That was definitely fun to watch. Misha relaxed like a bus driver while pushing that old piece of steel around the ring while the passenger is close turning into a medical emergency case. Misha should get a paramedic training if he is doing that more often to people 😅
The passenger's face was priceless. The amount of times he wanted to say the F word 😂. I think I speak on behalf of everyone here when I say that Misha is a weapon, he just jumped in that thing for the first time and quickly got to grips with it. Was so fun to watch. Was smiling the whole time. More stuff with these guys please.
@@MotorAddicts shut up you mug, go cry in another car for another crap video... You're so clueless about cars it's funny,and you look like a massive melt to go with it...
absolutely epic little car! my first track car was a mk1 cabriolet, with KW, Falken, Borla, with a cam, mk2 gti engine, completely stripped, it was soooo fun! the feel of a properly set up mk1 on a track is absolutely unbeatable. the BMW driver picking NOT to pass because there was someone faster, that is responsible driving on the ring. hats off to that guy for awareness and common sense
Hell yeah, love the VW classics! Stock pads & old (DOT 4 or even 3) fluid overheat was predictable; and motor overheat (due to turbocharging) as well; but until that it handled itself pretty well. We must of course also realize that this is no dedicated track build.
This was utter class! Great Collab video and the golf really did well, it sounds fantastic! Spectacular driving as always Misha. Impresses me so much how you can adapt so quickly to anything you get in.
That Golf mk1 did really well indeed! Those old cars had very good feedback from tires to steering wheel. I remember driving a Passat from similar era and when it was about to lose traction, you could always tell which tire was about to slide! More modern cars can go faster around the corners thanks to better suspension but the feedback is much worse. It was quite surprising that the limiting factor was engine cooling instead of brakes or suspension!
Based on many cars that Misha driven, I think a lot of them would benefits from better radiator, better cooling fans, add oil cooler if not have one, and better brakes (brake line, caliper, pad, disc). But damn, Misha have the skill to just push a vehicle to speed that most owner never experienced before, that's just pure talent, IMO. EDIT: Also need good set of suspension & tires.
I drove a Mk 1 (known as Rabbit GTI in the US) in 1978. It belonged to a high school friend, and it was a lot faster than anyone expected, so we won a lot of drag races. It was about as fun to drive as any car I had driven up to that time. Easy to drive fast.
Love the Golf mk1, my first car. Mine had a 1.8 and weber dcoe, made about 100hp when it wasn't breaking down or rusting lol. Hope Motor Addicts can bring this GTI back to Misha with upgraded steering rack and cooling and brake pads. Great vid!
Great edit with the front and rear camera above and below and the cluster and yourself/passenger in the center. Very enjoyable to watch this way! Shame that the speedo wasnt working this time and took up the center of the screen hehe.
This was the first time I really understood how hard Misha really pushes these vehicles. Seeing a car that old stay at 5k+ the entire track for the most part is so impressive. Man is a true g on the ring!
I had a Mk1 Jetta GLI that I had a 2L turbo setup in. It was only around 200hp at the wheels but it was an absolute pleasure to scoot around in. I had big Neuspeed anti-roll bars and just a decent set of sport shocks and springs. With good tires, it was so fun.
it is so respectable to see someone face their fears and still stay relatively collected and funny. I think everyone can reach their limit at the Ring and Misha makes for an excellent guide there! amazing videos love the channel
Been watching your vids forever man. First time to comment and Misha, very impressive. Always love your cool calm approach to ragging the crap out of other peoples cars.
I had a 2.0 Audi 9a 16v in a mk1 golf, with mk2 gti disc brakes all round and still managed to fade them out with probably 150hp, another 100hp on top with this 1.8t! The stock mk1 brakes must have been utterly roasted here! Quite incredible to see the little golf holding it's own though. Great fun. Don't forget the RHD mk1 had a horrible brake linkage setup bolted to the firewall, the pedal felt like total cack, master cyl & servo was always on the left hand side.
I think my fav videos are honestly when Misha drives stock or close to stock, lower powered classics. VWs, Celicas, Ladas, have we gotten a Chevy?. They are always such a hoot to watch push on the track, and the fact he passes other modern cars shows his skill on this track. Just amazing.
My parents had this "Golf GTI MK1" in blue when we lived in Germany, I remember that I was only 6 years old when I started the car in front of a hole that my father had dug in our land, and it was there that I sank the car XD. What good memories! 😄
Seeing my old MK1 go to the ring final is amazing but to see you Misha drive it, is amazing. I never had the time to take it out. Maybe when I have my m113 944 Porsche on the road I'll come and see you
In stock class racing we always used a long luggage strap around the seat to hold the upper body in place when the seats lacked bolstering. Works well and is dirt cheap.
I'm a huge Mk1 fan, and still have an '81 Diesel Rabbit/Caddy LX pickup as my daily driver (with GTI snowflake wheels on it, of course). That was a lot of fun to watch, and if that was done on Kelsey-Hayes front calipers......OMG!!!! Insanity!! That 1o'clock position on the temp gauge is where the radiator fan switch comes on, so you guys were fine. I wonder if the loss of power was the brakes heating, expanding the brake fluid, and maybe over powering the check valve(s) in the master cylinder causing the pads to drag. I would put a large diameter cross bar under the car to tie the 2 front "horns" that the lower control arm bolts go into, together, and a bar across the top to tie the top towers together as well (if it doesn't have them). They like to break in the corners of the firewall, when those lower horns start to get stressed and pulled outward. Awesome driving to thread that little beast around the ring like you did!!
Hey Misha is there a chance that you could make a tech talk about aftermarket seats? Robert did great tech talk about helmets and harnesses which opened my eyes to the safety topic. However there's still much to be said about aftermarket seats. So when you install an aftermarket seat and use 3 point harnesses then you might lose a seat airbag, doesn't it compromise the safety system a bit? Also I'm very curious about your opinion about different seats ('ABE' or 'TUV' certified like Recaro, FIA certified or without any certifications (like Sparco, OMP etc)).
I went there In my R35, it was pretty quick but heavy, then I took a lap in a ring taxi GT3RS and was shown what proper corner speed was. Loved seeing Owen squirm, I wasn’t so vocal but you have that feeling as they enter a corner far faster than you would
love the mk1. Mom had a 77 I got my license in it and drove through HS. Surprised many racing that thing around and baking the tires off. A friend's dad had a 83 Callaway turbo GTI that was a missile. Also another friend with a 82 diesel that was an anti missile, was the only car iv driven that needed to be down shifted into first to make it up almost any hill and would smoke out an entire highway at 80mph. Good times! never had much luck with the vdo speedos either even in my scirocco.
Absolutely fuggin Loved this video. I was rocking Mk1s back in the day, when they were a dime a dozen. Wish I still had one! Weird how something I used to own has become a dream car to me.
8:00 how much horsepower do these Rent4ring 1er have (thought these are 125i with like 220hp) ?? Misha in an 260hp lightweight car full accelerating and this thing pulls away like crazy 🤔
Thanks Misha, epic video 🤙🏻 we will bring more next year and get you in the Celica GT-Four 😂
Very brave of you to step in as a passenger whilst your mates stay behind 😅 - stick them at the back next time 😂
@@KretinzUnited probably not allowed without seatbelts
@@KretinzUnited we will do when he has seatbelts 😂
@@MsToma84 agreed 😆
Please bring more of your toys to the Nürburgring we'd love to see them!
That was definitely fun to watch. Misha relaxed like a bus driver while pushing that old piece of steel around the ring while the passenger is close turning into a medical emergency case.
Misha should get a paramedic training if he is doing that more often to people 😅
Haha dude was mad lol
😂
😂😂😂👌🏼
he acts like this in a 1.0 corsa though, all his videos are the same, him almost crying as someone takes him for a drive...
@@BariLopesh 😂
04:36 Best reaction in the Background, love this guy :D
LETS GOOO 🏁🙌🏽
Can't wait to see Misha thrash Da Rat around here
Wow jamie..more then good to see you here! So happy misha his reputation has arrived at yours❤😊
Saw him on OG first. Amazing guy.
done well bros
Would love to see you in the passenger seat of the ES Porsche with Misha doing a lap !😉
So happy to see motor addicts and Misha in the same video.
Owen is such a great character
😬😬
@@MotorAddicts looks like it was a fun/scary lap 🤣
The marshals reaction at @4:35 is hilarious. 😂
I didn't notice until I seen your comment lol😂😂😂
it was a delayed reaction too 😂
@@oscaroogabooga8565 he was making sure that little VW was making those noises😂
He was like ...What the F...that thing is LOUD
Was looking for a comment like this. Wanted to point it out as well. 😂
The passenger's face was priceless. The amount of times he wanted to say the F word 😂. I think I speak on behalf of everyone here when I say that Misha is a weapon, he just jumped in that thing for the first time and quickly got to grips with it. Was so fun to watch.

@@MotorAddicts should definitely bring more stuff but the old golf did well 💯
Shame the guy from MA is absolutely clueless 😅

Definitely one of my favorite videos on this channel. The reactions from Motor Addicts is just hilarious
😬😬😬
MISHA'S EVIL LAUGH 04:48 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Thanks for stoppin' by buddy.
You are hilarious!
**locks brakes**
Misha (In a calm voice) - "Ah no ABS I forgot about that"
Passenger (Scared) - "no abs no"
😂😂😂
oh no XD

6:11 That: No ABS! NO! make me laugh so much :D Gr8 run, fun to watch.
Misha you’re just a superb driver! Very entertaining video, this one 😂
Misha and Owen in a OG GTI, this is all kinds of awesome!
And i got a good laugh out of Owen's humor and facial expressions.
😂
"How's the temperatures?" About the same as Owen's heart rate 🤣
I love those chaps, been a fan for a minute. Their reactions are priceless, glad to see you in the same vehicle.
Hell yeah, love the VW classics! Stock pads & old (DOT 4 or even 3) fluid overheat was predictable; and motor overheat (due to turbocharging) as well; but until that it handled itself pretty well. We must of course also realize that this is no dedicated track build.
I just love seeing the excitement and camaraderie between everyone. It was a true joy. Cheers.
my first car in 1985 💗, a nice black Golf 1 from 1981 😍,110hp 1600ccm ,nice video tanks 💪
An absolute GEM of a video. The mirror adjustment bit had me spitting coffee out my nose.👊🏻🙏🏻
Misha you should bring him on every ride, hilarious!
We will bring some other stuff
That was great. It was so funny when you were having him adjust the mirror and he's freaking out the whole time. Good stuff.
These type of videos are the heart and soul of why I love this channel.
This was utter class!
Great Collab video and the golf really did well, it sounds fantastic!
Spectacular driving as always Misha. Impresses me so much how you can adapt so quickly to anything you get in.
True,he's an amazing driver real talent 💯
More Motor Addicts content he's always a fun to watch lol
Cheers buddy
This might be the most entertaining ring video on RUclips. Chapeau Misha!

EDIT: Also need good set of suspension & tires.
And turbocharged cars like this, upgraded intercoolers....I can only assume that drop off in power was intake heat soak.
I drove a Mk 1 (known as Rabbit GTI in the US) in 1978. It belonged to a high school friend, and it was a lot faster than anyone expected, so we won a lot of drag races. It was about as fun to drive as any car I had driven up to that time. Easy to drive fast.
The way Misha just adapts to driving any car at crazy speeds around a scary-ass track is truly amazing.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS HOT HATCH! Get the cooling touched up and bring it back! We want more. It's Awesome to see a Proud Dad for his car!
Amazing lad!! The faces, the noises, the swearing!! Very good video, very enjoyable to watch! Cheers Misha!
Germans make amazing cars, one lap of the Nürburgring and the odometer still shows the same Mileage... Amazing
The Ring is excluded from counting, since it is a private road.
YEEEES! The legend himself Owen with Misha! Bloody love this guys energy!😎
😬
@@MotorAddicts Think we should see a lap in the 280 next 🤣👀
The passenger was as entertaining as the driving 😂 Thanks for the lap!
That giddy laugh when rolling out just made the video for me, you can tell he was for real excited about this drive!
Temperature well managed and car was very good on fuel. Just shows how much weight makes the difference.
Cheers Misha👌👍
Love the Golf mk1, my first car. Mine had a 1.8 and weber dcoe, made about 100hp when it wasn't breaking down or rusting lol. Hope Motor Addicts can bring this GTI back to Misha with upgraded steering rack and cooling and brake pads. Great vid!

Love seeing an old Mk1 getting pushed through the corners of the Nurburgring! And the owner seems like a cool dude too.
Misha, thank you for making this video.
I love tiny over powered cars!
...and the "Einzer Golf" is an icon in itself...
Just awesome.
This was the first time I really understood how hard Misha really pushes these vehicles. Seeing a car that old stay at 5k+ the entire track for the most part is so impressive. Man is a true g on the ring!
The translation of "drive it like you stole it", that was str8 savage Misha, nice one 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
So happy to see the MA team at the Nurburgring! Amazing video Misha👍
Cheers Hristo
The collab we never knew we needed 💯
These 2 need more collaborations. Fun and great sports. Thank you.
Love see these cars still pushing hard around Nurburgring. Great video Misha 🤟

Fun to watch! Well done... loved the multiple views.
Love the MK1, love when the owner gets awakened to what his car can do.
Thank you for another video!!! I kept smiling through the entire lap, you had so much fun!
This video is hilarious. Honestly the funniest video that i've watched from you so far. Keep up the great work
Been watching your vids forever man. First time to comment and Misha, very impressive. Always love your cool calm approach to ragging the crap out of other peoples cars.
Thank you!
4:37 the official‘s reaction was pure gold ❤😂
It’s always the passengers/owners that make these videos great!
Owen is a real lovable character! Loved this video! Subbing to these guys too!
Thank you so much!
I love the motor addict guys, always up for a laugh. Great video all round
We love having a laugh
That was awesome to watch very entertaining! Please get this Golf back when they have done all the mods.

"We're driver's, we like to drive stuff."
Well said sir, kudos.
So great to see the fellas from my home County of Kent, what a surprise to see them at the Ring and paired up with Misha too. Always great content.
Haha I like this guy. As most of us I saw him on the channel from "Gassed". Nice video man 🥳
04:35 how he's holding his ears XD
We going international 😂
Gotta admire the seriousness and the humbleness from Misha.
That was epic!! Love to see motor addicts at your channel

"No ABS I forgot about that" - Misha 2k22
Love that reaction
This guy built an amazing machine and he doesn't even know it lol
Funniest lap reaction yet 😂
This was awesome.
Great driving!!
The passengers reactions had me laughing the whole time. All in fun of course.
this guy is top stuff. whenever misha compliments his car hes truly like "awwww thank you!" really likeable geeza
Great video to watch. Really funny. Chaps is worried about his car - I thought he need to worry more about himself. Excellent!
Thanks for the share of this exciting footage round the Ring.
My favorite video you have put out all the camera angles let you really understand what's going on. Awesome golf too.
You both vibe together so well.

Man, I've seen and loved alot of you videos.. But this one.. Hits different.. Your driving skills blow the roof. Well done ❤️

Such fun! What a great car and passenger reactions. Just awesome
didn't expect this combo!
this lap was soooo F'ing funny!!! The moment you asked him to adjust mirrors in hatzenbachbogen i laughed sooo hard hahaha. Amazing lap great guys :)
This is the most hilarious video i've seen on your channel I love the banter on the lap absolutely massive 🤣
That Video was hilarious! - Super fun to watch. Just great!
One of the most entertaining passengers this year for sure!
8:00 how much horsepower do these Rent4ring 1er have (thought these are 125i with like 220hp) ?? Misha in an 260hp lightweight car full accelerating and this thing pulls away like crazy 🤔
Maybe the 125i is tuned
Our car was losing power due to heatsoak, I guess that is something for starters.
Probably an auto too
