Let's go! Ferrari 488 Challenge EVO at Donington Park... you know it's going to be incredible. What an amazing experience to be part of the Ferrari Challenge weekend, around some stunning road cars and race cars, and of course a first experience in the 488 Challenge EVO. I'm hoping it's not the last time I get to drive one!
HEY guys SHMEE THIS IS ONE. OF THE GREATEST OIVBEO YOU MADE I Really love and love you so much love it love love miss you and love you all and love you guys.
I did 3 laps at Pittsburgh international raceway in a 488 GTB, and that was insane. I couldn't imagine the challenge Evo. Good for you, man. I'm a bit jealous.
I was at the F1 museum at Donington (now sadly closed) a few years ago and could hear cars going round the track. A few of us enquired to be told it was a Ferrari Owners day and that we could go down and walk round the paddock as they never minded, unlike some other clubs. Had a great few hours. You do need that 812, don't even mind the colour .
Shmee, which do you feel has had a greater impact on your success: your honesty as a journalist/person when creating content or the access to desirable vehicles?
Interesting question! I think the two probably come hand in hand but the former is more significant; the access has come as a result of being honest and respectful through the years
Well done Shmee👍 I am big "tifosi" of Ferrari, following all news in Ferrari cars, including supersports and F1. Thanks, that you costantly informing us about all intresting supersports, such Ferrari 812 Competizione, this was another exceptional ride😀 I am looking forward to your Lamborghini Huracan STO 🤞 Go on, I wish you all the best to the next work. Best Regards from Slovakia
Your bank balance will take a hammering if fancy doing the series. I know some of UAE 🇦🇪 drivers doing the series and you get great training , plus food etc.
I think your apprenticeship on the Nordschleife has stood you in good stead.....you are a pretty handy and confident track jockey now Tim! Nice driving. I have always liked Green Ferraris with Tobacco leather, even on the 60's classic Berlinetta's. A 250 Lusso or 330 GTC in that combination would do me well!!!
Tim you are just in a leque and class of your own...the quality of your videos and presentation is just awesome. Mch more classy than some of the American vlogs. Thank you for the awesome vlogs.
@@Shmee150 the way you do things, i think your garage would be more like a Jay type of thing... just guessing :) but it would be great to do a vid with Harry too! or a vid with Jezza or Hammond :)
If doing this is within your means to do then why not? Do it for those of us that never could, but most of all do it for yourself. Have fun. Love the channel. 🇦🇺
Wow Tim I can’t remember the last time you were this nervous on camera! I really enjoyed you filming the race, you should film your experience with races more often. Very entertaining!
I know they are insanely capable and have tons of power but I just feel like Ferrari didn’t try very hard on the styling on the SF90, either be rounded or angular or do a much better job of blending the two than they did on the SF90. Ferrari is hands down my favorite marquee but I’m not feeling the design language on this new model
I could be wrong but racing cars have maybe a more direct steering wheel transmission than production cars. A slight rotation on the steering wheel transmit the same rotation angle to the wheels. If you would have the same steering wheel transmission on production cars it would be stressfull to drive them for long periods on public roads. You can have money to buy a Ferrari but you are not racing it on a daily basis after all...
Tim would love to see you in the challenge series. Lots of fun and great content for your viewers. 👌grant barker in New Zealand does that and loves it.
You should do some racing, difficult to fit around your schedule I know, but having seen you drive the GT2RS in California & countless laps of the Nordscheife, you'd be competitive - perhaps a few one off events ?
How often have you been driving at Donnington Park? You seem to know the track pretty well. Have you done some sim racing like on ACC with the 488 EVO at Donnington?
shmee you are the only person that keeping me alive during this bullshit lockdown. just know that i thank you for all the hard work you put in to make these videos possible. Once again THANK YOU 🙌🙏🙏

Epic experience isn't it
Shmerrific! Where can I write a post-dated cheque for one of these bad boys?
You somehow seem to always get the right camera angle. Perfect action photogroshmee.
That spec for the 812 Gts need to be a new shmeemobile green with brown leather
WHAT WAS YOUR HIGHEST SPEED. ?
THIS IS THE RESULT OF YOUR HARD WORK
Been watching since r8 days and never ever skipped a video, even for exams 😅shmee is the best car vlogger EVER.
Thank you so much, you're a legend!
@@Shmee150 I hope you enjoyed it and I am so jealous and you are so good at RUclips I’m jealous at that
@@alfienichols9524 but that’s a good thing right, since we get good content.
Hey Shmee, this is one of the greatest video you made! I really like it
From your username, I can see why!
@@Shmee150 lol

HEY guys SHMEE THIS IS ONE. OF THE GREATEST OIVBEO YOU MADE I Really love and love you so much love it love love miss you and love you all and love you guys.
What an insane experience!
Sure was!!
@@Shmee150 You'll drive an F1 car next.
This was freaking amazing dude.
I see you 👌
I wonder how many hours of training and laps do you have to endure in order to drive a car like that.
Now I want someone to get the headlight covers from this car and put it on a street car, looks so cool
Dde should get one
The race cars aren't always faster in a straight line but the corning capabilities are on another level
True story
Sounds like someone's catching the racing itch! 😉
Also can totally understand the cargasm over the spec of that 812 🤤🤤
Bravo Ferrari for having your own competition, amazing the support Ferrari has around the World.
I hope even if it’s just 1 single person that sees this, that they have an amazing day and an even better future!
Well thank you I will, and hello from California.
Thanks man lol
I did 3 laps at Pittsburgh international raceway in a 488 GTB, and that was insane. I couldn't imagine the challenge Evo. Good for you, man. I'm a bit jealous.
That green on the 812 gts... perfection 🤤🤤😍
What a bad ass experience, Tim! You had the genuine smile on your face and it made me smile the whole time
At least I can drive this in ACC now, what a car, awesome speeeeeed.
"I wont be revving it out because it is still running in and hasn't had its first service yet"
Yes! I was waiting for another race day! What a great experience!
This video proves ; Real loves and Passion for Car .
Well done, fantastic first drive, and yes you need to get yourself a gts, best of all worlds
Thanks!
we need that green 812 gts in the garage!!
Tell me about it...
Nah i bet he gets another Mercedes first. He seems to like something about them.
Hi Tim,
My! You certainly live an "over the top" life. Every one of your vlogs is better than the last! Ferrari should put you on the payroll! 💯💯💯
Car looks absolutely stunning, great video!
Thanks a ton!

Spot on.
I had a ride in one today round Goodwood. Main thing that surprised me was how good it's brakes are. Amazing car.

I saw your Instagram stories, and I was so hyped for the video
Hope you enjoy it
You are one lucky man Tim...Cheers !! The 812 is ultra sexy !
Yes I am!
Your bank balance will take a hammering if fancy doing the series. I know some of UAE 🇦🇪 drivers doing the series and you get great training , plus food etc.
A few tense moments there Tim, waiting to go out.
Good driving too.
Great content for the channel.
The fastest I've ever seen you drive 😳 Greetings from across the pond.
I really hope you add a 812 Superfast to your collection shmee. Its my dream car and think it would be a great V12 add!!! Cheers!!
The V12 is certainly missing from the collection
Your videos are timeless!!!
Thanks
I love these race car test drives
Thanks for watching
Would love to see a 250 GTO
Wouldn't we all!

Hey Shmee, have you considered visiting Harry's Garage? Might be good inspiration for your garage.
Would genuinely love to visit Harry!
@@Shmee150 the way you do things, i think your garage would be more like a Jay type of thing... just guessing :) but it would be great to do a vid with Harry too! or a vid with Jezza or Hammond :)

Goodness! Absolutely insane! 🔥🔥🔥

Some great frames of me in action there. A very hot day but some nice old Ferraris with impressive racing shown
Next car shmee will get is an 812 gts, hands down the perfect modern v12
I'd love that to happen before long
Thanks for making videos like this. Glad you enjoy cars so much.
Wow congrats Tim this is sick
Imagine driving that at the Nürburgring
The joy on your face is worth all the words in the world 😁
Great video mate
Ferrari is just supercar royalty.
Really and truly
I love the video Shmee! I love your automotive content!
Appreciate it!
Question: why does it have only a fraction of the headlight on the normal 488?
Wow Tim I can’t remember the last time you were this nervous on camera! I really enjoyed you filming the race, you should film your experience with races more often. Very entertaining!
Very nice driving , beautiful car 👍👍
Your content is so raw
We are missing a ferrari v12 in the garage. Great video
You bet we are, and that gap will be filled before long
Love too hear that
Way to go Shmee! What a fun time.
Thank you!
That car is gorgeous
Ferrari everywhere I love it 🥰
Nothing but the best!

I will agree with you there the ferrari 812 gts is the perfect car and that colour looks great
Sure is!
Dear Mr Shmee !! WOW WEE !! your Driving Is Becoming Quite Good !! well Driven.......... Bless
Hey shmee which one you like F12 TDF or 812 competizione
812C
@@Shmee150 for me F12 TDF 😉
@@bharathchand25 me too, TDF all the way...there’s something so special about it
You are living the dream mate!
Best of luck and keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
Great content Tim!
I hope this video does well cause this video was epic
Thanks for the support
Why doesnt the wheel stay steady when turning?
Because Tim can't drive.. or has weak arms.. to keep it steady XD

Think u need a Ferrari back on the channel 👌812 looks stunning
I agree
Wowww and congrats Tim…. thank you for sharing 🙏
Actually excited for you. Brilliant to see the channel evolve to a stage where exotic is the norm 👌. When you think of the clio days...
Really like your content. Keep it coming 👍
That's got to be an experience, I enjoy ur videos and learn alot...🍻
Love donington, it’s my local track and there’s nothing better than going to some of the events they have there.
It's great for sure, drove it for the first time 6 months ago and would love to spend some more time on the track
Tim would love to see you in the challenge series. Lots of fun and great content for your viewers. 👌grant barker in New Zealand does that and loves it.
I love you Schmee never change
Shmee looks like Super Mario after eating Ferrari mushroom powerup😂😂😂
That look crazy 🔝
You should do some racing, difficult to fit around your schedule I know, but having seen you drive the GT2RS in California & countless laps of the Nordscheife, you'd be competitive - perhaps a few one off events ?
Would love to and certainly considering some options
Awesome and fun track report, super you took us along, thank you very much Shmee, rolling works of art those cars, how about a blue 812 GTS✌😁
Living the dream
Sure am, what a day!
@@Shmee150 was, thanks for your reply and the video.... stay safe ✌️
What is your lap time
Please reply
I hope you add a race car to the new Shmuseum someday!
Love this! Would you ever consider a more classic car? Maybe an E-type for the collection...?
Somebody been watching STG?! I would love a 60s Mustang
A 300SL Gullwing would be a perfect addition to the shmeemobiles Tim! 🙂
@@Shmee150 That would be awesome
@@Shmee150 Go onto James Edition website...search cars and narrow down to Ford, then look for Eleanor...now that would be cool
Fantastic video, more like this please Tim
Will do my best, thanks for watching

I just love blu TdF . the best Ferrari color
I remember when TheStradman Ubered you to the airport
I was there last Sunday the challenge cars sounded amazing! 👍
I’ve died and gone to Ferrari heaven
EPIC!!!
This is sooooo cool Tim. What a great experience!
Cheers
It was!

That's awesome, love some racecar content!! Next up Porsche RSR GTE?? ;)
Hi shmee. Do you know the colour on the 812 GTS?
Verde Zeltweg
how awsome you tried the Ferrari Challenge,
it mush have been a pleasure
You bet it was, what a drive!
I feel like an 812 needs to be a Shmeemobile in the future. Stunning cars.
When are you getting your own 812 mate? :)
Really, really soon
Sheeeeeeeeesh
