Misha's videos made me want to race at the Nürburgring, I took my old G27 and created a simulator, as a beginner I tried the first time with an RS3 but the more than 400 hp made the Nürburgring impossible for me hahaha I then decided to do it with a GTI and after about 2 hours I finally managed it, looking at Micha's video I see that the simulator came really close, the speed that the GTI reaches and the limit in the curves is exactly the real one!
I watched the video once for fun. Second time I watched I just paid attention to the instrument cluster and holy cow it seems like that GTI really performed.
More great memories! I did my first miles on track (Zolder) in my pre-facelift Mk7 GTI, which got me hooked… The stock brakes were the weak link in that car though. Safe and reliable but unbelievable wear on the pads… I also left the ESC on for safety without realizing it was constantly working the brakes
Good Drive Misha. 👍 You talk so comfortably and at the same time correct the vehicle when oversteering. Big cinema 😁👌 Have a nice Weekend and regarts ✌
Great Video as always and being a massive Golf and Cayman fan it really hit the spot for me! Keen to go to Apex next year and drive your new Golf around the ring (I've never been). 2022 Goals 👍
Still, 22 years after I sold it, I miss my Gti Edition One. For me most beautiful Golf of all time. Maybe I need to find myself another GTi again (mid life crisis?).
Good to see the rims are not standard. I bent a couple on the kerbs there last year. Lesson learnt, they GTI rims are made of cheese! The lap was great, I need to get back!
@misha charoudin Could I ask why the Golf GTI and not the R Version? Great Video btw keep it up. Because of you I got super interested in the racing scene Thank you!
Hey Misha, why haven't you considered running a Magan RS ,the previous and current generation? I know they're good track cars and easy to modify. Greetings from Bulgaria!
misha do you guys play with the VCDS settings for the brakes? we have been doing a lot of testing in the US at road atl and have found a couple tweaks to the VCDS brake module really expands the abilities of the stock brakes. So much so I was able to see over 1.5G in braking with good tires and pads. curious on how your build process will go for these cars and what coding mods you will do. my golf R has a dogbox and is ridiculously fun around the "green hell south"
Pity the polo can't be specified with IRS. If it's the same underpinnings of the golf surly the IRS components bolt into place. Lightweight polo with AWD and IRS would be an animal.
Je zou echt eens een bmw 128Ti moeten proberen eeniste nadeel is dat hij torque steer heeft en dat het geen dsg is ik heb een en het is echt leuker dan een gti
Most new dashes are configurable as to what information is displayed. For some reason this owner has it configured this way. It’s likely easy to toggle to something else.
The driver mod is clearly evident showing the fastest way to get quick isn't the car but the time on track.
100%
Now this was a really good lap. The friendly battle between the two of you made it even more enjoyable. You are an amazing driver man.
Yeah that was huge fun, hounding a Cayman owner for most of a lap, looking forward to see what you guys do with upgrades, Rj in Oz

Pretty sure this is not how VAG saw this match-up playing out. Nice lap!

I think all your driver instructing laps trained you to be able to talk/monologue/describe/review while doing a hot lap. Well done!
You’re hard work is amazing!! Left us with videos even on vacation and winter!! 🏖 🥶
Nice drive! Can’t wait for the post upgrade drive!!!
Look into this so far: another Golf and again an Apex Cayman together. th-cam.com/video/rl6NHja__Fg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this video, I was just looking for this! You are a great
Damn man you are really good at working her around those corners. Superb work.

Here - especially for you - another Golf and again an Apex Cayman together. th-cam.com/video/rl6NHja__Fg/w-d-xo.html 😉😎
@@Maody66TV Thanks!

Do it, you won't regret it cause yolo!
I'm 37 and still driving Golf's (currently own a Golf 8 R). Never too old for these great cars, and with some mods they are great track tools.
Your driving skills 📈

Great vid as always Misha.

Enjoyed watching your drive vs. the Cayman👍👍
Very cool with the pov camera! Awesome lap!

Loved the enthusiasm in your voice when Robert announced your girfriend had arrived :P XD
Thanks for that vid. My GTI is about to get a refresh.
Some ideas here as well maybe. th-cam.com/video/rl6NHja__Fg/w-d-xo.html

Great lap. I enjoyed the Cayman.
I really like the golf from ringfreaks. Like u said, it needs some upgrades for the track.
Good video
Keep up the good work *fun*👍
buen dia hoy con el polo en el circuito
more GTi vids please yes im a fan boy

That cayman driver must of been thinking, wtf
GTI has also Perfomance pack which much better for track.
It needs swaybars asap.

@@billx4266 ja maar ik heb het over de gewone gti
Fijne auto's he die golfjes 🤣 vd zomer kom ik eens die kant op 💪 gr melvin
Misha what gauge you are using for tire pressure? And how much should it be the tire pressure driving on track?
We use various ones. Manthey and ISA Racing are my fav. Intercomp is good too. Pressure depending on the car and tire.
Misha please comment on which gearbox feels better the polo dq250 6 speed or the golf dq380 7 speed
They work nearly identical. The longevity of the Golf is probably better.
Why not just get another Cupra? Same car as Golf but cheaper?
Met een standaard Golf GTI een Cayman pesten, na upgrades wordt dat dus GT3's pesten ;-)
Nice Lap.
You forget put on sport/Race mood i think
just curiosity why not a golf r?
Price?
Where can i buy your polo gti😂
Did this have dcc or passive dampers
Your girlfriend is there...
Why does it show the digital speed twice 😄

@@wallymcguire2033 you
Polo or golf?
A civic please. Txs
is that a gti clubsport?
When they talk they like: •_•
Что вы думаете о MINI JCW на треке?
Wheel specs??? Tire size??
Foodshot 0/10
I would go for a second Cupra instead of another Golf GTI.
More power for less Price.
Or go crazy for a Hyundai "dkg"... 🙃
You are a legend. I own the same car and for me this video is just porn 👏🏻👍🏻
Girlfriend?
Introduction in order.
Is the Golf GTI Stock?
2:32
I don't like digital speedometer its confirmed
I want to know more about this "girlfriend". Do you have a stalker? 🤪
tf its polo
why talk a lot bro just race
