My Friend Bought a FERRARI PISTA for the Nurburgring!

- My friend Robert bought his Ferrari 488 Pista as a tool to run at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and nearly all of it's 4,000kms have been doing laps on the Green Hell! For the first time though, he's jumping into the passenger seat and letting me take the wheel for a drive to see what Ferrari's track supercar is like on the famous loop.
The Pista is the track variant of the Ferrari 488 GTB, taking the 3.9l TT V8's power up to 720hp and 770nm, along with more downforce thanks to the s-duct up front and an integrated spoiler at the rear amongst others. This particular car is finished in Grigio Silverstone with Giallo Modena stripes and has an odo of 4,300km, including around 150 laps driving on the Nürburgring itself.
During Touristenfahrten (Tourist Drives), the Nordschleife is open as a public toll road, meaning normal road rules apply, and of course being extra careful considering I'm behind the wheel of my friend's very valuable supercar! However, it's more than enough to give a feel for the sheer amount of power available and performance that the Pista offers, even more so when we swap around and Robert takes lap 2.

Thanks to Robert for letting me take the wheel of the Pista, and his first passenger lap in his own car! Check his channel here: th-cam.com/users/robertmitchell
Shmee150 nice video shmee
the pista looks like a beast
I did wait for this car from long time I'm happy
I have never seen Robert been so quietly on a lap before 🤣🤣
futte2303 maybe he was nervous 😂
It was great sharing a couple laps with you in the Pista Tim!!!! See you soon
Thanks for letting me get behind the wheel, it was a great drive!
This bromance is hot!
Calm down or Misha will get jealous
You Sir, are a hell of a driver.
Much respect, and best of luck to you.
Shmees girlfriend is punching the air right now
Brand Malone thx man. Lots of laps done hehe
Robert: We are going to take it easy, because the tire pressure is high
Also Robert: Casually annihilates the track!
Mad lad.
shmee your driving on the nurburgring has become really good i have seen a massive change you are more confident
Definitely, it helps so much driving this many laps in a short amount of time, and even then it's not a huge number
the pista has a good tone to it as well stock!!
you are the most hardworking TH-camr out there doing daily videos every day i really appreciate your hard work and i feel about it aswell
Agreed. Respect.
taha akbar unlike vehicle virgins trying so hard to flex on other youtubers lmao
Robert seems like such a nice genuine guy and his love of cars I really appreciate. What a legend for letting you drive this amazing car.
He seems very humble.
For all your apologizing for going slow, you kept a pretty respectable pace, and you are really keeping a pretty damn good line. Just some more practice and experience, a little more confidence and you will be able to fly man!
Robert is the King of the Ring, holding yourself to that standard is beyond unrealistic.
Nice driving!
Thank you! I'm working on it, but a lot more practice needed
I agree. You're driving a relatively unfamiliar car on a very challenging race track with a variety of other vehicles, many of which probably shouldn't be on the track. You drove very well.
He was also in a car of someone else
I agree you are v confident and it shows in your driving. Well done.
Robert I’d say is one of the best I’ve seen on that track.....
Tim, your content has been oh FIRE lately. It always is! How do you do it day after day?! Unreal man. Seriously thank you. We need more clean positive content like this in our lives (and during times like this).
I appreciate that! Thank you
Sterling215 true. Loving this content
I mean, how many Pista owners can say "yes, when you're tracking it and building speed, the traction control in the corners is limiting". Robert you're fantastic with detailing experiences. Also, I absolutely like Tim driving before Robert drives. It provides great perspective. Keep doing this guys!
The Shmee and Mitchell show ! I could watch it all day long, ring laps in super cars. entertaining and informative as ever, well done chaps..
9:46 you know you got things good when you can call downshifting a Ferrari too much a 'habit'! thanks for the great content, Tim!
So true!
I'm loving shmee's new confidence on the lap ✊
Beginning of the video: Wow! Shmee is really pushing that Ferrari!
And then they swapped seats...😁
then it's all over lol
"Sounds good, for a turbo" - Epic lol
A couple of minutes into the lap i thought “God Tim’s had his Porridge this morning” absolute stellar drive from you and from Robert. Absolutely love the acceleration of the Pista and the gear changes, goes like a missile!
Great video as always.
I just love how a Robert links his corners together.
One of the best vid’s you have ever done. Really enjoyed this one.
2 great laps from 2 great drivers! #Fact! Loving your faster laps on the ring Tim,mate... well done!
AWESOME video Tim. Great job. PLEASE take your SENNA out for a good proper track day. I can't wait for that! My favorite vid's that you make are of driving these monsters in their natural environment where you can hear and almost experience the emotion and spirit the emit. Hard to get that on a city street or parking lot. Keep up the great work brother!!!
At 5:40 I was like SHMEEEE !!! helloooo !!! You're getting really fast around the ring
Wow that dude has a really smooth driving style!
14:07 the way Robert comes out of the corner and corrects the car and looks at shmee.. love the content as always cheers
This 488 Pista really showed off your driving skills, Tim. I genuinely enjoyed watching your lap. Well done Sir!
It takes a lot of confidence and skill to drive someone else’s supercar to that degree. Great job Tim and thanks for
another excellent and entertaining video.
I love how relaxed and nonchalant Robert is as some guy rips down the road driving his new Ferrari lol. Awesome video and gorgeous car.
Great to see my favourite TH-camr again. You were OK too, Shmee
Haha!
Ok? More like he was feeling himself
I've been following Misha (and Robert) since the beginning, so when my other favourite TH-camr visits them the videos are more amazing than ever!
Perfect, glad you like it
What happened to misha?
@@CarCrazy12804 I guess he is in Croatia working at Rimac
I LOVE THIS CONTENT. Very entertaining and interesting. The Nurburgring is one incredibly hard a track and driving a car you have never driven before, it is amazing. Did a great job.
Robert and Tim. Just a couple of nice smart guys enjoying their cars.
Having fun and sharing it!
Great video thanks for sharing it with us seeing super cars getting driven and used by people who can drive them,, every day's a school day with you, enjoy your enthusiasm for the cars 👍👍☘️☘️☘️from Northern Ireland 👍👍👍
This is the earliest I’ve ever seen A Shmee vid uploaded👍👍. You are the greatest supercar guy there is keep up your good work I love watching your videos
Wow, thanks!
Excellent as always.
Tim, you don't give yourself enough credit. There aren't that many people who can take a car like a Pista and go straight out on the Green Hell and put in a lap like that. You're not out there almost every day like these guys are, and I for one think your track driving is more than respectable.
Very kind of you to say
That color scheme looks so good the grey with the yellow stripes. It looks better than any Lamborghini.
I'm going to make a mental note of this colour scheme
Shmee150 upcoming spec on your new car? 🤔
Shmee you are definitively getting better at this. Very smooth drive. That Pista was planted. Tons of front end grip. The tires were the limiting factor.
Awesome drive Shmee... i really enjoyed this. Hope one day to do the trip to Nurburgring and visit the track.
I can watch you both talk about cars, their ownership, reliability, tracking them and daily use for a long time! Really great to have you both chatting and driving !
Watched the entire drive with a smile 🙂.
Awesome content.
Brillant video shmee loving the nurburgring vids cheers steve 😀👍
Both of you guys nice driving thanks for the great content agian Tim cheers :)
Thank you for the Video. I freaking love the Pista. It's so damn beautiful
Tim you improved a lot after so many laps you did in this circuit in the past with different cars. I'm already impressed with your driving style and speed. Robert has done a 150 laps to this car besides it's his car so he can really push it to the limit which you can't do it obviously.👌 👌 😀 😀 🇵🇭 🇵🇭
Shmee great content and that 488 pista is the most elegant spec ive ever seen😍
Can't wait to see the M8 in the Nurburgring,that will change the game and anticipation i guess😊😊😊
Robert's channel is like a gift on youtube.
A good combination. A tourist lap and then a really quick lap. Fun.
Hi Tim
I really enjoyed that mate good to see both driving techniques on the track
Love that car & the colour
Catch up soon
Hell ye I just love the live view in this Ferrari lots of confidence from u on the Nurburgring all this track time is definitely showing in your skill keep it up and be driving any car like a pro
I love the triple camera view on these recent Nurburgring videos. So gripping!
You're getting really good at driving the nordschleife, and I think we all love to see you taking your cars there! :D Thank you for the awesome content!
Tim, you have my respect.great lap for the first Ride in a pista!!! Good Job 💪👍
Had a great time watching this video Tim. Do more please. Same course
The Pista is perfect!! Great content!
What a great Tf lap Tim . Great conversation and Great driving
That Pista is just fantastic! It is so fast. Plus having Tim and Robert drive, just a pleasure. They are both really decent people, and that shows with their content.
Wow Shmee... That was some really good driving... Very impressed 👍🏼
Thank you
NIce car, nice driving! Thanks for sharing this with us!
your videos are so well made!
What an amazing ride .
Thank youuuuu.... Both of you!
Tim your channel just goes from strength to strength and clearly your driving skills are getting ever better - great to see two friends enjoying such an incredible experience - the Pista is such a lovely thing and fair play to Robert for allowing you to drive the wheels off of it! 👍😈
Great drive Tim & Robert. Now that’s a big boys playground video!
That was VERY cool. ... and the commentary comparing the car behaviour... for us non-Pista owners. For a moment, felt like we were in on the experience. Thank you for posting this and letting us into what its like to drive and zip around the track. Props to Robert for that lap,... tons of fun.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This two are pure TH-cam gold!!!
That's one for the bucket list. Tim smiling non stop says it all
Amazing lap! Respect for Robert ! :)
Robert is such a nice and down to earth guy.
Super fun laps between cars!
Robert is a very fast driver by keeping it in control and slowing down when needed!
Don't sell yourself short, Tim. Your driving is quite good and rapidly improving. Impressive.
Very kind of you to say
Great looking and V8 always so nice on the ears 🙂
Awesome vid Tim! You have a dream job!
Robert and Shmee driving back to back BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Pista is an instant classic and one of the most beautiful cars of all time.
Great drivers, great content. Nice to see 3 different windows to feel how it is 👍🏼
Loved this video as it shows how and why these marvels of engineering being used in a proper way
Great video and great driving Shmee!
Blown away by how quick that Porsche is 😳
Best automotive channel ever!!!❤️❤️
Tons of fun! 👍🏻
Ur videos are sooo informative!!love it.
Glad you like them!
Love the late content of the channel you are driving like a proooo, keep this content we love it!
Just a matter of confidence and experience Tim. You’re doing really well. Excellent collaboration with the other gentleman TH-camr, Robert Mitchell..
Loved this! Amazing car.
Wonderful video, beautiful car!
Great driving, Tim! Like a pro as usual
thanks Tim for your hard work! you started from the bottom now you are here.
I wish you the best.
Thanks, you too!
Wow what a wonderful car.. that looks like the most beautiful experience.. sounds awesome 😎
Robert's serious face is awesome lol. The shifts sound like a bolt action rifle. Awesome.
Shmee I have to admit the one thing your channel used to lack was fast driving... The amount of "run in" content was frustrating.. but the Nurburg/GER content is where its at! And your not hanging about!
The owner is a beast at the wheel. A true honor to watch.
LMAOOOO 8:29 "Are you ok there....." You are the best Shmee!!!!!!!!!!
That was MEGA! both laps.
Shmee you drive really well. Watching Robert drive it though 😲🤯 mad skill! Is there anything that can touch that GT2 MR?
Officially no, but unofficially probably the Senna and AMG GT Black Series would be on it
I don't think the GT2 RS has ever come close to beating the Senna on the 15 or so tracks they've both been timed on, and the gap is wide enough that the MR version of the GT2 RS wouldn't change that fact.
@@larrydunn4626 Nothing can be told until they're actually put up against each other. Speaking of the MR that is.
looks really dialed in, and its fun to hear you both saying what you think abut the car
Top guy, Robert. What a driver!
Nice ride! Very Impressive!
For somebody who has just jumped into the drivers seat of an alien car at the ring, you did one hell of a good job there Tim. Your skill at the ring has really come on recently. Top work!
Nice, sounds absolutely great revving out. Nice drive
It does!
Tim has quite nice and smooth lines. Also talking while bombing around in a Pista... mad respect.
good POV. enjoyed watching it.
Actual goose bumps
Incredible car. Incredible drive.
