy and fun
Good video
Lol @ the Biker , atleast drive faster then 110 brother , or go to the right please , this always amazes me ngl , Nice Save tho
400 € as driver or a passenger?
To drive a seat.. with poor sound
Max price Per 2 laps as a driver (incl fuel and lap tickets)

Misha looks bored with only 300hp Cupra. Looks like he's just driving to some boring job on a typical Tuesday.
Good to see George again!
Hi Misha, i'm looking for this carbon card doors, u know where to get it for cupra?? Thx!
WHY ARE YOU NOT RACING? SERIOUSLY. I'M SURE THERE ARE PLENTY OF TEAMS THAT WOULD GRAB YOU UP IN A SECOND....
Cupras in my country doesn't have front fog lights.
Nice checkered chemtrail pattern in the skies
and mega nice car.. seems extremely fun
Hey Misha. Could you give us camber settings and spring rates for the cars you drive (if the owners have them)
It would be very interesting for people who own these cars to create an idea of where to start, to achieve a similar result. Hope this helps the channel as well.
Lol... 😮😅
The BMW that started in front of you in the second lap shot out quickly
Do you make any line changes when driving a front wheeler?
i would probably smile at least sometimes i do when driving alone. why does he looks so sad. 😅
@misha Do you happen to have the specs for the rims? :) Happy new year!
wow amazing, this car only need gasoline when it stops🤣🤣🤣
19:20 you need to have balls of steel for that move
Why do you need to wear a helmet in a welded cage? Do you not need a helmet in a screwed cage?

Anybody know if nakang ar1 better than ps4 on road
havent watched you in a minute been real busy glad i got videos to catch up on tho
Ich bin selber motirrad Fahrer aber auf der touri Runde finde ich das viel zu gefährlich für alle Beteiligten
Hey Misha how are you? While i do enjoy the onboard videos i do miss the vlogs. Have a great day 🙂
Мишаня , круто заехал , машина огонь просто и мощность и стабилизация 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro was passing gtr’s and corvettes 😮
😮😮😅😅❤❤wouahhh ❤️
You looked like you almost drove yourself to sleep
Does the seat move a bit too much from side to side or is it me?
For the track 18 inch better than 19 inch ?
Amazing car! Seat 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
woooow this car save gas,, woooow wooooww😲😲
Amazing car, awesome driver 😁 what call me attention was the fuel range xD one lap and don't move the 250km 😅 my Skoda Octavia vrs tdi in 30 or 40 seconds the range down to 100km 😂😂😂😂
Can we recognize the age of the recorded footage based on the pedal cam? (basically your new boots vs the older ones?)
Anyhow again 2 very nice laps!
it was awsome, entry and hold in "carulsele" also exit... :-) Master of piece.
Harder coiles on the rear and roll the arches,can they add abs doesnt seem to have as even the great mishas racing hands going crazy just to keep it civil on the 1st lap. 2nd one 😢 dam yellows and you where definitely in the zone at the end flat out ❤
Why Nanking over Michelins or Yokohama. Nankings have aggressive slip angle ?
That machine is a god damn weapon!!! ❤
Radical!
I'm seriously impressed by stopping power!
Just gently pressure on the pedal, and speedo drops significantly
The beauty of lightweight car with strong brakes, perfectly balanced suspension, semislicks and decent power=racecar 😊
Fuel 250km...hahaha
Ok, that’s proper fast. But what’s up with the wheel rubbing? Is that normal for a build like this?
I remember xthilox and stopped watching him after they no long allow timing. Is that car still a thing?
I'm I de only one whom noticed how amazing de fuel consumption actually is😮
I hope that lady driver puts that cone back where she found it.
How do you find the front end on throttle? I was on the ring with my cupra and as soon as you apply throttle frend end is nowhere. Like the car has no front diff. Did you do any modifications to overcome that?
Nice car totally love de looks of that generation Cupra. Ow wait got the same , that's why😅.
Awesome driving. The fast part the speeds stuck at 215 in M5? What was the reason for that? Hope to see another lap in the car again.
My brain tells me the whole lap was done at a constant 250kmh
One of the many reasons why i hate people 15:18 that dude ruined it, you can tell by Misha's face as well 😂 like ''oh wth i can't run them over'' 😂
Is the fuel gauge broken?... it just reads full for a whole lap
Feels like it has been ages since we have seen George, or Diana or Robert for that matter.
Intergalactic (Beastie Boys) sounds in the Karussell
Looked like a fun couple of laps! Does a racecar like this have ABS?
Why not increase the ride height a little more to avoid the rubbing?
Not for sale? This is a perfect track car for me as a disabled person!
Where do you get the carbon Doors cards? and , What have you done with the wheel arches so that they are 265 and do not rub?
Such a good platform. Might have to jump ship in the future 😅
Me reacting to a super fast lap and then seeing on the time line that "Faster lap" is coming
Misha I found Georges words quite funny in the beginning. I remember a phrase between Stoner & Rossi and the question was "did your Ambition out way your Talent" in either 2011 or 2012 at a wet Jerez race after a crash between them. Glad you had fun in your old car. 👍
