Pretty boss move to extend an offer like that to a couple of random hecklers like us! It's that attitude that gave me pause and made me think about how I was carrying myself. I live waaay too far away to take advantage, unfortunately, and won't be in a place to travel that far until my degree is finished, etc. I do - as any petrolhead must - have a life goal to lap the Ring, though, so we may connect in the future. In the meantime, if you've budgeted for a couple of laps and a few ancillary costs, can I propose a different use of this? If there is a children's hospital, Ronald McDonald House, or Make-A-Wish-type charity you can connect with, maybe you could give my ride to some boy or girl - or a father thereof - who doesn't have the luxury of planning as far ahead as I do. I'm sure there is somebody out there whose life would be made better by at least as much as mine would by spending a day at the Nordschleife. If that's not feasible, I'll take a gigantic rain check! Congratulations to you on your winning attitude and how you interact with viewers - of all types! All the best.
I always thought I had gotten a good attitude by not swearing at people and leaving internet arguments with writing (honest!) well wishes as my last comment, even if the argument was heated. But seeing what you did showed me how to behave even better on the internet if I am at fault for commenting something angry (everyone has a bad day, someday). That really is something to strive towards. Thank you very much, and thank you to Robert, too!
3:47 "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self." Ever since I read that quote, it has struck a chord with me. I've tried to lead my life by its example since. Admittedly a lot of times less successful than others, but it is still a great concept to keep in mind. For that person to go back and write that as their comment it meant they realised something about themselves and even though their day may not have started well, it ended on a winning note. Good for them.
@@RobertMitchell great video as always. And then to give away some stuff to 2 keyboard warriors is awesome and shows what a decent human being you are! Awesome 👌🆒️🙌👌 stuff.

I had started writing a mile long comment but I'm just gonna say: I'm glad I've found Misha's and Robert's channel in these difficult times. I can't wait for things to get back to normal and visit Apex. Just wanna stop by to say hi and do a lap. You've gathered an amazing group of people here and it's a joy to read the comment section.
Welcome aboard! I think I speak for all of us when I say I hope that life gets back to normal soon so more people can come and enjoy the track! Hang in there man :-)
You Don’t Get To 59k Friends Without Making a Few Enemies. No matter who you are and what you do, you won't be able to please everyone. Just focus on the positive, on the guys that appreciate who you are and what you do.
I think as this video has proved, if you take both in your stride and even challenge the negatives, you can (at times) turn it back around. I do like the old saying “keep your friends close and your enemies closer” though !
Your lap in the E30 with Misha and the sun setting, was epic! Two petrol heads in an iconic car on an iconic track grinning like two Cheshire cats, giggling like kids and geeking out on the engineering of the car. I can’t think of a better end to a day?
In honesty yours and Mischas channels are pretty much the only ones (And Harry's garage obviously) I watch now. Genuinely feel as if I could walk into Apex in the summer and have no problem saying "Hey Robert, got time for a chat?" Really engaging person. Thanks for putting the time in.
Be it TH-cam or real world there will always be people who want to try bring others down to their level. The guy who thinks you should be focused solid on driving is the sort of guy who has no place in TF! When you talk to camera, you can see how aware you are moving over, signalling, and running far from 10/10 it's a cruising lap
Another proof of Robert reading all comments. It's really fascinating to see someone always trying to have a respectful conversation, even with trolls, that's a life lesson.
I'm a little older than you and care not what people think or say about me. Your videos are always honest, transparent and informative. Just stay true to yourself. Cheers!
Your comment section is not that toxic Robert and luckily mine is similar. When you try to help people just treat it like an argument. I always try to remember it's nice to be nice! Your M3 is amazing BTW!
The comment section is absolutely amazing and that’s something I’m very proud of! That’s probably why negative comments stand out even more so and it’s addressed
@@RobertMitchell funnily enough after watching up to the 12min mark I have just recorded a video today about how I safely film my videos and drive at the same time. This was in response to a number of my viewers saying similar things as you mention in this upload. Things that seem so complicated to some won't be the same for all. I'll be over for my first lap as soon as allowed. Great job!
You Sir are a gentleman . Yourself and Misha are amongst the most genuine , down to earth people on TH-cam. Keeping it real , positive , knowledgeable and having fun with total professionalism . Rare attributes these days .
@@RobertMitchell Cheap photographer's trick - if you have an old or spare pair that you can stand to wear, remove the lenses and save minutes of time in Photoshop
That is commendable and also a moment of pause to each and everyone of us to self-evaluate and how to defuse a potentially explosive situation and extending an olive branch. Testament not only to your empathy but also in the effort to go out of your way to set a reference point from which a contributor in the comment section also stops and reflects on what they are about to post. One of the few and high-watermark positive outcomes I have seen during a period when there is a lot of drama and undesired outcomes. Kudos for taking the proverbial moral high-ground!
impressive to see the mature and balanced approach as to how you have handled the situation Robert.... I do hope that the guys take up the opportunity and have a really great experience given it appears they are both passionate people - for me this is a really good story and let’s face it the world needs good stories to be shared at the moment.
Well, probably I'm gonna write two comments. It's just because of these two that came really hard on you. The first one, as you said, it's very important. It means that he had second thoughts. It means that he doesn't want to spread hate. Instead, he wanted things to end peacefully. Besides, a lot of people probably don't know this. Having resources or not, the fact is, the person gets more knowledge. It's not like learning from a book or from the internet (now there's also a lot of information). Once back in 2002 I helped my uncle (he is a mechanic) putting back parts of a Ford Fiesta engine (the 2nd gen, I think). Of course, I didn't become any pro just because of that, but it was already great to me. To me what people fail to understand is how great it feels to really have close contact with an engine and/or any other part of an automobile. What you do is better and I'm here to learn, not to hate. Now as for the second one....right. What to say? For some "10s of a second" I thought he was challenging you. That could be interesting if he would then say something like "I've been there for xx years and I did this and that...that curve, you're not doing well, it's really wrong...let's meet at the track and...". I gotta say you had a lot of patience by trying to find out why he was like that. Some may say "he's trying to help or he has good intentions..."...really? No. In the end, he just puts himself into shame. You and Misha have a lot of Km rolling at this track and the guy decides to tell you how to drive there???? And yet without being specific????????? That's an extreme disrespect. One of the things I really don't like in this world. Someone telling you what to do without any knowledge of that task you already did many times. Driving more and talking less, that's what he mentioned before..yes, really smart. I guess in the city we also have to stop talking at once. If I'm riding and any passenger just says "well, we...", I just say "Shut up. I'm driving." Sounds really like a person that doesn't know how driving is at all. Only a person that doesn't understand how stable the driver becomes. I remember a video of a guy once with Misha getting instructions while driving his Murcielago. He was focused and yet he could talk. So it's ridiculous to mention this. Sorry for the long text. I'll try not to write so much on the next comment. E30 M3.
Well done going for laser eye surgery by the way! You are giving me motivation to say goodbye to my glasses! On the online trolls it is hard and I do see the same on my TH-cam channel from time to time also but it is the minority for sure (Thank you for subscribing btw Robert). I think the positive happy people are the ones worth chatting too and building up a great community on a channel but it is important to accept any negative criticism if a large amount of people are saying it. If it is just one person it may not always be justified. Its really hard right now in the world so I know so many people must be stressed and frustrated but I am really happy how it worked out for you after talking to the first subscriber of yours. Ultimately we both run car TH-cam channels and it is just about building up a great community of enthusiasts and I love it for that 👍
Wow Robert!! Strong move from both yourself and Silkysixx. Respect! Great line too, 'adds nothing to anybodies life, least of all mine' Love watching you guys on the 'Ring. I will come visit one day!
I really dont know about many people with this approach on youtube scene, keep it up, its amazing! Hopefully i can get to Apex sometime when this covid situation is over, Czech government is killing it rn..
Love content and the chemistry of you and Misha. I can see why you two are such good friends and why you are held in respect by most people me included.
He can't make this the norm. As the trolls will come more, as they might get engagement. Catch 22 situation. Best to just ignore them or one-word replies in my opinion.
@@itisjustacomment Yeah, agree 100%. It's really interesting that there was an actual reasonable person behind one comment and was able to go back and see what he/she did wrong. I think I have never seen that online, ever. Maybe all hope is not lost?
I’m more and more impressed with the way you are handling things, Robert. One day, I absolutely will have to visit Apex and the ring. Looking forward to it.
I don't know if they will take your offer, but it shows how good of a person you are by at least offering the oppurtunity to them. I can only appreciate your attitude to a topic like this, normally people would just ingore the haters
Lots of good info and I like the mature way you and Silky handled his first comment and came to respect one another. Being humble and respectful is a lost art in this day and age.
@Robert Mitchell, Your channel is such an oasis of positivity! I think you'd also be good at reading bed-time stories, but stick to what you are already doing please!
Ah, haters. After over 10 years of driving HONDA automobiles they are as natural to me like lightning and thunder, the one can't be without the other. ;) For a time they have been dragging me down, but lucky for me I also met a lot of interesting and cool people. One person I actually never met, who runs a fab shop in Upland California, working on all kinds of cars but he started with a HONDA CRX. And his take on it was: "Only success breeds enemies". I learned that haters are often very sad people who just want to drag you down, so they are not alone in their shitty place. Most haters only see what you have got, not the sweat, blood, tears and effort it takes to get there. They remind me of a little kid, putting their foot down and raising their voice why they can't have another pudding. So whenever I get hate nowadays (I'm joblevel 1 btw ;D), it actually makes me happy because it shows that I must be doing at least some things right in my life. ;) Nobody cares if you are a Hans Wurst! Have a good time chatting while driving the safest country road in the world. :)
You'll have to look very very far, to find such a diplomatic gesture like that !!!! Deepest respect to you Robert, for reaching out in such way - not so much because of the mind-blowing giveaway, but in the way you're doing it... Admirable !!
Amazing. I love your attitude Robert. Share the feelings joy and happiness that the Nordschliefe brings you with those who do not get it or aren’t able to experience it themselves. Such a great gesture of spreading the love of the sport and nordschliefe. 👏
Agree. A video you didn’t need to make but one of the things that i like about Apex is all the teams intelligent approach to fast driving and Robert, this channel is educational for me. In a world obsessed with cancelling and he art of dialogue and discussion becoming a rarity I have found your channel refreshing and very informative. I have spent months in lockdowns watching your laps and Mischa’s videos are excellent as well. I have been learning so much. I have always been fascinated by ‘The Ring’ and Apex has given me a desire and confidence to visit, get some tuition and do some laps in your rental cars. I happened to catch a video of Robert driving the pista about 10 months ago and warmed to his driving style, lines and observations and I knew I found a new home. I loved the tyres video and love this channel so keep up the good work and i hope to meet all the team one day.
That was a boss move Robert. Nothing but respect to you and the Apex team for being level headed and not getting caught up in negative back and forth with negative commenters.
Honestly, I think a lot of bad youtube comments come from the fact that most TH-camrs don't respond or care about their comments. What I really appreciate from your channel and Misha as well is that I always see you guys responding to comments which is much more engaging from my side. Your videos have been great to watch and I really appreciate them. Love from San Jose California.
Major props to you and Silkysixx for the way things ended, especially for something on the web. Intelligent and mature conversations are one of the reasons I love your channel so much.
I have great respect for you taking time en putting energy in the discussions with those trolls. A lot of TH-camrs just simply ignore them. What you have created in the comment section is an environment where people can share their opinion and have normal conversations. I like that. Normally I never comment on video’s I just watch. But this time I was really encouraged and felt safe to leave a comment. I honestly hope that as the channel grows and there might be more of those trolls you will not be effected by those negative people. There are tons of examples where TH-camrs and other famous people are effected mentally by those “keyboard warriors”. I heard Tim (shmee150) talking on a podcast a while ago about this subject, and he had a great perspective on it. Yes there might be one or two negative people in the comment section, but look at the amounts of positive people. Anyways, keep up the great videos
You way of thinking and outtake on life is so inspirational. Things like this is what revives faith in humanity. I love every video you and Mischa make, you are so lucky to have such a great group of people around you
I grew up not too far from the Nürburgring, I love the 24 hrs race, I had the immense pleasure of being in the pits at a VLN race and taking a seat as a passenger in a VLN car for a lap around the Nürburgring. I found Misha's and your channel a while ago and I adore the Apex content. I wish some day to have the means to book a day of instructions with one of your guys because what I see on your channels is nothing but pure joy. Apart from that you both appear as genuine lovers of what you do and amazing people. We need guys like you. Thanks for all the content. And thanks for showing what the TF are about: fun and safety. Not grinding for the 10th of a second BTG ...
100% on point Robert! I have 3 points 1, he has clearly never heard of the 4 stages of learning a new skill #1, unconscious unknowing = you have no idea it even exists #2 conscious unknowing = you now know of it but don't know how to do it/understand it. #3 conscious knowing = you can now do it/understand it but you have to pay it great attention. #4 unconscious knowing = you don't even have to think about it. You could do it in your sleep. 2, With that in mind, he has clearly never stuck to anything longer than step three in his life and can't grasp the concept of someone being able to do what you do. 3, I would also give the example of being a motorbike rider. Ask any motorbike rider of some experience and they can probably tell you where ever manhole, excessive lane markings, painted over lane markings, the dips and humps that cause oil to drop off leaking cars is all over there city. If not.further! And much like your example of reading where and how a driver you're approaching will behave. I've often spin non-car people out with the ability to call what is going to happen up ahead as well as what is coming up behind with certain cars because your brain is finely tuned to process all these things without having to dedicate any real brain power to them. It's even to a level were you can say, "watch this guy, he'll do a terrible lane change in 4-3-2-1-and sure enough, away they go. I really applaud your attitude and approach when dealing with all that comes with stepping into the public eye.
Wow!! Wild giveaway.. Would love to have that experience. Think it's really importent to acknowledge when you know you are wrong. Not many people do that.
Nice to see the way you run your TH-cam channel. Mature content 👌. In truth some people get jealous when they see you living and earning from your passion and dreams. Others, thankfully the majority, would celebrate your success. It allows us all to share in your experience and may spark our imagination and bring dreams into reality. Keep doing what you are doing!
I appreciate that! I'm really glad that you're enjoying the content Edward, and thank you for the feedback. We are putting a lot of time into the channel and I'm glad to see that it's coming across with comments like this :-) have a great day
I think people are very indoctrinated through society to really jump on people for not communicating things the way they are use to. Its something that depending on your upbringing and geographical location can be made much worse. I see it like this, if we can get on the same page to communicate, your terminology really isn't important, or pronunciation even. People with different accents, regions, and ages all pronounce the same words slightly different. or even have a different set of terms for the same thing. This isn't something to jump down peoples throats and correct. As long as you know what they are talking about the goal of communication has been fufilled. Be respectful and give people some respect. Cause its really an extremely rude thing to do.
@@RobertMitchell Robert your a class guy , not only do I find your in depth knowledge for cars fantastic but how you approach negative situation in a constructive positive manner , we need more people like you in all walks of life . I its amazing how you have made being nice an art form when most people find it challenging. Keep up the fantastic work brother , can I have a free t-shirt lol
Gotta love Robert, no matter what he's always trying to find a way to fix things, even if its a troll having a bad day. It's things like this that make me love this channel even more.
I've never felt the urge to really travel anywhere in the world, but thanks to you and Misha, I need to make a pilgrimage to the Nürburgring when things are better in the world. Thanks for sharing your passion for it.
@@RobertMitchell oh, I actually wanted to comment on that too. It's almost strange to hear such a high quality sound on TH-cam. What I wanted to say though, is that your voice sounds lower than usually (or to be precise, low tones seem to be mostly heard if that makes sense). I assume it's just the new set-up of audio, so that you sound more sexy ;)
I ignore haters, except those that provide some help or insight. I love to try to use their ideas for new videos. Makes me do more research and learn. Great to hear the guy end up helping and doing good...
Respect Robert. I think comments from trolls are very much about themselves and frequently are to do with misconceptions and/or expectations about how other people "should" feel about any given topic. Very well handled and with total class.
The comparison between driving TF and autobahn/highways is spot on. You know, or have a feeling, whether someone will deveate from their line, you know without thinking what to expect, and if you want to drive safe, you calculate their behavior into your own actions.
The phrase "a breath of fresh air" is not only often used but also 100% true. The only person who sits and talks to you, you complete stranger. A person who pays personal attention, as if you are in a bad mood and this is the person with whom you can have a calm and normal conversation. People, this should be the internet, bringing us together and sharing knowledge, and not as it is now, watching fake people with fake feelings. Misha, Robert - I don't comment often, but I watch every single video - don't stop with the wonderful work! Also, no glasses - VERY NICE (Borat very nice )
Love the channel. It's amazing to me how somebody can post negative comments on such a genuinely positive channel. Keep doing you Robert. The channel is Tier 1.
if you cant talk and drive a road or track your done over 100 times, then your doing something wrong. when just cruising, its no different to a back road! Ive seen race car drivers, mid race, talking to commentators and still pull off safe passes while doing so! Keep up the work guys!
My way with words isn’t up to snuff to be able telling how Tier1 this vid is. So I’ll leave it at this: Thanks for taking the time in highlighting these interactions. Especially Silkysixx’ comment. That was a special one. But hopefully an inspiration for many more. Cheers guys
What I can understand and relate to the comment of taking seriously the track is that usually when you get too confident doing something, is when you start taking unnecessary risk without noticing it. An analogy to this...Usually experienced carpenters are the ones missing a finger. Regardless of that, keep it safe and continue showing the love for the ring.
You’re 100% correct and that’s when somebody lacks the maturity to hold them selves back from the absolute limit. One thing you’ll notice is that I’m always reserved and don’t care who passes me
I completely understand how Robert feels about the Ring and being comfortable. My "track" has been some 200 kms in three different directions from a town in northwest Norway. I knew these roads, with every turn and bump from before I got my license, and could drive them with a flow that even amazed the driving school teacher before "licensed", as I had practiced a lot together with my mother. I am now in my 50´s, still an incurable car- or motor-freak, living for 25 years in a different part of the country, and can still drive these stretches of road at good tempo at the same time as I speak with my children, if there on holiday. It's like on auto pilot, but every "attention-sign" is still there. One pick the line to stay well over on the right side at the point of meeting a car, one look for deers at the place one know they cross, one avoid the bumps to save the suspension at the same time as one make an effective line, etc, etc. Btw, I wish you good luck with the Yaris, and hope Toyota finds some weakness somewhere, so that they decide to cover your expenses.
Why are you such a nice guy! It’s very rare to see genuine people with no motive on TH-cam and you are the best. Keep doing what your doing! Misha is also ok 😂
I have driven a road twice a day for 10 years dropping my children to school... I known where drain covers are, dips undulations how the sun effects things where puddles form. I have practised different lines through roundabouts... I am aware that there can be cyclists and farm vehicals... 10000 hours gets you too a level... a lifetime elevates from there!! Sunday i went out in the country and drove the usual roads just me and chilled it was so much fun. To have the Ring as your driving fun would be amazing!
Been following yourself and Misha for a while and for any new Tier 1, this behaviour is not new or a publicity stunt. Mr Mitchell genuinely appreciates the people that love and have an interest in the Nurburgring and cars. Kudos Mr Mitchell, outstanding result of turning a negative into a positive 👏. Hope the 2 parties appreciate the effort and consideration.
I actually quite enjoy reading people’s comments on these videos, just to see the opinions of others and how they’ve interpreted the message or content shown. Also, 6000 laps / 27 years is hilarious & slightly scary - when I watch the videos of the laps it never seems that long (never been but it is a life goal of mine one day) so to consider it’d take 27 years to do that same mileage I’d mind boggling to me !! Great content as usual 👍
Robert, people who write negative comments usually are quite fed up in themselves, as we found with the 1st example and I was mightily impressed with his final comment, an honest guy, wow!
Nothing but respect for you guys. Robert. Amazing way to handle negativity. No aggression. Dialogue is always the best way to go. Huge respect for the transparency and honesty whit the Yaris. Keep up the great work.
I’d love to see a guide how and when to safely just take a drive on the Nordschleife, e.g. not exceeding 100-120 kph, having the top down and just enjoying it.
What super nice guy. Very genuine and humble. Also articulate and well informed on his chosen subjects. Really enjoyed that. Takes someone with real character to approach this topic in the way he has.
Really great to hear about the kids, my daughter has already had her first lap when her mum was pregnant, this year I will bring her for her first "outside" lap in my Miata
Thanks Robert. One of the issues with TierOne is that you become a target. It is frustrating but as you are pointing out, an opportunity to converse and teach. I commend you for your great attitude and ability to rise above. I am more than ever looking forward to the day I will be able to visit, ride and chat. Keep the faith.
Mind-blowing attitude. i have been following you and Misha for a long time, your ethics and positive open attitude have created a really cool group of people, even including the haters that get lectured from time to time, around you guys. For sure Apex will be in the future a legendary name (I know it already is). And for sure it will be my first stop in Germany after the world reopens and we can travel freely again. The only confusing part of this video was looking at Robert without eyeglasses.
Regarding the E30 color, I’d love to see how just some of its panels look in vantablack. You’ll be repainting it anyways so it might just be worth a try to make something unique and the “boxier” shape may make a better outcome than the X6’s potato shape.
Robert, you are a legend. Those who don’t like you are just jealous. After covid, my goal is to come stay at your hotel and get some driving lessons from you ❤️
Fantastic offer, and a great leveller. Will be interesting to see if they both come forward and take you up on it. Hopefully they appreciate how genuine an offer it is and can work something out.
Well said Robert. I think you really hit the nail on the head when you started talking about different people and their different professions. If you have the equivalent of 27 years experience at one job or profession then you certainly should have the ability to "walk and chew gum" so to speak. While you were talking about your route to work an old saying I heard years ago came to mind. It goes something like this:" An amateur practices until he gets it right while a professional practices until he doesn't get it wrong." That's why after 6k laps you should be able to be, not blasé about driving the Nurburgring, but relaxed enough to talk while doing it.
I doubt I'll ever get to Nurburgring. Robert - you and Mischa let me share the emotion more than any watching any vln or 24hr race ever could :) That's the point of talking your way around the track, and this follower loves it.
Don't let a hand full of commenters get under your skin. Your show is fantastic and the drive and talk perspective is very appreciated by the BMW community. I would love to be in your position having to talk about engine failures and explaining what happened to the yaris, it gives the viewer the owners perspective which in my opinion is priceless data. Thumbs up from across the pond. My Nurburgring dream is to set a lap record in an E92 335Is. Love the channel keep up all the hard work you do and hats of to you.
Pretty boss move to extend an offer like that to a couple of random hecklers like us! It's that attitude that gave me pause and made me think about how I was carrying myself.
I live waaay too far away to take advantage, unfortunately, and won't be in a place to travel that far until my degree is finished, etc. I do - as any petrolhead must - have a life goal to lap the Ring, though, so we may connect in the future.
In the meantime, if you've budgeted for a couple of laps and a few ancillary costs, can I propose a different use of this? If there is a children's hospital, Ronald McDonald House, or Make-A-Wish-type charity you can connect with, maybe you could give my ride to some boy or girl - or a father thereof - who doesn't have the luxury of planning as far ahead as I do. I'm sure there is somebody out there whose life would be made better by at least as much as mine would by spending a day at the Nordschleife.
If that's not feasible, I'll take a gigantic rain check!
Congratulations to you on your winning attitude and how you interact with viewers - of all types! All the best.
Nothing but respect.
We need more of attitude like both of you guys in car community. Respect.
Straya !!!!
I always thought I had gotten a good attitude by not swearing at people and leaving internet arguments with writing (honest!) well wishes as my last comment, even if the argument was heated. But seeing what you did showed me how to behave even better on the internet if I am at fault for commenting something angry (everyone has a bad day, someday). That really is something to strive towards. Thank you very much, and thank you to Robert, too!
Send it Robert.....on mah way !!
Easily a video you didn't need to make. Easily gifts you didn't need to give. This is initiative. You're practically a modern day hero.
3:47 "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self."
Ever since I read that quote, it has struck a chord with me. I've tried to lead my life by its example since. Admittedly a lot of times less successful than others, but it is still a great concept to keep in mind.
For that person to go back and write that as their comment it meant they realised something about themselves and even though their day may not have started well, it ended on a winning note. Good for them.
I was very impressed by that!
That is actually a phrase of summary of a worthy life, I guess.
I love that quote. Something to remember. Another quote I'll never forget is: "A gentleman never speaks ill of those less fortunate than himself."

Robert Mitchell: Troll Rehabilitation Consultant 😉
The positivity of yours and Misha's channel is what keeps me coming back. That, and the insights of running a business at the 'ring
I had started writing a mile long comment but I'm just gonna say: I'm glad I've found Misha's and Robert's channel in these difficult times. I can't wait for things to get back to normal and visit Apex. Just wanna stop by to say hi and do a lap. You've gathered an amazing group of people here and it's a joy to read the comment section.
Welcome aboard! I think I speak for all of us when I say I hope that life gets back to normal soon so more people can come and enjoy the track! Hang in there man :-)
You Don’t Get To 59k Friends Without Making a Few Enemies. No matter who you are and what you do, you won't be able to please everyone. Just focus on the positive, on the guys that appreciate who you are and what you do.
I think as this video has proved, if you take both in your stride and even challenge the negatives, you can (at times) turn it back around.
I do like the old saying “keep your friends close and your enemies closer” though !
Your lap in the E30 with Misha and the sun setting, was epic! Two petrol heads in an iconic car on an iconic track grinning like two Cheshire cats, giggling like kids and geeking out on the engineering of the car. I can’t think of a better end to a day?
In honesty yours and Mischas channels are pretty much the only ones (And Harry's garage obviously) I watch now.
Genuinely feel as if I could walk into Apex in the summer and have no problem saying "Hey Robert, got time for a chat?"
Really engaging person. Thanks for putting the time in.
Honored to have you on board!!
Be it TH-cam or real world there will always be people who want to try bring others down to their level. The guy who thinks you should be focused solid on driving is the sort of guy who has no place in TF! When you talk to camera, you can see how aware you are moving over, signalling, and running far from 10/10 it's a cruising lap
Another proof of Robert reading all comments. It's really fascinating to see someone always trying to have a respectful conversation, even with trolls, that's a life lesson.
I think it’s very important to be here in the comments:-)
I'm a little older than you and care not what people think or say about me. Your videos are always honest, transparent and informative. Just stay true to yourself. Cheers!
This! I find the older I get, the less I care.
Your comment section is not that toxic Robert and luckily mine is similar. When you try to help people just treat it like an argument. I always try to remember it's nice to be nice! Your M3 is amazing BTW!
The comment section is absolutely amazing and that’s something I’m very proud of! That’s probably why negative comments stand out even more so and it’s addressed
@@RobertMitchell funnily enough after watching up to the 12min mark I have just recorded a video today about how I safely film my videos and drive at the same time. This was in response to a number of my viewers saying similar things as you mention in this upload. Things that seem so complicated to some won't be the same for all. I'll be over for my first lap as soon as allowed. Great job!
You Sir are a gentleman . Yourself and Misha are amongst the most genuine , down to earth people on TH-cam. Keeping it real , positive , knowledgeable and having fun with total professionalism . Rare attributes these days .
Thank you so much for the kind words Shaun!
After the video "You break our car, we thank you", coming soon : "You roast me online, i invite you to the Nurburgring" 😎
Very cool of you guys putting this together to enlighten and share with those that think they hold opposing views.
I hope that both of them are able to take up the offer
I like you're wording; "those that THINK they hold opposing views." Spot-on.
Robert going sans glasses, so that we as viewers do not have to catch the glare from his lenses. That is mad love.
All for you guys!!!
@@RobertMitchell You can get glasses without, or with less glare to it!
Lots of top tier 1 influencers allready rocking 'm
@@RobertMitchell Cheap photographer's trick - if you have an old or spare pair that you can stand to wear, remove the lenses and save minutes of time in Photoshop
This is maturity and wisdom. Simply great. And I'm amazed by your generosity every time.
Great gesture at the end......now I need to start an argument :-D
You guys are not only cool and extremely good at explaining things but also generous to your trolls.
That is commendable and also a moment of pause to each and everyone of us to self-evaluate and how to defuse a potentially explosive situation and extending an olive branch. Testament not only to your empathy but also in the effort to go out of your way to set a reference point from which a contributor in the comment section also stops and reflects on what they are about to post. One of the few and high-watermark positive outcomes I have seen during a period when there is a lot of drama and undesired outcomes. Kudos for taking the proverbial moral high-ground!
I don’t see how anybody could think the Nurburgring is a joke lol, thanks for the amazing content as always.
what a father daughter relationship: daddy, daddy, i wanna go to bed. you're welcome, let's go for a lap! xD true tier 1 family...
PS. Been following the Apex story for sometime. This video gave me a newfound respect for you.
That was such a great anecdote! :)
impressive to see the mature and balanced approach as to how you have handled the situation Robert.... I do hope that the guys take up the opportunity and have a really great experience given it appears they are both passionate people - for me this is a really good story and let’s face it the world needs good stories to be shared at the moment.
Isn’t that exactly Roberts style.
This channel is a refuge of sensibility and authenticity from the chaos of the internet
Well, probably I'm gonna write two comments. It's just because of these two that came really hard on you. The first one, as you said, it's very important. It means that he had second thoughts. It means that he doesn't want to spread hate. Instead, he wanted things to end peacefully. Besides, a lot of people probably don't know this. Having resources or not, the fact is, the person gets more knowledge. It's not like learning from a book or from the internet (now there's also a lot of information). Once back in 2002 I helped my uncle (he is a mechanic) putting back parts of a Ford Fiesta engine (the 2nd gen, I think). Of course, I didn't become any pro just because of that, but it was already great to me. To me what people fail to understand is how great it feels to really have close contact with an engine and/or any other part of an automobile. What you do is better and I'm here to learn, not to hate.
Now as for the second one....right. What to say? For some "10s of a second" I thought he was challenging you. That could be interesting if he would then say something like "I've been there for xx years and I did this and that...that curve, you're not doing well, it's really wrong...let's meet at the track and...". I gotta say you had a lot of patience by trying to find out why he was like that. Some may say "he's trying to help or he has good intentions..."...really? No. In the end, he just puts himself into shame. You and Misha have a lot of Km rolling at this track and the guy decides to tell you how to drive there???? And yet without being specific????????? That's an extreme disrespect. One of the things I really don't like in this world. Someone telling you what to do without any knowledge of that task you already did many times.
Driving more and talking less, that's what he mentioned before..yes, really smart. I guess in the city we also have to stop talking at once. If I'm riding and any passenger just says "well, we...", I just say "Shut up. I'm driving." Sounds really like a person that doesn't know how driving is at all. Only a person that doesn't understand how stable the driver becomes. I remember a video of a guy once with Misha getting instructions while driving his Murcielago. He was focused and yet he could talk. So it's ridiculous to mention this.
Sorry for the long text. I'll try not to write so much on the next comment. E30 M3.
No apology needed! I appreciate the thoughtful comments. That’s what makes this section so special. You guys are really on it
@@RobertMitchell Thanks. I fill great to be here.
Well done going for laser eye surgery by the way! You are giving me motivation to say goodbye to my glasses! On the online trolls it is hard and I do see the same on my TH-cam channel from time to time also but it is the minority for sure (Thank you for subscribing btw Robert). I think the positive happy people are the ones worth chatting too and building up a great community on a channel but it is important to accept any negative criticism if a large amount of people are saying it. If it is just one person it may not always be justified. Its really hard right now in the world so I know so many people must be stressed and frustrated but I am really happy how it worked out for you after talking to the first subscriber of yours. Ultimately we both run car TH-cam channels and it is just about building up a great community of enthusiasts and I love it for that 👍
Robert & Misha you two are probably the most genuine and generous guys on TH-cam. Absolute legends, killing hate with love ❤️
Kill em with love!👊❤️
One of the best life lessons. Your kids are very lucky to have you as someone who teaches them life. Keep it up!
Wow Robert!! Strong move from both yourself and Silkysixx. Respect!
Great line too, 'adds nothing to anybodies life, least of all mine'
Love watching you guys on the 'Ring.
I will come visit one day!
I really dont know about many people with this approach on youtube scene, keep it up, its amazing! Hopefully i can get to Apex sometime when this covid situation is over, Czech government is killing it rn..
Love content and the chemistry of you and Misha. I can see why you two are such good friends and why you are held in respect by most people me included.
Thanks for recording this! You might also be the first person ever, to defeat a keyboard warrior. :) Also, please keep the M3 blue, it's soooo good!
He can't make this the norm.
As the trolls will come more, as they might get engagement. Catch 22 situation. Best to just ignore them or one-word replies in my opinion.
@@itisjustacomment Yeah, agree 100%. It's really interesting that there was an actual reasonable person behind one comment and was able to go back and see what he/she did wrong. I think I have never seen that online, ever. Maybe all hope is not lost?
@@WeAreShifted I've seen it a couple of times. But I also remember there are a great deal of very immature children on here :)
I’m more and more impressed with the way you are handling things, Robert. One day, I absolutely will have to visit Apex and the ring. Looking forward to it.
I don't know if they will take your offer, but it shows how good of a person you are by at least offering the oppurtunity to them. I can only appreciate your attitude to a topic like this, normally people would just ingore the haters
Lots of good info and I like the mature way you and Silky handled his first comment and came to respect one another. Being humble and respectful is a lost art in this day and age.
Robert I'd be careful saying someone was pounding it into you.
It's amazing that you and Misha take the time to talk to the fans and integrate.
@Robert Mitchell, Your channel is such an oasis of positivity! I think you'd also be good at reading bed-time stories, but stick to what you are already doing please!
Hahahah. I could record a book reading
The timestamps are the most underrated TH-cam features ever. Thank you Robert.
Ah, haters. After over 10 years of driving HONDA automobiles they are as natural to me like lightning and thunder, the one can't be without the other. ;)
For a time they have been dragging me down, but lucky for me I also met a lot of interesting and cool people.
One person I actually never met, who runs a fab shop in Upland California, working on all kinds of cars but he started with a HONDA CRX.
And his take on it was:
"Only success breeds enemies".
I learned that haters are often very sad people who just want to drag you down, so they are not alone in their shitty place.
Most haters only see what you have got, not the sweat, blood, tears and effort it takes to get there.
They remind me of a little kid, putting their foot down and raising their voice why they can't have another pudding.
So whenever I get hate nowadays (I'm joblevel 1 btw ;D), it actually makes me happy because it shows that I must be doing at least some things right in my life. ;)
Nobody cares if you are a Hans Wurst!
Have a good time chatting while driving the safest country road in the world. :)
You'll have to look very very far, to find such a diplomatic gesture like that !!!!
Deepest respect to you Robert, for reaching out in such way - not so much because of the mind-blowing giveaway, but in the way you're doing it...
Admirable !!
Thanks for the kind words Thomas. I hope you enjoyed the video! :-)
Amazing. I love your attitude Robert. Share the feelings joy and happiness that the Nordschliefe brings you with those who do not get it or aren’t able to experience it themselves. Such a great gesture of spreading the love of the sport and nordschliefe. 👏
Agree. A video you didn’t need to make but one of the things that i like about Apex is all the teams intelligent approach to fast driving and Robert, this channel is educational for me. In a world obsessed with cancelling and he art of dialogue and discussion becoming a rarity I have found your channel refreshing and very informative. I have spent months in lockdowns watching your laps and Mischa’s videos are excellent as well. I have been learning so much. I have always been fascinated by ‘The Ring’ and Apex has given me a desire and confidence to visit, get some tuition and do some laps in your rental cars. I happened to catch a video of Robert driving the pista about 10 months ago and warmed to his driving style, lines and observations and I knew I found a new home. I loved the tyres video and love this channel so keep up the good work and i hope to meet all the team one day.
Glad to have you on board and thank you so much for the observations here!! We really do try hard:-)
That was a boss move Robert. Nothing but respect to you and the Apex team for being level headed and not getting caught up in negative back and forth with negative commenters.
Honestly, I think a lot of bad youtube comments come from the fact that most TH-camrs don't respond or care about their comments. What I really appreciate from your channel and Misha as well is that I always see you guys responding to comments which is much more engaging from my side. Your videos have been great to watch and I really appreciate them. Love from San Jose California.
Major props to you and Silkysixx for the way things ended, especially for something on the web.
Intelligent and mature conversations are one of the reasons I love your channel so much.
I have great respect for you taking time en putting energy in the discussions with those trolls. A lot of TH-camrs just simply ignore them. What you have created in the comment section is an environment where people can share their opinion and have normal conversations. I like that. Normally I never comment on video’s I just watch. But this time I was really encouraged and felt safe to leave a comment. I honestly hope that as the channel grows and there might be more of those trolls you will not be effected by those negative people. There are tons of examples where TH-camrs and other famous people are effected mentally by those “keyboard warriors”. I heard Tim (shmee150) talking on a podcast a while ago about this subject, and he had a great perspective on it. Yes there might be one or two negative people in the comment section, but look at the amounts of positive people. Anyways, keep up the great videos
Baby steps. There’s hope for us all. Amazing attitude Robert. And amazing attitude from the anonymous fellows rolling back less gentle comments 👍
You way of thinking and outtake on life is so inspirational. Things like this is what revives faith in humanity. I love every video you and Mischa make, you are so lucky to have such a great group of people around you
I grew up not too far from the Nürburgring, I love the 24 hrs race, I had the immense pleasure of being in the pits at a VLN race and taking a seat as a passenger in a VLN car for a lap around the Nürburgring. I found Misha's and your channel a while ago and I adore the Apex content. I wish some day to have the means to book a day of instructions with one of your guys because what I see on your channels is nothing but pure joy. Apart from that you both appear as genuine lovers of what you do and amazing people. We need guys like you. Thanks for all the content. And thanks for showing what the TF are about: fun and safety. Not grinding for the 10th of a second BTG ...
Robert, I really appreciate your openness, don't get too dragged down into back and forth with these negative comments
100% on point Robert!
I have 3 points
1, he has clearly never heard of the 4 stages of learning a new skill
#1, unconscious unknowing = you have no idea it even exists
#2 conscious unknowing = you now know of it but don't know how to do it/understand it.
#3 conscious knowing = you can now do it/understand it but you have to pay it great attention.
#4 unconscious knowing = you don't even have to think about it. You could do it in your sleep.
2, With that in mind, he has clearly never stuck to anything longer than step three in his life and can't grasp the concept of someone being able to do what you do.
3, I would also give the example of being a motorbike rider. Ask any motorbike rider of some experience and they can probably tell you where ever manhole, excessive lane markings, painted over lane markings, the dips and humps that cause oil to drop off leaking cars is all over there city. If not.further! And much like your example of reading where and how a driver you're approaching will behave. I've often spin non-car people out with the ability to call what is going to happen up ahead as well as what is coming up behind with certain cars because your brain is finely tuned to process all these things without having to dedicate any real brain power to them. It's even to a level were you can say, "watch this guy, he'll do a terrible lane change in 4-3-2-1-and sure enough, away they go.
I really applaud your attitude and approach when dealing with all that comes with stepping into the public eye.
Keep setting the example Robert. I love learning from those who are doing it right. Thank you. Stay healthy and stay kind. 👍
Wow!! Wild giveaway.. Would love to have that experience.
Think it's really importent to acknowledge when you know you are wrong. Not many people do that.
Nice to see the way you run your TH-cam channel. Mature content 👌. In truth some people get jealous when they see you living and earning from your passion and dreams. Others, thankfully the majority, would celebrate your success. It allows us all to share in your experience and may spark our imagination and bring dreams into reality. Keep doing what you are doing!
I appreciate that! I'm really glad that you're enjoying the content Edward, and thank you for the feedback. We are putting a lot of time into the channel and I'm glad to see that it's coming across with comments like this :-) have a great day
Very nice to see you addressing unnecessary hate reasonably and soundly. I'm very glad I found your channel, very informative and fun! Good luck
I think people are very indoctrinated through society to really jump on people for not communicating things the way they are use to. Its something that depending on your upbringing and geographical location can be made much worse.
I see it like this, if we can get on the same page to communicate, your terminology really isn't important, or pronunciation even. People with different accents, regions, and ages all pronounce the same words slightly different. or even have a different set of terms for the same thing. This isn't something to jump down peoples throats and correct. As long as you know what they are talking about the goal of communication has been fufilled. Be respectful and give people some respect. Cause its really an extremely rude thing to do.
Yes! There are many ways to overcome cultural differences. Respect is some thing That is universally recognized
@@RobertMitchell
Robert your a class guy , not only do I find your in depth knowledge for cars fantastic but how you approach negative situation in a constructive positive manner , we need more people like you in all walks of life .
I its amazing how you have made being nice an art form when most people find it challenging.
Keep up the fantastic work brother
, can I have a free t-shirt lol
Gotta love Robert, no matter what he's always trying to find a way to fix things, even if its a troll having a bad day. It's things like this that make me love this channel even more.
Thank you for spending time and discussing negative comments. It means a lot to us..... 🙏🏻
I've never felt the urge to really travel anywhere in the world, but thanks to you and Misha, I need to make a pilgrimage to the Nürburgring when things are better in the world. Thanks for sharing your passion for it.
Audio is amazing on these videos :)
I’m glad you’re enjoying that!!!!
@@RobertMitchell oh, I actually wanted to comment on that too. It's almost strange to hear such a high quality sound on TH-cam. What I wanted to say though, is that your voice sounds lower than usually (or to be precise, low tones seem to be mostly heard if that makes sense). I assume it's just the new set-up of audio, so that you sound more sexy ;)
Dude i love how you handle yourself your business and social media. total respect to you and your team.
Hey man, thanks for the message! I'm glad you're liking the content :-)
I ignore haters, except those that provide some help or insight. I love to try to use their ideas for new videos. Makes me do more research and learn. Great to hear the guy end up helping and doing good...
Respect Robert. I think comments from trolls are very much about themselves and frequently are to do with misconceptions and/or expectations about how other people "should" feel about any given topic. Very well handled and with total class.
The comparison between driving TF and autobahn/highways is spot on. You know, or have a feeling, whether someone will deveate from their line, you know without thinking what to expect, and if you want to drive safe, you calculate their behavior into your own actions.
Damn, Robert. Your kids are lucky. My dad used to put me to sleep driving on uninspired, flat American expressways around my neighborhood.
The phrase "a breath of fresh air" is not only often used but also 100% true. The only person who sits and talks to you, you complete stranger. A person who pays personal attention, as if you are in a bad mood and this is the person with whom you can have a calm and normal conversation.
People, this should be the internet, bringing us together and sharing knowledge, and not as it is now, watching fake people with fake feelings.
Misha, Robert - I don't comment often, but I watch every single video - don't stop with the wonderful work!
Also, no glasses - VERY NICE (Borat very nice )
Great new look Robert! Hope the eye inspection and everything after it went really well! :)
Love the channel. It's amazing to me how somebody can post negative comments on such a genuinely positive channel. Keep doing you Robert. The channel is Tier 1.
The voice of experience- an honest rebuke of a troll from a man I believe has a huge level of integrity and humility in equal measure. 👍🏻
if you cant talk and drive a road or track your done over 100 times, then your doing something wrong. when just cruising, its no different to a back road! Ive seen race car drivers, mid race, talking to commentators and still pull off safe passes while doing so! Keep up the work guys!
oh, thats a 'your not doing anything wrong' comment lol
My way with words isn’t up to snuff to be able telling how Tier1 this vid is. So I’ll leave it at this:
Thanks for taking the time in highlighting these interactions. Especially Silkysixx’ comment. That was a special one. But hopefully an inspiration for many more. Cheers guys
What I can understand and relate to the comment of taking seriously the track is that usually when you get too confident doing something, is when you start taking unnecessary risk without noticing it. An analogy to this...Usually experienced carpenters are the ones missing a finger.
Regardless of that, keep it safe and continue showing the love for the ring.
You’re 100% correct and that’s when somebody lacks the maturity to hold them selves back from the absolute limit. One thing you’ll notice is that I’m always reserved and don’t care who passes me
I completely understand how Robert feels about the Ring and being comfortable.
My "track" has been some 200 kms in three different directions from a town in northwest Norway.
I knew these roads, with every turn and bump from before I got my license, and could drive them with a flow that even amazed the driving school teacher before "licensed", as I had practiced a lot together with my mother.
I am now in my 50´s, still an incurable car- or motor-freak, living for 25 years in a different part of the country, and can still drive these stretches of road at good tempo at the same time as I speak with my children, if there on holiday.
It's like on auto pilot, but every "attention-sign" is still there.
One pick the line to stay well over on the right side at the point of meeting a car, one look for deers at the place one know they cross, one avoid the bumps to save the suspension at the same time as one make an effective line, etc, etc.
Btw, I wish you good luck with the Yaris, and hope Toyota finds some weakness somewhere, so that they decide to cover your expenses.
This is how Internet works: Ignore haters. That's it. Profit. (you'll burn out quickly trying to interact with them)
I think so too!
Thanks for the reply. I was the guy who told you your studio monitors were pointing the wrong way : )
Why are you such a nice guy! It’s very rare to see genuine people with no motive on TH-cam and you are the best. Keep doing what your doing! Misha is also ok 😂
Thank you J Misha and I both enjoy people and what we do:-).
That is a great gesture! I really appreciate that. - Especially in times when a propper conversation seems sometimes almost impossible.
I have to say I really appreciate these type of videos from you. Calm, intelligent and humble. Keep keeping it classy Robert 👍
I have driven a road twice a day for 10 years dropping my children to school...
I known where drain covers are, dips undulations how the sun effects things where puddles form.
I have practised different lines through roundabouts...
I am aware that there can be cyclists and farm vehicals...
10000 hours gets you too a level... a lifetime elevates from there!!
Sunday i went out in the country and drove the usual roads just me and chilled it was so much fun. To have the Ring as your driving fun would be amazing!
This is awesome. Good on you and I look forward to hearing the feedback from the folks (if they take up the offer!).
Fingers crossed!
Been following yourself and Misha for a while and for any new Tier 1, this behaviour is not new or a publicity stunt. Mr Mitchell genuinely appreciates the people that love and have an interest in the Nurburgring and cars. Kudos Mr Mitchell, outstanding result of turning a negative into a positive 👏. Hope the 2 parties appreciate the effort and consideration.
I actually quite enjoy reading people’s comments on these videos, just to see the opinions of others and how they’ve interpreted the message or content shown.
Also, 6000 laps / 27 years is hilarious & slightly scary - when I watch the videos of the laps it never seems that long (never been but it is a life goal of mine one day) so to consider it’d take 27 years to do that same mileage I’d mind boggling to me !!
Great content as usual 👍
Brilliant response! If you ever get tired of lapping the Ring, we need a guy like you in our Customer Support team :)
Robert, people who write negative comments usually are quite fed up in themselves, as we found with the 1st example and I was mightily impressed with his final comment, an honest guy, wow!
Nothing but respect for you guys. Robert. Amazing way to handle negativity. No aggression. Dialogue is always the best way to go. Huge respect for the transparency and honesty whit the Yaris. Keep up the great work.
In my opinion, you come across with honesty and dignity, the few who don't like you don't have those qualities, simples
I’d love to see a guide how and when to safely just take a drive on the Nordschleife, e.g. not exceeding 100-120 kph, having the top down and just enjoying it.
What super nice guy. Very genuine and humble. Also articulate and well informed on his chosen subjects. Really enjoyed that. Takes someone with real character to approach this topic in the way he has.
Thank you John! Have a great day man
I really appreciate how we as a channel talk about issues like the ones brought up in this video
Hi Nicholas, it's the only way we will progress haha glad you're enjoying the channel! :-)
Really great to hear about the kids, my daughter has already had her first lap when her mum was pregnant, this year I will bring her for her first "outside" lap in my Miata
That’s awesome. Can’t wait to hear how this goes. BE SAFE!!!
@@RobertMitchell just look out for the bright green Miata
Thanks Robert. One of the issues with TierOne is that you become a target. It is frustrating but as you are pointing out, an opportunity to converse and teach. I commend you for your great attitude and ability to rise above.
I am more than ever looking forward to the day I will be able to visit, ride and chat. Keep the faith.
Mind-blowing attitude. i have been following you and Misha for a long time, your ethics and positive open attitude have created a really cool group of people, even including the haters that get lectured from time to time, around you guys. For sure Apex will be in the future a legendary name (I know it already is). And for sure it will be my first stop in Germany after the world reopens and we can travel freely again. The only confusing part of this video was looking at Robert without eyeglasses.
Regarding the E30 color, I’d love to see how just some of its panels look in vantablack. You’ll be repainting it anyways so it might just be worth a try to make something unique and the “boxier” shape may make a better outcome than the X6’s potato shape.
Robert, you are a legend.
Those who don’t like you are just jealous.
After covid, my goal is to come stay at your hotel and get some driving lessons from you ❤️
Gordon it will be a pleasure to see you at the ring!
Fantastic offer, and a great leveller. Will be interesting to see if they both come forward and take you up on it. Hopefully they appreciate how genuine an offer it is and can work something out.
Thanks for being so honest, your children are lucky to have you for their father.
Well said Robert. I think you really hit the nail on the head when you started talking about different people and their different professions. If you have the equivalent of 27 years experience at one job or profession then you certainly should have the ability to "walk and chew gum" so to speak. While you were talking about your route to work an old saying I heard years ago came to mind. It goes something like this:" An amateur practices until he gets it right while a professional practices until he doesn't get it wrong." That's why after 6k laps you should be able to be, not blasé about driving the Nurburgring, but relaxed enough to talk while doing it.
I doubt I'll ever get to Nurburgring. Robert - you and Mischa let me share the emotion more than any watching any vln or 24hr race ever could :) That's the point of talking your way around the track, and this follower loves it.
Don't let a hand full of commenters get under your skin. Your show is fantastic and the drive and talk perspective is very appreciated by the BMW community. I would love to be in your position having to talk about engine failures and explaining what happened to the yaris, it gives the viewer the owners perspective which in my opinion is priceless data. Thumbs up from across the pond. My Nurburgring dream is to set a lap record in an E92 335Is. Love the channel keep up all the hard work you do and hats of to you.
