Last year I started to realise I‘m not 25 anymore but almost 50. Not being a regular (endless laps I mean) at the Ring means, I need to concentrate even more on all around me and honestly, 3 laps in a row is enough. I need a break then. Especially, considering I have the responsibility for my kids who love the Ring and always want to come with me. Yes, learning to understand your body‘s signs are very important.
It is good that you recognized the toll such a busy schedule's been taking on you and are taking steps to improve for the next season! Gotta make mistakes to improve, and I'm glad it wasnt a costly one :)
Next time when driving new BMW M cars on track, press and hold the intelligent safety button to turn off. This will avoid the annoying warning sounds. Heard it also impacts horse power a little.
It's honestly great that you recognize that and you're never afraid to let us know! Props to that! If I may suggest something, and I know the majority of the viewers are interested in fast laps or different cars, you should definitely bring back more car spotting, you can always bring good content and chill in the parking lot and interact more with car owners if for example you feel tired that day! If not, keep bringing the great content as always! 👏
Thanks for this lap, I was reviewing it three times, it looks like it's not only about the weight of the car or tyres, but also the size of the steering wheel in combination with manual transmission and huge central tunnel... This combo asks you to do so many additional movements because of the right elbow and the most interesting thing that people with shifters on the steering will never understand this uncomfy combo.
I am just 2.50 into the video but: What the hell is wrong with that engine noise…? Every BMW owner should pull the ”Fake engine cabin noise”-fuse immediately. It sounds like an Impreza or a 718 for that matter. Sad.
@@RiasGremoryS54 I am sure it does - it’s a straight six, for Pete’s sake! Why would do they destroy that inherently nice sound with a completely different character?
@@timessix8434 Gotta admit, not sure if this model would be equipped with a petrol particulate filter but they absolutely kill any chance of a decent sounding car. You just get a "whoosh" noise coming from the exhaust.
NICE! Glad you realized u were getting tired. Personally I find very very important to stay conscious about your self mind state. So in case a break is needed, u are able to get it in the right moment, and not getting hurted by this or that. ☺😚
I think I have seen that car at Zolder last season (skylimit trackday) Phenomenal performance/setup, traction in and coming out of the corners amazed me most.
I remember a day of driving 8 hours to the Ring only to then get my brains scrambled being passenger of some crazy Russian (I asked for it :)), and subsequently almost declining the opportunity to do my own first lap (in full wet), because of exactly that - being exhausted and overwhelmed. And you better have your wits about you during a track session. But yeah, opportunities are hard to decline.. and if you always err on the side of caution, you might end up not having done anything in your life at all :) Glad to hear you're taking care of yourself Misha 👍 You're doing a good thing here, not only for yourself, but for motorsport in general.. I'd really prefer to have you around for a very, very long time :)
Really appreciate the videos as always. Honestly, I don't think it's worth it taking too much risks going so fast in order to make "impressive" videos. Maybe we could concentrate on the people more, carry out more conversation in the car and go 6 or 7/10 instead of going 8 or 9 and risking accidents and the like. Keep in mind it's not a criticism. I obviously don't have your full point of view on this and my driving skills are nowhere to be compared to yours. Just a thought. I don't want things to end bad and I'd be happy with just a video a week. Congratulations for the hard work, as always. Looking forward to having you in the M3 again.
I didnt understand what was bad about the lap to be honest, it seemed like any other. You were just a bit more stressed in some tight corners i think, but still verry smooth.
This is something i teach my students : a good driver is also able to listen to his/her body, and is able to look for signs that tell you that you are tired, exhausted etc… sometimes you accumulate tiredness over a long period and at some point you keep going on the nerves… that’s when you end up crashing, (not your car, but your body says stop) and you fell asleep, you burn out… A good driver is able to say, not today, today I’ll get some sleep, some recovery time for myself, I won’t drive. Too bad if this is the day someone offers you to drive a ferrari F40, you should be able to say no… just be a passenger maybe. Listening to your body is also a skill to develop. There is no shame about that. It’s not a matter of being in shape or not, it’s a matter of respecting ourselves and get some rest at some point. Alma Sana In Corpore Sano, a sane mind in a sane body…
I had no idea Fabio lanzoni was a fan of yours?! Haha Bro's Luscious Mane would make the mightiest stallion jealous of that hair 🤣. Nice lap though, that beamer sounds healthy 👍
Alas poor Misha, you have run into the most classic of driver excuses…unfortunately, the ‘Bedroom Boogaloo’ does not build muscle or fitness nearly as much as all of us fellows wish it did 🥺. Perhaps ‘our FAVORITE exercise’ needs to be combined for maximum fitness effect (I accept no responsibility for injuries or other such badness that may result from over-exuberant such activities 😉). I know, maybe you should ask Boris! He seems like the kind of gent that might know more about such things… Well, cheers and good luck! 🖖😎👍
The cabin noise sounds entirely fake bit of a shame, kind of reminds me of a funny feature in the mk4 clio RS where you can choose what car noise comes out of the speakers (from motorbikes, clio v6 and even a spaceship lol)
Newly subscribed and loving the content. Visiting the NÜRBURGRING is on my list of things to do in life, hopefully soon I'll get to see you track side, thanks.
You are great Misha, I enjoy so much your videos. As I am doing a lot of Green Hell on a sim racing I try to learn, analize and compare from your videos. Hope someday I will be able to visit that place and even make few laps. I also hope I will be able at least to meet you on the parking and exchange few words. If I can ask.. what are your shoes on this video?
@@stefanrusu9487 I watched the full video he only touched the clutch pedal to change gear and he was left foot braking the whole lap which is what most race drivers do to keep the car more balanced in cornering and also can have throttle on gas at same time as braking = faster lap
When crawling through traffic at one mile an hour, you need to dip the clutch to stop it stalling. It seems like you are saying "don't dip the clutch" in circumstances that require the clutch to be dipped. If he did as you asked, the car would either stall or run in to the car infront, unless you dip the clutch to modulate speed. I have never overheated a car or a clutch due to using the clutch in slow moving traffic. This makes no sense.
So I only drive the nordschleife in assetto corsa. As in that's the only track I drive. If I take a break and come back, I have to get back into things but quickly do I become focussed. After a while however, doing it every night for weeks on end, I think myself loosing focus. It becomes too much an afterthought whereas that should never be the case on track. For me, I hit a wall, no big deal but irl, you have the gforces and consequences. So yeah, I understand the disclaimer. You become dismissive, bad things happen
Nice! -- QUESTION -- I don't understand your comment,.. do you need to be in good physical shape to race a car like this? To be clear, do you mean you need to be in shape like a marathon runner is in shape, with great lungs and high endurance etc.? Is that what you are talking about or do you mean that you have to concentrate and pay attention to your driving? Maybe it is "my girl brain" but I never thought that driving was physical but maybe I am wrong on that???
I'm wachting this channel for years, but never subbed i'm so sorry! I watched it so much it was always on my recommended without actually being subbed. Of course is did now.
Very nice lap thou. I hate driving when tired. It's such a chore. Which do you prefer manual or flappie paddles.? Does using manual make you more tired.?
I suppose manual needs more effort since you have to think about heel and toe, whereas flappy paddles are just pressed and the clutch is done by the car.

Next time when driving new BMW M cars on track, press and hold the intelligent safety button to turn off. This will avoid the annoying warning sounds. Heard it also impacts horse power a little.
I came here to say this as well. Not sure it affects power, unless it’s Traction/ Stability control but defiantly annoying.
thanks for this comment

It would be nice to know more about the car, about the owner, the story behind it and even let the owner drives to chill a bit.
I agree too. Cars is not only driving. There is way more behind it! And im a 100% sure that you make great content, even if you dont drive! :)
Important point that Misha made: Comfort versus track ability, you just see where you want to have the dial
Exactly. That's why my car looks stock right now even though I have coilovers. If I want I can adjust it later for whatever I need.
I’m looking forward to getting a lap with you Misha! Always remember to get plenty of rest. That track is a beast!
Looking forward to watching Misha send a plane around the Ring!

I like the long gears and constant pull, it seems like an old school experience.
In the age of millisecond paddle shifting, it's quite different hearing those long gaps of silence before a corner during the downshift.
Agreed. I have a 5 speed E30 and I really want the manual G80. Still has that driving experience with the new tech.
The accident avoidance system on these new beemers is ridiculous as well.

That deep fake enigne sound makes the speed feels realy slow. Strange.. Nice driving by the way. :)
Thank you for the winter content, helping to see us through the closed season !
That green ST at 9:25 was me 😁
Did you try chasing?
If you burn the candle from both ends it burns out twice as fast, look after yourself Misha.
I think he already covered that at the begining of the video.
I think I have seen that car at Zolder last season (skylimit trackday)
Phenomenal performance/setup, traction in and coming out of the corners amazed me most.
Yes i was there☺️
Wish you all to stay healthy, wealthy and have a good mental vibe in 2023 👏

That clutch has too much travel for a sport car like the M3

Nice drive, but i'm wondering why you keep pressing the clutch for seconds when already in neutral.
I didn’t hear anyone mention what brand makes the clutch? The only one I know of is Clutch Masters FX400.
Man, driving a manual is such a mental exercise. I respect folks who daily manuals.
Misha just isn't so used to it, and racing clutches take a bit of learning feel wise. Once you are used to it there isn't really thought involved.
The car looks heavy with that setup.
The nut behind the wheel is the most important component. 😛
he def needs a new clutch master cylinder, the travel is way off for a sporty car. the clutch grubs way too late, probably too heavy for a stock mc
why dose the car sound soo bad it sounds like it almost misfireing when u left off the gas nice lap nice throe
