At the start I thought this is gonna be a scary lap. But after the off he settled in quite nicely. Good lap considering the conditions in such a tricky lightweight car. ✌
After the off he knew the limit of the tyres and asjusted his lines and braking points for the rain. Cant wait to see what it can do on a warm dry summer day
A110 Alpine prepared by MP Rezeau, whose work focuses on lightening, aerodynamics and chassis / braking preparation. With a 304 hp "only" engine, this 1034 kg model produced a BTG time of 7'13 on a video from argus, and went down to 7'04 in theoretical.
This is an m2 killer gr yaris killer. Believe it or not this car is so amazing. Made for cornering. The weight distribution! The chassis! The mid mounted engine. Very very underrated car
@@Porkycheun yes, I’m told everyday, and I’ve driven Renault cars for my work for a few years now, and they are very well known for their « christmas tree » lights display, when at some point a lot of lights come ON, you turn it Off and on again and they’re gone. My boss changed the Renault this year and we now have Peugeot cars, so far it’s Ok.
Very quick for the conditions! For the "dry line in the wet" guys, you can't tell from video how soaked the tarmac already is, neither can you tell how warm the tires are. In the later part of the lap (Pflanzgarten) he adjusted to more of a wet line as the rain increased.
fun fact ! Alpine uses the same transmission found in ford fiesta powershift which infamously known for their lawsuit which is 6dct250, while the alpine is 7dct300
Plot twist: the "nasty surprise" was the realisation the HANS device was not properly secured 🙃 But all is well that ends well and everything after that little track excursion was pretty chill 😁
WOW! never thought I would see this car featured! I will be moving for studies to Germany soon thanks to your inspiration Misha! Also first time being early haha
He gave u some glances while you were looking your phone 4:57-5:00.. Then he seemed as he tried to make you look at the track instead of your phone at 5:12 or is it a typical way of take this turn? I wonder 😅
Video should be titled; "This is what happends when u take the dry line in wet conditions" After the first few corners.. when misha tightened his beltstraps.... I felt that..
Don’t know if you’ll see this but I think something like a insta360 would give a really cool perspective. Though I don’t know the rings rules, so they might not allow it.
To Misha: what was your impression of the car as a passenger? Last september I drove the standard version of this car with 252hp at Circuit Zandvoort during a race experience.I was impressed, because the car is nimble, very light and very easy to drive. I reached almost the same top speed as with the 325hp Porsche 911 Although overtaking isn't allowed during an experience I drove very smooth between the Hugenholtz and the Scheivlak corners.
Hi Misha, i don´t wanna be a smartass, but please take care that the seatbelt is OVER the HANS, not under, it is very dangerous when only one side of the HANS is fixed. And the Driver´s Helmet chin strap is open, so the Helmet can go off in case of an accident. Safety first🙂
I totally understand the driver pushing at this conditions being on Vid. Though I don't. That's been too much. You were at several times lucky not to impact somewhere.
I am guessing this comes stock with 250 hp..the onboard computer showed 250hp max at any time (calculated figure ofc, so any tuning wont be shown)..challenging conditions but car shows a lot of potential for the dry
This car is like a cheaper version of a Jaguar F-type, but it still looks like tons of fun to drive. I thought the GT4 came with a 6-speed sequential gearbox. 9:30 shows cruising in 7th gear 🤔
Nice driving, really impressive but why do people take on such added risk driving their beautiful cars in the rain at the Ring? He nearly lost it a few times. It’s not like they are competing in some prestigious race or anything? Misha kept fidgeting with his shoulder harness, pulling them tighter. That should tell you something right there. Anyway, glad he didn’t stuff the little Alpine into the barrier like so many other folks at the Ring.
Hey Misha! Thank you for your video! What tires are you using at the beginning of april (season opening) i expect temperatures about 0-13 degrees maybe… I‘m on the michelin cup 2 right now and i‘m a bit afraid if it‘s too cold.. btw we are sleeping in apex :p see you then🤘🏼😊
In my humble opinion he was putting you in danger by trying to prove something, im glad he mellowed down further in the lap. Reminds me of something you alway's point out to your viewers: you cant impress someone at the ring but you can make everybody laugh. For the full lap he was driving the dry line.
@@RicardoPestana well this time you can since the refresh rate is way slower than the video framerate. Speed refresh rate is 1Hz, the thing is, it could be faster, but when you are driving a fast pace you need to be able to read it at a glance, faster refresh rate at some point forces you to watch longer at the speedometer, and not outside, since there is no speed bar graph i believe they had to compromise to keep readability to the best possible.
As well as the Megane 4 RS and the Clio 4 RS, the gearbox reaction time between the upshift press and the gearbox actually upshifting is not that great tbh :/
@@mgcharoudin i really like your content and i hope i can visite nurburgring and rent a car at apex when i begin working (still in uni now). i would love to drive the m4 coupe looks like really fun car.
I like your videos but I thought this one was a lack of consideration for the driver. you just answered "ya""ya" "ya".... at least you talked a little about what you thought etc
for sure a very fast driver👨🚀 and car🚘 especially in dry conditions. but the lack of knowledge concerning the rain line could have end very bad. greenkeeping was the best that could have happenened that early. otherwise Flugplatz or Schwedenkreuz would have been the end of the lap💥
I dont get why the driver keeps hacking at the wheel, its surely gonna be faster if he drives smoother, he is like jabbing at the wheel unsettling the car. He needs to learn to calm down and drive smoother, he will improve his times.
Feeling for the grip and adjust speed to suit, only real way to attack a first lap in dry to damp conditions when track surface doesn't visually tell you what's going on
Got me to tears lol.......Misha....this guy is suited up like he is the next Max Verstappen, yet he doesn't understand the elementary wet track guidelines.......
Fun fact: the stock Alpine a110S facelift 300hp stock has a nurburgring time .3 second quicker than the 450hp M2 CS
Adding lightness and having a good handling makes the difference, my friend!😉
@@leomux2004 yes! And the M2 CS surely has a good handling but the handling on the Alpine is on a different level!
At the start I thought this is gonna be a scary lap. But after the off he settled in quite nicely. Good lap considering the conditions in such a tricky lightweight car. ✌
The rain is a game changer, that's for sure. It makes for a interesting lap. It definitely tests your skills. Thanks for bringing this to us.
There was hardly any rain.

What a wonderful little car. You should definitely give it another go.
Magnificent how well the Alpine A110 works on rain. Would like to see an further Lap whit good weather. 😀👍🏻
Loved that twangy engine tone and those burbles from the exhaust, fantastic combo!!!

@@Porkycheun it's all jokes, don't be upset haha
you can see in Misha's eyes an urge to tell about the "wet line"... but he holds it, because driver's etiquette
Wenn die Renn Regenreifen hatten, gibt es keine Regen-Line. Die ist nicht schneller mit richtigen Reifen
My guess is that Misha knows, and trusts the driver.
Driving a mid engine car in the rain is like balancing a dollop of butter in a hot frying pan, well done!
Very quick for the conditions! For the "dry line in the wet" guys, you can't tell from video how soaked the tarmac already is, neither can you tell how warm the tires are.

Amazing car. Misha, I dont know how you stayed so calm during that drive. I would have panicked after driving across the grass. "Stay on the wet line"
You survived well my friend!;-)
2:28 is the sketchy moment palos mentioned
Appreciate it!
fucking legend
These little things are supposed to be awesome, haven't had the pleasure yet myself, but have a shot everytime Misha adjusts his belts, lol Rj in Oz
fun fact !
Alpine uses the same transmission found in ford fiesta powershift which infamously known for their lawsuit which is 6dct250, while the alpine is 7dct300

Man, that was sketchy. But very fast on the dry(ish) parts. Btw., still thumbs pressed for that SSD recovery - hope it's going good!
You can almost feel how light and nimble the car is
Don’t know if you’ll see this but I think something like a insta360 would give a really cool perspective. Though I don’t know the rings rules, so they might not allow it.
I love Alpine, something different than Porsche. Could be cheaper tho😉
i really like the raw intake sound. it reminds me alot of the 73 A110 in rally
GT4 is up to 360hp, that would really change a lot for such lightweight car.
All the dashboard's light are on, it's a true Renault for sure :D
Hey Misha, can you do a best-of-playlist where you show your favorite cars and laps as a collection?
You live for another lap. Thanks for sharing these videos, great stumbles & subscribed 😊 ☕

Power meter says this one only use 251hp maximum ..
@@tonypetersson923 its 250hp Pure model but tuned to "OEM" 300hp as its only software thing.
Beautiful sounding engine! Enjoyed that lap.
That thing looks pretty wild to drive 😂👌
Wish we could even get an alpine in America..
You will, hang in there.
4 models
Yup and the yaris gr
In 2028 alpine will come to the US market with EV a110 + 3 EV SUV

thanks man your video are simply a therapy
almost 7 min in a 300hp car is crazy. Cars need to be lighter.
I totally understand the driver pushing at this conditions being on Vid. Though I don't. That's been too much. You were at several times lucky not to impact somewhere.
Good video

there is a 280 and a 300 hp version
My lovely car..i used all days my stock a110 /2019
Dry line on wet?
What do you think Misha?
Everytime he uses the dry line it has skate on heels.....
My go to car in Assetto Corsa, great footage!
This car is like a cheaper version of a Jaguar F-type, but it still looks like tons of fun to drive.
I thought the GT4 came with a 6-speed sequential gearbox.
9:30 shows cruising in 7th gear 🤔
F type? ;)
In what way does this compare to a F-type which weighs half a ton more
Uh.. What? They're totally different cars
The Alpine shits on the f type as a sports car is mid engine and half a tone less weight the f type is more of a luxury gt than a sports car
I reallly hope there will be a dry lap too :)

Track driving in the rain, NOPE!!
Those things are death machines.
Misha, why didn't the driver use the rain line?
I must admit that I think the refreshrate of the speedometer is really low. Is there any way to increase that?
dont judge that using video footage

This is the way to get grey hair prematurely. It is good you survived.
Epic !
Why wasn’t he making the wet line?
Cool man! 👍😎👍
Impressive how it turns the car in curves like this: 04:52
He didn't use Misha's wet line.
What jacket is it you are wearing in the intro?
Bilstein
@@mgcharoudin Thanks, I might get one
Why is the hp display always maxing out at only 251?

At a point I really thought you were like passing out man. But I think you were just playing with your phone
Aber einen schönen Helm hat er!

Really smooth ride, nothing much to care about xD
We know all the bulbs still work at least. 😂
As well as the Megane 4 RS and the Clio 4 RS, the gearbox reaction time between the upshift press and the gearbox actually upshifting is not that great tbh :/
Shall I mention it? 😝

He was trying to impress you. But bite grass instead. And then was start driving right.

That car needs a drylap or more downforce.
What where you doing at 4:50 and so one? Looking down? Telephone? It did distract the driver abit

Have you ever driven an Alpine like this & in the rain ?
He knows what he’s doing he’s a professional
Also it can be a good against understeering
It's a way to drive over the car's limits. If you do it wrong it can bite back. So it's for very experienced drivers. Also it's very tiring.
Feeling for the grip and adjust speed to suit, only real way to attack a first lap in dry to damp conditions when track surface doesn't visually tell you what's going on
I suspect it's on a pretty hardcore track tyre and they've got very little temp. Probably like driving on ice initially
