It was a nice thing from Nico to say of course, but also a logical one. Because its impressive to be able to make such an observation when you are put in such a car/ experience.
Seriously! I remember watching his controller stuff on Forza wayyyy back. Who'd have thought he'd end up here! Massively proud of Steve. Dude deserves all the success.
Just casually telling the Aston Martin test driver (and former F1 ace) that their 4 million dollar track-focused hypercar is a tad understeery. As you do 😅
They make it like that deliberately. Remember that this is a car which anyone can but and therefore they need to cater it to drivers that aren't professionals.
@@Super_GT I feel like you'd have to be a nutcase to buy a 4 million dollar track purposed hypercar without being a highly competent driver. I wonder if the understeer can be tuned out for those that are more experienced.
You can always buy used cars though, $30K Vantage and $50K DB9s are out there. Is it a smart financial thing to do? Probably not but you definitely can get one
Love seeing you going places. I've been watching you for years, never would've imagined something like this was even possible. I'm genuinely happy for you
Was lucky enough to hear the 'normal' Valkyrie revving during filming of a video with Rory Reid in the Goodwood paddock the other year - can confirm it was earsplitting. Every single person in the area (me included) put their fingers in their ears in unison when that thing revved😂
i felt that little "oop" in my soul when your foot brushed the mirror getting out lmfao. "hey man you busted the mirror! you better sell your house to buy a replacement"
This is insane. Congratulations man, this is the experience of a lifetime. I'm glad to see the success of your channel has allowed you to do so many things outside of just the core sim racing foundation.
To be honest with you, it has been great to watch you come this far. From racing Sir Lewis Hamilton on GranTurismo to your own karting and Track racing and now these laps with Nico Hülkenberg...purely incredible. It always makes me smile to watch your content :) Keep it up!
Nico winking at Steve at the beginning... then when he ended the lap and entered the pit lane at that insane speed, i asked myself does he do that with everyone? not, that was just for you he said... ♥️ Jokes aside what a nice and humble guy Nico is.
3:51 I was half expecting someone to scream "HELLO STEVE, VIEWERS HERE" Or maybe even Nico.. What's crazy is that when us "normal" people drive any car, we drive at the limit that our brains find "just enough dangerous to not be dangerous". When guys like Nico drive a car, they drive at the limit of that car, regardless of how fast it is. Your brain really needs to be built different to be an accomplished pilot.
Congratulations Steve. The sound of that engine honestly brought tears to my eyes and reminds me that good things do happen to good people. Congrats to Aston Martin not only for building this vehicle but for bringing us along via our Sim King rep, Super GT. A normally refrained and subdued chap, turned to an excited puddle of smiles and giddiness. Fantastic editing too. So happy for you bro
The way I watched this video with a smile on my face. Been watching you for years Steve. You've had so many huge experiences, all so deserved, but I think this one definitely tops the charts! What's next?? That Valkyrie probably left your ears ringing!! What a machine!
Loved the video it had me smiling almost the whole time! You can really fell the energy and excitement in this one, and I especially enjoyed the closing beauty shots! Keep up the driving and practice and maybe one day you'll be driving something like this for a team... Or driving it home! ❤️
Incredible, just the sound of the engine when they pulled off the pit gave me goosebumps. Unreal piece of kit. Also Niko Hulk the legend as the driver, can't top that.
Seeing a racer like you still getting surprised by the g-forces is stunning to see. From now on just drive every car like it was the Valkyrie! Next goal set! 😁
This is probably your best video yet, Steve. I'm smiling ear to ear the whole time for reasons like 1. Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro is probably my favorite track car right now 2. This is a completely new experience from you 3. You, Nico, Henry Catchpole, and James in one frame at one time 4. That "well observed" bit from Nico is just *chef's kiss
Such amazing to see you having these experience. Love to see you having fun driving and been on a 4million, 300kph IRL car. Been following you since 2018, and its still my favourite channel of entire youtube. Congrats Steve, soon you will have more and more things like this.
The sound is on another level and that hearing it through the portal of youtube. Being in person must be heartpounding. A true once in a lifetime expereince!
I wouldn’t even say it’s not a LMH if I was to suddenly come a fortune I’m buying 3 then sending them off to the FIA for homologation by the FIA for bop
This must have been a dream like experience. Very very cool is still a big understatemunt! 7:11 - When Nico first brakes after the straight you really see the difference in handling the braking. His neck stays in position and yours shoots forward. Liked that detail. Hopefully your neck survived though. ;)
Love this!! Nico is so under rated in F1 in my opinion. There are so many seats he can fill and do so much better. A true talent! This is awesome! Thank you for sharing! I'm so jealous!!
If you came away from that without a stain in the underwear department I'd be surprised, that was an awesome ride Steve, thanks for taking us with you.
Hi Steve, if you remember at Whilton Mill 3 years ago Jensen Pughe was air lifted to hospital after breaking his femur. Well he was one of the kids cheering from the balcony of the Silverstone UTC whilst this was being filmed and today he is at the Aston Martin factory putting the finishing touches to the Valkyrie which is heading down to Goodwood to race up the hill. Next week the Valkyrie will also be at Silverstone circuit .
Man you are always posting absolutely amazing IRL videos! If you keep that up I'm sure you'll become one of the best real life racers in what you do best. Cheers mate and never stop working hard for that level up.
Great vid! Struck by how the rear camera shots gave a better sense of the speed than the visor cam. With that wider field of view, things were just flying past insanely fast! Loved the understeer observation and his reaction, right on the money that you could notice that while most anyone else would be wondering if they should have brought a spare pair of underwear!
Nice to see Alex Albon and Nico Hulkenberg spending some quality time together
UUUUUUUUUUUUULKENBEEERG

Hulk for an F1 seat next year confirmed
Wassup twin
It's Hülkenberg not Hulkenberg.
Imagine being blessed with the presence of such greatness. The Hulk must have been in awe.

Pretty poetic if you consider the Valkries carried people to Valhalla in Norse mythology :D lol
That "well observed" comment from Nico will definitely stay with Steve for forever
Yes, thought the same thing. What a cool thing for Nico to say!
It was a nice thing from Nico to say of course, but also a logical one. Because its impressive to be able to make such an observation when you are put in such a car/ experience.
@@bbuttons7941 let alone as a passenger experiencing such speeds for maybe the first time
Nico I just a decent guy it seems.
A new core memory
I hope Hulkenberg learned from this experience. Being in the presence of Scott Speed is an incredible humbling experience
This must be such a great experience meeting your celebrity hero like this, so happy for you Nico
I see what you did there.
Your life is becoming so epic. Its been great watching you along the way.
Such a heartfelt comment from the evolution of Covid
5:50 what a disgrace that guy didn't know who supergt is.
Seriously! I remember watching his controller stuff on Forza wayyyy back. Who'd have thought he'd end up here! Massively proud of Steve. Dude deserves all the success.
Man, I would've just been over the moon to meet Nico let alone ride along in THAT. Incredible experience I'm sure.
Wow from humble beginnings making videos on grand turismo to hot laps with Nico in a friggen Valkyrie. What an experience!
This Nico guy should do this for a living. I'm gonna recommend him next time I meet Gene Haas.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆

Excellent PR move by Aston Martin. I'll definitely think about them when I buy my next ca- oh uh ... yeah right cash uh ...
they got Steve, they got Alonso, they got Drugovich. They´re not playing around, actually they´re gonna get support from a lot of people.
You can always buy used cars though, $30K Vantage and $50K DB9s are out there. Is it a smart financial thing to do? Probably not but you definitely can get one
@@afoxwithahat7846 yee
Its crazy to see how much stronger Nico’s neck is. His head barely moves compared to Steve’s
I mean yeah… it’s likely stronger. He’s also driving though.
He’s got the steering wheel to help him brace
He knows what inputs hes putting in and therefore what forces to brace for is part of it as well
its also the fact that he is steering, so he can compensate better, but still
it helps to be holding onto the wheel
hearing that signature SuperGT closing song with that Valkyrie in the bg just gave me the chills! Congrats Steve on such an epic day!
Love seeing you going places. I've been watching you for years, never would've imagined something like this was even possible. I'm genuinely happy for you
Totally agree! Haven't been watching him that long, but it makes me happy too! :)
Not too often a car can actually come across on screen as that raw but refined. Absolutely savage. Next level content.

Very nice to see Williams and Aston working together to bring us Albon and Hulk in this beast.

The amount of time and effort you put into ur videos is always so cool to see Alex Albon

Incredible. I've never been so excited for someone I've never met. Happy for you! Keep this content up. Karts, Radicals, GT7, loving all of it!
Awe to see the dreams come true,Steve..hard work and perseverance earned you that..much luck in the future,bro!

Love the way the hybrid sounds, that delayed start is just so MEAN.
2:12 Hulkenberg got me questioning my sexuality with that wink
Insane experience. Thanks for sharing it! Good to see Nico around!
Officially made it. Well done and best of luck!!!
Nico is such an amazing personality, great to see him again, and with Albon even!
Incredible, just the sound of the engine when they pulled off the pit gave me goosebumps. Unreal piece of kit. Also Niko Hulk the legend as the driver, can't top that.

Wow, that was incredible to watch on video. I can only imagine what it was like for you to live it. Congratulations! Well done!
With you unlocking the sofa your gonna be driving that next year. 🤣
"Massive Thank You to Nico"
Nico: "Aaah"
Tryna uah
the moment on pit exit when you looked over and had a “holy shit that’s nico hulkenberg” was awesome. can’t even imagine what that’s like
That helmet cam footage is absolutely insane, well done Steve
Damn, I can't believe you got to meet Henry Catchpole.
Omg the excitement in Steve’s voice as the car suddenly starts moving! Like partially scared and excited like no way out now!!! Love it!
That's pretty insane. Lucky fecker!
Even saw Henry Catchpole lurking in the background
Amazing video! Keep up the good work! 👍
What an absolutely incredible opportunity and experience I’m not jealous in the slightest 😒😂👌👌
I felt claustrophobic as you got inside the Aston Martin. Awesome driver and incredible car. As always a nice insight
Wow, GT7 updated graphics are on a whole new level! And it now comes with passenger viewing? I am greatly impressed 😆
