For many people asking: an instruction lap with me is 49€. 149€ for 4. More info can be found on apex-nuerburg.com Looking forward seeing you at the Ring!
I was hoping to come to the ring after my car was built (not too much performance, I'm poor and live in Croatia lol just some basic mods) but then I got into a head on collision with a driver that pulled out into the main road without looking, and the car got destroyed. My dream is to drive at least one lap on the ring, even better if it's a lap with you, in either a new car if I can get one or just a rental...
I'm going to ask you something else: have you ever counted how many laps you've done in your life? Cause your knowledge of the track is amazing (watch Mischa's blind co-driving people!!!)
@@Puddingtops , “Speed is good... wait... now, left left left and flat. Down the middle, right... tighter tighter, good now flat...” Yeah, I can see how that might go. lol
This shows the obvious difference that quality instruction provides a much quicker, enjoyable & importantly safer lap. Awesome build too! Great Vlog Misha!
You can also tell Misha's used to instructing in left-hand-drive cars as he was doing his gestures with his left hand, quite far out of view of the driver. :D But I guess the verbal instructions were clear enough as that second lap was epic!
Gas, to the outside, go! Sounds easy enough, but wow it was intense to follow the instructions. Thanks for sharing, awesome. Edit: To be clear, I was not the one driving the car. I actually felt it was intense just watching the video :-)
Great driving. I can only assume how hard it is not knowing the whole track in such a beast of a car. Also worth noting the time and money spend on it, so you do not want to bin it.
The difference between the two laps is night and day. The value of an instruction lap with Misha is pretty crystal clear. The thing is as much as we all lust after these high horsepower and top dollar supercars and hypercars, there is something refreshing and relateable about cars and builds of this nature. Every real petrolhead loves and respects builds like these.
Way back when I was fiddling with cars, I switched from a pocket rocket like this (a bit lighter, a bit less power, similar power/weight ratio) to a bigger car with more horses. That took away most of the fun: speeds went way up on the straights, in the corners the difference wasn't that big, and I just spent an enormous amount of cash on gasoline and parts.
I love how the driver immediately agreed to have an instruction lap and then went responsible but still pretty fast for such a "manual" car and followed all the instructions very well. I would have shit my pants.
Yeah, I remember that my first two laps with Misha felt kinda similar. His instructions were on point and the lessons learned extremely valuable. Without those, I may have overshot some corners and probably wouldn't have overtaken some of the cars in front of us. One or two instruction laps with Misha has to be one of the best bang for your buck driver mods you can get on the Ring IMO.
What a difference first lap and second lap. That guy hasn't learned even close in twenty laps what Misha showed him in one instructions lap. Misha next year me and mine friends are coming from Zagreb. Big up to Misha👍👏
That was awesome seeing you start to unlock his potential! He took to instruction very well! The confidence levels between those two laps was night and day. Must have been very intimidating on that first lap to be unfamiliar with the track and have you sat next to him. Really cool little car as well, reckon that'll be a rocket round the ring with a bit more practice.
Wow,, that was something special,,, im not going to lie that second lap was pretty emotional to watch, the difference you made to him was amazing, the thing I like about you is you just love to improve people,, its not your job,, just your heart
This is why I watch your content bud you could have just let him go after 1st lap (you had what you needed)but you took time to give him an instruction lap and actually help him 👍ps the laps with your instruction are my personal favourites
Wow! During the second lap I found myself on the edge of my seat, having a hard time keeping up with the instructions. Intense! If I ever gather enough courage to make it to the Ring, I'd love to do a couple of instructed laps. Definitely worth it.
*First lap:* Enjoyed the beautiful sound of the engine *Second lap:* Enjoyed watching Misha working his magic : ) Kudos to the driver btw, he is a fast learner and seems to be a genuinely nice lad o7
Misha that was Fantastic 🙂👍🏻 Huge Well done to the driver for taking and following all those instructions, especially in a Clutched, Stick Geared car, his brain must have been doing 100 thing's at once 🤪🙂 Do you know roughly the difference in times? Because it seemed a good few seconds faster than his first lap, and he'd already done over 20 laps in his visits there 🙂 I expect he'll save and re-watch this over and over for more pointers on bit's he can further improve his driving with 🙂 Thanks again for an awesome video 🙂 Stay Safe out there, All the Best, Mark 👍🏻
@@sighheinrich I was just starting to work out those time's myself 🙂 so thanks for that bud 👍🏻 He certainly did a brilliant second lap, and I think will further improve from now on 😊🙂👍🏻
@@peterjansen5571 I'm in the UK Stick is all I've ever driven 😉 But if you watch the video closely he misses a couple of shifts, and even hits the rev limiter when he should have changed up, as he's concentrating so hard on the instructions 😊🙂👍🏻 But I don't blame him, it's a hell of a lot to take on board at once 🙂👍🏻
I was afraid that it would be too fast to react to any instructions, but these were so clear and well put that even I felt I could do the driving with these instructions. Well done.
Wow, such a good video. The second lap with the instructions was so much better. Would love to see what that fiesta could do in the hands of a experienced ring driver.
Wow Misha is really a pro instructor, can tell a huge difference between 1st lap and instructed lap. neat content as always bro. Also the driver did well following the instructions.
Great content Misha! Some people would argue this was quid pro quo, content for free instructional lap; but for me it just shows whatta great man and human being you are Misha; for me second lap was emotional AF (Ex Fiesta 1.3 owner here). We will meet once m8, mark my words
Misha you are a brave man. You get in with every rider, but you don't always know how well they drive and know the track. These are the best videos for me, showing someone how it is done.
Man that second lap 😅 I was falling asleep on the first lap(just got off of work, I'm usually passing out watching TH-cam) then suddenly I heard you yelling and I was awake glued to my screen 🤣 Wonderful instructor, great lap, fantastic little Siesta Fiesta 😂
Amazing. It was like Misha driving through him. Watching was very exciting. He knew to drive but lacked local knowledge. Misha provided it. Worth every € !
My favourite content car walk around then a lap......fair play Mischa sharing the knowledge respect to you for being probably one of the best passengers ever !
Fiesta XR2 brings back memories from 30 odd yrs ago, i had 2 of them 👍 growing up on the welsh roads is like N-ring every day Ps Misha you are a legend for offing the lad an instruction lap 👍
Misha, I always enjoy your videos but this one was something special: a down-to-earth car, a hands-on owner and to hear your instructions was sooo good.
Can’t believe how much I enjoyed the running commentary around the track, little things we don’t normally notice stood out. As usual I loved it - also nice to see “analogue” cars now and again! 👍
This is epic. Huge respect to both the driver/ car builder and to Misha for creating this comparison video. The sense of focus in both laps is palpable but following the instruction and driving on the second lap has left me with a massive smile. I'm more than a little envious. Some of the best you tube car content ever on this channel.
Way to be a good guy about it. The “pro teachers” in what I do can be absolute jerks about it. Guys like you can keep it fun for people getting into a sport
This whole thing was class. Misha being a ring God and the lovely built fiesta. Nice to see a built car for once instead of some rich kid in a super car. Edit...misha would be an awesome rally co driver
Ik heb afgelopen juli ook veel plezier gehad met mijn Fiesta MK2 1.1L op de Nordschleife. Dat dankzij de instructie rondes van Misha eind september 2017 en van Laurin tijdens "Lap with APEX', Tim op het circuit van Zolder en Alex in 2018. Deze video laat zien hoe belangrijk instructie rondes zijn om de Nordschleife te leren ontdekken. I also had a lot of fun with my Fiesta MK2 1.1L on the Nordschleife last July. Thanks to the instruction rounds of Misha at the end of September 2017 and of Laurin during "Lap with APEX", Tim on the circuit of Zolder and Alex in 2018. This video shows how important instruction rounds are in learning to discover the Nordschleife.
Dam Mish, you know your content is good when your video is up for less than and hour with 1400 views. Keep it up bro! Been a sub for a few years and its crazy how much your channel has grown.
Took a while for the lad to think quick enough to process your instructions but you see as he got comfortable he began to trust you, what a great experience
Not just the driver, but also the comments here are getting better. Win-win. Misha, we love the odd nuggets, thank you for vlogging these. It makes my pancake brunch extra special. 👍🏻
I learned a lot from racing on my computer. Racing Nurburgring on Project Cars 2 has improved my driving on the road. Following the on screen track assist and look at where the tire marks are gives helpful clues where you need to be. Thank you for helping people drive better. I wish I could afford to go to a track and race. I do believe I could be very competitive except for the fact that I have a neck injury that would limit my time on the track.

He took instruction very well.
Seemed a nice intelligent lad 👍
One could begin to read Misha’s hand signs. He is an excellent communicator.
Yes he responded well to instruction ....... just like I do from the wife 😀
@@Puddingtops , “Speed is good... wait... now, left left left and flat. Down the middle, right... tighter tighter, good now flat...”
Yeah, I can see how that might go.
lol
@@Chicomacheeno I wish to see you doing a lap whit him
In a world full of uninteresting digital cars you keep finding these most amazing analogue cars Misha, keep it up
Well said
And it even sounds nice for 1.6.
@@chamskyYT he said the head was from a Puma engine. and the bottom from a fiesta ST. I presume its the MK6 ST (2.0 NA) and not the Ecoboost ST?
@@neovenom9833 he said the bottom end was from the 1.6 fiesta ST
Once he said he would definitely want an Tesla M3. The definition of digital :-)
This shows the obvious difference that quality instruction provides a much quicker, enjoyable & importantly safer lap. Awesome build too!
Great Vlog Misha!
Yes, you can clearly see how much smoother they did the lap and often smooth precise inputs = fast
He seems to relax and trust misha more as the lap goes on. Shows he’s damn good at what he does.
You can also tell Misha's used to instructing in left-hand-drive cars as he was doing his gestures with his left hand, quite far out of view of the driver. :D But I guess the verbal instructions were clear enough as that second lap was epic!
Thanks for this message, I was wanted to change this video after a two minutes of watching
Instruction lap was awesome. We all need a pocket Misha with us on the ring.
Absolutely wicked lap I agree with you misha instructs really well I enjoyed watching this video
Gas, to the outside, go! Sounds easy enough, but wow it was intense to follow the instructions. Thanks for sharing, awesome.

You absolutely crushed it man
keep going, your in good hands.
The concentration needed was awsome
@@bogmanstar889 The art is to use all of the track, but none of the grass, gravel and certainly not investigate the barriers...
2:23 Got to love that caterham moment! It was so spot on that had to give it a though was it scripted
Couldn't have script it on such a perfect timing haha
I was like - Oh speaking of the devil! Lol

It also huge difference between the laps as Misha didn't say a word in the first one, and basically was speaking the whole second one. :-)
Way back when I was fiddling with cars, I switched from a pocket rocket like this (a bit lighter, a bit less power, similar power/weight ratio) to a bigger car with more horses. That took away most of the fun: speeds went way up on the straights, in the corners the difference wasn't that big, and I just spent an enormous amount of cash on gasoline and parts.
You´re such a nice person Misha, you made his day, one lap with you equals 50 on his own... at least. So nice. Proper petrolhead community is awesome.
I love how the driver immediately agreed to have an instruction lap and then went responsible but still pretty fast for such a "manual" car and followed all the instructions very well. I would have shit my pants.
Just showed that he knows the car and his ability but not the track.

I love cars with this. 👌
so much better than a modern original. it's love in the details perfect 👌
Have a nice Weekend ✌
I was just surfing TH-cam and a Misha video popped up, hell yes!
Oh we have LSD! Probably best to wait until after the lap MIsha
Nah, it takes a good 30-40 minutes to kick in... Get 3-4 laps in no sweat :D
wow he was good at hearing the instructions and also doing them!
Cool car and cool dude. Love old Fiestas :D
Great combo of driver and instructor in a very capable car. That was fun to watch !
Huge respect to the guy, focusing on shifting and following instructions while being almost new at the track... nice
The best lap I’ve ever had was under misha’s instruction! This shows how important instruction is. I hope to do more when we can return 👌👌
Very clean engineering and design on that car.
The instruction lap was so good to listen to. Track tool's are one thing, But knowing the track is everything!
A friend of mine had his father's fiesta Mk1 957cc and we had so much fun with it. Despite the small engine it was quite swift. So many good memories
Misha that was Fantastic 🙂👍🏻
Huge Well done to the driver for taking and following all those instructions, especially in a Clutched, Stick Geared car, his brain must have been doing 100 thing's at once 🤪🙂

First lap is around 10 minutes and second is around 9:40 , just judging by the video lenght.. But second lap felt a lot faster!
it looked like atleast 30secs faster :)

Wow, such a good video. The second lap with the instructions was so much better. Would love to see what that fiesta could do in the hands of a experienced ring driver.
Whoa - never heard or seen such a detailed instruction. Superb.
Honestly just a great video as per usual! Sat with him and respected his first lap without interfering. Always loved your instructional videos
Your instruction was AWESOME! It was cool to see the driver increase confidence as you progress thru the track.
Nice from you to offer another lap with your instructions! It makes a big difference!
Nice vlog as always! 👌
Wow Misha is really a pro instructor, can tell a huge difference between 1st lap and instructed lap. neat content as always bro. Also the driver did well following the instructions.
Useful commentary Misha, thanks again. Excellent to see an Mk2 Fiesta on the ring. I had four of these when I was 'younger'!! 😂

The instruction lap made a huge difference! His car was very settled when he stopped thinking too much and listen to your sound instructions! Awesome!
What a way to makes someone's day. The difference under instruction was huge. Bravo to you both.
Great to see the difference one lap of instruction did for that driver. Nice job Misha. I’m sure he is very grateful. Cool car BTW.
Misha: ”What tyres are they....15?”

Quality instruction to a guy who listens well 👍
The amount of skill misha has is amazing
Good teacher, good pupil, good run. Car is not too shabby either.
wow, awesome difference, driver seemed very confident on that 2nd lap. Cool car!
Your a great man Misha for helping calm his nerves, and for the instructions......makes for better drivers.
