Great lap mate 👍 I've got no idea where that DVD screensaver came from but damn it took me back
Go pro decided to not record for 2/3seconds so Borre worked he’s magic on a gap filler 😂
Drove that car last sunday, is very nice track car
Good video
Hey George, What is youir opinion on the NS-2R? Would you say it sits in the middle between PS4 and AR-1 or closer to one of them? PS4S isn't available in my tyre size but PS4 and NS-2R are. AR-1 isn't suitable for wet at all obviously.
It’s a decent tyre for a casual lapper. Lasts a long time and isn’t terrible in the wet we have it on the 218 here and was on the Cupra and golf also never had any complaints
That (w)hole lap in the Polo was MINT! 😽
(I can already predict George's facepalm but Misha's chuckle)
The cornering through Hatzenbach really conveyed the grip newly available, even keeping up with the BMW's lines. Nice driving and attitude especially at the end with the Audi.
It’ll go Yeet
damnit
here after u
Really like the Mechanic Mindset going into Brünnchen
Is it good or is it bad? It’s good...how do I make it better?
Shakedown runs are always fun, trying to see what might break/need tweaking before it can go very wrong.
Nice vid 👍
Full Misha spec! Nice!

Polo and BMW218 are great cars to enjoy The Ring in where you can relax and enjoy the drive not having to worry about the responsibility of a supercar. Appreciate your analysis.
George. you have changed a lot since you started at Apex.
at first you seemed shy and did not talk much.
but then you got started and now you are making youtube videos yourself.
it's super cool.
but when do you jump out as a race car driver.
it must be the next step for you.
😉
Not a huge fan of being in front of the camera believe it or not lol. But the videos are just for fun to share some cool stuff here.
I’d love to but I really need to improve my driving before that for sure

Just remember. You dont need to be no 1. To have fun.
Your driving looks fine, and you are faster than some of the hobby race drivers.
If you want to race, you need to start while you still are Young.
It is just so expensive.
You are doing great, and i enjoy your videos, so thanks for sharing 😁
More and more great Vids. Remember to always clean your lens before you start to shoot.
I’m an Amateur still 🤷🏼♂️😂
Hi, you use Endless ME20/22 brakepads on ur cars. How do you get them streetlegal?
Would running the AR1s for a while have any effect on the wheel bearings, maybe wear them faster, similar to what happened on the M4 when Robert Kubica drove it?
Grippier tyres will defo put more stress on suspension components/wheel bearings. Wheel bearings more so depending on driving style
Mate! That straight from camera? Couse 1044 is ok, but when switch 1080p quality is crap...
Its edited, plays okay on my laptop tbh
@@TwistedSymmetryUK maybe exported higher bitrate then yt recomend. I guess... But i think several people near you, who knows better then me... why is that...
Type Video Bitrate, Standard Frame Rate
(24, 25, 30)
2160p (4K) 35-45 Mbps
@@Rohambili It's been exported at 4k60fps 45-50Mpbs
@@borre_z Thats it! 60 fps demands more bitrate. 53-68 Mbps
Thats why destroyed youtube the quality and make it 30 fps.

Does having a slick/semi-slick tyre require any adjustment in setup of the car/driving style (compared to more road bias tyres)? Or is everything the same, you just go faster?
It does slightly as on a normal road tyre you’d encounter some understeer so you counter for this on cornering, tend to have a lot less of this with a nice grippy tyre like an AR1
What I find is that grippier tyres give more understeer. It's not so much an issue on a track car where you can adjust certain things to compensate, but on a street car it can be annoying. Even more so if the car itself doesnt have a particularly track friendly suspension. For example, I had a Mazda3 and with RE71s the car plowed like hell, even with wider fronts than rears, the front was just dead set in the bumpstops and there was nothing you could do. On DZ102s, you could play with the balance and it was much more enjoyable, even if less grippy.
Now if your car has a stiffer suspension, such as say a CTR, Hyundai N, Megane RS, etc, you can put wider fronts (say 255s front, 225s rear) to compensate the added understeer from semi slicks.
At least IMO. I think a reason you could think there's less understeer with grippy tyres is initially the car takes a set much quicker, but steady cornering I find it understeers much more.
Nice lap! But what is your opinion about Hankook tire for the daily drive?
Hankook ventus Evo 2 👌🏼👌🏼
2:22 that m3. my favorite ring car beside the m4 of apex
George, does this mean you might go up in size for the PS4s on the POLO? It certainly seemed to be a very smooth and quick lap. I wish we got the Polo here in the states. Really enjoyed . Thanks
Maybe, I’m thinking to go to a 225 NS2r before next tuv and so we can have it in the papers, test is needed Forst to make sure the side works. Polo is pretty cool tho
@@TwistedSymmetryUK Agreed!
Can you please make a video on which mods are the best mods for a golf Mk4??
I think me and misha could do this combined tbh once he’s golf is back :)
What you need is a bunch of weight to load her up. I'd volunteer but I'm on the wrong continent. I do enjoy these laps none the less.
Normally would but covid doesn’t allow more than one passenger..Sergi is 2kg more than a bottle of water and nobody else was here :(
Hi geo! You wanna know something? Im here before Misha and Tristan
By the way how's goin with the Supra's "F*cking Traction Control"?
Still before misha

Hi
Do you know the wheel dimensions/specifications of the protrack wheels that you are using in the polo gti with ps4?
8jx18 5x100 et42
@@TwistedSymmetryUK thank you very much
I'm looking to a pro track wheels for my polo GTI.
This ar1 in 235 or 225 also fit in the protrack wheels right?
@@bluedark_polo The 235 touched a little and was a little too wide on the rim, going up to a 225 would be perfect for this car imo :)
@@bluedark_polo 225 would be best
Wow thought for sure it would have been bad on the carousel. Whole time I'm going it to be bad you nailed and next to nothing.
Surely I cant be the only one who see's the winking Ghost of Dyana?
Easter eggs for days
👍
So how I'm more concern about the horror movie thumbnail.
Hahahaha Easter eggs incoming 👀
nice, just get a mic on you.
Ya. Adjust the audio on your upload so we can hear you better, please.
