I can´t describe how impressed I am right now! I only saw some shorts of you having fun with your friends, but watching your dance with the Polo and also finally on Mishas channel is to much. I think it´s time that Bilstein is not only going to give you a suspension :D (If GITI is not interested already ;) ) Grüße vom Umwelt-Campus Birkenfeld
She's an artist and an engineer. She's intelligent and has an amazing personality. She carries so much speed through the corners! Both Misha and Megi had so much fun and appreciation for their laps. Sponsors should be bashing her door down; she would be a fantastic brand representative.
@@pepe_schnuerschuh I agree, she's completly at one with her car, it was amazing to watch her car control and precision. You're also correct, one thing people forget are the running costs, bigger faster cars mean bigger brakes, tyres, more wear and tear and generally more expensive parts.
i really liked her not following the ideal lines, as she knew her car much better than that. at these lover speeds and light car she did't have to follow half of the ideal lines. very refreshing to see. also, she took one of the banked turn at around 90 that is one of the fastest I have seen any car go.
If kids on Instagram and Tik Tok who call themselves "car guys" ever see this video, then they would have a heart attack. This lady is a very great driver.
@@yugimotobutjacked3231 Facts, people only make fun of trash drivers regardless of gender, although it does get brought up.. but anyone worth their weight as a racer can always see when someone else has skills, no need to bring it up
Outstanding car control. Vika deserves sponsorship and a seat in a race series. Her cornering reminded me of the old mini vs. mustang battles in the British race series of the late 1960's.

Was getting mad Sabine vibes too. Great laps, magic content. Get her some new Bilstein suspension Misha at the very least, but truthfully she needs a full time race seat somewhere!!!
I watched Misha go from his slightly sleepy looking "This will be a nice confident ride with a skilled rider" to eye's wide open "Mein Gott!" in like three corners. We see so many video's where the title is "he build a track weapon". Its a rare treat to see a driver that deserves the video title, "I rode WITH a track weapon"

Wow, this girl can wheel.. the new Sabine? Misha, I love watching your expressions when you're a passenger princess. Your eyes are so expressive and you can really tell how impressed you truly are. Great laps, and after not having spoke German for 10+ years, I didn't really need to read the subtitles (but I did anyway) which was cool!
she really did great , knows her car , knows the track , and made great use of them . gotta love those lower HP cars that really let you drive 10/10 , be fun , and not the fastest in a straight , but super fun in the corners . Meg's lap was cool to see how comfortable , and in a way non verbally rooting for Vika . was like automotive girl power . LOL.
what a pleasure to watch this young and very talented and already skilled lady. once i heard her talking she immediately reminds me of Sabine Schmitz (RIP, we still miss you but will never forget you). i would wish that someone gives this young lady a chance maybe as a ring taxi driver (like Sabine did) or even a beginning race career. again: what joy to watch. well done 👍👍👍 And to Bilstein: help this Lady please ☺️
She was so fantastic to watch! Incredible car control and seeing Misha's face, and following that of his fiancee it was smiles all around: The driver, her passengers and everyone watching on TH-cam. I was smiling very much for both of her laps. Hopefully she is able to get into a much faster and more powerful car and get a racing seat going forward. She reminds me of Sabine.
Wow! I love to see this. Glad Maggie was able to get a lap also. Vika needs a few sponsors of parts. Help this lady improve her car and driving experience. Amazing watch Misha. Thank you Sir.
That was such fun to watch her driving skills! An instructor friend of mine said it is more fun to watch someone driving a car like that one on ten tenths compared to a faster car! As it is designed to do just that! Bravo young lady! 🥳🤩
Ladies who lap 🥰 Interesting that Vika is wearing the Simpson Hybrid - I presume that is 'ring-legal since it still allows full head movement compared to traditional HANS? Good to know since that (afaik) is the only one which fits the female profile. I hope to meet her on track some day, albeit briefly as she comes flying past 😆You definitely have to get her a hook-up with Bilstein. Nice to see Megi enjoying the lap too 😊
"Ring-legal" depends on the day - this is a public access day, no safety equipment required, just a car that's safe and legal to be driving on public roads. Track day requirements are much stricter.
@@HaralHeisto The point being a conventional rigid HANS device is *not* allowed during Touristenfahrten since it is run according to German road rules which prohibit such devices - same for the wraparound race seats.
I’m so very impressed and smiling so wide my jaw hurts. You drive so smoothly and because you do you are incredibly fast. I can see that you drive beyond your car’s limit of control but somehow your driving talent enables you to will it to perform like a properly set up race car. You drive with so much passion and calm yet aggressive and controlled you remind me of Michael Schumacher. Young lady you can drive, you deserve a better car and an opportunity to race professionally! God’s Speed
I follow her since a couple of month and I'm really suprise with her youtube contents. She's a really nice driver with the polo, the E36 and others. There is a lot of local drivers and I'm really happy you have filmed her, maybe next time we will see Cocoszg or the blue wide body austin mini ! Thank you Misha
Das ist halt schon geil - die meisten Kurven Vollgas, fährt trotzdem die selben Kurvengeschwindigkeiten wie die großen. Respekt an Vika und ihren Polo 👌
Im about to buy replacement Bilstiens on my Evo 9 and refuse to until I hear that they sent her a set! All she wants is suspension, bless her ❤ that second lap and the smile on their faces actually brought tears to my eyes. Bloody lovely.
Wow! Just wow! Awesome runs! And a memorable one too. Right up there with my all time favourites... the Boosted Boris E39 run, the Citroën shitbox run, the runs with Apex staff and the runs with the small hatchback Honda civics. ❤ She can really² drive. And I love the fact that that little car is screaming and giving everything that its got. Much love. ❤
Her grappling of the corners and speed are just fantastic. I hope Bilstein does hit her up! You can feel she knows her car inside-out which makes watching this very exciting. (also I like her comments while driving like she comments on the weather.)
She's an original.🤣 I love her. When you understand driving on the edge, and you see what she does, and how she does it. 🤣 That's a unicorn right there.
Until this videos my passion for divining wasn't 100% now this lady has brought it back. Her composure and being in control epic. Thank you. You should be racing.
First time i see you speaking german and you having the interview in german! ;) Nice to see that. By the way. Respect for her driving skills, but as well for this old Polo with over 320.000km for over 1000 Laps =)
Very high cornering speeds. I'm really impressed. Clearly visible that this young lady knows her car very-very well. And not affraid to use it properly. Respect! :)
Different tyres front to back for handling?? The passion and focus and experience required to find this solution is just wow. ZoMG this was amazing for so many reasons. What a great driver, great car, great video.
i grew up working on old american v8 cars. the sound of hp and rpms is one of the most beautiful things in song no matter who built it. this girl made that car sing and it was wonderful. salute and respect
Vika is very quick and had that car on the edge. Very cool. Megi has such a beautiful smile and I think she had that painted on for the entire lap. :) You could see she really enjoyed that lap as a passenger. Awesome job! And yes, Vika needs a better car. I have a feeling that's going to happen soon. Really enjoyed watching this!
50 more hp and new suspension, abs fixed and this girl will become a menace on the ring, Misha, get her some upgrades for that and get her abs fixed pls for more of this:)
Misha you did meet the Queen of the Nürburgring?I did watch the Queen live driving on the Nürburgring, now I'm crying, but the world needs another Queen there. Thanks I was bored
Excellent laps indeed, im very impressed no doubt. Im stoked i stay tuned to this channel. Some are okay and fun but this is a super must see video of a woman who needs a sponsor and help to grow in this sport of all out racing skills❤❤
She has to be one of the smoothest drivers I have ever witnessed; that means confidence and calmness. She takes a reIatively low horsepower auto to its limits as can be heard in many curves. I can't tell you enough about that but she is impressive. I have been involved with SCCA autocrossing since the 1970s and have witnessed many people doing these events and women seem to perform so well in high performance autos.She is indeed talented. Thanks for the video.
It's very interesting indeed. I remember reading about a pilot evaluation paper about women and men comparisons in fighterpilot simulators. Women were found to possess more of the "wanted" skills of a pilot, like smoothness and predictability and stability. Iirc it was found however that in emergency situations they performed worse. I can't remember the source but I'm confident that it was a Saab study.
One of my favourite videos you have ever shared! So much happiness and awesome driving in this! Hope somebody can get her some new suspension & fix the abs! Failing that we have to crowd fund it or something she really deserves it!
The thing with slow cars is you learn to keep the momentum, her cornering speeds are awesome, entrys and everything. She knows the cars limits and she keeps pushing it, i was honestly amazed even at the begining the way she "attacks" those corners. She deserves the support for a better car or upgrades !
Misha sat down, along with Megi, and watched the lap, Misha had almost as much fun watching the playback, as Megi did as the passenger. I sincerely enjoyed this video, when true emotion is present, it adds to the impact, Thank you!
Well done Vika, she knows the limit of that car.she really pushed it. Would love to see her on a faster car clocking the speed limits on those straight. She has no fear coz she knows the track extremely well.fantastic too see
......they DO exist :O I've said since the 80s that what we need more of in automotive sports in general, are more women drivers. Such a breath of fresh air to see this gal laying down such great laps! And I love her down to earth, easy going personality too......and the helmet sticker lol, seems she has a great sense of humor as well how awesome! Heading over to her channel to check out some videos!
Die anderen waren nur schnell auf den geraden Abschnitten, aber in den kleinen Kurven, wo es drauf ankommt, hat sie wieder alle eingeholt und kaputt gemacht. Reschpeckt!
The skills that she has ... is the stuff of legends! The way that she pointed the pros and cons of the car, and yet driving like the way she did... She demostrated that even with the cons of the car, she turned into pros. With better suspension, ABS issue solved and probably more 25 to 50 hp, it will be a lot more fun! Greetings from Portugal.
I was going to make a silly joke about impressive airbags but after watching both laps I can really appreciate pushing a car like that to its limits, you learn so much more than some crazy fast Porsche where you can't even get to 50%.
I used to do autocross, i had a 140hp 1991 acura integra. It had double independent wishbone suspension on all 4 corners and a tein suspension with r888 tires. It wasnt fast but it absolutely owned in competition in my class. Ive had fast cars and slow car and the most fun ive ever had is in my slow cars with good suspension and sticky tires.
Ah, no ABS, I noticed some down shifts were quite early before some corners, so I'm guessing that's why? But watching the smiles on your faces was a real treat! This girl's a new legend!!!
Absoluten Respekt, etwas kenne ich die Schleife ebenfalls,aber selten eine so lässige schnelle entspannten fahrer bzw Fahrerin erlebt die mit diesem Material solche runden zaubert. Eine 1 te wahl für das BMW Ring Taxi,ich hoffe es wird wer auf das Talent aufmerksam. Jede Runde mit ihr macht Riesen Spaß. Danke an dieser super sympathische Girl. 😊👏🖖👍
She's so talented, the way she was driving that Polo, absolutely amazing (she has a new follower too😅) and I'll be sharing this video too, I do hope that she gets some backing to go racing too… thanks to the both of you, Ste 🇬🇧
100% of time she is in full control of the car. Great driving! I used to have bone stock version of this old Polo. This car is perfect for entry level training. You guys would not believe how fun that car is to drive! Honestly, I think with that much experience it is about time to upgrade the car to something more serious tho. With 1300 laps under her belt, this lady is definitely not a beginner anymore.
at minute 3:36" she brakes suddenly and turns slightly, putting the car at the limit of the skid like a wrc car, achieving an amazing cornering for a modest 125hp car. She is amazing.
First thing is her face. So relaxed and having fun. (she didn't even have a "I'm focused and concentrating" look.) Second, her driving is so smooth and fluid! I'll join the chorus and say , Misha, let her try something quicker but just the same, it takes serious skill to drive any car at its limits. I reckon she'd make a 2CV kick its heels given the chance and we'd enjoy watching it just as much. 1000+ laps. That's 'Ring Taxi numbers! Fantastic to see more women behind the wheel . Sabine would be impressed.
Thank you Misha for the great video and the session together! It was a pleasure! And thank you also for trusting me with your wife!
I can´t describe how impressed I am right now!

It's the old saying; "Straights are for fast cars, corners are for fast drivers" ....and this lady is one heck of a fast driver. Very impressive.

@@bielup that's correct. 👍
and not bad in traffic, either.. Sabine in a Transit and now this lady in a Polo... it's all in the driving. A joy to watch...
That's so true, my 335d xdrive is like a boat in the tight ones, but the straights are where she's at home.
Or: »To be or to have«. »Be« is a fast driver . . .
Not a "fast car", no ABS, no suspension, and still one of the smoothest laps I have watched on this channel! Bravo.
BravA :)
Amen!
Thats the thing. If you don´t have the power you need to be smooth to be quick
Sometimes, you realize that been fast is relative.

She doesn't need a new suspension, she deserves a better car!
Hopefully we can watch another lap after fixing the brakes and the suspension
agree she need faster car. Her skills out class the car by a lot

It's a no-brainer for Bilstein. Cost of 1 suspension in exchange for marketing to thousands of motorsports enthusiasts who are potential customers..
They would rebuild mine for not much cash.

Misha, I love watching your expressions when you're a passenger princess. Your eyes are so expressive and you can really tell how impressed you truly are. Great laps, and after not having spoke German for 10+ years, I didn't really need to read the subtitles (but I did anyway) which was cool!
Great video! The 2nd Lap with Megi was soooo wholesome. Just a joy to watch! 😃
The way she knows her car, and how it works with the track, alongside the set up prior to corner entry is a beautiful thing to watch.
What a driver! I don't think a professional pilot could push this car more than her! She's a talented girl behind the wheel!
she really did great , knows her car , knows the track , and made great use of them . gotta love those lower HP cars that really let you drive 10/10 , be fun , and not the fastest in a straight , but super fun in the corners . Meg's lap was cool to see how comfortable , and in a way non verbally rooting for Vika . was like automotive girl power . LOL.
She is a very skillful driver....let us pray that all her dreams come true....the world will be a better place for it!
what a pleasure to watch this young and very talented and already skilled lady. once i heard her talking she immediately reminds me of Sabine Schmitz (RIP, we still miss you but will never forget you). i would wish that someone gives this young lady a chance maybe as a ring taxi driver (like Sabine did) or even a beginning race career. again: what joy to watch. well done 👍👍👍 And to Bilstein: help this Lady please ☺️
Give her a decent car she totally deserves it seriously.. Huge respect the way she took the corners she knows her own car so well.. Big big respect!
She was so fantastic to watch! Incredible car control and seeing Misha's face, and following that of his fiancee it was smiles all around: The driver, her passengers and everyone watching on TH-cam. I was smiling very much for both of her laps. Hopefully she is able to get into a much faster and more powerful car and get a racing seat going forward. She reminds me of Sabine.
Wow! I love to see this. Glad Maggie was able to get a lap also. Vika needs a few sponsors of parts. Help this lady improve her car and driving experience. Amazing watch Misha. Thank you Sir.
Uhm...did I just get speechless? What a way to kick off my Sundaymorning. Loved to see the ladies shine together as well. Mucho positive vibes. Wow!
That was such fun to watch her driving skills! An instructor friend of mine said it is more fun to watch someone driving a car like that one on ten tenths compared to a faster car! As it is designed to do just that! Bravo young lady! 🥳🤩
Was so happy to see the pure joy on Megi's face. Really great job in picking the perfect therapy driver for her.
She knows the car very well. The way she redlines to help with understeer to corner faster. What a mad lass.
Ladies who lap 🥰 Interesting that Vika is wearing the Simpson Hybrid - I presume that is 'ring-legal since it still allows full head movement compared to traditional HANS? Good to know since that (afaik) is the only one which fits the female profile. I hope to meet her on track some day, albeit briefly as she comes flying past 😆You definitely have to get her a hook-up with Bilstein.
Nice to see Megi enjoying the lap too 😊
"Ring-legal" depends on the day - this is a public access day, no safety equipment required, just a car that's safe and legal to be driving on public roads. Track day requirements are much stricter.
@@HaralHeisto The point being a conventional rigid HANS device is *not* allowed during Touristenfahrten since it is run according to German road rules which prohibit such devices - same for the wraparound race seats.
Wow! So smooth, professional, confident, and *fast*! I was getting a rush just watching on the screen, I can't imagine how fun it would be in person!
I’m so very impressed and smiling so wide my jaw hurts. You drive so smoothly and because you do you are incredibly fast. I can see that you drive beyond your car’s limit of control but somehow your driving talent enables you to will it to perform like a properly set up race car. You drive with so much passion and calm yet aggressive and controlled you remind me of Michael Schumacher. Young lady you can drive, you deserve a better car and an opportunity to race professionally! God’s Speed
I follow her since a couple of month and I'm really suprise with her youtube contents.
She's a really nice driver with the polo, the E36 and others.
There is a lot of local drivers and I'm really happy you have filmed her, maybe next time we will see Cocoszg or the blue wide body austin mini !
Thank you Misha
Das ist halt schon geil - die meisten Kurven Vollgas, fährt trotzdem die selben Kurvengeschwindigkeiten wie die großen. Respekt an Vika und ihren Polo 👌
This Lady is amazing behind the wheel. The ease, the control, pure joy and knolege of the ring, just reminds me of another great lady of the ring!
Im about to buy replacement Bilstiens on my Evo 9 and refuse to until I hear that they sent her a set! All she wants is suspension, bless her ❤ that second lap and the smile on their faces actually brought tears to my eyes. Bloody lovely.
Wow! Just wow!
Awesome runs! And a memorable one too.
Right up there with my all time favourites... the Boosted Boris E39 run, the Citroën shitbox run, the runs with Apex staff and the runs with the small hatchback Honda civics. ❤
She can really² drive. And I love the fact that that little car is screaming and giving everything that its got. Much love. ❤
Respect for Megi for facing her fear so bravely! Svaka čast! 💪🏻💪🏻
Her grappling of the corners and speed are just fantastic. I hope Bilstein does hit her up! You can feel she knows her car inside-out which makes watching this very exciting. (also I like her comments while driving like she comments on the weather.)
She's an original.🤣 I love her. When you understand driving on the edge, and you see what she does, and how she does it. 🤣 That's a unicorn right there.
Until this videos my passion for divining wasn't 100% now this lady has brought it back. Her composure and being in control epic. Thank you. You should be racing.
First time i see you speaking german and you having the interview in german! ;)
Nice to see that.
By the way. Respect for her driving skills, but as well for this old Polo with over 320.000km for over 1000 Laps =)
Very high cornering speeds. I'm really impressed. Clearly visible that this young lady knows her car very-very well. And not affraid to use it properly. Respect! :)
Wow, what an incredible couple of laps! As your good lady said, ‘not too fast, not too slow’. Fearless and flat out. Perfect 🤌🏼
Different tyres front to back for handling?? The passion and focus and experience required to find this solution is just wow. ZoMG this was amazing for so many reasons. What a great driver, great car, great video.
i grew up working on old american v8 cars. the sound of hp and rpms is one of the most beautiful things in song no matter who built it. this girl made that car sing and it was wonderful. salute and respect
Vika is very quick and had that car on the edge. Very cool.
Megi has such a beautiful smile and I think she had that painted on for the entire lap. :)
You could see she really enjoyed that lap as a passenger.
Awesome job! And yes, Vika needs a better car. I have a feeling that's going to happen soon.
Really enjoyed watching this!
50 more hp and new suspension, abs fixed and this girl will become a menace on the ring, Misha, get her some upgrades for that and get her abs fixed pls for more of this:)
Please, we need to see more of her, someone please Sponsor this great driver👌
Misha you did meet the Queen of the Nürburgring?I did watch the Queen live driving on the Nürburgring, now I'm crying, but the world needs another Queen there.
Thanks I was bored
Maybe not a Queen, but definetly a Princess
Excellent laps indeed, im very impressed no doubt. Im stoked i stay tuned to this channel. Some are okay and fun but this is a super must see video of a woman who needs a sponsor and help to grow in this sport of all out racing skills❤❤
Super smooth lap!!! ..and can we take a moment to appreciate that car has over 320,000km on the odometer!!!! +/-1300 laps!! Absolutely talented!!
She has to be one of the smoothest drivers I have ever witnessed; that means confidence and calmness. She takes a reIatively low horsepower auto to its limits as can be heard in many curves. I can't tell you enough about that but she is impressive. I have been involved with SCCA autocrossing since the 1970s and have witnessed many people doing these events and women seem to perform so well in high performance autos.She is indeed talented. Thanks for the video.
It's very interesting indeed. I remember reading about a pilot evaluation paper about women and men comparisons in fighterpilot simulators. Women were found to possess more of the "wanted" skills of a pilot, like smoothness and predictability and stability. Iirc it was found however that in emergency situations they performed worse. I can't remember the source but I'm confident that it was a Saab study.
girl racer right there. the joy on Megis face said it all. wat a cool lady driver.
One of my favourite videos you have ever shared! So much happiness and awesome driving in this!
Hope somebody can get her some new suspension & fix the abs! Failing that we have to crowd fund it or something she really deserves it!
She drove so smoothly it felt like a normal, high speed Sunday drive down ol'Nurburg. Very niceeee
The thing with slow cars is you learn to keep the momentum, her cornering speeds are awesome, entrys and everything. She knows the cars limits and she keeps pushing it, i was honestly amazed even at the begining the way she "attacks" those corners. She deserves the support for a better car or upgrades !
She was totally chilled, at one with the car! Awesome.
Misha sat down, along with Megi, and watched the lap, Misha had almost as much fun watching the playback, as Megi did as the passenger. I sincerely enjoyed this video, when true emotion is present, it adds to the impact, Thank you!
I finally understand "driving slow cars fast" wow! Amazing lap
Well done Vika, she knows the limit of that car.she really pushed it. Would love to see her on a faster car clocking the speed limits on those straight. She has no fear coz she knows the track extremely well.fantastic too see
......they DO exist :O
I've said since the 80s that what we need more of in automotive sports in general, are more women drivers. Such a breath of fresh air to see this gal laying down such great laps! And I love her down to earth, easy going personality too......and the helmet sticker lol, seems she has a great sense of humor as well how awesome!
Heading over to her channel to check out some videos!
"Da kommen jetzt die ganzen schnellen" Die einfach mal eine halbe Ewigkeit gebraucht haben... also schnell war hier eher der kleine Polo. Respekt!!
Die anderen waren nur schnell auf den geraden Abschnitten, aber in den kleinen Kurven, wo es drauf ankommt, hat sie wieder alle eingeholt und kaputt gemacht. Reschpeckt!
The skills that she has ... is the stuff of legends!
The way that she pointed the pros and cons of the car, and yet driving like the way she did...
She demostrated that even with the cons of the car, she turned into pros.
With better suspension, ABS issue solved and probably more 25 to 50 hp, it will be a lot more fun!
Greetings from Portugal.
I must admit that her driving exceeded my expectations. Hats off to her!
I was going to make a silly joke about impressive airbags but after watching both laps I can really appreciate pushing a car like that to its limits, you learn so much more than some crazy fast Porsche where you can't even get to 50%.
I used to do autocross, i had a 140hp 1991 acura integra. It had double independent wishbone suspension on all 4 corners and a tein suspension with r888 tires. It wasnt fast but it absolutely owned in competition in my class. Ive had fast cars and slow car and the most fun ive ever had is in my slow cars with good suspension and sticky tires.
Love how Misha's eyes getting hella big there when the rear dances 10:05
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well spotted
Great catch! I had to go back and check it out. That 'look' was worth the price of admission!
Change of underwear needed 🤣🤣🤣
Follow her since some time, met her on track and carpark. Fast Lady, nice human. 👍
From smiley eyes to eyes wide open. Nice seeing your reaction Misha.
Ah, no ABS, I noticed some down shifts were quite early before some corners, so I'm guessing that's why? But watching the smiles on your faces was a real treat! This girl's a new legend!!!
Absoluten Respekt, etwas kenne ich die Schleife ebenfalls,aber selten eine so lässige schnelle entspannten fahrer bzw Fahrerin erlebt die mit diesem Material solche runden zaubert. Eine 1 te wahl für das BMW Ring Taxi,ich hoffe es wird wer auf das Talent aufmerksam. Jede Runde mit ihr macht Riesen Spaß. Danke an dieser super sympathische Girl. 😊👏🖖👍
4:40 Misha realizes that they will dance until the end of the lap :D
The eyes getting wide then the double blink was definitely a telltale sign.
Flat out, confident turn ins, I LIKE IT! Well done Vika
Love seeing a slow car driven fast! She has great skills!
She's so talented, the way she was driving that Polo, absolutely amazing (she has a new follower too😅) and I'll be sharing this video too, I do hope that she gets some backing to go racing too… thanks to the both of you, Ste 🇬🇧
Micha put it best i think: "Mega". This is how you actually DRIVE a car with full confidence in your own abilities.
That girl has no slow mode !!! She deserves a freakin monster car !!! I'm just .. blown away of her skills
I always enjoy your videos Misha, thank you for giving Vika "air time" amazing to see what she is doing with such a modest car.
100% of time she is in full control of the car. Great driving! I used to have bone stock version of this old Polo. This car is perfect for entry level training. You guys would not believe how fun that car is to drive! Honestly, I think with that much experience it is about time to upgrade the car to something more serious tho. With 1300 laps under her belt, this lady is definitely not a beginner anymore.
at minute 3:36" she brakes suddenly and turns slightly, putting the car at the limit of the skid like a wrc car, achieving an amazing cornering for a modest 125hp car. She is amazing.
First thing is her face. So relaxed and having fun. (she didn't even have a "I'm focused and concentrating" look.)
Second, her driving is so smooth and fluid! I'll join the chorus and say , Misha, let her try something quicker but just the same, it takes serious skill to drive any car at its limits. I reckon she'd make a 2CV kick its heels given the chance and we'd enjoy watching it just as much.
1000+ laps. That's 'Ring Taxi numbers!
Fantastic to see more women behind the wheel . Sabine would be impressed.
