This is how great memories are made.
And how great men are made 😊
well said
If you haven't suffered a bit then you haven't given you a chance to know yourself.
I imagine the tribulations are rougher when you're somewhat of a public figure
This is how PTSD develps
@@obtuseangler768I can only imagine.. so many eyes on you at once
I was the guy getting his copy of GT7 signed by all three of you. Gotta say I’m very happy for all of you for pulling of one hell of a job all weekend.
Was the coolest sh*t ever rooting for the team every single lap with all the ups and downs on Saturday and Sunday!
I've watched plenty of endurance races in history, but watching this youtube video gives me goosebumbs. You do not need a quick car to show the heart of endurance racing. The story you are telling, the highs and lows you have been through, the anger and passion is what makes endurance racing, endurance racing. Wow, Misha, Steve and Jimmy you've got something special on your hands
Came here to see if I wasn't the only one. This is near all of my Nurburgring viewing. Best wishes from The States.
This is one of the best videos you’ve made mate. It was genuinely like watching a suspenseful documentary. All I can say is that shit happens, doesn’t matter wether you’re on track or off. The character of a man is not judged by how he is knocked down but how he picks himself up and keeps charging forward. Great effort all round. This is why we watch your videos mate.
Amen bro so true
Congrats to the whole crew for finishing in the face of adversity.
Racing team mechanics are literal God's, the stuff that they can accomplish in such a short space of time is unbelievable. So proud of you and the team! Fingers crossed you get some luck next time though!
Glad we are getting the recognition 👍👍👍
@@jonesszzy5682Huge respect.
Outstanding team work.
I remember watching a rally car being rebuilt... after being launched in a river in an accident. There's a video on youtube, completely insane work.
Don't know which God you follow but must be human level
@@heisenberg9739 There is no other level. It's a human delusion.
Honestly, if you told me a few years ago that a bunch of youtubers/sim racers would take on the Nordschleife (of all tracks) in a proper race, in a proper race car, against proper pilots, I would have probably thought it was either a mental proposition or a marketing stunt.
I have to say, you all did an impeccable job. If you think about it, none of you really made a single mistake, everything that happened to you truly was just bad luck, common racing incidents, mechanical problems or collateral effects from someone else's mistakes. You guys were clean, fast and composed at all times. Mad props to the 3 of you and to the whole team.
The thing I love most about this is how the racing spirit is very much alive. All the other teams pitching in to get a car into the race. Awesome stuff.
Everything else that happened "that's racing"
What a thriller of ups and down that was. Great job boys and great job team!
Man good on you for getting out of your own head after the crashes. I know how hard it is to bounce back from a crash and to do it as quick as you did is fantastic. Wish I could be there to support in person.
I can only imagine the stressful emotions after so much bad luck… doesn’t matter it wasn’t all your fault… anyone would be shaken, not everyone could get back in the RACE CAR. RESPECT 🫡
@@jonathanhansen7734 I can speak from experience: Hitting a wall will shake you, getting back in a car as quick as possible is imperative. Even if you only go out at 7/10th, you gotta get your legs back under you. The fact he did it this quick is unreal. The mental fortitude is no joke.
Holy production quality! This is a perfectly put together video. Great camerawork and b-roll, and of course, 3 great drivers :D
Came here to see if I wasn't the only one. This channel has become near all of my Nurburgring viewing. Best wishes from The States.
Your emotions, your story telling, the cut ins, made it feel like we were there living through everything with you. This might be your best video yet.
A story for the ages. Incredible effort all around!
The whole weekend was a massive succes Misha, even with all the broken bumpers and loose wheels. Jimmys stream had more viewers than the official (english) stream, and even there a lot of ppl in livechat where just there for you guys.
The marketing boys and girls at Bilstein should have a party and order some bumpers and wheels for next year in advance ;)
🎉
It was a monstrous effort not only from Black Falcon, but for you, Jimmer and Steve too. That was a baptism of fire, but I'm excited to see the next hopefully drama-free race!
So Bilstein, Black Falcon and Adrenaline Motorsport were awesome. To be honest, I think most of us already knew that. What we didn't know was just how amazing the three of you are together, as a team. Was fortunate enough to be on holiday at the time so I could stay up and watch the coverage, something that I'm never going to forget.
This is an amazing story. I’m so stoked for you guys regardless of the setbacks.
Big up to Bilstein aswell for putting the work in aswell. 🤟🏼
its has been the first time ive been at the ring for more than 10 years and i have to say it was unforgettable. also i was in the paddock after your practice crash...
meeting you again after the first time since the 2019 essen motor show and meeting steve and jimmy for the first time was amazing, thanks for the entertaining weekend! i will surely come back for another race and i will be there at the 2024 N24!
thanks for everything!
-Basti (Homie of Logan Cup Daniel ^^)
Your honesty is so enormous!! What a great story!!! Thanks for all and up to the next race
Unbelievable Misha, that must have been so stressful. Well done for pushing through, that took tenacity and character to get to the finish. You have the talent, you were just bloody unlucky.
If there's a certain amount of shit that absolutely needs to happen, might as well get it all out of the way in the beginning. Let's hope this is it and power through! 💪♥️
Congratulations to you and the team on a great result. Especially in light of all the challenges. I'm looking forward to your progressing to even more, and spectacular, results.
Keep your head up Misha, it's racing and stuff like this happens all the time. Massive applause for you your fellow drivers and the entire team and keep being awesome!
Ive spent the last 2 and a half years watching yoir content from hospital, as i have a rare illness. Your content has kept me going. I used to love racing before i got sick and was hoping to come over and support you guys for the race as a thankyou for getting me through these years. Unfortunately my discharge was delayed and i coulsnt make it. Good news is the myself, the staff and some of my friends pulled together to get me my forst ever sim rig so i can go racing again from my hospital room. Due to my illness ill never have the money to do it for real again even when i do get out, so this rig is going ro be great.
Once again thankyou for getting me through these years of bordem and hardship and i look forward to the next race and more content in general.
And that’s why Nurburgring is called the green hell. Awesome video as always Misha. Stay safe!
I was watching live during that first unfortunate incident, and I'm glad to see that everything turned out fine. I had a great time watching you guys persevere!
Massive shoutout to Black Falcon and Bilstein. Amazing work from the entire team.
Well done to you, Jimmy, and Steve for driving so dang well, for doing so much work. You’re living the dream, and a lot of us are living it vicariously through you.
Well done to all involved. This is racing. With over 40 years as a mechanic and sometimes driver , in Classics , Rallies ( including 3 Hong Kong to Beijing rallies ) , Touring cars, Formula cars, Gt3 , Gt4 cars, 24 hour endurance races and more , motorsports teaches you a lot about yourself, it's humbling many times . You make life-long friends and learn every time . Yes , the wins are incredible highs , but at times there are incredible lows . It's how you get through these times that you learn the most . This is the spirit of racing. It's not for everybody, but the people you meet , are many times some of the best people, because of racing.
Look forward to seeing you all back out there.
Hopefully ill make it to the ring sometime, would love to have you take me round it .
All the best for the next one guys and gals .
Nigel S .
Deep respect for keeping it going and for the honest video 👍
Bravo, želimo ti još puno utrka i uspjeha. Pozdrav od navijača iz Hrvatske 😊
Ima nas i visee
malo nas je al nas ima😁
Ima nas
od prvih dana 💪
Samo jako i hrabro!! Ima nas💪💪💪
Big props to Bilstein and the other teams for stepping up, and keeping the race up
The whole crew and drivers did great
That's racing... isn't it wonderful!
I'm looking forward to seeing your next race
Everyone crashes. Winners never give up. Living the dream Misha. Never stop.
Laughed my ass off when my goofy face appeared on screen having my photo taken with the three amigos @11.40. What a great event to witness in person, and can confirm Misha is every bit as friendly and down to earth as he is on screen. 👊
Misha, Jimmy & Steve honestly couldn’t be happier when I heard that this team was forming, literally having subscribed to all 3 & been watching your channels for a while now it is awesome to see the dream team in action. Inspirational stuff, it looks like you’ve all been working really hard, including your team & seriously wishing you all the best in your journeys.
Thank you 🤓
Huge congratulations for the determination and drive to finish
Great weekend. More to come!
you are as unbreakable as the car has been, still going for it even after all this sh*t 💪🏻 😎
Incredible, so cool to see, excited for the next adventures with the 3 of you and the team. Congrats on finishing the race
The whole weekend was such a rollercoaster. I was glued to the Bilstein/Doorbent Livestream on my Laptop, while having the Official race stream on my TV. I had a window with live timings open... Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!! What all of you acomplished that weekend was insane. Yes the Bilstein/Blackfalcon team where fighting to keep the car in the race, but you guys did too. And what a sight to behold it was. It was one of the most entertaining races i can remember. Loved every second of it.
Now... You Misha... You had a few crashes that got in your head. By themselves they where hard enough to just get back on the horse. But in your case you also have Meggy there now. You have everything to loose... And that, i bet played a big part too.
You fought as a lion. Those dark hours on the first day. You could feel on our end how you fought. And on day two, you had all odds against you. Fatigued and somewhat demoralized. Car acting all crazy. Yet you brought her home. Not just that, but actually P5! Wow!!!
You guys make an amazing team. And i hope to see many many more races with the 3 of you as a team. You are just as much a part of the team as Jimmy or Steve or the guys in the Pit are. This was the first 12hr Race. Well 2x6 but anyways... What you did was amazing. You had a few shares of downs... but they always come... And so do the Ups...
Can't wait to see more. 🙂
Greetings from Denmark
And thanks for an awesome weekend. 😀
Misha announces 4th driver just after making a video with Walter Röhrl. Illuminati confirmed? 👀
Haha no, that would be amazing, but he a) can only drive Porsche and b) doesn't want to
@@mgcharoudinI randomly rewatched the robert kubica m4 lap this morning, dunno why, cause i've already seen it 2 times. could that be a coincidence? hahaha
@@mgcharoudin
Hi MiSHA..
Us old 'fellas just watched your video of participation in 12hour Nurburgring.
WOW. talk about some great learning experiences hey?
Welcome to the REAL world of Motor Racing with its moments of "exhilarating Highs" !
👍😃👍...
and ego-crushing Lows
👎🥺👎
We old fellas thoroughly enjoy watching your video Misha.
Revives memories of our young days competing in national Rally & Touring Car championships of 1970's-1980's.💞
Whatever happens on the track makes for good Life experience when you learn from your mistakes & improve for next time !
👍😎👍
Our Ladies love seeing your Lady Meggi sharing your experiences too 💞
Take Care On the Track
ALL the Very Best Misha for you & Meggi in your life together... GODbless ✝️
You did your best Misha. These things happen in motorsport unfortunately. The team went above and beyond to make sure you all got to live out the dream bilstein has afforded you all. Keep up the work and can't wait for the next race
Most people just see the finish order or the pace difference and think that it's the whole story. He's just slow. But to face all the adversity with the car and the track and the incidents and misfortune and not quit and help the team to finish the race. THAT is the Racing spirit you need and embody and you should be very proud. If you had given up any of those times you had the opportunity, you wouldn't be a racing driver, but you powered through. Good on ya Mate. Great result and dedication regardless of the challenges.
Don't stop believeing in your dreams. And never give up. Always keep punish forward until you finally succeed. Excellent video❤
Can't wait for next NLS
Redemption Timeeeee :D
If you're not rubbing, you're not racing. Tremendous effort! Congratulations!
Nice work dude, shows great character to come through all that still smiling. Great team effort, Great individual effort too. Makes for a fantastic watch too love this
Fantastic effort all around. I'm sure everyone learned a lot. Congratulations on finishing your first race with the team bro.
Grazie.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Bro you gotta be more focused
Congrats bro and the whole team! for finishing the race against all odds. Great drivers are created like this. Best of luck for the upcoming 4 H!!
I completely understand your frustation, it was quite the weekend after all! Just glad that everyone is okay and that you guys managed to finish the race. Also big props to Bilstein for being an AMAZING team and supporting you guys all the way through, more companies should be like this!!
I love how detailed and honest you are. Everyone on this team contributes their own style and perspective, but it's really hard not to enjoy your videos more.
And I've been following all you guys for years now so there's no bias there. Was super pumped when you announced you would be racing here as a team. I had read between the lines and knew you were all working towards it, but for it to come to fruition is really something special. Super happy for you and wish you the best of luck in the future.
Amazing job considering all the circumstances! 🤯
Great emotions and great video as always 😉 Thank you for the insights!
That was a lot of unlucky moments, the never give up attitude from both Black Falcon and all of you was amazing! Hopefully the next one goes much smoother!
Awesome effort guys! All of the best for the upcoming races!
We're very proud of you Misha and your enthusiasm and bravery to keep on getting back up on that horse. Well done to the teeam, Black Falcon and Bilstein! Keep on doing your best, that's all you can do!
So nice to see team work. The name Bilstein resonates with me. Im 52 years of age and when I was in school some 40 years ago we use to follow rallying and Bilstein suspension in Ford Escorts were the name to be seen with in the Welsh Mountains.
It's astounding how you guys still finished the race. I am very, very excited to see you guys race again! My favourite trio :)
Keep on the great spirit you have Misha! Hope to see you guys on a podium very soon! Much love and respect from Brazil!
You guys did an amazing job! Amazing work in both races, you had just about everything thrown at you. Can't wait to see what you do with some better luck!
All the hardships and difficulties and yet you guys still pulled through in the end. Such an epic journey. And it's just the beginning of it. Great job to everyone in the team and to you guys! I'll certainly be looking forward to the next episodes of this adventure
Having been to a dozen or more endurance races (as a spectator), including blagging our way into the pits for a 24hour race at Spa, I am in awe that you managed to finish at all especially with the issues you had and worked through for all those high pressure hours. Just finishing a endurance race is an acheivement it itself. It truly is a team effort. I think for an endurance race this motto is perfect: "Never Give Up, Never Surrender"
What a story Misha, you're my hero! You and the entire team are incredible and you all really inspire me. Never give up!
I am so proud of you. Proud to all of you. Thx Bilstein. Thx guys. It was so hard but you don't give up. You are so AWESOME. ❤ from Czech rep.
This is just great, it only shows that if you have amazing people around you everything is possible. Keep on pushing Misha, you are doing a fantastic job and you are a big motivation for many of us!
First video I've seen from you pal, what an absolutely massive testament to your tenacity and perseverance. When many people would've curled up and wanted the ground to swallow them you stood up and pushed forward regardless. What a performance from all drivers, Blistein & Black Falcon. Truly up against it and still performing.
This is racing... Not much more to say. I was a team helper/mechanic (SSP 600 IDM, Yamaha R6 Cup and then again SSP 600 IDM) and later raced motobikes myself (SSP 600) back in the days and we had some quite "interesting" events. Its a hard job for everyone and you need to WANT to do this. Keep on living your dream! Its a waste of time, a waste of money, risking your health or even your life, but in the end its just pure passion and it really can be rewarding, Cheers
I know a lot of race mechanics, one for corvette racing, a few nascar guys, a few top fuel guys, a ton of prodrift support, and they all have one thing in common; absolutely savage mechanical skills, flawless team coordination, and a love for competition. Good effort despite the hiccups.
keep on going bro, you're doing fine, dont lose hope, just keep going for the fans and the Bilstein! BRAVO!
Dude! I had 15 years of bad luck at Daytona before I won a race there. Seemed everything that could go wrong, did. I feel your pain! You guys will get yours for sure! Perseverance pays M8! Keep trying man, it will get better I'm sure! Good luck in the next race! I'll be watching and rooting for you!
Awesome job guys, Love how you never gave up!!!
Awesome video! Nothing but badluck and in the end, the team and yourself pushed through pain to finish the weekend. Its like a drama which is awesome lol. Good luck on your upcoming events!
Wat een geweldige prestatie, Misha!
Nice to see you all push through and get a great result!
This literally is what I dreamt most nights when I was young and I’m sure for most! Absolutely incredible…the most amazing thing is how you teach frustration and remain focused and humble. Bravo 👏 looking forward to watching the next race
As a fam, I have to say we are so proud of you!! You've been challeging yourself and the car, and that's what being a driver is all about! Much respect
Epic story! Well done to the drivers, well done to Black Falcon with their miraculous feat of engineering and management, and well done to Bilstein for their gracious support and belief in the team. Congratulations to all for the fantastic 5th place in the end! I can see you Misha, actually full Slav with your squat style discussing the steering rack! Was also nice to see the lovely support ladies and their genuine relief and celebration in your successes! 🙏🌞💋
This is unbelievable, you guys are so talented, is good to see someone making this dream of a lot of us come true, very great ending and good teamwork, thats all matters at the end!
This is racing, the ups the downs, all of it. I have a background in Motorsport (nothing as cool as being on the ring) and can completely relate. Props for the transparency with admitting your mistakes (they happen to literally everyone) and for you as well as the whole teams resilience! Stuff happens and you can’t give up! Your team is stronger for having made it through this! Keep up the hard work, the results will follow!
My goodness M! Been watchin you 3 for years...from dreams being dreamt to becoming reality, congrats to you all!!!
Hard work always pays off. Its awesome knowing what happened on the race in detail, we were so worried 😅😂. Such great news you are racing this weekend 💪
This is the beginning of a hero , we love you and we support you and i really hope to take a hot lap with you in the nürbergring
The true definition of a team right here! Anything you can learn from is a positive Misha, keep on pushing forward.
That crash... So unfortunate. You can see Steve is pretty cautious and turns the car consistently. The way it snapped tells me tire/suspension failure and of course oil, like mentioned. I'm not an engineer but you see Steve is very calm with his steering at the moment where he lost it. I can't believe it was his input that caused it.
You all did an amazing job getting this far and you should be proud of yourself. You all started from being youtubers, just doing what you do, and you got here. I'm amazed and I follow all your videos like a season of my favorite series.
Thank you so much for this amazing content.
Great job given impossible circumstances! Your whole team is incredible!
Even though you didnt have a racing background, you are a true racing driver. Absolutely amazing job Misha, great job even with all these unlucky faults and crashes. Greetings from Romania, i cant wait to drive on the nordschleife one day!
This man is on fire! Great effort all around. Even greater story. Congratulations lads.
Truly inspiring🙏. I’m a sim racer and occasionally take my car to the track a couple times a year but for people like me it’s cool to see that maybe one day we can find our way out there.
On the edge of my seat over here, amazing story! Despite the odds, congratulations on finishing the race!
I work at a bmw specialist for body work and what they did in the time they did it is very impressive. Hats off to the team and others that helped. Makes me want to go work for someone like that too bad theres no race teams near me.
You did a great job dragging the car to the end, and mission accomplished finishing the race through it all honestly. I was there in the chat for those final stints when it was clear you were dealing with technical issues and I think most people there knew you were dealing with something out of your control. And now for all the other races you don't have to worry about what you'll do if everything goes wrong, because it sounds like it already did!
What a journey. Great work, guys! Love this kind of videos 🙏💙
congratulations, well done! i happen to just stumble upon misha a week ago and i get to experience this?? amazing and thank you for sharing.
Great stuff and keep pushing Misha!
that's crazy about how team spirit can do anything, congratulations Misha, you did a crazy race ♥
It was fun to watch! I hope you will have some even better races and memories down the road
wow what an amazing story mate! this has been a dream for many people to watch you guys do this and you all gave it 100% and we love you for it misha!
This gives me a lot of hope Misha! Thanks for this I want to be in your position of racing eventually.
Misha you are looking better than ever! Saw an old video of yours yesterday, watched this after and the difference is big
Talk about trial by fire. Amazing effort by everyone. Bilstein parting out their car was such a classy act, gained a fan in me haha. The weird spin you had looked very similar to guys spinning on oil at this track, car's not gonna had insane oversteer in all of a sudden (specially with BilsteinUS's awesome parts on it ;). I am VERY much looking forward to all of you racing on your next events; you'll be unfazed by anything thrown at you lol.
