this was much more entertaining than I though (despite the scary but serious driving) ... brakes like a roadcar (well that's the concept of this car :D it even has the 8th gear for fuel consumption, it's just disabled) ... "my first racing lap, but also my first complete lap" ... "I didn't want to overtake them, really!"
It is even in dry conditions. Nordschleife has much more grip. The other way around, GP kills tyres much more. So less grip, but higher tyre consumption at the GP track
That was intense! Man , you are living the dream! Even though the Nordschleife is a hard as nails track and wants to kill you at almost every turn. It must've been amazing to race around there. Well done on not looping it in your 3:45 hour session
Priceless thanks for sharing your experience ..This combo looks bloody terrifying , perversely fun maybe ?would be amazing to have seen your heart rate... i Love your style David you’re the most grounded racing driver out there, just love ,your complete lack of ego ,that kind of humility is rare and a breathe of fresh air , other proper drivers might place themselves on another level but you’re more than happy to place yourselves with us mere mortals despite your mega talent, very nice 👍
In the rain on the Nordschleife in a snappy car with a misted windshield... This is terrifying David. Glad you lived to show us that clip! ;-) Good luck this weekend - the weather forecast predicts rain once again.
Again a fascinating insight into what a driver is thinking and feeling in a race from a real down to earth guy. Keep them coming David! Love the windscreen banner!
Ja, bitte bitte. Please post more onboard videos with commentary like in this car. I love the green hell but have never been there. It is absolutely amazing to have you sharing actual racing experience. Hope you get your A permit very soon.
Actually I think that that’s exactly the kind of racing sim we need . A game they you will be looking for sponsors , trying to pass all those tests to get all those permits etc. As far as I know there is no such game out there .
Nice driving David! Showing great experience in the wet weather. Hope next time you get perfect racing conditions. Can't wait to come see you race at Kyalami at the end of the year.
Your videos are 2nd to none.. Exceptional commentary. I truly enjoy your way of explaining your every move and why and recognizing when you are in the wrong. I wish you great success!!!!
Just wacthing, it's hard to believe that is a "feeler" lap with all the passing and overtaking going on! Yeah, the 235i Racing is such a short wheelbase car, trailbraking is almost impossible without some adverse effects to stability.
Awesome video man, anyone who has the balls to compete around the Green Hell deserves respect. I've only ever driven it on tourist days but no simulator gets close the circuit in real life. In reality, it's terrifying.
Enjoyed watching this :). I was in the same race. Fun and dangerous. My opinion is that the GP track normally are less slippery than the Nordschleife in the wet. This spring GP has been very slippery for some reason. All the new tarmac on NS makes it easier to drive in the wet (for now).
Yea the new asphalt on the North Course has producing a lot of grip. Similar to what I experienced when Paul Ricard was resurfaced. But eventually that grip goes away as more and more rubber is laid down.
Have been lucky enough to be a passenger in an M240i Racing on slicks driven by a former British Touring Car Champion. Mind bending grip! Can't imagine what it was like in the wet on the ring though, that must take some doing.
You were hitting wet rubbered patches and thats why you were getting snap oversteer/understeer moments, it is called viscous hydroplaning. Interestign that in the wet there is less grip in the GP part, must be because of smoother tarmac.
On the Nordschleife in some cases it’s not possible to go off the traditional racing line. However I drove another 240i a few weeks later and it was much less snappy. So I think the setup of this particular car was just very bad.
Nice one david, @9:44 I've always thought that's the scariest part of the track ever since started driving it in gt. Certain cars misbehave really badly there no matter what you do to the suspension tuning and require you to carry a defibrillator lol
David thank you for these awesome videos you post - your commentary is really great because you give us so much more information about the experience and track conditions! And what a great first lap despite the conditions - your driving ability truly shows!
Iv done a shit load of karting in the wet on slicks and what I learned from that is avoid the racing line (or high rubbered areas) as much as you can, always accelerate and brake in a straight line no trail braking especially if you are on the racing line. Imagine a long right-hander with a short braking zone I would stay far left on the line braking gently-ish but late! and go past the normal turning point so you end up off the line to the left then either do a 90 deg turn right across the racing line or continue around the outside. You did awesome as per usual!!
Yea in Karting it’s much more clear that you stay off the racing line. But what I have found since moving to cars is that it’s not always so clear if that is the right method. Also at the Nordschleife there are huge sections of track where you have no choice but to be on the regular racing line in wet conditions. So it makes it quite scary 😂
@@DavidPerel Yer I can imagine its real scary. I guess also because its such a long lap every corner is like doing it for the first time as it could have more water.
I'm so thankfull for these video's! They give us such a high level of insight into how it really is to race around all these tracks. This video is so good due the harsh conditions! Also really loved the Spa-Francorchamps video as a belgian, so thanks for that. Really only makes me appreciate racing so much more then I allready did! Being so close to the public is what is often missing for me atleast when it comes to attempting to follow racing and drivers. Instant big fan of your channel and what you try to give to us
I drive there several laps in normal cars, without helmet, tourist driving, sunny warm dry weather and that was already scary let alone in the wet with a car that behaves a bit unexpectedly. I'm glad you didn't crash because you had all the odds stacked against you. I've seen plenty of crashes there, some light touches to complete lanches and up to a dozen of rolls. And those were experienced drivers as well. I'd suggest to play it safe on the NBR, for your wallet and your health :)
Great video this is really enjoyable content to watch. I'm not really a race fan but like motorsports and can see myself losing many hours watching your videos.
I always thought doing this would be a dream come true... probably a nightmare - yikes scary and thats just watching...probably need to throw up after a couple of laps of that too... - brilliant vid though Coach Dave :)
Nice video David, I was following your racing at Silverstone the other weekend too :) Looks a bit slippier here! I guess the GP circuit sees much more slick running than the Nordschleife, that'll be why it's so much more slippery in the damp/wet conditions.
@@DavidPerelMaybe they just had the tyre wear multiplier cranked up for the GP circuit :P Thanks for the reply mate, and good luck with your racing this year.
Awesome dude! I have a BMW 235i and it's a fantastic car, so the race trim must have been sublime even in those conditions. How did you bag the opportunity to do this? Really great driving.
Hey James, I got this opportunity through the team I race for in Blancpain, Rinaldi Racing. They’ve been pushing me to get my permit since I joined them.
@@DavidPerel Fantastic. You're in Blancpain? I hate you. I don't, I actually love it. My dream! Hence the sim racing is my only way to get into that stuff. So I hope you make the absolute most out of it! But yeah, I hate you.
"There's the car trying to kill me"😂👌🏻
Good that in GT sport front glass is always clean!
a 5th place in the first race in a car never driven before (no breaks too), amazing!
“Just to turn the game difficulty up it’s raining”
Conditions look brutal! Some awesome experience and looked like a great race. Hope you achieved your A Permit.
this was much more entertaining than I though (despite the scary but serious driving)
... brakes like a roadcar (well that's the concept of this car :D it even has the 8th gear for fuel consumption, it's just disabled)
... "my first racing lap, but also my first complete lap"

Glad you enjoyed it Kev!
Like you're playing GRID career progression, but in real life. Living the dream! Best wishes!
That grip loss in the gp track... I always notice that in Assetto Corsa, I didn't know that was real!
You mean in every sim
Me too
It is even in dry conditions. Nordschleife has much more grip. The other way around, GP kills tyres much more. So less grip, but higher tyre consumption at the GP track
Man this videos are amazing the insight, this is what it isn’t told about racing, how it feels.
Baptism by fire..or rain in this case.Bloody Brilliant.Thanks fir sharing with us.
Be blessed and good luck for the second stint
Thanks mate
That was intense! Man , you are living the dream! Even though the Nordschleife is a hard as nails track and wants to kill you at almost every turn. It must've been amazing to race around there. Well done on not looping it in your 3:45 hour session
I came close to binning it quite a few times to mate 😂
Ah that explains a lot if you find the GP circuit to be less grippy. I always felt that way in GT Sport too.
Priceless thanks for sharing your experience ..This combo looks bloody terrifying , perversely fun maybe ?would be amazing to have seen your heart rate... i Love your style David you’re the most grounded racing driver out there, just love ,your complete lack of ego ,that kind of humility is rare and a breathe of fresh air , other proper drivers might place themselves on another level but you’re more than happy to place yourselves with us mere mortals despite your mega talent, very nice 👍

Thunderstorms are forecast 😭

More soon mate!
9:01 this is where you see on youtube XD
Well done David, the 'Schleiffe in the rain, definitely the Green Hell, good on you for keeping it on the black stuff.
Cheers Shaun, thanks for watching mate
david these videos are amazing, super fun! i could watch you race and listen to you talk about it for hours. thank you for uploading these!
Loved every minute of it keep up the good work , unfortunate we didnt see porce footage :/
A full hour of my stint will be uploaded for Patreon members :)
Damn cool vid
Ja, bitte bitte. Please post more onboard videos with commentary like in this car. I love the green hell but have never been there. It is absolutely amazing to have you sharing actual racing experience. Hope you get your A permit very soon.
Will do mate, more onboard commentary to come 👊
Dave, your videos are fucking amazing!!!
Being a new sim racing enthusiast, I couldn't sub to this channel fast enough!! Love the content, so interesting!
Actually I think that that’s exactly the kind of racing sim we need . A game they you will be looking for sponsors , trying to pass all those tests to get all those permits etc. As far as I know there is no such game out there .

These onboard story videos are the best Motorsports videos on you tube! Thanks for sharing your experiences so honestly and so cleverly!
Glad you enjoyed it mate, thank you
Nice driving David! Showing great experience in the wet weather. Hope next time you get perfect racing conditions.
Can't wait to come see you race at Kyalami at the end of the year.
Can’t wait either Manthe. Counting the days till Kyalami!
Good job keeping it on the track in those conditions
Thanks Rodney
I've never seen a lap around both the GP and Nordschleife outside of video games. Awesome video.
Cheers mate thank you
My god that's scary, porche is so well composed 👌
Your videos are 2nd to none.. Exceptional commentary. I truly enjoy your way of explaining your every move and why and recognizing when you are in

Amen to that, the sim definitely helps to memorise the corners and the flow but nothing can prepare you for the gradients, bumps etc.
Love the coverage David and commentary from your perspective as a growing professional! Keep it up!

👍
proves that dedication brings you to the next level
pfff im genuinely impressed. you sound like a knowledgable and cool guy, i hope you get far in racing
Too kind! Thank you 🙏
Haha the cars trying to kill me.....hopefully the weather will be better for you at the weekend, Wish GT Sport had dymanic weather. Great work David.

i didnt even know you needed a special permit to drive around the 'green hell', you learn something new everyday, keep it up david, good luck!
I don’t think there’s another track on earth which requires one 😩
Nice one david, @9:44 I've always thought that's the scariest part of the track ever since started driving it in gt. Certain cars misbehave really badly there no matter what you do to the suspension tuning and require you to carry a defibrillator lol
Thx for bringing us on your awesome journey:) Love it!
No problem Nick, thanks for watching

Really glad you enjoyed it mate!
Great drive and superb commentary.
mate you got balls of steel, ' got no idea what im doing' in them conditions lol
😂 more likely I’m just stupid
haha! epic stuff it really is David, cant wait to see the next laps, hopefully better weather as well!
6 hours! Bloody hell I can’t even do a lap on a game without loosing my concentration. Nice one man
It's definitely easier to concentrate when you feel like you're one corner away from certain death 😂
Very good
Wow, that is crazy! Congrats for making it till the end in an excellent position and without crashing! All the best for the next race!
Thanks mate
Good luck Boet, wish you all the best! 🙌
Thanks Mongezi!
@@DavidPerel would you believe me of I told you I'm watching all your uploads one after the other🤜🤛😎

I would watch the whole race, great stuff David.
One hour of onboard will be posted for my Patreon member 😬
Nice dude, hope you get that A licence.
Great video and cant wait for the next one💪👊
Cheers mate, I really hope all goes well this weekend too! See you on GT Sport 👊

I just discovered your channel. Fantastic , for me one of the most interesting. Interesting perspectives !!!! Keep em coming
Thank you!
AGAIN. WOW. This is really amazing stuff
incredible amazing work sir
Great video this is really enjoyable content to watch. I'm not really a race fan but like motorsports and can see myself losing many hours watching your videos.
That’s high praise Cosmo, thank you
If it makes you feel better, Martin Brundle doesnt have his ring permit yet ....
Nice vid though, some decent passes there
Haha yea, he actually sat next to me in the Drivers Briefing, I was totally star struck
@@DavidPerel im sure he was too!
Actually Martin has.... Since I shared car with him
nice driving man! love your videos! :)
Great video, as always! and you already pronounce 'karussell' like a proper german, hats off! ;-)
I always thought doing this would be a dream come true... probably a nightmare - yikes scary and thats just watching...probably need to throw up after a couple of laps of that too... - brilliant vid though Coach Dave :)
Thanks for the video and all the best for the A class
Thanks Rob
More please!
Always great content David. 👍🙌
Thanks mate
You kicked ass on the lap regardless of the snappy overstreet guy. Track has a lot of differences as to GT. Keep it up.
Thanks Edwin
Wet Green Hell! Congrats on surviving ;)
Man that looks scary!
Well done David!
Thanks NJ!
Thats mental conditions good luck for the next session
Congrats man, big up to ya
Cheers Olly
Well done!
Well done.
Well done 👍 and GL for future races. Recent subscriber but enjoying your videos a lot.
Thank you Matt 🙏
Nice video David, I was following your racing at Silverstone the other weekend too :) Looks a bit slippier here!
I guess the GP circuit sees much more slick running than the Nordschleife, that'll be why it's so much more slippery in the damp/wet conditions.
Yea I think it's a combo of rubber and the type of asphalt they use for the GP track. Even in the dry it was difficult to hang onto the car mate.
@@DavidPerelMaybe they just had the tyre wear multiplier cranked up for the GP circuit :P
Thanks for the reply mate, and good luck with your racing this year.
Hahaha yea maybe mate 😂
End of lap 1 : "At this moment I was ready to box and retire from motorsport"
Permanent code brown
Loving the 'woopsie's' , hoping the are less and less as the weather gets better and you get to your goal. 🤞👍✊
Hopefully less surprises the weekend as well. Thanks for watching Jonny 👌
Must be horrible to drive a car you dont fully know, on the ring in those conditions. Hats off to your sir.
Thanks Tom!
Great Video, good luck in the next race!
Thanks mate
That was amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Please more David !!! so interesting, thanks for sharing with us! :)
Thanks for watching Janis!
That looked hectic. Great job!
Great video. As usual. 4 hour stint sounds tough.
Glad you enjoyed it Tom 👊
Good luck with the permit mate
