CARNAGE: Rain on a sunny day at the Nürburgring

- A sunny day descends into chaos when it rains just a 5km into the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Taking a friend of a friend along in a rental BMW125i from Rent4Ring. My plan is to build a table of my recommended rental cars from the best companies at the 'Ring
there is so much that can be learned out of this lap.
Huge thumbs up for that drive Dale. I can't help but admire the skill.
I wish I'd seen this video before going for a lap of the ring
in the rain
on a motorbike
with predictable results
Nice drive Dale. Impressed with the track knowledge and the car handling. Keep it up.
Please tell me the other guy name is Chip ^^

I think it's Brennan.
Oggy Oggy Nah, now it's Chip.
Steve Claeys playing grab turismo I know each turn coming up, never been there but these games too realistic nowadays
Leury Goncalves I know the track also by heart due to playing games while I never visited the track but Dale knows the track in detail. Every bump that unsetlles the car or every other track surface. There is so much info you can't get out of a game.
First time i have ever enjoyed an in-car lap of the ring, ever.
That was one of the most enjoyable laps of Nordschleife I have seen, thank you.
Eating Schnitzel and drinking Bier, always a good thing to do ;D
PFCKruger : that's why the english come here 😅
very nice driving. Especially in those passages where you have to take another lane when it's rainy. Keep it up!!!
I've always wanted to visit and take a few laps on the green hell.
madmax2069 no video can prepare you for the real thing it really is insanely cool to do in real life
The first time i came to nordschleife i was suprised that the flat section aren't flat ... The heigt difference are very impressive !
dont do it in your own car. I wrecked my 09 corvette on the flugaplatz. man was that one expensive roll over.
I just needed a channel For use on RUclips own fault then you gotta know your limits don't go fast until you know every corner on the tracj
dude, I wasn't going fast, 107mph up the hill and about 80mph at the crest before the right handers. the rear of my car came up from the ground and I hit the brakes to try to bring it down but it failed and I slid into the grass and hit the tires and spun it in just the right way for it to do a flip.
wonderful driving.
Does the Porsche that was following you crash at 6:00 you see lights in the rear view mirror which look as if they are coming around the corner and then it changes direction and the Porsche is never seen again.
Beautiful driving, intelligent driving, great observations
Did I hear this guy actually admit he was wrong, once?
Nice to watch someone so skilled doing what they love.
Notice you have blinkers...must be aftermarket since it's a BMW
Unheard of with BMW's in Australia also.
As always, fantastic advise, cannot believe how slippy the Ring gets, great insight. Cheers.
This is on my bucket list now.
Really great video! I drive a GT86 and your comments while driving where good stuff!
Impressive track knowledge and very entertaining lap under these conditions. And all while respecting the yellow flags and without reckless driving. Two thumbs up
Very cool vid and commentary. Was making my arse twitch just watching lol.
Ive never seen a BMW driving in the wet get around the track with out hanging bits of car over the crash barriers -Good driving ,
always love seeing you drive in the rain
Brilliant driving and track knowledge......
At Kesselchen you mistakenly said "this is Kallenhard". Nothing special. But your rain prediction was great!
Yep, well spotted. They all start with "K", right? :D
Kesselchen, Kallenhard, Klostertal...no one cares about saying the right name instead of knowing where you are ;-)
Great car skill....great knowledge and great sense of humour!
Such a fun and knowledgeable driver. Well done, sir.👏👏👏
this guy can drive
A perfect Nurburgring video doesn't exi....
can´t wait for that table of recommended rental cars, nice idea!
impressive well coached driving of the ring! cheers
Very impressive. Well handled in the tricky conditions.
Great drive & commentary .. like to see this bloke do a few laps of Bathurst in the rain, it would be entertaining.
I wouldn't have enjoyed driving those last few minutes at all. Amazing driving!
Very impressive driving Dale!
Excellent video!
Great drive holding that monster on a day like that! I witnessed the same carnage just a couple of minutes later skidding all over the place in my Cupra. Luckily nothing happened. Great experience ...Green and wet hell! :)
Just watching this you can see why so many rear wheel drive cars crash here when it is wet. You have to be quick and accurate to catch it when the back end breaks away.
Wow, this boy can drive, nice lap in those conditions.
I wish i could be in that codriver seat! One day i might? Roadtrip from Norway just to take a lap with you Mr.!
Amazing driving ! Enjoyed the ride !!
this is so gonna help me in project cars lol
hahahah you know dale was the first one to make me understand why I was so bad driving the nurburgring in full rain in gran turismo. I took the racing line everywhere and basically drifted the whole lap and kept thinking "why is there no grip"
Rent4Ring!!! I rented a Suzuki Ignis Cup from them in 2008 to do my 'ring laps. Such cool, very wow :D
Thumbs up, excellent job!
Nice one, shame about those cars and bike crashing, but glad all was ok in the end :)
Great lap Dale!
Good driver and very articulate. Nice video
Legend says there is a porsche still following him.
Seems like a smart arse to me. No doubt he knows the ring and he can drive well for sure, but he comes across real big headed with it.
I like this guy, I recon he’d even be able to make me drive around in less than 10 minutes, and I’m the slowest driver I know! Lol
"Im wrong wow" no one likes a smart arse, good driver though.
Casual Agent Hey man, he knows his shit. You’re just hating really.
You can’t beat experience. Fastest drivers aren’t always the ones hitting the highest speeds, just the smoothest and knowing the track and the limits, the car and its limits, the driver and it’s limits. Never driven the ring, my first lap I’d drive sensibly to learn the track
I will certainly get booking a lap with this guy if I ever get there.

You still driving the Jag these days? Also do you sit in with drivers in their cars, is that an option for a guided lap too?
I just drive the taxi, I can't really do coaching in TF anymore, sorry.
Great drive and explanation Dale. you should do this for a living lol
wow he is pretty good
and he remembers all these stuff
Nice meeting you at goodwood! Keep up the videos!
Mate you are such a good driver !
Subbed good idea.
Talk about knowing the track, wow...even in wet, fast AF!
excellent video, is there one showing the turn in points over the full lap? the commentary was interesting as its something you would only learn over being there and doing it
The funny part is the guy that wouldn't let him pass , tried to catch up , to no avail ...
Looks like the first snowfall of the season where I live.
Awesome driving!
brilliant telent , well done
Ohhohohohoho !!
pretty good windshield vipers
Good lord, the only way I could see you'd got to mini karussell was by the tilt of the car.
Thx for sharing Dale, cool vid want to join you for a lap! Can learn a lot From you!
Amazing driver ...and all while chit-chatting too! Great video. I must also comment and say before I saw this video, I dismissed anything other than the 135i or 140i. I thought the others were weak. But this 125i is pretty impressive I must say. I see it is modified - is the engine tuned for more power? This surely must mean that the 130i might just about be the bargain of the lot. I think I will go and have a look. Thanks for the vid.
How come so many lights lit up on dash?
Nice vid. Do the rentals chuck you the keys for a few laps or do you still have to pay?? :)
I'm never wrong. I though I was once, but I was mistaken.
Carnage at the Nurburgring?? *clicks eagerly*
Flappy paddles, so sick
Does this 125 have an LSD, some electronic trickery or an open diff? Some sideways shenanigans, but other times some one wheel peel.
He put the steering onto full lock in one of those bends, to correct a slide, which I could drive like that!
Nice… you know the track well, but there are times when you press a little too much gas on purpose to "oops" countersteer…
or you need better tires, and a better tuned chassis
Do it for Dale
"How do ya like them beer and schnitzels?"

How do the "semi-slick" tyres that they provide on the rental cars cope with rain like that? Are they likely to be genuinely "semi-slick" or do they still clear enough water, and is it safe to back right off or do they need a bit of temp?
It's safe to back right off. Semi-slicks only really suffer in truly torrential conditions (in my experience)
Is this the same dale that gives orientation/introduction to drivers in rent4ring before heading to the ring?
Is that a tire pressure warning light on?
Anybody notice the brake warning in the satnav system? haha
Did the M2 that crashed have allot of damage?
Wow...brilliant driving...thats the difference between a pro who knows the circuit vs amatuers
What a KIA!
Who's this driver ? Great skills and track knowledge 👌
You got enough warning lights on your dash? Assuming one's for t/c off, but the rest?
I assume that 125i is running track settings on the suspension? Seems to have little or no understeer in it at all? (undertseer being normal behavior for car with high polar moment)
I would do anything to be your passenger!
That flatbed doesnt necessarily got past that bmw...
Try Rainx it will work wonders under rainy conditions. over 100 kph no windshield wipers needed
its not for a year but 1-2 months works very well then needs to be reapplied
and makes driving way more secure. I use it several years now
Why the Christmas tree dash?
Loving your videos, loving Nordschleife!
Is there a free tour around the ring coming with being your 28´thsd subscriber?
It´d help tremendously with my +2000 laps computer games addiction for that track.
The word is "gingerly".
Wow, some nice saves there, impressed you managed to keep up the pace you did!
Nice idea to build a recommended cars list - do you offer training / passenger laps too?
(Also, where did you learn to drive like that? :D)
Whats the deal with the brake warning lights? Shagged rental or deliberate?
agoodm abs likely disconnected
Dale, can you explain how that very same situation would have played out in the same car with racing rain tires? I was once told those tires generate as much grip in the rain as a performance summer tire (PSS, P-Zero, so not UHP) does on dry tarmac. Is this only true when it has been raining for some time? Also, how long does it have to rain at the Ring (or any track for that matter) before it is "only wet" rather than all of the gunk getting out of the tarmac?
the problem with a track that big is....is will rain on 1/3 of the lap & the other 2/3rds is still dry, if you put on too soft of a rain tire, you'll shred those tires down in 3 laps or less if you can't keep the tires cool. If the whole track is wet, then all you have to do is balance your temps. Ayrton Senna was the master in the wet.
That is a problem, but for argument's sake, let's just say it is equally wet on the entire track.
already said, like it the video,(full racing wet tire) stay off the dry racing line, slow steering & braking inputs, make sure the tires stay damp/minimally wet for max traction/tire life, finesse is the key
So will a racing tire (wet) generate as much grip in the wet as a performance street tire does in the dry? So you say to stay off the line, but what about if it has been raining for two hours straight -- is the racing line going to be fine again? Do you have experience driving on full wets on the Nordschleife?
It all depends on the car and Tyre, Racing wet tyres will out perform normal road tyres but on dry vs wet then who knows it's like comparing an F1 car to a street car two different end's of a spectrum, As for the racing line being fine don't see what you mean? If what you mean by grip then no it will have to rubber in again like racing on street track's or new surfaces the rubber and oil will need to be laid down again by car's going on the racing line.
Please can this guy teach me how to drive!!!
When God decides to play a game of his own and sets the difficulty to hard 😄
Drinking beers and eating schnitzels..
Imagine what this car is thinking, why couldn't an old couple with a heated garage have bought me, instead of being out here on a cold, wet day with high oil pressure!
