LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!!!! when i was stationed in germany, Sabine was still doing Ring Taxi drives. i went to the track constantly on my days off, and on one particular day, i remember seeing a pretty blond lady in a helmet driving the ring taxi simply RIP past me just before Flugplatz jump. that memory sticks with me, and i feel honored to have been with her on the track!
@@Chris-bz9pg According to some youtubers sponsors seem to pay best if you place it somewhere in between at like 3-4 minutes in depending on the length and stuff, wich is an absolute dick move, at start and end of videos it is pretty easy to just skip it since you didnt engage with the content anyway and probably have your hands on the control elements anyway.
Also a thing that nearly anyone knows is: the Porsche 919 Evo Team called Stefan Beloff's family before they got to try the record and asked them if it would be okay for them, when they try to beat Beloff's record time. His family was okay with that and so they did it😊 Thats some great sportsmanship right there(
I live ~30 Minutes away from the track. It's always fascinating how "the Track nearby" is so legendary and how it gets so much international attention. Very good video btw 👍
i was stationed at Ramstein for about 2 and a half years. i made the trip every time i had days off to thrash my little mk1 vw around the track. i racked up over 100 laps in that tiny car, and it remains the most exciting thing i've ever done, 25 years later! beautiful memories from a beautiful area
That's cool man lol. So because of those track and popularity with car guys coming from all over to the city, is there an increased amount of car shops, mechanic shops or just car related shops?? I figure the auto business industry could be profitable there.
It's a beautiful track, in a beautiful place, but under that beautiful mask hides a true monster. There's no other place like the ring, no other track that can rival it. My friend who used to go there all the time to test his limits described it as "a rally stage, but for cars that should not run a rally stage". If you make one tiny mistake, the ring will take your life. On most permanent tracks you can just push your limits and even get a bit cocky. But do that here and you'll find yourself meeting the barrier at 240 immediately. One more risky part is the weather. The region always has very tricky weather but on the ring one section can be dry like the desert while another part is flooded with rain. If you do visit, be careful, be respectful, and remember that the ring will not forgive. Stay safe
weather is what played part in the Nikki Lauda crash in 76. part of the track was dry, part was wet, due to the massive amount of land the track covers. cars were skittering about because teams didn't know what tires to run on. everyone, including Nikki, was pushing really hard, and that may have played a part in the failure in the rear suspension on the car that caused his fiery spinout. (so glad he survived, and went on to etch his mark as one of the all-time great F1 drivers)
While officially prohibited in public sessions, the chase for laptime records per car model lives on by grassroots drivers in a bit of an underground scene, keyword 'BTG' As a Nürburgring local that has been lapping hundreds of laps per year for almost a decade, I TOTALLY don't know anything about it! 🙂
Very well made documentary! I highly recommend making a pilgrimage to the Nürburgring and doing a few laps there personally, as it's an experience you will never forget.
I think one of the greatest feats ever on the Nurb was when the argentinian Ika brought 3 Torino sedans along with Fangio and won the 84 hours endurance. Yep, you heard that right. Not 24, but 84 HOURS. And for me the craziest manufacturer team endeavor was AMC taking the AMX there in 69 and during the 80's.
Nikki Lauda, one of the most talented Drivers to ever exist, was laughed at and mocked because he asked to boycott the race, I believe on top of not enough marshals it was a race that started in rain but cleared up, but he experienced exactly what he tried to stop. The Nürburgring has insanely unpredictable weather, a couple of years ago during a 24Hr race the race had to be red flagged for some time because of the weather, you had different weather on several parts of the track, and I am not joking, you had blue sky and sunshine on the GP course, a couple km further on the track it was raining, a third of the track saw so much hail that the ground froze over, so much that nobody could get forward any more. And the nights are scary, because there is only lighting on the GP course, the rest is darkness. And Sabine, may she rest in peace, talented and beloved, her spirit lives on with Frikadelli Racing that won the 2023 Nürburgring 24 Hr race in the brand-new Ferrari, it was a race of firsts, First EVER Ferrari win in the 24Hr race, first ever win by a New Zealand driver, first Frikadelli win, and they also smashed the distance record.
I live in Germany and this year summer was my first time Visiting The Ring To experience it in real life with your own car was an Experience I will never forget since then I’m in Love with that track and I will be there again next year when the season starts That was the start of a Love story 😂
Went there for the first time ever as well this year, its incredible. Any car fan should do a lap at some point, even if you have a shit car. I drove a fiat panda and it was the coolest thing I've done in a while
my first lap of the ring was in late 1999 in a crappy mk1 vw that i built. in the 2.5 years i was stationed near Ramstein, i put over 100 laps on the track in that little car. nearly 25 years on, it is still the most exciting thing ive done! i later went to put over 10,000 laps in simulator, and it remains the best ring of tarmac on the planet for me.
This track used to gives me nightmares in Gran Turismo 4. That license test following an R34 in a 190E... and Sabine... I really wish that I could experience being driven by her...
Thank you for this and for including the Donkervoort lap time. Bought my Donkervoort S8 from the German importer who I believe set the lap time you mentioned - great car & great people.
"the impossible lap" I had goosebumps as you were narrating Stefan Bellof's accomplishment of 6:11 (I played it back like 4 times) man's hero his story is definitely worth exploring. The narration, the videos and the way you score your vids good shit looking forward to the next one. Bravo
The team that took a Dodge Viper SVR is a cool story too. I know that they didn't end up breaking the production car record but I think it's worth an honorable mention.
My best time was 9 min. 40 sec. in 1992 , done in an Alfetta GTV 2.0 . It had 155 bhp on 1120 kg . Glad I survived all 60 plus laps I did in 1990 , 91 and 92 without a single scratch . Its the worlds greatest track for shure as is camping Muhlenbach just nearby were we stayed with our club .
919 evo record is awesome. He had to go wide at the carousel but i think still could sub 5:10’s with that. 919 is smaller than most of the cars which is a advantage on this track.
Thanks for the video and including Sabine. I’ve been seeing her and talking to her since I was going there since 2000. She was always friendly and was even in the same pitbox when we were racing VLN some time ago. She will be misssed. Yet, on another more ‘funny’ level, I was there when this Mercedes E-class Estate lost it’s real wheel. We did a few laps the same day, 27 April 2023, and we spent some time watching cars around the track.
Great great video! - Friendly feedback though from a fellow Nordschleife nerd: - You forgot to mention the F1 runs Heidfeld made in 2007 in a BMW Sauber - laps were not timed and slowed to film some sections, but the parts he ran all out could be added together to 5:30 so it could very well be argued that if a 2007 F1 could run a 5:30 with minimal and safe setup, a 5:10 - 5:15 for a 2018-2020 F1 car which is the fastest there is, especially in Q3 trim + suspension. - The time between the Radikals and the 918 were immense, like 10 yrs, and Radikal did make a non track SR8 that also did it under 7min in real street trim on street tires. - Should be emphasized (which you did) that the pre-1969/1970 Nordschleife was much MUCH harder than the 1975-today one - Lot less bumps, more visibility and no trees/hedges/signposts.
I drove for the first time on track on that beast this year. Driving a clapped Fiat around it was terrifiying in a Sea off the latests Porsches and AMGs. I will be back at the start off the season next year for sure.
Funny, I was just stuck in a Auto Addiction worm hole, decided it's time for a couch nap, and well, this video pops up. Couch nap can wait 20 minutes. Always love your little mini-docs.
@colossae3241 same! I know the story well but I like how Hunters Moon puts his videos together. Also the story is relatively unknown for how crazy it is
I got to drive it twice with a rental track cars. My company sent me to Germany on business and I took the opportunity, so glad I did!. Nice video, better than many I have seen.
Trying to drive that track on PlayStation 4 on Gran Turismo spec is a challenge in itself always crashing what a great challenge nonetheless great video by the way
Your videos are always so incredible, I can't even begin to think how much effort these videos take to make. I'll always look forward to more of your videos!
YESSSSS ANOTHER VIDEOOOO. I’m always looking forward to any video made by this legend. Keep up the amazing work and never stop making videos you legend.
I drove the track countless times and managed a 7:27 in a street legal (kind of, because germany😅) car. As i watched the 919Evo Lap record video, i did NOT understand what i was seeing... A corner where i slightly lift at 200km/h the used the e-boost at over 280 and boosted to 330... Its still unreal for me... Im sure he would do the same time without downforce because the weight of his balls would manage it😂. Also thanks for including Sabine, no video about the ring is complete without her mentioning.❤
I saw it live at the Fuchsröhre doing 330 and 3 other places. As soon as I knew it was coming, it was already gone again. Absolutely mind blowing. Even in the slow chicane after the Fuchsröhre, it was scary to watch
i was there in fall and i was very happy with my around 16 Minutes in my 2003 Astra, i mean i knew it a bit from sim but being there with your own car is a whole other level
These videos are always so well made, you definitely deserve more attention, you should do a video on Ayrton Senna and the 80s and early 90s F1 scene in general
Could you do a video on Kamui Kobayashi. If you don't already know him he's a Japanese Driver who's raced in FORMULA Renault, FORMULA 3, GP2, FORMULA 1, Super FORMULA, FORMULA E, NASCAR, Super GT, LMGTE and WEC. He's won WEC twice. He also has the Le Mans lap record (3:27.749) and got a podium in FORMULA 1 with Sauber in 2012 at the Japanese Grand Prix. I love your videos but one thing I think is missing from your recent ones is someone to root for. With Tskuba it was Under Suzuki, With Midnight club it was Yoshida even though he kinda turned out to be a bad guy at the end. With the Phantom of Belgrade it was Vasa Opel. With the Ferrari police car it was Spatafora and with the 10,000,000 Yen Toyota Corolla (My personal favourite video on the channel) there was Akira Iida. The Pikes Peak one is also good cause it focuses on a driver but I haven't watched it enough times yet to remember who. God's Rambo also fits into this but that's less to do with racing which made it less memorable for me but it was still a great video. However with this video I feel it doesn't have that same effect. Don't get me wrong this is an amazing video and I'm comparing it to your other videos but stand alone it's one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam. But the reason I don't like it as much as other ones is cause it's less to do with one driver but instead plenty of stories all to do with one track and well, It's kinda hard to relate with a race track. Out of all of your videos in my opinion the ones that stand out most are Under Suzuki and Akira Iida. With both of those videos we get to see the driver's grow. With Under Suzuki you went over how he continued to build his car to be faster and faster and how he improved as a driver to the point where he's getting closer and closer to the record despite not being crazily funded like the other teams and with Akira Iida in the first half of the video it goes over his growth as a driver. It shows him from his first race then tells us what he did after and shares interesting stories about him like when he raced in Le Mans or tested the Honda F1 prototype and then in the second part it shows him building the car which brings me to another reason I love these two videos (I just noticed it now, That's why it wasn't mentioned sooner) Both of those videos make me want to build a car and drive. I can't get my driver's license yet so I resort to driving in games for hours trying to perfect tunes when I watch the Akira Iida video and perfect laps to get faster and faster lap times when I watch the Under Suzuki video. Aside from the touge video which I didn't include earlier since it doesn't really fit with my first point there isn't a single video on TH-cam which makes me feel the same way. I think a Kamui Kobayashi video could do the same thing. You could start off with his FORMULA Renault, FORMULA 3, GP2 days to his FORMULA One and WEC days. You could also mention the other classes he's raced in like NASCAR and his best achievements like the FORMULA One podium, Le Mans wins and probably his greatest achievement, The Le Mans lap record. And one last thing. Also I just wanna make it clear, I don't dislike any of your videos. My least favourite video on your channel is still extremely well produced and my second least favourite is one of the best videos on TH-cam I have seen. Also one last thing. My mind might just be making this up but I'm pretty sure you used to have videos on this channel before Under Suzuki which were more vlog like to do with cars. I didn't watch them when they were up (If they were up and my brain isn't completely making this up) I think they were to do with the Orange S14 but I don't know if I'm just making that up from seeing it in the Under Suzuki video. If they are real and my brain isn't just making it up I'd like to watch them. If possible could you reupload them either on this channel or another one so that the algorithm doesn't tear you apart for posting videos that weren't to do with the main theme of the channel. Edit: I found them in the playlists
My granny told me about how she used to go out on the ring regularly when she lived there in the mid 80s- early 90s. She actually had sold her 69 mustang when she moved back and went and bought a white 82 GT when she got there and that’s what she took out on the ring! 😂 Miss my granny! She was the best!
I remember seeing so many competitors taking laps it's a long and difficult stretch of track I've also played this track multiple times on gran tourismo
I hope someday you would cover SPA Francorchamps in the same fashion, this video was incredibly fun to watch and quite informative, absolutely well done ✅ Amazing job my friend
looking at comments am i seriously only one impressed record was held by an editor of a magazine at one point? if footage is legit one who wasn't exactly in the prime of his life either. insane reflexes
Your content is awesome, I've seen most of your content, and it's very diverse, the real question if you had to make a racing circuit, what would it be?
🇧🇪R. I. P. ❤SABINE 😢🇧🇪.. SHE WAS FULL OF LIFE.🎉 QUEEN OF THE TRACK.🇧🇪. I only knew of her 4m top gear. When Clarkson told her his time around the track real proud of himself, she laughed said I'd do that in a Van. Best Comeback Ever.. So She Got A Van Gave It Every Move She Had.. She Even Got Scared But Missed It By 9 Sec.. She Was Crazy.! 💯😢❤️🇧🇪. Sadly Missed.. 🇮🇪Brian..
The 2017 Dodge Viper ACR extreme was one of these most impressive at 7:01.3. The value this represented was astounding. And in true Viper fashion, the 3rd attempt resulted in a wreck. Unfortunately, an ACR now sells for more than a new Ferrari.

Thanks for including Sabine, may she rest in peace!
RIP Queen of the Ring
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!!!!
when i was stationed in germany, Sabine was still doing Ring Taxi drives. i went to the track constantly on my days off, and on one particular day, i remember seeing a pretty blond lady in a helmet driving the ring taxi simply RIP past me just before Flugplatz jump. that memory sticks with me, and i feel honored to have been with her on the track!
I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't even know this! My god she was amazing. We were lucky to have her.
What!?! When did this happen??
@@Selrahcthewise In 2021, she died due to cancer
Can we just appreciate how he did his sponsors last instead of killing us in the beginning
most sponsors require the sponsored portion to be at the beginning of the video in their contracts.
and an apology in advance at the end of the video? lol
Also kept it entertaining with the clips!
@@johnny_cathought i was the only one that noticed lmao. i think he definitely intended that part for the start
@@Chris-bz9pg According to some youtubers sponsors seem to pay best if you place it somewhere in between at like 3-4 minutes in depending on the length and stuff, wich is an absolute dick move, at start and end of videos it is pretty easy to just skip it since you didnt engage with the content anyway and probably have your hands on the control elements anyway.

I love every time you upload a video, all of us watching know we're packed in for half an hour filled with top notch editing and story telling!

Thanks, mum.
Passion is a beautiful thing
,We have in common

That's cool man lol. So because of those track and popularity with car guys coming from all over to the city, is there an increased amount of car shops, mechanic shops or just car related shops??
I figure the auto business industry could be profitable there.
@@Boosted00 yeah it's flooded with these :)
Someday I plan on making the trip to Germany solely to drive this track. The hard part is figuring out how to get my racecar over there.

Always amazing when Hunter posts, these are some seriously great videos. Truly an underrated creator
tons of excellent information. im a ring aficionado and i still didnt know a LOT of what he presented here
I'm amazed by what people are amazed by.
While officially prohibited in public sessions, the chase for laptime records per car model lives on by grassroots drivers in a bit of an underground scene, keyword 'BTG'
As a Nürburgring local that has been lapping hundreds of laps per year for almost a decade, I TOTALLY don't know anything about it! 🙂
keep on the tradition of smashing lap times!!
I'm excited to see what your RX-7 manages when it gets going :)
The first rule of BTG is, you dont talk about BTG, lol
Very well made documentary! I highly recommend making a pilgrimage to the Nürburgring and doing a few laps there personally, as it's an experience you will never forget.
seconded! i have over 100 laps in the short time i was stationed in germany, and it remains the most exciting thing i have ever done, 25 years later!
done twenty laps with a Cayman GT4, no regrets can't recommend it enough
I wish airshipment costs for my car didn’t cost as much as it does lol
My Virtual Laps only,, truly fascinating place and history,, I have only one friend who's gone and experienced it,, from I will someday,, cheers
No, I did forget it. Actually.
I haven't been so pleasantly surprised from a video by a content creator in a while, thank you Hunter, truly.
I think you mean to say "pleasantly surprised"
@@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13 yup
14:39 Being 4 seconds behind Walter Röhrl is a massive achievement I don’t think many people will appreciate

Solid pronounciation. My respect for getting the „Schleife“ right.
I live in Germany and this year summer was my first time Visiting The Ring

I saw it live at the Fuchsröhre doing 330 and 3 other places. As soon as I knew it was coming, it was already gone again. Absolutely mind blowing. Even in the slow chicane after the Fuchsröhre, it was scary to watch
i was there in fall and i was very happy with my around 16 Minutes in my 2003 Astra, i mean i knew it a bit from sim but being there with your own car is a whole other level
I’ll never get tired of hearing Head First mixed with great car footage, thanks for the great work !
These videos are always so well made, you definitely deserve more attention, you should do a video on Ayrton Senna and the 80s and early 90s F1 scene in general
Another absolute BANGER! Thank you Hunter's Moon for the preemium content!
Criminally underrated channel
Man, just hearing Sabine's name makes me tear up. RIP to the Queen!
Very interesting and great footage! Thank you for the historical approach as well as the automotive history related to the Ring. Well done!
The onboard view from the 919 EVO is the scariest Ring lap I've ever watched.
always a good day when hunter uploads
Could you do a video on Kamui Kobayashi. If you don't already know him he's a Japanese Driver who's raced in FORMULA Renault, FORMULA 3, GP2, FORMULA 1, Super FORMULA, FORMULA E, NASCAR, Super GT, LMGTE and WEC. He's won WEC twice. He also has the Le Mans lap record (3:27.749) and got a podium in FORMULA 1 with Sauber in 2012 at the Japanese Grand Prix.
I love your videos but one thing I think is missing from your recent ones is someone to root for. With Tskuba it was Under Suzuki, With Midnight club it was Yoshida even though he kinda turned out to be a bad guy at the end. With the Phantom of Belgrade it was Vasa Opel. With the Ferrari police car it was Spatafora and with the 10,000,000 Yen Toyota Corolla (My personal favourite video on the channel) there was Akira Iida. The Pikes Peak one is also good cause it focuses on a driver but I haven't watched it enough times yet to remember who. God's Rambo also fits into this but that's less to do with racing which made it less memorable for me but it was still a great video.
However with this video I feel it doesn't have that same effect. Don't get me wrong this is an amazing video and I'm comparing it to your other videos but stand alone it's one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam. But the reason I don't like it as much as other ones is cause it's less to do with one driver but instead plenty of stories all to do with one track and well, It's kinda hard to relate with a race track.
Out of all of your videos in my opinion the ones that stand out most are Under Suzuki and Akira Iida. With both of those videos we get to see the driver's grow. With Under Suzuki you went over how he continued to build his car to be faster and faster and how he improved as a driver to the point where he's getting closer and closer to the record despite not being crazily funded like the other teams and with Akira Iida in the first half of the video it goes over his growth as a driver. It shows him from his first race then tells us what he did after and shares interesting stories about him like when he raced in Le Mans or tested the Honda F1 prototype and then in the second part it shows him building the car which brings me to another reason I love these two videos (I just noticed it now, That's why it wasn't mentioned sooner)
Both of those videos make me want to build a car and drive. I can't get my driver's license yet so I resort to driving in games for hours trying to perfect tunes when I watch the Akira Iida video and perfect laps to get faster and faster lap times when I watch the Under Suzuki video. Aside from the touge video which I didn't include earlier since it doesn't really fit with my first point there isn't a single video on TH-cam which makes me feel the same way.
I think a Kamui Kobayashi video could do the same thing. You could start off with his FORMULA Renault, FORMULA 3, GP2 days to his FORMULA One and WEC days. You could also mention the other classes he's raced in like NASCAR and his best achievements like the FORMULA One podium, Le Mans wins and probably his greatest achievement, The Le Mans lap record. And one last thing.
Also I just wanna make it clear, I don't dislike any of your videos. My least favourite video on your channel is still extremely well produced and my second least favourite is one of the best videos on TH-cam I have seen.
Also one last thing. My mind might just be making this up but I'm pretty sure you used to have videos on this channel before Under Suzuki which were more vlog like to do with cars. I didn't watch them when they were up (If they were up and my brain isn't completely making this up) I think they were to do with the Orange S14 but I don't know if I'm just making that up from seeing it in the Under Suzuki video. If they are real and my brain isn't just making it up I'd like to watch them. If possible could you reupload them either on this channel or another one so that the algorithm doesn't tear you apart for posting videos that weren't to do with the main theme of the channel.
Edit: I found them in the playlists
The Stefan Bellof S is the corner he crashed at during the race (just after pflanzgarten 2) after setting the 6.11 qualifying time
leaving the sponsor for the end...legendary
Stoked to see another vid!
My granny told me about how she used to go out on the ring regularly when she lived there in the mid 80s- early 90s. She actually had sold her 69 mustang when she moved back and went and bought a white 82 GT when she got there and that’s what she took out on the ring! 😂
Miss my granny! She was the best!
I remember seeing so many competitors taking laps it's a long and difficult stretch of track I've also played this track multiple times on gran tourismo
Crazy how these old cars are nearly as fast as the record setters today.
I really enjoyed this video, thank you for uploading!
I hope someday you would cover SPA Francorchamps in the same fashion, this video was incredibly fun to watch and quite informative, absolutely well done ✅
Amazing job my friend
Amazing documentary buddy, love the included time graphics. Thank you.
Your vids are some of the most informative and watchable docs that I have seen on youtube. Great work!
Love this track in gt7
Rest in peace Sabine 🙏🏻🌹
Thus channel needs more recognition it's such great content
The transition to the sponsor ad made me chuckle. Good job!
A new Hunter's Moon video! Yesssss!
Great video, thanks for your hard work
blud said “i apologize in advance” at the end
anyways, great vid man, keep up the good work
Awesome video, thank you for creating it. Never knew this track had such a history
looking at comments am i seriously only one impressed record was held by an editor of a magazine at one point? if footage is legit one who wasn't exactly in the prime of his life either. insane reflexes
It's only like an hour or so away from where i used to live, which is crazy to think about
Your content is awesome, I've seen most of your content, and it's very diverse, the real question if you had to make a racing circuit, what would it be?
🇧🇪R. I. P. ❤SABINE 😢🇧🇪.. SHE WAS FULL OF LIFE.🎉 QUEEN OF THE TRACK.🇧🇪. I only knew of her 4m top gear. When Clarkson told her his time around the track real proud of himself, she laughed said I'd do that in a Van. Best Comeback Ever.. So She Got A Van Gave It Every Move She Had.. She Even Got Scared But Missed It By 9 Sec.. She Was Crazy.! 💯😢❤️🇧🇪. Sadly Missed.. 🇮🇪Brian..
Great effort of putting all this together.. 👏 👍
This is absolutely on my bucket list!!!!!
Running softer Track tires is a No-Brainer. R.IP. Sabine she always had a big Smile. What a Fun Job she had!
I really like these videos, thank you!
Awesome vid man. Especially enjoyed the Summoning Salt nods. Great work.
New upload = good day! Lovely video as always!
as someone great once said: babe wake up new hunters moon video just dropped
Love your videos man 💯, it reminds me of Summoning Salt jajaja. Keep up the great work and Keep Moving Forward 👍.
its just insane how much more intense this track is than any other. the fact theres not even close to an argument is crazy
Incredible research love you mate.
Loved it, and you mentioned it but would love a video on the mille miglia or targa florio as well!
Thank you for making these!
The 2017 Dodge Viper ACR extreme was one of these most impressive at 7:01.3. The value this represented was astounding. And in true Viper fashion, the 3rd attempt resulted in a wreck. Unfortunately, an ACR now sells for more than a new Ferrari.
I'm Brazilian with proud but every time Ayrton Senna name it's called in the motorsport world make me prouder...
Been loving your channel. Hope to see it grow.
Best automotive content on youtube.
Well presented and very interesting,thank you.
Great video! I definitely learned a lot.
still some of the best automotive content on the platform
How can anyone think of the ring without remembering what happened to the late Niki Lauda
Bellof’s record will forever be the greatest feat in motorsport history
Having driven Tsukuba and Laguna Seca the ring is next on my list!!
The track and the area is beautiful, we've road tripped a couple of times from Ireland to drive there 😅👌
