My apologies Misha 🙈 It was me driving that S-Max and 100% my mistake that I didn’t turn off the indicator after the first Golf had passed. We were 5 people in the car and we all talked about how lucky we were, that the guy in Golf no. 2 could drive Now we know why. Amazing reaction - and surprising speed. I have always emphasised to the people that I give a go in my cars on the ring to pay attention to your mirrors all the time, because it can so easily go wrong.

Now I know it was you, so I hereby apologise and thank you for saving the moment 💪🏻🏁
Great, that you comment about it and apologise! This has to be pinned. I was thinking immediately that you are probably not just stupid, but especially at this part of the track and at those speeds, you simply could be overwhelmed and forgot to turn off the indicator.
@@friedensgabel 185/190 diesel, 240 petrol the petrol is the same as the MK3 Focus ST (R9Dx engine, based on mazda L block). I have a MK3 Focus ST-3 with 300+ BHP sat in my lockup. Quaife LSD to go on later this year and an oil cooler too
The highest it got was 113C (235F), which is just a few degrees higher than the normal operating range of most modern street cars. 205F - 230F is the typical thermostat range today, 235F at the track is barely anything.
@@gpaje it's not alarming or anything, but for a track car it would be better if the cooling system could keep the engine between 90-100°C even in the summer. This car has an oil cooler, but still got up to >130°C. The best oil cooler doesn't help if the engine block is at 113°C.
Watching you is a great example of how left foot is perfect to weight transfer and balance the car between curves or in the middle of when you need to.
5:45 I believe he indicated for the white golf infront of you and didn't turn off the indicator. Surprise, there is another white golf - but yeah, that was close.
This is why the fantasy of driving the ring or on PS4 would trump reality for me. I'd be too slow, too scared and too much of a danger on track to enjoy myself
@@pigeonpoo1823 Just stay on the right, indicating right for the first couple of laps till you're confident to pick up the pace. I think everyone spends their first laps on the Ring watching the mirrors more than whats happening in front 😂
Epic save. That speaks experience, composure, and depth of knowledge. You accurately predicted his driving line was off, despite the indicator and hit your brakes. Made minor corrections and avoided an accident. Most intermediate to novice drivers would've crashed. Great job Misha.
That Golf was a proper rocket! I watch all your videos but I seldom comment on them. This time I had to make an exception, because I really liked that car and that run. The sound, the handling and the quick reaction when that S-Max suddenly turned in on you. You get an A+, Misha. Keep 'em coming. 🙂
I also rarely comment but was about to say the same before reading yours, I strongly dislike golfs because I think 60k for a hatchback is insane, but this is truly an amazing looking and performing car.
It's possible the driver didn't realize they had left the turn signal on from a previous car? I know that's one of the reasons the club I usually do track days with do not like turn signals for passes, it's easy to end up leaving them on (rather than using the 3-blink mode) or if there's multiple cars waiting to pass you can't tell how many people they are trying to let through. I'm glad that it seems like there wasn't any damage, that looked like an impressively quick Golf.
I am getting the impression the Ford S-Max had indicated for the white car (ahead of you) to overtake and then did not check properly his mirrors and forgot the indicator on in the heat of the moment..anyway glad it all went well, fast reactions were crucial.
Two car guys in a Golf. I really enjoyed the video and reaction you did as a driver Misha. Lots to learn from you. I also have to say that car owner's reaction is also legendary! Be safe and have fun guys!
Nice driving, but don't forget: Just because you're in a fast car and wearing a helmet it doesn't mean that you're on a trackday. It's Touristenfahrten, so you have no claim to use the racing line, no marshall will show a blue flag and you have to follow german road traffic regulations, because it's a public road with a recommended speed of 130 km/h. Therefore, in theory it is just allowed to go faster than 130 km/h and to overtake when it is safe to do so. I've been on the ring often enough and I know that you easily forgt about this when you're behind the wheel, but in fact, you're on a public road, not on a trackday and so you can't expect everyone to be a professional driver.
Misha. I stumbled upon your channel a few days ago. I have to say after watching many of your vids. You are an amazing driver in general and especially on the Ring. I wish I had the ability to bring my vehicle there and have you drive it. Also because you have probably never driven a MK5 NA 2.5 I5 VW Rabbit. They never released my engine in that side of the world from what I know. It would be a blast if it was possible. But, I can keep dreaming and you can keep driving. Thank you for the content Carmrade.
man. what a mega lap. incredible. Def seemed like it could use a bit more tyre but wow. Just wow. Lovely track knowledge and commitment. This is probably my fav lap of the last 50 or so. wow.
thing is - they just don't understand - the track environment. Probably sits watching F1 on a Sunday shouting at the screen - then when he's out on a track he's totally out of his depth..
It's not a message in the bottle but a message on the speedo 📣sending out an SOS.😁It's starting to heat up very strongly, especially the ""water"".more 110⁰c.sound very well 🎉
This looks to be a very consistent build. No drama just 10-20kmh higher corner speeds than those track warriors we see lately. Finally again a track car where money went into the right places.
the guy probably had forgotten his flasher was turned on... happens all the time on the road around here (you can spot them if seen with the flasher for long enough without matching behavior)
I feel like i've seen more "near" crashes with all these youtubers and stuff getting you to drive their cars, good thing you're a great driver :D Stay safe :)
Did anyone else notice the white Golf(I think it was a Golf but not sure) In the back view? You got ahead at 7:08 but then he shadowed you pretty much till the end...
It would be nice to leave the temperature indicators till the end of the video to see how well the car can recover after the lap. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to see that.
5:45 Seeing how long the indicator was to the right, I would assume that the driver has accidentally left the indicator on has already forgotten about it. You should never trust other drivers to do the sane thing when anybody can enter the track.
Heres another one dedicated to Luke @hampshirephoto.... this is how you build a car. No need for an ironing board under the bumper... more need for actual proper upgrades
Hey Misha, a video or a reel where you explain or just give some Tipps how to get used to left foot braking would be cool. I started for few days to practice but when I feel like it works there is this moment where shhhit works 😂. Cheers from Frankfurt
Running a bit hot despite the extra cooling elements. Did he replace the oil cooler? DSG cooler is also a must on the track. Great save Misha and props to the owner of that S-Max to come clean here.
Everything could run a little cooler, sure, but it's safe as long as the car is allowed to cool down a bit after a lap (eg a cooldown slower pace lap or some driving around outside the ring). When it comes to the downshifts, i basically think the DSG software was just protecting the gearbox by preventing a downshift that would lead to overrev (at least for the situation at Brunchen, i can't find the other situation where Misha claims he could not downshift, maybe i missed it).
This comment is what the driver of the Smax said on the full video “My apologies Misha It was me driving that S-Max and 100% my mistake that I didn't turn off the indicator after the first Golf had passed.

Nice intro! Perfect driving! Apart from the minivan driver (he obviously forgot to unset his indicators), I noticed you also had to brake hard 2x behind a BMW quite in the middle. A lot going on ... I wonder what time was possible without traffic?
That other golf seemed to have a very similar wing and bonnet vent. I thought it happened to be another cs but people are saying mk7. Still quite the coincidence.
wow, i thought 130+°C oil temp is too much for a engine thats getting floored like that. mine never exeeds 125°C and came only close to it when driving slow in summer. but i would never floor it like misha did in the video xD (1.8 TSI, 141kW, 192HP, VW Polo GTI)
Just my personal feeling, it feels that the Touristenfahrten are not treated as Touristenfahrten anymore, but like a track day. Maybe it's just me, but is the exit of Fuchsröhre a standard point to overtake with such a speed difference? Yeah, the SMAX went too far to the middle, but I feel like in Touristenfahrten this is what everyone should expect: people who don't know the track perfectly, maybe are struggling with the line and too focused to drive the car. Not what it should be like, but realistically this is to be expected. I mean no criticism whatsover, just an observation.
Misha Handled it Perfectly, if it wasn't his experience Definitely there was going to be an Accident. Never Trust a Minivan coming out of a Mall Parking Lot and Worse on a Race Track
Danish plates? We see this kind of stupidity every day at the A7 between Hamburg and Flensburg. They are just overwhelmed with any speeds over 130 km/h…

After the minivan event, I think Misha didn’t push. There was another racing line hog 😂 Still great to watch the master at work! And shoutout to the owner for not making a deal of the incident!
I can't believe they let just anyone on that road. Some drivers really shouldn't be turned loose on their own on the ring without at least some training or passing a test or something.

yep, pin it. respect for taking ownership!
I'm honestly surprised Misha didn't hold back, because the indicator was on at the previous corner and was potentially (if not likely) a mistake.
Bro if you are gonna do a lap on the nurburgring with a minivan with 5 people inside, just stay on the right at all times
Love seeing the golf behind you trying its best!

Needs a radiator upgrade, coolant getting quite hot and that affects oil as well.

apart from ma n pa kettle wandering around that was awesome Misha. damn that was a nasty moment, head shaking.
Mischa didn't seem to have 'the' smile in this car. I think he required another EP3 which always puts a smile on his face.

That is why I never trust any indicating car closing in to junctions. Chances are low but never zero that people just forgot to turn indicator off....
With the way the steering wheel moves under braking, you'd think the front has way too much caster going on for the width of those tires..
