- I had the great fortune to park next to an amazing driver at the Nurburgring during a Tourist Day in April 2016. I had rented a 228i prepped by rentracecar(de) and struck up a conversation about it being my first day ever here. Next thing I know I am in for a ride of a lifetime! Enjoy
Don't let this distract you from the fact that the porsche is still behind us.
Maybe he should use the whole track?
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is running three Honda civics with spoon engines. And he just came into Harry's and ordered two t66 turbos with NOS. And a motec system exhaust.
@@nubbyplaysbass hahahahahaha
@@nubbyplaysbass hahahaha how did you manage to come up with that?
@@juniorschouten3448 Fast and Furious reference lol
What I learnt:
USE THE WHOLE TRACK and THE PORSCHE IS STILL BEHINDE US
Based on the mistakes "learned" might be a bit of an overstatement :D
sorry dude. *Whole, I keep seeing 'hole' and I caved. I must correct it.
I learnt in vivid detail what a 228i’s A pillar looks like.
Let it all out
@@yneshAshanti it's an M135/M140
Every 3 or 4 months i come back here to find out if the Porsche is still behind us.
Life's too short to worry about things like that.
That depends on whether you used the whole track.
Me too. I type " the Porsche still behind us " in the search bar. That's how I find this amazing video :-)))
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I went to kroger today, the Porsche was still behind us.
The BMW is still ahead of us, using the whole track... oops wrong video.
Lmao 😁
As you can see the Gt3 rs Porsche is still behind us (flashing the headlights, gesturing with his finger, oh and it looks like hes shouting something?)
The Scottish Sprayer lmao
Did you just come from the video of the SRT Hellcat, too? LOL
Rapture2k1 yoo I just did 😂😂
Rapture2k1 yup
In his grave, "notice how the porsche is still behind us."
How tf does this not have any replies
@@arteonyx thanks man I appreciate it
💀💀💀
I know I'm late but it's just funny nothing to reply to great comment lol
☠️☠️
Good video, would have been better if the driver used the whole track though. Imagine if there was porche behind them too and it was still following.. that wouldve been epic.
@@jm4687 r/whoosh
🤣🤣🤣 one could only wish.
I would be very nonplussed if that occurred.
BANTER
Legend😹😹😹😹
The driver talks like an introduction NPC in a video game haha
"You have to use the whole track"
"The Porsche is still behind us"
Hahahahaha so good
Oblivion anyone lol
This one is the most accurate lmao
"And you have to keep it tidy"
Is the Porsche still behind us?
When he asked, "Can I push the car?" That was rhetorical. He was going to push that car weather you said yes or no. Awesome driver
@mike force Notice how you didn't capitalize the first word in your sentence...dat iz ohkay doe, ju2ube woodint bee ju2ube widouwt comments liyke you'res
@mike force I love how you keep liking your own replies-very cute almost like a child self soothing by sucking their thumb or something.👍👍👍👍👍 Makes me wonder.
@mike force
Ha, AJ Amaya roasted your ass bro.
I think it was more of a "consent" thing
What is "car weather"? U said he was gonna push that "car weather". I wanna buy a "car weather" now!
Samir better be on this track....
He'd break the car before getting on the track
Matias Hogden for sure wasn’t listen for instructions
SAMIR! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME!
SHATAP!
He is over the barrier
Thank you. Sold my Porsche and bought a BMW.
Regards,
The Porsche driver behind you.
It's not about the car, it's the driver. that's the whole point. He could have done the same in a nissan micra.
@@MrFelixify really? :( Should I bought my Porsche back?
hrnylmz well dont forget to use the whole track, when u get it back
Underrated comment.
Micra is legend just ask the staneeys in Bradford
I was thinking throughout it must be a M1/235i and was really shocked that's it's just a 28i! Shows that a good driver can put supercars to shame!
Aron Bell proud of my 230i 😛
100bhp are enough to put cars with 3-400 bhp to shame. People don't know how to drive these days. They can show of numbers in a straight line, but that's it^^
I generally agree but I have a friend who has modded his 228i to about 350hp. Might be the case on this one too. Your argument stays valid yet you still need power to "SEE THAT PORSCHE BEHIND US?"
This one is rented
hp is not everything even though the car is not powerfull it still has great balance and handling and that guy is awesome too
"This is a very dangerous corner"
Literally remember crashing into that corner so often in grand turismo, it would catch me off guard so many times 😤
Same, just in forza. I think because you can see so far ahead, especially since nurburger is a track where you often can't, because middle of forest and all, so you just pin it. Took me till like forza 3 to start actually braking for it lol
well it’s been 3 years...
is the porsche still behind us?
fuck up
Wondering if this guy is still there, walking around rental cars , offering to show the lines and how to keep Porsches behind ....
I can't see, he's probaly behind us.
Yeah still there flashing the lights and shouting get the fuck out the way!
@@renaudcag he's got an M2 schirmer
His ex-girlfriend had a Porsche, I guess.
She left him for a guy who put a faster lap time down in a Porsche lol
@@jessekohler6000 thats s sad story
Jesse Kohler that hurts
The guy she was fucking did
I cried when I read this LMAO
its been 6 years and he's still using the whole track and there's still a porsche behind them. absolutely wild
Most impressive part for me...this wasn't a car he's driven before!
Wow, he really shows what this car is capable of!
As does most people in a BMW, through traffic, without using turn signals.😒
Which is certainly why cars like the Civic Type R make sense from a performance standpoint. Raw speed doesn't make for the fastest track times (although it does make for fun acceleration).
And he also showed what the GT3 was not capable of
that was driver based, if the drivers switched, the gt3 would be much more performing, or the gt3 driver didnt feel comfortable passing him and felt held up, but this was very impressive driving
Capable of leaving a Porsche behind us
1 like 1 prayer for that Porsche behind them
Valentine poor guy 🤦🏻♂️
Fuck off beggar
@Valentine you got 666 likes. I don't trust you anymore
lol @ 0:20
Take traction control off?
Yeah. Its more fun
Heh...
*Face of terror* xD
0:47 you keep concentrating. Don't talk to me. Lmao 😂😂
@@datnillavondizzle I hear that, even though ive got zero xp ;)
Hahaha
Lmao the face at 0:26
@@datnillavondizzle
Yeah thats the idea. You only have Trac off when you want to have fun. Otherwise in a track setting, you keep that on.
Very good driver,.smooth,,no tire squeal,,brakes properly,,isn't pounding the eguipment
There was definitely a good amount of tire squeal here and there, but I'm pretty sure most professional drivers still get that a lot 'cause of how hard they take turns, lol. Dude was a freaking champ.
Sounds like porn
ryuman757 a lot of times in racing (i'm an amateur racing driver here in Canada), the drivers do something called 4 Wheel drifting or sliding. Which is when you take a turn and then squeeze the accelerator and have the car accelerate while also pushing outwards on the corner because of the tires going past the traction limit and excerting more centri-fugual force than centri-petal force. Which allows one to keep control of the car, accelerate and push the car to the edge of the track in preparation for the next corner. This is something that is only handy on the set of turns where it's applicable. But everytime you heard the tires squeal, the driver was using this strategy. Hope that helps explain the phenomenon a little.
Tammy Hacker did you have your volume up?definitely tire squeal
shan_rocks Tyre squeal isn't the best cue to judge the limit of a tyre. The only way to know is through your inputs either using throttle or steering and feeling or viewing the increased or decreased yaw due to over or understeer to understand if the tyres are actually being used fully.
I've noticed personally that eco tyres I run in my daily will start to make noise under the limit and I'm able to lean on them a little harder before I lose traction, however, while on semi slicks track tyres and slicks, they seem to make noise when past the limit and already under or oversteering to a considerable degree.
Hope this helps.
This video should be titled: "Watching an A-pillar Going Around the Nurburgring"
True lol, but it gave you a good perspective of the lines
Lmao 😂
With commentary
1st thing i thought. Imagine that camera as a difficulty level 10 angle for gaming.
G K 😂
A dear old friend of mind (ex race car driver) took me out for a spin on some empty country roads in my Celica Gen 7 140 a few years ago "to show me what the car could do". He was 65 years old at the time. Bog standard tyres, no suspension or brake mods. My eyes were literally popping out of my head at the astonishing speed at which he took the thing round corners. Quite incredible.
The lesson from that experience for me is this: before you bother to spend HUGE sums of money on a mega performance car, learn to drive really, really, REALLY well first, otherwise you're literally wasting your own money (apart from obvious pose value). That 228 in the vid probably pushes out between 250 and 290 bhp.
The guy in this vid keeps repeating that the Porsche is still behind him and that's a really good reminder that most drivers cannot seriously hustle their vehicle around a corner and that most cars with any decent performance capabilities are WAY beyond the abilities of their owners.
4:11that scared the absolute SH*T out of me!
CorruptCarrot yeah he’s got some good brakes goddd damn
Dutch drivers.....
@@itakunaiix7092 and the otber bmw driver was really smart, by dodging to the side
@@i4y the one at fault was the mercedes because he closed the apex before the dutch guy and nearly got the other bmw too
Yeah that could have ended really bad, if it was even slightly damp no way.
It's the damn merc right at the front that caused all the following bmws to slow like that.
Also this really makes one question braking distances laid out in the uk theory test. He literally went from around 80 mph to
If I had dollar for every time he said “and the the Porsche is still behind us” I would have a Porsche.
Show me this $9 Porche I gotta see it
@@542 haha nice.
And you'd still be behind. 😂😂
9:45, almost lost controll. Good recovery
Yep and sounded like for split second he released the throttle to gain traction.
Just a bit of oversteer
Driver : "Try to memorize the track"
Looks outside the window everything is a blurr..
😂🤣🤣
Hahaha xD
hahahaha
Great save from the driver when the cars all stopped. nice reaction time and great lane choice
What a driver..........
Thats why Porsche is still behind us....
Everybody’s having fun with Porsche comment..😂😂
But driving skills are phenomenal....
he did 6:59 with e92 m3
It's 2019 and the Porsche is still behind him. 😎
How did you get the brown stains off the passenger seat?
TheLMMish brown leather mate :)
Ride a prius and sit back in the bmw it will suck back the brown thing
Easy. There were no stains. His butt ate the seat. Was never seen again.
Ha ha
May 6 th, 2019.
Some say, that the porsche is still behind them, and that the BMW driver used the whole track.
Legend says: the Porsche is still behind them
Watching this in 2019 Porsche still behind us
I was gonna type exactly that but browsed through the comments to see if anyone else did that already :))
You see he's not escaping.
The drivers knowledge of the track actually helped me have a better lap time in Forza 7.
8:50 To all those making fun about this overtaking GT4 scene, he obviously slowed down and let him pass. If you cant spot that, you shouldnt be smartassing on racing videos.
D4RKBRU73 thank you one person understands this
But guess what..the Porsche is still behind us.
a good driver in that gt4 doesnt need him to slow down to let him pass...
@@johnbenson9806 No he's not, but you see, he isn't escaping...
You can see him downshifting and literally hear him say: "I'm going to let him go. Go, go!"
0:03 I would have died if he got out and started pushing the car.
Ashby Unlimited 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
LOL u fool..made me laugh out loud at 4:22am in my own bedroom..
I am the Terminator. I am from the future, and I'm here to confirm that the Porcsche is still behind him.
Nothing quite like an A-pillar right smack dab in the middle of your otherwise awesome footage! The driver was freaking amazing! To experience the Ring(whether driver OR passenger!) is high on my bucket list!
This, as a carguy- made me smile multiple times
this is one of those youtube classics that you come back to every 2 years
This was an amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing. Love the good experience drivers on the ring. They make a huge difference in any car they drive. That was pretty dang fast.
He makes it look easy. That's how good he is.
3:33 This is a very dangerous coner. But you can do it like this...💀😂
Junior Júnior lol I always crash on the simulator on that exact corner, this guys driving in real life like I do on the sim 😂😂 lol he has the guts.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
And the Porsche is still not following us.
This is a very dangerous corner but I have balls of steel so...dont worry, LOL
😭😭😭
I'm curious about the incredible thought process put into the great view of the drive. Love seeing a a metal support structure right in the middle of the view. It's so fun watching a drive like this.
What a top reaction when he had to brake approaching the two slow cars in front on the corner.If you know the track and are a top driver in a fast car this is it.I bet Sabrina would keep up with him do.Using the whole track is the way to go .
Safety note: Porsches in mirror are closer than they appear
But still behind, nonetheless.
Hi, just checking in. Is the Porsche still behind ?
No, but you see he's not escaping.
Pawel X 😂😂😂😂
9 months later after your comment and yes the porsche is still behind us
Dayuum the Porsche is still behind
March 1st , 2020 , Yep , still behind us
conversation:
20% you see how smooth?
20% now comes my favorite part
80% the porsche is following us
Guy gave it %120 I rate him 12 out of 10.
I love how he start off all casually "yea you start out here at 270 kmh"
I actually liked the camera position. Gave a real sense of speed. And being from UK it was like a drivers view! 😊
Great video. One of the few times I sat through an entire lap of the ring on RUclips. Well done 👍 subbed!
I bet that was amazing brother! Looks like an amazing ride
saw a interview once that stuck with me... f1 driver said "it's not how FAST you drive - it's how you drive FAST"
Senna - How often you break. ~~ Can't remember the actual quote but this stuck with me. My interpretation is actually you awareness of what's happening in front of you + control of the car through acceleration and deceleration where break is simply a cop-out. In practice, it keeps you really connected to the drive.
@@VI-pp4jo That also improves your mpg!
Such an underrated car.
Just an amazing driver
Man this years gran turismo looks so realistic. The camera angles a bit weird though.

April 14th 2019. I've got a question. Is the Porsche still behind them??
Yes it’s.
No, but he's not escaping.
Even on the 4th of June the Porsche is still behind them 😀☝️
😝
Mike Pasoldt almost July now the Porsche is still behind them
Amazingly it was a 228i, that just shows me that the driver’s acquired some incredible skills at driving
At 10:06 when the window opened I thought he rolled the car.
That scared the shit out of me

Haha nice driving..."AH SHITTT !!"

This is just like need for speed, you are first 98% of the lap. And 1 mile before the finish the f**king cayman gt4 overtakes you.
DubAndToke420 so a lap is 50 miles

this is why you need a quiet driver. no words, only skill.
Such beautiful A pillars! Just wow.
Yuvanesh Silvanathan - yeah agreed. Only had suction cup mount
Guess what?
The Porsche is still behind us :D
Sorry but you should not forget
to use the whole track
10:20 , at the very end of this amazing educating video i realized that the Porsche is still behind us.
Legend has it that the Porsche is still behind us even to this day.
No, it's just a legend. The Porsche driver, and most of us, have moved on from there...
The best is the passenger. “Yeah. Yeah.” As he holds the oh shit handle tighter. Love it
When I drove the track in my rx7 I did exactly as you are doing with a big grin on my face ...excellent stuff .
6:44 - Laps the Porsche.
LOL
different porsche. how would he lap them if he hadnt completed the whole track yet
@@benl509 I don't know, maybe the same way the joke just passed over your head. A true mystery eh?

*Is the Porsche still behind us?*
As of today yes the Porsche is indeed still behind us
Guys I checked, the Porsche is indeed still behind us
Legend has it he's still saying "And the Porsche is still behind us"
What a driver
That near crash around 4:50-5:00 just shows how quick things can go wrong if you aren’t driving correctly, thankfully your driver had his wits about him!
he protec
he attac
but most importantly he use the whole track
This comment needs to be seen by the masses
He protec
He attac
But most importantly the Porsche is still out back
HAHAHAHAHA this comment is very underrated
legend has it hes still using the whole track
02:58
What a nice and cool dude, I mean, both of them :D
Despite the less then ideal camera position this is still the BEST 'ring video I've seen. Absolutely amazing driving.
Glued to the pavement. That was awesome. I thought it was done when everyone jammed on the binders. Good job driving 👍🏼
Exactly! 3 car accident easy and thats the only reason the Porsche caught up these people in the comments are blind
9:26
"have u raced?"
".....yes."
That made no doubt, he is a really good driver
Legend has it....
That the Porsche is still behind us
Instructor: You see that Porsche? It's still behind us!
Passenger: Wow Wow Wow
Goosebumps just by seeing the driver setting it up and talking *so excited lmfao*
I thought my 🚗 was quick until i watched this video. My God handling, breaking & accelerating r something special!
The car is a 228i from Rent a Race Car - I rented the car and I was driving it.
Very easy to drive and has nice balance but lacks power.
Normally I drive my Schirmer BMW but it was not ready on this day so I rented a 228 i for the day.
Dauxx31 thanks for commenting! Planning on coming back soon
Now it makes sense, Klaus the gentleman behind the wheel! I still have not had the luck to meet you
What modifications does it have??
Nissen Herrera
You can check out the cars at rent race car dot com
5 minutes from the Ring
Doesn’t sound like a 4 cylinder. No way a 228 could accelerate that quickly. It’s probably a 235. As you can see the rev limiter is 7000 and it reaches 7000, a 228 would reach 6500 somewhere there.
lol you should see me when I drive my ford fiesta 2013 se to work at 2am.
No other cars, no other people, just a stretch of road in the middle of nowhere that is about 11 miles of fun.
First half is all curves, and the second is flat out.
Going 85 mph on average, takes me about 15 mins. It's legit like DiRT Rally except its PaVEMENT Rally.
Which town ? UK ?
Wow you’re cool
Everyone: *exists*
Driver: See the Porsche is still behind us.
What a joy to watch such skill...and the Porsche is still behind us, lol
Ever time I heard “and the Porsche’s still behind us” my smile got bigger.
Legend has it the Porsche is still behind us.
5:29 ...thats all you need
4:10 nice brakes!
335is with autocross slicks and an outstanding driver familiar with the track is hard to beat!
“This is a very dangerous corner but you can do it like this” loved that
at 4:05 if the 3 series didn't move out of the way, it would have been a collision.
LethalCookieMonster 4:15 *
I guess he world turn left on the Grass
Probably just another good German driver who knows to watch rear view mirrors and instinctively move to the right.
Edit: I rewatched it and he moved right to save himself, side effect was it made room for this car. Good driving by all except the lead car not leaving room on the inside for the faster guys.
@@Stevkaa you can see he tried it all the time.. steering wheel is to the left but car going straight.. if e36 doesnt leave to the right it would be crash for sure
That's an E36 M3
Why is this perfect video recomemded to me and is the porsche still behind us ?
Awesome lap indeed!
Thats true ring spirit right there!
Is that a schirmer or hartguy?
