Oh man that M3 sounds SO good, I'm surprised it's stock intake/exhaust with just a test pipe! I guess because interior sound reduction is probably gone.
The DC5’s suspension/tires are superbly dialed in. Despite being fwd, if you notice, it turns in so much that the driver is constantly making corrections to keep it from over steering at times. I didn’t see a single understeer, impressive!
exactly! Saw that on 7:57 minutes when he dives into the second corner he corrects the wheel, because the car bites so hard into the inner side of the corner. Impressive!
I've noticed that DC5 could go faster even when it was round 1. But BMW didn't let Integra get so furious as it could. The second lap showed us the true driver's skills and Honda's power. Thanks for this video. Such videos make me think more about getting deep in autosport. With love from Russia!
@@King-Gilamashur2758 I for one think their power is ok and depends on the weight they pull+gearing. Stockengne might be even more than enough on a 1 ton car.
im not sure about rewarding as much as challenging. he seems to be doing a lot more corrections due to it being FWD. so probably a lot less power but with all the concentration it takes to keep it on par it doesn’t feel like it.
@@niallcorcoran4437 Isnt it the corrections and having to be good at what you do that makes it rewarding? GUy obviously has great control over the car and it just looks like a ton of fun.. Being a Dc5 Owner though with a K24 making 250whp, they are a BLAST to drive. DC5's are notoriously tough though when it comes to dialing in their suspension. Especially with aftermarket coilovers and sways. But once you get it right, its an amazing handling car.
@@JonHop1 yes that’s what i mean lol. i don’t mean that it seems more challenging to drive in a bad way at all. with the 200-250hp they’re capable of im positive its nothing short of fun. have a few friends who also complain of how nearly impossible they are to align.
Great video Dan! Awesome shots, simple editing and great driving. Always a pleasure to watch your ring adventures. The M3 seems to be set up nicely. And boy oh boy does that Teggy move!
That's some dam good driving, great video. FF vs FR two totally different cars but well matched. That DC5 planted and fast AF, thumbs up to the drive. Danny got gaped
Hey Danny.🖐 Getting ready to take a day trip with the family to the mountains this morning and now I'm pretty hyped up for the drive. They're not going to like it. GO!!🙌 10 of 10 on the editing! Awesome driving from you and Kev. I love to see capable cars like these in the rights hands. Very intense battle as expected.🔥 As an unexpected bonus, I know the song that's going to be playing in my head for the rest of the day.😊 Cheers Dan. Have a good day, bud.
@@chavezunseen Yeah, but the RSX definitely grinded on that shift haha It happens, but that’s why you change your gear oil more frequently when you drive aggressively or track your car.
That van pic 😂😂😂. Loved the video gentleman it was a great experience watching you guys run that track. That sound of that Type R is like no other ❤️❤️❤️. Thank You for sharing 😁😁😁
Even if it was a loss it was a win for your viewers, great video as always Danny. The DC5 looked a bit more composed than the M (you also looked to be taking less risks - can't blame you there). Excellent driving from both pilots.
@@wigan8079 The only thing that was frenetic about the DC5 was the driver's style as he was pushing the car harder. The DC5 looks more planted and compliant to me. The M has a lot of vertical movement in the suspension suggesting it's perhaps on the soft side. To be clear, I'm not hating. I own an M, the DC5 looks more stable.
Brilliant video! You have always been a good driver but I think you are even faster and smoother than before, very cool to watch. I was also very impressed with how fast that K24* (Checks spec in comments... wtf K20?) Integra went. I saw Kev's vid of him doing a 7:53 in that thing, which is incredible quick for N/A 2 Litre!
Kevs driving has come a long with the last year. He's pedaling the shit out of that thing! Can see he's at one with it. Editing gold Danny with the in car screen music performance. Loved it 😂 I've not been fussed with the dc2 being out of action for so long becuase the contents so good but seeing kev pedal the dc5 like that makes me miss it. Dc2 ft nurburgring 2021 maybe plz? :)
@@80PercentAshamedOfU oh don't get me wrong, I love the sound of the m5x engine gens, even the s50 and 52 sound really good... the s54 on the otherhand sounds absolutely tinny and just overall awful. Totally hate the engine sound stock but love the car otherwise. Just gives off the vibe of "badly engineered".
Wish this was a vlog style vid like before, build up, talking between laps, cutting between racing scenes etc. Love your vids but love the involvement of the Nurburgring vlog races 😁
Always enjoy seeing you on track Dan, & Kev pushing the Teg made for a very entertaining 20 minutes... I wish I could execute big toe / little toe even half as well 😭😂👍🏻
Awesome video! Great performance from both cars and their drivers! It feels like the M3 wasnt bringing out the max potential. The driver went safer compared to dc5 guy who went max push(insane). Either way awesome fight and cant wait for similar future videos guys!
Cars are savage bro, and looks like they're put to the limits ✊🏼 Just don't know how you guys can get over there with the lockdown and all. But overall an awesome raw vid
Nice to see Walter White taking the kids out for a bit of TF in the minibus. Great content as usual Danny, gutted my ring trip got cancelled this year.
Another fantastic vid. Sorry but the DC5 is the better sounding plus looks to have the edge on drivability. You were both properly on it though, I wish I was that quick around the ring but still don’t know it well enough.
The dc5 is beautiful around the corners, although the M3 caught up slowly on the straights as soon as the corners came the dc5 just flew away. Beautiful driving my friend
The question is : DC2 or DC5 for someone who already has an FN2 and is thinking of buying an Integra Type R in the future? Also..is the 2004-2006 facelifted DC5 really better sorted from the factory than the non facelift one(I mean suspension,bushings etc)? I see these Integras are expensive as hell now to import(about £14-£16k OTR),about as much as an FD2(especiall the DC2). Is it worth it to save more and go for a Porsche Cayman S 320 hp (DFI) 2009+ model with facelift instead? Any recommendations from more experienced people?
Was the m3 running traction on or off? Looks like it’s off from the dash light but at certain points from the dc5 cam looks like the traction is kicking in.
Nice battle between the 2 cars.. you guys are having so much fun.... lucky people :D the BMW driver looks so much more relaxed. Type r driver looks anxious lol
@@Itr-tv7kt I am generally smoother on 'proper' circuits, but on the 'ring the car moves around a lot, I find it better to 'let' it move. There are plenty of fast drivers that aren't Jenson Button smooth. :)
I will be uploading that later in the week. I like to make little stories out of the videos so be prepared to hear me chat some bollocks before seeing that move down the inside :D

@@realMaverickBuckley remove interior, lightweight wheels, remove some accessories (GPS/TV tuner), 1x fibreglass drivers seat on solid rail, nothing drastic.
Great, I was wondering about the specs of both cars. Nice driving!
Oh man that M3 sounds SO good, I'm surprised it's stock intake/exhaust with just a test pipe! I guess because interior sound reduction is probably gone.
That DC5 with Kevin driving always impresses me. Always on the limit and rarely over it. Certainly made Dan work a bit harder to keep up 👍🏼
My personal pace car
About time Dan was challenged that's for sure! Awesome throughly enjoying the content 👌🏿
sounded fantastic too
Crikey that Teg is planted. Loved it all.
I was in the Porsche at 16:35 😂 You guys flew past!
Thanks for being as observant and courteous as you were. :)
Damn! That DC5 is on rails, the corner speed exit is just crazy !!!😱👏
Oh yes. Two great cars being thrashed around the ring. What more could you ask for?
Only onboard stats speed, revs, gforce i.e. Harry lap timer :)
STOP2NWO thats what a phones for m9 ;)
That's nice to see a manual E46 M3, driven and geared properly on the ring.
Two incredible N/A motors together at the ring what more can a man ask for 👌
12:25 that Integra is on rails, so smooth on the corners
That DC5 stepped it up in the last sector of the second battle. Great video.

@Endoe ONE uve meant simulator I guess. Hell nah man! I am need for real speed and pure adrenaline.
That DC5 is insane!!!! Handles like its on rails!!! Was on the edge of my seat the entire time...! Awesome vid...!
Thanks :)
DC5 looks like the more rewarding driving experience, but the driver seems pretty fast
K20s are very rewarding. Maybe a bit low on power without forced induction but very fun.

Haha cheers Mick! Have a good one
3:30 gear grind?
The BMW though, had a super raspy exhaust that almost sounded like gear grinds on quick downshifts.
I think it’s just straight piped from the headers back that’s why it’s so loud and gives the raspy sound your hearing.
@@chavezunseen Yeah, but the RSX definitely grinded on that shift haha

I love the note of an m3 but that Honda sounds awesome. It’s like the sound in the touring cars ! Great driving guys

Absolutely love it!! These 2 total different cars attacking nurb like crazy is awesome 👌 😎 tks for that crazy vid🙏
Such brilliant editing, both cars look and running mint 👌🏻.....fwd can be driven so much harder with less fear of reprise IMO. Great video Dan👍🏼
Without doubt the fwd is easier to hustle, especially on the section towards the end of the lap where Dan's watching TV.
Absolutely stellar driving from both drivers, well done.👍😀
Brilliant editing, the Hall and Oates was perfect
Rapid!!!, bloody hell the m3 could not keep up. Amazing that Honda😳, shocked if I’m honest.

Both cars amazing,both drivers amazing and that all on Nürburgring ❤ Pleasure to watch !
This is lowkey one of the best car vids on youtube for true car enthusiasts
Jeeeeez that DC5 was all over you in the corners Dan, impressed with how planted that thing is in the corners.
Ring videos always deserve a thumbs up
AR1 vs Cup 2 😁
This was by far the best racing video ive seen 🔥🔥🔥 content
I'm jealous of both of you. that Honda sure sounds good.

Man that dc5 was rapid :o
9:15 hahaha epic video, sick racing from all!
Incredible driving by the DC5! Would love to do this trip one day.
At least in the sound department the Type R is a huge win lol
Yeah, I actually own an e46 m3. No matter what exhaust you put on... they always sound horrid

We went on the train, so didn't mix with anyone. We drove straight through France and Belgium.
Great battle, great content
Thanks Dan and Kevin!
Give us feedback on the M3 upgrades
Awsome video and great editing 👍
That was quality, well done. Be great to see them both on the same tyres
Good driving gents. I was there on the Monday and couldn’t believe how little grip there was. Didn’t seem to stop you two though😀.
First time in the wet for me, was amazed by how little grip there was!
If I could smash the like button 10000s time I would. Awesome drive guys. Definitely worth the watch. Are we going to get the s2k Vs M3 next? 🤣🤣
Im torn between E46 M3 or E92 M3 track toy....
How much work has been done to the DC5?! M3 should be walking away on the uphill straight but it isn't
there are some specs in the pinned post. I do pull him in over 120mph. I will be uploading some more videos soon where you can see this
Corner exit speed is higher on the dc5 and it weighs less. As Dan says, the M3 pulls on it at higher speeds due to the higher power.
Watching the integra hit those turns at 12:24 is very satisfying
It felt pretty good at the time. :)
@@kevtalbot137 thing is planted. Makes more excited to get my sedan grounded
I was expecting gran turismo 2 prize music at the end when i heard the drum roll
“GO” **LIKE**
The type R is so well dampened and seems really well sorted. The M3 seems a lot more bouncy. Great driving 👍
I've been waiting for this!!
Well Nurburgring videos since my trip got cancelled this year lmao
Yehh boiiii,. Nice upload Dan 👍
Nice driving Dan. I bet the other blokes arms were tired from wrestling that wheel... Lol.
Wow I didn't even notice at until you mentioned it, but the type R was definitely having to fight to manage the steering wheel compared to that M3.
Always a joy to listen to a K20A.
Good to see you enjoying the m3 and getting some seat time in all you need now is the dc2 ready and then you will be spoiled for choice 👍🏻
Awesome lads, very well matched
never understood.. why the cone chicane right at the beginning?? is there some epic pothole there they wont fix or something??
Both cars sound absolutely epic!
Nice to see Walter White taking the kids out for a bit of TF in the minibus. Great content as usual Danny, gutted my ring trip got cancelled this year.
Just look at the drama and experience between the two cars :P
M3 Hall & Oates ?
That best motoring intro 👌🏻
Really enjoyed this - please re-upload as a "split screen" take so we can see both whips simultaneously.
Another fantastic vid. Sorry but the DC5 is the better sounding plus looks to have the edge on drivability. You were both properly on it though, I wish I was that quick around the ring but still don’t know it well enough.
the Integra is like playing a video game and give a shit on physics! It looks so good and fun!
I did a genuine LOL at that she’s gone bit. Funny as fuck.
Love these type of vids 👍🏼👍🏼
Thoughts after this trip? Any changes to the M3 in mind?
The pace the DC5 can keep is really up there, the driving is flawless.
I would like to have the same tyres and go again 🤣 always come back with a list from Nür but got enough winter plans
Why do bmw straight sixes sound like this? Is it just the exhaust that causes this or engine design?
The dc5 is beautiful around the corners, although the M3 caught up slowly on the straights as soon as the corners came the dc5 just flew away. Beautiful driving my friend
The dc5 seems to be more prepared, more lightened. It even doesn't have a rear mirror
The question is : DC2 or DC5 for someone who already has an FN2 and is thinking of buying an Integra Type R in the future?
Also..is the 2004-2006 facelifted DC5 really better sorted from the factory than the non facelift one(I mean suspension,bushings etc)?
I see these Integras are expensive as hell now to import(about £14-£16k OTR),about as much as an FD2(especiall the DC2). Is it worth it to save more and go for a Porsche Cayman S 320 hp (DFI) 2009+ model with facelift instead? Any recommendations from more experienced people?
Was the m3 running traction on or off? Looks like it’s off from the dash light but at certain points from the dc5 cam looks like the traction is kicking in.
off always due to steering rack changes
out of interest when does it look like traction kicks in?
Awesome video!
Mega video Dan!
Nice battle between the 2 cars.. you guys are having so much fun.... lucky people :D
the BMW driver looks so much more relaxed. Type r driver looks anxious lol
Not anxious, I just enjoy hustling the car. I tend to use a lot of steering wheel input to manipulate the car.
@@kevtalbot137 im not expert but you should try being as smooth as possible see if that improves your lap time
@@Itr-tv7kt I am generally smoother on 'proper' circuits, but on the 'ring the car moves around a lot, I find it better to 'let' it move. There are plenty of fast drivers that aren't Jenson Button smooth. :)

Time to get the DC2 prepped
What a lovely Sunday drive!
Both great cars. I wonder what specs has the dc5? Stock wouldn't keep up with the M3.
Real question. Where can I find those A pillar tweeter mounts for the DC5?
No idea mate, they came with the car when I imported it.
Danny you should do a what's it like to drive on track video with the DC5.
It's too fast for him.
That looks fun. Any Oulton park in the pisssing rain footage? Or were you all steamed up?
