I’d like to thank the driver for owning an S2000, actually tracking said S2000, and also having the balls and skill to push that hard. Thanks for playing a part in keeping motorsports(driving) alive. Don’t crash, and have a great life!
wils35 it’s almost more important to me just that he cares enough to put that much into driving, because it's becoming a lost art. But yes, laudable skill indeed.
Bc you're more serious than funny, I dunno if you can get #1 comment here. Still, your points are the #1 that can be said: now I (again) want an S2000, but I don't live on near such a traffic-free course of road. Still, the video was a beauty, driver seemed fully aware & in control all time (like... the revs, the downshifts, the blips, the apexes!, the exits...) and I just want driver to keep his S until July so I can catch a ride when I'm there.
i think the bmw driver was not so good he was breaking in the corners if you understand grip you would not do that not saying i can drive better just know how grip works.you only have 100% grip so if you use som for breaking you cant use it for cornering so you have less grip if you do that in a corner
I owned s2000 AP2 for over 10 years. I've never seen anyone driving that car that fast. This guy knows how to drive s2000. I will never be able to drive like him. This is truly insane..... huge respect.
I'm honda chassis engineer in japan and my car is same s2000 AP1. I believe it's the best rap i've ever seen s2000 on this track. Thank you for uploading!
Peter Hubs - He’d just waved ‘thanks’ to the BM and that split second perhaps made him enter the corner a little quicker than he expected. So without any drama he gathered it up perfectly, many would have gone off probably...
One of my favorite Nurburgring runs on the entire net. Just hearing those high revs and shifts makes it worth it….along with the 20% reduction in drag cause of the passenger’s head.
Kaulamans K chasing? more like leading the race lol M4 could not be driven as fast/hard as this s2000. Faster on straights but S2000 is too light and perfect setup for track.
Steve Timms Yeah, I think the driver mod was HUGE on this. The S2K driver was holding nothing back. Additionally, the M4 driver clearly was being overly cautious. No surprise with a $70-80k car. VERY well done, Xav.
I’ve been on that track and even after a day I had no idea which way the next corner would go! So... great, great drive from the S2000 driver, just to learn this track is a challenge and they way he would catch the S2K sliding at speed was just poetry in motion. I still would have a helmet as a passenger though, especially with an open top! 😉 I would love to be able to drive that well & safely at speed, thanks for a such a clear video as well & for sharing the mods you’ve done.
The M4 driver has an awful line, taking corners from the wrong side of the track or moving over last minute, M4 is only quicker in a straight line, because duh its got like 400bhp compared to the 240 in the S2000
Im a BMW driver but People don't realize how big a difference the driver makes. Money doesn't buy skill, skill comes from practice practice practice....

Different comfort level is reason of different speed in the corners. S2000 is roadster, like Z4. Absolutely different cars. S2000 is a little bigger than cart and no even normal trunk. But in BMW you can sit with your wife, dog, grandmaa, childrens in same time ang go whatever you want with this big company, and you will be a little bit slower that f@king sport ready roadster with no space and no comfort. Think about ths first.
@@nauvofact993 Nah, there's not enough space in the trunk. You need a wagon to do that. When you're talking about sportscars, family space doesn't matter. It's all about speed, agility through corners and fun.
Well, in Korea, we actually learn english from very young age. But for some shitty reason, that english education is not really useful when we actually have to communicate with english users like you guys. Sad thing, isn't it? So don't blame him. It's not his fault. It's a fault of the way how to teach a language of our country.
Xav-S2000, I've had my Spa Yellow (first one sold in Palm Beach County {December 2000}) AP1 S2000 for 18 years now, and I never knew exactly how fast this S.O.B. could be until I saw your set up. What fantastic mods and what UNBELIEVABLE driving skills! You should be driving stunt cars for Hollywood! Thank you so much for making and posting this video. It's the only vid on RUclips that I can't watch while eating. : )
What the hell is wrong with Honda? Why not just sell this car with a revised engine like direct fuel injection and minor tweaks and revised aluminium chassis? Instead they have ruined the nsx with a car that made Senna roll over his grave and made the Type-r hot hatch unobtainable. Just keep shit simple, like this but improved with new tech... Whyyyyy, this car here is glorious
Blank check from mazda to honda....with a memo, "please stay out of our market in entry racing".....Honda is so far from regular Joe racer....I think the SCAA makes entry level race cars....though is strictly for track... just a note that while manufacturer racing is fun...it becomes what F1 is....racing is better when it's about the drivers....to the point of only a couple of cars available on the cheap for the track. This car (S2000) has collector written all over it....a rare thing for such a cheap car....but peeps that like em love em!!
They were going to make a new S2000 then the Twain floods happened which messed up a lot of business that side of the planet. Once they recovered that power station blew which really messed up Honda's production. They are now fully dependent on American and the Europeans design which really only cater for selling to the older market.
僕は日本でS2000 TYPE Sに乗っています。TYPE Sではエアロによる安定性、アンダーステア寄りのセッティング、さらにはトラクションコントールが付いていて僕のような初心者にはうってつけの車です。ですがあなたのようなスーパードライバーの運転するAP1には敵いません…素晴らしい映像をありがとうございます🙏
The corner speed that this car can carry its masterclass. Masterpiece of engine . Masterpiece of car . Honda S2000 one of the greatest car ever made in my humble opinion
Short wheel base, 50:50 weight dist., front-mid engine layout. High speed, cold weather, elevation change, passenger. Ran up on curbing mid drift, full lock, perfect recovery. One of the best real life amateur racing drifts I've ever seen.
That this car is really hard to drive at speeds like this. You can see, that the car is always trying to oversteer in the turn. S2000 is really deadly and it needs to have some skill to drive like this on the edge.
@@Th3_0_h8 those were the later versions, the ap2. America and Japan had those increased 2.2 (UK and others like received facelift ap1 -the 2.0l engine). The 2.2 was made to produce more power and torque, however lost a bit of revs up top. On the track, both engines are very similar, as the loss of power from the 1st gen engines make up for it with the few extra rpm, meaning staying longer in that lower gear...
This is a stock 240bhp AP1 2.0L - I own the same one, I can tell from the engine sound and gear shifting times its a stock s2k - if you want to know why a 240bhp car is able to beat the 420bhp bimmer I can explain
The only racing video I watched till the end. Almost made me feel as if I was in the passenger seat. Sitting with the driver like that makes you feel like there is nothing that can go wrong.
@ Oh stop fella. Every comment you post, you stick your foot further in your mouth....A turbo diesel engine? Lmfao...Quit while you're still visible in the rear view mirror.
At 5:52 when he enters the corner a little hot and starts that tail happy S2k sliding, my man instinctively started to correct it then halfway through transferring the weight to correct the slide he decided to casually drift it on through the turn... AWESOME DRIVING 😎
The full throttle, full lock drift @about 7:23, right after passing the BMW for the second time, was spectacular. And they were both like, so? Wanna go. Wanna go there. Wanna go to Germany...🙏
Probably about 6% (2800/180) of the vehicle weight, maybe less.....that said my point about the right left weight balance maybe negatively affected...or positively. It's impolite to ask "does it make that big of difference?"....it all adds up...and yes 180 lbs makes a huge difference IF and big IF one can drive the car with perfect tire squeal...
Man,this is really fast!!!!Great driving skills,i enjoyed it a lot.The s2000 handles really great and the driver got balls!!Drifting in 3rd gear at the limiter in nurburgring???F@@k,this is awsome!!Thumbs up dude,really great driver.

Lmao that's not an R32.
Anyways, did you see how much faster the S2000 was in the corners?
Different comfort level is reason of different speed in the corners. S2000 is roadster, like Z4. Absolutely different cars. S2000 is a little bigger than cart and no even normal trunk. But in BMW you can sit with your wife, dog, grandmaa, childrens in same time ang go whatever you want with this big company, and you will be a little bit slower that f@king sport ready roadster with no space and no comfort. Think about ths first.
@@nauvofact993 Nah, there's not enough space in the trunk. You need a wagon to do that. When you're talking about sportscars, family space doesn't matter. It's all about speed, agility through corners and fun.
Vol deMort ,fleetingly!
That’s what the S2000 is capable of behind good hands👏🏻👏🏻Well done mate great driving skills
That M4 driver was sad in the corners
shit specs + overboosted
Best he can do with that tank, he should drag race 😂
yes man yes!!! good pilot very nice and good car.. 😉
You are a very good driver. They are also watching in South Korea
Who are they?
@@EmpanadaDeCaca bad translate. Probably meant "watching from korea" or something
Your country is nice, but I would rather go to best Korea.
Something quite sinister about this comment
Well, in Korea, we actually learn english from very young age. But for some shitty reason, that english education is not really useful when we actually have to communicate with english users like you guys. Sad thing, isn't it? So don't blame him. It's not his fault. It's a fault of the way how to teach a language of our country.
Xav-S2000, I've had my Spa Yellow (first one sold in Palm Beach County {December 2000}) AP1 S2000 for 18 years now, and I never knew exactly how fast this S.O.B. could be until I saw your set up. What fantastic mods and what UNBELIEVABLE driving skills! You should be driving stunt cars for Hollywood! Thank you so much for making and posting this video. It's the only vid on RUclips that I can't watch while eating. : )
GTR is like pardon me just coming thru
Simple Skyline who gives a shit about gtr? Its an ugly pice of shit
it isn't but we can't all like the same ahahah it's still one of the best cars ever created :D
Dimitris Galanos cmon now GTR is nice looking car.
no man its ugly for me at least.... my kind of car is a m3 e92/f80 or a nice Italian designed Ferrari-lambo-pagani etc..... I love all Italian cars
Simple Skyline That statement gave me cancer...
What the hell is wrong with Honda? Why not just sell this car with a revised engine like direct fuel injection and minor tweaks and revised aluminium chassis?
Instead they have ruined the nsx with a car that made Senna roll over his grave and made the Type-r hot hatch unobtainable. Just keep shit simple, like this but improved with new tech...
Whyyyyy, this car here is glorious
Blank check from mazda to honda....with a memo, "please stay out of our market in entry racing".....Honda is so far from regular Joe racer....I think the SCAA makes entry level race cars....though is strictly for track...
just a note that while manufacturer racing is fun...it becomes what F1 is....racing is better when it's about the drivers....to the point of only a couple of cars available on the cheap for the track.
This car (S2000) has collector written all over it....a rare thing for such a cheap car....but peeps that like em love em!!
oh and of course Skip Barber series (formula 2000) for those getting serious on the cheap.
Driver7 exactly what i'm thinking why does today's Japan manufacturers trying to give their cars a supercar look like r35 or 370z? I never get it...
They were going to make a new S2000 then the Twain floods happened which messed up a lot of business that side of the planet. Once they recovered that power station blew which really messed up Honda's production. They are now fully dependent on American and the Europeans design which really only cater for selling to the older market.
An amazing car ... an exceptional pilot ...
僕は日本でS2000 TYPE Sに乗っています。TYPE Sではエアロによる安定性、アンダーステア寄りのセッティング、さらにはトラクションコントールが付いていて僕のような初心者にはうってつけの車です。ですがあなたのようなスーパードライバーの運転するAP1には敵いません…素晴らしい映像をありがとうございます🙏
Thank you for the compliment from France.
No helmet in a convertible on a race track, seems safe.
helmet is to prtect the brain,you don't need one if you don't have any!LOL
If he lands on his head he’s cooked either way, helmet or not
Probably not even wearing a seat belt xD
Especially seeing the driver wearing racing gloves and helmet 😆
going that fast in a crash the helmet isnt going to save much
You're an hell of a driver dude.
DUDE!!! Entry speed, sick. Powering out of turn, sick. You are driving the hell out of that s2k!! Great lines too.
The corner speed that this car can carry its masterclass. Masterpiece of engine . Masterpiece of car . Honda S2000 one of the greatest car ever made in my humble opinion
Nice drive a very balance car. Good job ;)
The driver is fucking know how to drive a car. *clap*
7:18 is the most epic thing ive seen. that slide and counter steer
yeah, thats nothing special, its called a drift 😂
Short wheel base, 50:50 weight dist., front-mid engine layout.
High speed, cold weather, elevation change, passenger.
Ran up on curbing mid drift, full lock, perfect recovery.
One of the best real life amateur racing drifts I've ever seen.
what do you mean? non car fanatic here just wondering
That this car is really hard to drive at speeds like this. You can see, that the car is always trying to oversteer in the turn. S2000 is really deadly and it needs to have some skill to drive like this on the edge.
5:53 Thats what i call skills
S2000 is always tail happy if you gas it around a corner...
7:19 This bit i think is even more impressive than the one you pointed out
5:53 on purpose, 7:19 counter
Oh yea!
@@alexandrion2876 7:19: That one was clearly a recovery from a bit too much enthusiasm. That' will tighten your sphincter every time!
"Don't worry, my driver has a helmet"
4 cylinder 2.0L! wow! I respect the S2K.
Then the boss showed up "GTR".😂😂😂.
Poor bmw🤔
Nice-oscar it's probably tuned.
I thought these where 2.2 ?
@@Th3_0_h8 those were the later versions, the ap2. America and Japan had those increased 2.2 (UK and others like received facelift ap1 -the 2.0l engine).
The 2.2 was made to produce more power and torque, however lost a bit of revs up top.
On the track, both engines are very similar, as the loss of power from the 1st gen engines make up for it with the few extra rpm, meaning staying longer in that lower gear...
This is a stock 240bhp AP1 2.0L - I own the same one, I can tell from the engine sound and gear shifting times its a stock s2k - if you want to know why a 240bhp car is able to beat the 420bhp bimmer I can explain
#goals
You are an EXCELLENT driver!
one of the best nurbo videos
great driver
fantastic control through corners and a lot of confidence in that car
7:18 jesus christ....
The only racing video I watched till the end. Almost made me feel as if I was in the passenger seat. Sitting with the driver like that makes you feel like there is nothing that can go wrong.
same here ✌
GTR IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL.
Gtr is for numbs, that cannot drive
Modified s2k outsmokes modified gtr anytime, anywhere, still on half the budget
@Ayy Yo you are a stupod dumbfuck yourself for thinking you can good gtr for anywhere near that price tag, go work some overtime pizza boy
@ Know a Peugeot 205 GTI cost more than a GTR dude so S2000 is the next
x Reach The Stars x if you think a gtr has a diesel then your pathetic
@ Oh stop fella. Every comment you post, you stick your foot further in your mouth....A turbo diesel engine? Lmfao...Quit while you're still visible in the rear view mirror.
I enjoyed every second of this video. amazing noise. Amazing driver. Brilliant car.
Great car, great engine, great driving skills!
Exactly what I was looking for
a good ole stick shift. Now we're separating the real drivers from the pack! 🍻
S2000 rpm range is pretty good... allows you to hold a gear through an entire corner after corners...
At 5:52 when he enters the corner a little hot and starts that tail happy S2k sliding, my man instinctively started to correct it then halfway through transferring the weight to correct the slide he decided to casually drift it on through the turn... AWESOME DRIVING 😎
The full throttle, full lock drift @about 7:23, right after passing the BMW for the second time, was spectacular. And they were both like, so? Wanna go. Wanna go there. Wanna go to Germany...🙏
My question is... Why on earth is the passenger NOT wearing a helmet?
Michael Tita because that pilot is to good for crash! XD just joking
Michael Tita Thats the very first thing I asked :-/
Crazy bastard, with so many amateur drivers around aswell... not cool, no clever.
Michael Tita because if they flipped...those helmets will not be saving either of them
b00stedrust And as everybody knows, flipping is the only thing that can happen on a track...
Because that what I was implying. fucking moron..
this car is brutal! What have I just seen, it flies with that 200hp!
I should also add that you drive like a pro!
240hp, and that's running stock. This one has a little more than that
Ricardo Carvalho it feels a lot faster on this video than 240hp, it's the low weight that makes it fly.
As a former owner of two AP2's the video at @9:14 was pure gold...good stuff
Imagine that same run but without the extra weight in the passenger seat.
Thinking the same thing
nah throws the left / right off balance...this driver is PRECISE!! ahahhaha
does it make that big of a difference?
Probably about 6% (2800/180) of the vehicle weight, maybe less.....that said my point about the right left weight balance maybe negatively affected...or positively. It's impolite to ask "does it make that big of difference?"....it all adds up...and yes 180 lbs makes a huge difference IF and big IF one can drive the car with perfect tire squeal...
I dont see how that is impolite, its simply curiosity.
Man,this is really fast!!!!Great driving skills,i enjoyed it a lot.The s2000 handles really great and the driver got balls!!Drifting in 3rd gear at the limiter in nurburgring???F@@k,this is awsome!!Thumbs up dude,really great driver.
Godzilla goes...gtfo out of my way btichess
What a great ride thank you you pushed hard the whole way. 😁
