For those going over from the UK, don't forget to contact your insurance company for your Green Card (international certificate of insurance) which you must now carry with you whilst driving in Europe. brexit bullshit! You will also need to carry a Hi-Vis vest, (for each occupant & must be able to reach it from inside your car) spare bulbs, warning triangle, GB stickers and headlight adaptors. The French requirement to carry two Breathalysers is NOT mandatory but simply advised. (All drivers should possess a breathalyser. However, as of the 25th January 2013 a driver can not be penalised for not carrying one. The fine has been postponed indefinitely. The breathalyser has to be a certified by the French authorities, showing an ‘NF’ number. The official text states that one unused breathalyser should be produced. We recommend that two single-use breathalysers are carried, so if one is used or damaged you will still have a replacement to produce.)
wtf?? seriously? you have to have a hi vis for each occupant, never mind the other crap? and I thought health and safety was bloody ridiculous in the work place in New Zealand, yet these rules are for a private vehicle? maybe I don't like the idea of moving back to Europe lol

‘Airport rentals on the track’ - reminds me of a ‘90s tv programme about two Aussie anglers, who when they had to cross a small rocky ford about 2ft deep and 30ft long in New Zealand, said “ideally you’d use a 4x4, but we have the next best thing - a hire car!”
Thanks for this Misha!! This is perfect timing as I plan for my visit to Apex from all the way over here in Canada. You must have made this just for me since I mentioned the trip to you and Robert over the last few days. 😁 I'm leaving this video open in a tab so I can refer back to it with my family and the friends we are staying with in Geilenkirchen. Much appreciated!
Misha, its on my bucket list to make it to the Ring. When I do, I'll hope that I can maybe be fortunate enough to meet you and possibly have you drive me around the ring and tell me all your wonderful stories of the beautiful track, surrounding areas, and your experiences. For now, I'll live vicariously through you. Cheers from a carmrade from NY, USA
Misha ...... I have to say that this video is like dangling a carrot in front of a Donkey 🤣👍 (An excited donkey, at least). Thank You for this Video, as I'm hopefully (after the lifting of restrictions here in the UK) looking towards ticking an item on my bucket list. If Im honest your videos of the "Nordshleiffe Life", is keeping my barely sane. Again thank you.
Thanks for the video, I’m truly interested in visiting Nurburgring for the first time this year and this video made it much easier. Regards from Portugal!
Really liked the music. Despite being your 3rd video on the topic that i watched (recently watched old videos), still a thumbs up for the very informative video!
Absolutely quality misha 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌really cool info and insight into the in and outs of going to the ring 😎😎😎😉👍👌loving the content 👌even in the off season 🙌🙌keep them coming mate 👍
Can't wait to come back, our car is being upgraded (brakes, clutch, suspension), we've been at Apex several times with the Jagermeister E30 last year , this year we want to rent the M4, and visit the 'Ring at least 12 times. best wishes to you MIsha....
Im planning on 2 trips this year, from Denmark! One in car and one on motorcycle!!! And if the funds are with me. A trip around the ring with mr misha is on the wishlist
Super helpfull! Thank you, Misha! I am planning to make the dream come true in May. We are bunch of friends form Bulgaria and will arrive with our own cars. Hopefully we will meet in person. :)
I live in a rainy place would be fun to drive and have space enough to learn some wet weather steering dynamics. I love the Nordschleife, I feel I must drive it for my mother wanted a lap and never got a chance. Can’t let this happen twice. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘
Regarding airport rental on the track.. cheapest ride could be the most expensive ride 🤣 I cant plan yet but I've got holidays backed up from last year and hoping towards summer it is possible to get 3 weeks, hopefully we will get that lap done! 👍
Hi - few questions please as I am thinking about booking in June: - Roughly what is the range of prices for the Apex hotel options? - Are deposits required to book rental cars / instruction, say 6 months in advance? - Of course I'm not planning to have an accident, but can I ask how does the excess work - do you actually reserve 39K EUR on a card for the GTS for example? Thanks very much!
I really wanted to drive the GR Yaris, but I got the chance to drive one shortly. Maybe I still want to rent one for some laps, but the Polo or GT86 would also be cool.
It would be good to get a list of local garages for tyres ,brakes and any general help . We travel from the uk and haven’t had an issue yet but this would be very helpful just incase cheers.
Hé Misha, How about insurence for Dutch cars? As far as I know, there is not a single insurence company that covers the Nürburgring. Yet, a lot of Dutch people drive TF (including myself)
I'm from switzerland and I have the same problem. Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer but this is what I found out so far: Technically you need two/ three things: 1) Liability insurance -> to cover damage you do to others. 2) Additional accident insurance (at least in switzerland) to cover injuries to yourself. The standard insurance does not cover risks and may only pay 50% or not at all. This is required if you want to do a racing license. 3) Comprehensive insurance to cover your own car, which is really the least of your concern. I pay more than 2k $ a year for these insurances for normal road driving but as soon as I step onto a "racetrack" NOTHING is covered, yeah not even for TF which is not a race. If you're a german citizen / you live in germany you're in luck, there're many companies that offer track liability insurance and some even the whole package. Maybe there's a company out there that does offer Liability insurance for foreigners but I have to yet find one that does.
Thanks to yours and Roberts videos I became enthusiastic about the Nurburgring. I will definitely go this year, but I'm not going to drive in tf because my E36 320i manual is way too shitty for that kind of driving. Did you also drive an E36? I think I saw in your old videos.
Hey Mischa, due to Covid i have saved up 4000€, and I don’t want to go on standard beach vacation. My dream is to get some experience (I only drove a few hours on the simulator) on the nürburgring and so my plan is to spend a couple of days there. Can you make give me a advice, or when other people are also interesset, a Video what would be the perfekt combination with about this amount of money. My idea would be something like that: 1st day: a taxi lap and afterwards two laps with an instructor (Polo/218i) and four laps without. At night hopefully good conversations with drivers and car enthusiasts 2nd day: 4 laps with the Polo/218i in the morning and six laps with the Cupra in the afternoon 3rd day: Six laps with the m2 (two of that with the instructor) Is this a good combination or shoud I more drive with less powerful cars, or should I split it, or is the money thrown away, or is a trackday better? (I am from Austria, working at BMW Engine development, my driving skills are some prototype driving licenses)
Are there different track days, for different beginers and pros, faster and slower cars, or everybody is driving at the same time? When is the best time to drive for beginers? Autumn, Summer or Spring?
En het advies om de eerste keer met een instructeur de Nordschleife op te gaan. And the advice to go up the Nordschleife with an instructor for the first time.
I would desperately love to plan our annual Nürburgring outing, however with the state our country is in(UK) at the moment it's looking like a very very remote prospect. Never say never though, and we really want to come biking with you
Are there any trips of you planned, where you arent on the ring so we cant meet you? When will devils diner open? Will there be still pancakes? Did Nürburgring rised any costs like singlelap or yearly subscrition price? Which restaurant are recommended by you? Whats out there around the ring you can do instead of Car things? I would lobe to see you and robert in the offroadpark.
As someone that has stayed at the track and ridden with Robert and met Misha, you absolutely need to check this place out. This was a bucketlist trip for me and I can't wait to come back. I dragged my buddy there and he can't stop talking about it. Definitely recommend renting a car for the track or doing the taxi - don't bring your rental car! Best memory was passing Adam LZ on turn 1 or 2 and having it on video.
Not watched the video yet but hope I'll still be able to come visit the track one day. From the UK so not sure what I can do, especially if I want to bring my own car. Very sad to not still be part of EU.
You mentioned that you need a drivers license and a credit card. Ive heard that if you rent a car you have to provide a credit card for insurance purposes...is this the case? And how much money does the card has to have in it?
I have a question regarding insurance on your rental cars. What does the insurance actually cover in the event of a crash? The reason that I'm asking this is because I know that there was a customer that had crashed one of your cars and he had to pay for a percentage of the damage. So I'm just wondering how it all works. Thank you and hope to visit the ring (and Apex) one day!
Hi! Like every rental car company in the world you are insured, but have excess/deductible that you are liable for. So suppose the excess on the 218i is €9.999 Scenario 1: You spin out and tap the barrier slightly with the bumper. You pay 500€ for the damage and all good. Scenario 2: You got so excited that you sent the car into a Bugatti Chiron that was on the track and destroyed both. The damage is a bit more than the first 500€. You only pay max €9.999.
Do you do plan on covid testing your taxi drivers and instructors? It'd be reassuring to know the person I'd be in a car with is safe. Likewise I'd expect to show a test certificate or a proof of vaccination. Sorry if that's an uncomfortable question.
@@mgcharoudin It's a difficult one. In the UK at least PCR tests are expensive and at a million vaccinations a week it'll still take a year to vaccinate the country. A test also only shows someone first have covid on at the time of taking the test... Spain requires one to enter the country. I don't have answers as to what's right but for something that is non-essential to the customers (playing) and essential to the staff (being paid) then I wonder what will be normal for the next year?
@@mgcharoudin Sorry, probably add I'm not trying to be a pussy here but in the UK we have a lockdown untill probably March, a million infected and 500 people people died in one day. So traveling for fun seems irresponsible unless I can guarantee I'm not going to infect someone. On the other hand businesses need customers and if we all stay at home bankruptcy is no joke either.
As here in England we are just starting a new national lockdown which will probably last until the end of March or April nobody will be able to travel for several months. 2022 will be a better bet.
One of my dreams is to drive my Volkswagen T3 multivan from 1988. She has only a 1.9 Turbo Diesel engine that makes 75hp... I would prefer to do that when there is only a few people, just to not to be a pain in the ass for other drivers, because I would be SLOW, VERY SLOW. When is better to go? And which hours, 9 to 11 am?
Hi Mischa! Good content as always Feel free to remove this q if you want to answer this on a summit video or so instead. I have a question about barrier damage How big crash / damage does it have to be to consider as ”barrier damage”? Have seen som dents ( and purple schratches ) here and there on the barrier And can i buy insurance for that as well. Peace 🤘
When you bend barriers noticeably you have to pay for damage because they need to replace it but i don't think anyone pay for barriers when they bump into it slightly and just cause scratches. They don't replace barriers for scratches.
👍 I'll plan my trip when I feel a little less uncertain that 2021 isn't going to be cancelled. BTW, I didn't even realise that it's the day observed as the birthday of Jean d'Arc, and I live in the city where (King) Charles VII sent her. 🤦♂️ That's how messed up my attention span is with the way things are these days.
Mischa, is there any trick that allow us to register a car in germany without living there ? My thought is that maybe i can register my car in germany and take a classic german insurance that cover me on the nordschleife and always store the car in germany (my car is mainly a track car and the german TUV would allowme to officialy register some basic modifications ) Is there any french guys here ? i plan to go there with an integra dc2, but my insurance refuse to cover me on the nordschleife (Axa assurance), i've contact several other insurance company and each one is refusing me ... How do you guys go there with a valid insurance ? I'm afraid that even if an insurance cover me they will f*cked me over if they need to pay and they noticed that my car is not fully stock (racing brake pads, or even an k&n filter can invalidate my cover) Or maybe i need to go when it's a real trackday and take a trackday insurance ?
It's also my birthday 🤪 Question for people with pre-bookings for 2020, we got notice that our credit will be valid until Dec 2021. Given that South Africa is under travel restrictions again due to new mutated variant, will you be willing to extend the validity of the credit, in case it's still a f#ckup at that point.
@@mgcharoudin yeah hoping it doesn't come to that, having to postpone the trip ANOTHER YEAR would be horrible. Ps is Victor still with you guys or just on leave back in Brasil
For those going over from the UK, don't forget to contact your insurance company for your Green Card (international certificate of insurance) which you must now carry with you whilst driving in Europe. brexit bullshit!

Hi! Like every rental car company in the world you are insured, but have excess/deductible that you are liable for.
So suppose the excess on the 218i is €9.999
Scenario 1:
You spin out and tap the barrier slightly with the bumper. You pay 500€ for the damage and all good.
Scenario 2:
You got so excited that you sent the car into a Bugatti Chiron that was on the track and destroyed both. The damage is a bit more than the first 500€. You only pay max €9.999.

@@mgcharoudin Sorry, probably add I'm not trying to be a pussy here but in the UK we have a lockdown untill probably March, a million infected and 500 people people died in one day. So traveling for fun seems irresponsible unless I can guarantee I'm not going to infect someone. On the other hand businesses need customers and if we all stay at home bankruptcy is no joke either.
As here in England we are just starting a new national lockdown which will probably last until the end of March or April nobody will be able to travel for several months. 2022 will be a better bet.
RIMAC ON NURBURGRINGGGGGG
One of my dreams is to drive my Volkswagen T3 multivan from 1988. She has only a 1.9 Turbo Diesel engine that makes 75hp... I would prefer to do that when there is only a few people, just to not to be a pain in the ass for other drivers, because I would be SLOW, VERY SLOW. When is better to go? And which hours, 9 to 11 am?
Juat before the closure!
Hi Mischa! Good content as always
Feel free to remove this q if you want to answer this on a summit video or so instead.
I have a question about barrier damage
How big crash / damage does it have to be to consider as ”barrier damage”?
Have seen som dents ( and purple schratches ) here and there on the barrier
And can i buy insurance for that as well.
Peace 🤘
When you bend barriers noticeably you have to pay for damage because they need to replace it but i don't think anyone pay for barriers when they bump into it slightly and just cause scratches. They don't replace barriers for scratches.
Hey, Misha. Does Germany cover driver licenses from other countries, outside the EU? Asking for a Brazilian friend, you see...
Yep!
@@mgcharoudin Alright! See you as soon as I can save some cash!
👍 I'll plan my trip when I feel a little less uncertain that 2021 isn't going to be cancelled.
BTW, I didn't even realise that it's the day observed as the birthday of Jean d'Arc, and I live in the city where (King) Charles VII sent her. 🤦♂️ That's how messed up my attention span is with the way things are these days.
Notification squad
Mischa, is there any trick that allow us to register a car in germany without living there ? My thought is that maybe i can register my car in germany and take a classic german insurance that cover me on the nordschleife and always store the car in germany (my car is mainly a track car and the german TUV would allowme to officialy register some basic modifications )
Is there any french guys here ? i plan to go there with an integra dc2, but my insurance refuse to cover me on the nordschleife (Axa assurance), i've contact several other insurance company and each one is refusing me ... How do you guys go there with a valid insurance ? I'm afraid that even if an insurance cover me they will f*cked me over if they need to pay and they noticed that my car is not fully stock (racing brake pads, or even an k&n filter can invalidate my cover)
Or maybe i need to go when it's a real trackday and take a trackday insurance ?
It's also my birthday 🤪 Question for people with pre-bookings for 2020, we got notice that our credit will be valid until Dec 2021. Given that South Africa is under travel restrictions again due to new mutated variant, will you be willing to extend the validity of the credit, in case it's still a f#ckup at that point.
Ask Dyana, but I'm sure she's nice.
@@mgcharoudin yeah hoping it doesn't come to that, having to postpone the trip ANOTHER YEAR would be horrible. Ps is Victor still with you guys or just on leave back in Brasil
that lift music is.... not for me! anyway I hope I'll have some instruction lap this year with you!
6th of march already? Are spectators allowed this time or is that not decided yet?
Spectators track-side were allowed, but who knows what will happen in March.
Hey Misha 👍 I live in Australia, do I need a international licence to drive and rent vehicles ? Or will my Australian licence be enough ? Cheers
Australian is ok!
@@mgcharoudin they can read Aussie fine lol 😆😂
So with tourists garden you don't have the long straight?
Correct
Hm thanks. I think I'll have to spend a bit more money then haha
Add little bit information about the instructors, please!
