Guys....Driver AND car....Excellent video....and just goes to show what a real hot hatch can do for under £30,000. The RS is an amazing piece of kit.....Well done to the German driver in a French car...lol. Thanks for posting this excellent vid....appreciated.
The Megane looked nicely balanced through some of the trickier, bumpy corners. I agree with the others that the driver of the Megane seemed to know the "green hell" better and that is always an advantage. I can drive the track in my mind knowing it so well, but when you don't know it perfectly it pays to back off a little because it can really bite you.
Vive la Renault.💪 Eine absolut super Linie gefahren, mein Respekt. Würde ich, als langjähriger Testfahrer/ Versuchsfahrer, nicht besser hinbekommen...😎
Also, you always had him where it counts - in the corners. He had power and Cx advantage and still you nailed him :) Anyone can step on an accelerator on a straight, but you obviously have skill.
You can say that about any car. the fact is, if both cars are stock (with exception of tires), then the Megane won that battle. The Megane driver was almost toying with that Cayman. Truly great driving.
Well done for keeping up with the more powerful Porsche. Both of these cars are beautiful and very much driver focused. Are both vehicles stock standard? Love the Renault.
We were talking about which car is better considering performance, not costs or practicality. I agree with You... On public roads it's almost impossible to use >350bhp in safe conditions, You always have to back of a litte bit, to have some margin for error. This one if really fast, even to fast for todays roads with speedcamers, unmarked police cars with radars, etc and still it's quite cheap to buy and run. Cars like Megane [and similar to it] are good options for most of people.
Incredible then... I am looking for a car for track days, still hesitating between two 2 cars (Cayman R PDK, Megane Trophy) + the Mighty R26R. The driver of the Megane Trophy seems really pro, if we put him in the Cayman R, will he be able to pull away from the Megane :)?
The megane is well known for its cornering capabilities but the Porsche pulls away so obviously in a longer straight. Anyway i think the cars are in two different leagues. Not that far away but different nonetheless. I think any non biased motorhead will agree.
both excellent driving, but that was freakn too dangerous close for me! did you see how many times the rear of the cayman was going slightly sideways? the cayman was at the traction limit of his tires !
Beautiful driving!! Is the Megane stock? I'll *never* doubt its abilities, but the darn thing is REALLY fast. I'm just wondering if it's been tampered with. Engine, tires, suspension. :)
touristenfahrer Danke für die Antwort. Die Runde war echt gut, aber irgendwie ist der Cayman R nicht aus dem Quark gekommen, aber es hängt denke ich mal viel von den driving skills und der Streckenkenntnis ab......Hast du die Micheln Pilot Sport Cup??
prozesswissen Der Fahrer des Porsche ist Wolfgang Kaufmann.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Kaufmann Ich glaube nicht, daß es da an "Driving Skills" liegt. So wie die Linie aussieht, war es für ihn mehr eine Spaßfahrt. Der Mann hielt jahrelang den Streckenrekord auf der Nordschleife mit einem Gemballa Porsche auf Straßenreifen mit 7,32 ... Ausserdem hat er schon mehrfach Top 10 Platzierungen in der VLN und auch im 24h Stundenrennen am Nürburgring gehabt. (war auch schon 2. beim 24h Rennen). lh6.googleusercontent.com/-cygd01brO6U/T6DhxapYoSI/AAAAAAAATa0/HDxTfQmB0L4/s720/DSC00020.jpg
rippchen0815 Insofern gehe ich auch sehr stark davon aus, daß es hier Michelin Semislicks waren. Richtig? Der Porsche ist absolut Serie und vermutlich auch auf Bridgestone Straßenreifen unterwegs als Renntaxi. Wenn der Mann ernst gemacht hätte, hätte das auch anders ausgesehen ...
Encore une fois la fameuse MEGANE RS montre sa supériorité sur circuit face à des véhicules plus puissants. Il faut dire que le conducteur de la RENAULT est sans doute un bon pilote alors que celui de la Porsche est un snob friqué qui pense avoir l'air supérieur. En fait ,il doit être vert de rage de s'avouer incapable de distancer une voiture deux fois moins chère... C'est toute la différence entre un vrai pilote et un trouducul.
Je te trouve (un an après) un peu dur, si tu avais les moyens de te prendre une Porsche, une Mercedes, une BMW, irais-tu chez Renault? Ne peut-on pas aller sur circuit sans pour autant être un pilote? Ce monsieur qui a les moyens cherche juste du bon temps, tout comme ce monsieur en Mégane qui conduit plutôt pas mal.
Very nice driving. Also Cayman did good job blocking,but it is clear that Cayman is bit stronger so it is very difficult to overtake on a straight line,anyhow good driving both cars...
see what a beautifully engineered 30Keuros is capable to do to an overpriced racing car.... I would have the Megane any day, a very sharp car. Impressive driving, boy you know what you're doing
Okay, the Cayman did not get killed. It was slowed up by every car and bike on the ring until the driver finally made an error. The only kudos for the RS is that the driver took advantage at the perfect time.
Yes, because only Porsche were slowed up by every car and bike and Megane can drive through them. It worked for both of them. Also: You can see that Porsche is blocking Megane RS sometimes.
MI IMPRESION Y LA VERDAD ES QUE NO SE SI SEA ASI. ES QUE EL PORCHE TIENDE COMO A IRSE DE COLA EN LAS CURVAS, SERA POR QUE SU MOTOR VE EN LA PARTE DE ATRAS?
The Porsche drvier isn't bad at all, but looks like they might not be that familiar with the track... then again, it takes about 200 laps before you even begin to know the Ring.
***** According to Jackie Stewart who may have lapped that track as much as anyone alive, except maybe Sabine Schmitz, you never really get to know that track. Stewart also said it was his most despised track of all - but it was a job.
This is Sabine cleaning up the track... To me, it is obvious she knows it well... www.carthrottle.com/watch-sabine-schmitz-humiliate-every-other-driver-at-this-nurburgring-race/
The Megan RS is very impressive, and so is the driver. I don't think that the outcome would have been any different where the Cayman behind the Megan, as suggested. Porsche owner
Mes 2 voitures favorites...J'ai eut l'occasion de piloter une Cayman S sur circuit; c'est vraiment le panard...Mais la Mégane...C'est LA bagnole de course accessible pour mec qui sait piloter. Un jour j'en aurais une...
The cayman was faster in some straights yes, however the megane showed superior cornering ability. If that is chassis or driver capability of either machine or driver it cannot be fairly commented on without a test of both cars with the same driver. I think you would find on a wider track the renault would pass and leave the cayman far earlier but with all the traffic slowing them both down it was far more difficult. Slipsteam is not good for everything, braking for example..
Sorry guys. It is true, a Megane is much easier to drive quick. But the Cayman R just played a bit with the Megane for fun. The driver of the Cayman R held the record for street legal cars on Nordschleife for several years.He knows the track better than 99,9% of the drivers and had a lot of fun playing with this megane.Also had a passenger onboard and gave him a nice show ;) He was probably smiling as the Renault passed him.He drove relaxed to let the Renault keep up.
megane rs...une légende!
This was beautiful to watch 5 years on.
Good passing before Kleine Karusell!! FUN to watch :-)
Thx!:)

Very good driver in Megan, and a very good race. Real adrenaline rush!!!
Меган пожирает порше в поворотах,рено красавцы!!!!И тормоза не перегреваются!!!Отличное видео!
Ein Cayman R zum Frühstück :)
what a driving!!! and that renault is capable too.... NICE!
On this track, rider and experience are everything
Megane RS 2014 in 03.05.2012
In den Kurven und beim herausbeschleunigen aus der Kurve saugt er sich immer gut ran an den Porche ! Schönes Video!
Richtig gut gefahren! Hut ab hat mir sehr sehr gefallen, Respekt :) Da merkt man die Nordschleifen Erfahrung :)

Vive la Renault.💪 Eine absolut super Linie gefahren, mein Respekt. Würde ich, als langjähriger Testfahrer/ Versuchsfahrer, nicht besser hinbekommen...😎
EPIC BATTLE! Bravo to both drivers!
Beautifull driving !
I want to do something ridiculous, sell my scirocco R and get the new facelifted megane RS, am i crazy?
Nope.
my dad has one, it's fucking mental. grips like nothing ive ever seen. the LSD makes it feel like a go kart
Absolutely not!
i would have bought RS anyway. sick of VW,AUDI making boring cars for ponces.
Buy the new 275 trophy R =) Enjoy
Also, you always had him where it counts - in the corners. He had power and Cx advantage and still you nailed him :) Anyone can step on an accelerator on a straight, but you obviously have skill.
Brilliant driving from the meg
Einfach die Eier den Porsche in jeder Lange im Kofferraum zu Parken ^^
Großartig !
Komme bei jedem Video ins staunen !
Weiter so :)

The Megane driver was almost toying with that Cayman. Truly great driving.
bravo!!! amazing driver!!! and wonderful renault megane!
Masterful driving...impressive.
first class driving of a great car!!!!
RS the best !!!!!!!!!!!
Well done for keeping up with the more powerful Porsche. Both of these cars are beautiful and very much driver focused. Are both vehicles stock standard? Love the Renault.
Verdammt gut gefahren, Respekt ! Renault forever !
Impressive driving. Hardly an apex missed and very good gear shifting. Well done.
thanks!
Awesome race ! Very nice drive . The rs is very strong !
Fantastic driving well done
Trop fort!!!!!! Megane the BEST than ever!!!

juhu absolut geil gefahren !!!
Dir macht das aber auch einen Spaß ;-))))
das spürt Mann.....;-)
Very nice driving guys ! Thanks !
Ist der Megane RS mit der Serienleistung und Handschaltgetriebe unterwegs?
Ja! Den Megane 3 RS gibt nur mit Schaltgetriebe!
Das Fahrwerk ist von KW!
Die Reifen von Michelin!

Der Megane ist mit einem 6 Gang Schaltgetriebe und mit Serienleistung (265 PS) ausgestattet!
Es gibt den Megane auch nur mit dem Schaltgetriebe!
Ist der Megane Serie oder hat der mehr als 265 ps?????
That looked fun!
Fantastic effort by the renault. :-)
Nice video. Truly impressive. A question: is that the stock exhaust, or is it a custom (like Milltek for example)?
uuffff grande Megane RS!!
Great driver !!!
Nice video, good time.
Is the megane RS stock?
You drive gorgeous!
Is the Megane RS 100% stock? It sounds really fast...
Nice driving!
Geile lache ;-)
Is der standard?!
megane rs is a Beast in the corners!!
very nice driving, respect bro..
Les 2 sont de bonnes voitures, chacune avec leurs qualités .
Very good driving, oh yeah megane rs is olways the best on a track
A good car without a good driver are actually nothing .

Awesome megane rs cool!!
love this car
Very nice driving. Also Cayman did good job blocking,but it is clear that Cayman is bit stronger so it is very difficult to overtake on a straight line,anyhow good driving both cars...
Very nice, I have a Clio 200 running 270bhp 415nm would love to do a lap of the ring. Good vid also!
NICE DRIVER !
Nice driving guys... Appreciated ! I am running the RS RB7. Regards.
see what a beautifully engineered 30Keuros is capable to do to an overpriced racing car.... I would have the Megane any day, a very sharp car. Impressive driving, boy you know what you're doing
Although I agree the megane is a fast car (I have one) with an equal good driver the cayman will be faster as well.
Okay, the Cayman did not get killed. It was slowed up by every car and bike on the ring until the driver finally made an error. The only kudos for the RS is that the driver took advantage at the perfect time.
Yes, because only Porsche were slowed up by every car and bike and Megane can drive through them. It worked for both of them.
Also: You can see that Porsche is blocking Megane RS sometimes.
@@TheEazyE very true its been blocking the megane rs but the driver waited for the perfect moment to pass the cayman
tolle fahrt
Richtig geil!
Sir, very well done!
La classe mg !
the video starts at hatzebach and the track starts at döttinger höhe roundabout 1,5 min earlier so it fits !
bravo !!! excellent
Super video
how many hp in Megane? ^^
Have to say that Renault has plenty of punch ! Not as quick on the straight but handled superb, nice driving !!
whare is the rest of the video? :P
Renault..... the master of high speed cornering
great driving with megane rs, it is obvious that you are faster than porsche driver.
MI IMPRESION Y LA VERDAD ES QUE NO SE SI SEA ASI. ES QUE EL PORCHE TIENDE COMO A IRSE DE COLA EN LAS CURVAS, SERA POR QUE SU MOTOR VE EN LA PARTE DE ATRAS?
Goooood new Megane Rs is the best nice
Slick Tyres renault (y)
Much better driver in the RS
The Porsche drvier isn't bad at all, but looks like they might not be that familiar with the track... then again, it takes about 200 laps before you even begin to know the Ring.

klar!
wann bist du vor ort?
this megane rs is true hot hatch king.
Do you even race bro?
Super MEGANE!!!
The Megan RS is very impressive, and so is the driver. I don't think that the outcome would have been any different where the Cayman behind the Megan, as suggested.

Hi!
Stock Megane,
only Tyres: Michelin Pilot Sport Cup in 235-40-18
how is that possible???????? i want to nuy that renault right now!!!!!!!!!!
always faster on corners as it should be.. great megane rs
Ist der Faymann so schlecht von der Leistung. Oder der megane so gut....klasse fährt und hut ab..
Great video...
Great job! Killed a car with lots more horses!

7:37 isnt it a bit too fast? :)
