Watching these videos of you driving on the Nürburgring makes me so happy. I had the privilege to go for a day and being from America truly was an experience. There was a small Porsche cup series happening, but it was not televised so tickets were only two euro and we were allowed down into the pits in the viewing area between the pits and the main street. Such an experience to hear 30 to 40 extremely loud flat six variations going flat out and downshifting right at the end of the pit lane. Ah the memories!
God, I ❤️ this car. Out of all of Tim’s cars, this is it for me. I’m actually buying a AMG GTS because of his videos of this car. I never knew the AMG GT existed until I watched a video of his with his Black Series. Which put me down a rabbit hole in which I realised I could afford a GTS. So thanks Tim. 😉
Ahh glad to see the beast back also just recently received my top fan badge on Facebook for your page! Keep up the brilliant content big fan of mercedes! 🇬🇧🇩🇪
Shmee150 Awesome Video I think it's absolutey hilarious that you did a few laps on the Nurburgring GP Track in the pouring rain and I hope you get a chance to go out before you leave Nurburg
Most collectors have Garage Queens (looking at you Manny Khosbin)...... Your collection is Track Kings (just the way it should be).... ...massive respect for that Shmee, keep the vids coming, we'll keep watching..
Weather like that should only help sharpen those track day driving skills and make you appreciate what it can do in normal dry conditions. Perhaps you need a all wheel drive schmee mobile for these occasions! It was fun to see tim, who is a very competent track driver on dry conditions, do in the rain. Props for even trying to drive a 800 plus hp racecar and still push the limits. You are a very brave individual! Thanks!
23:35 wow those are some real balls to go 200 kph in those conditions. Its amusing to see this absolute missile of a car struggle so much for any sort of grip, i ve never visually seen just how much slower rain can be. (ofcourse very dependent on tires)
Any good ceramic coating for glass works wonders. I use an SiO2 glass cleaner a friend of mine supplies and i don't even need my wipers in heavy rain when driving at motorway/highway speeds.
@@S.ASmith I would guess rain-x is even less expensive the ceramic coating which is trending nowadays…. I use rain-x since 1992. I agree, no need of wipers above 40km/h
Fair play for driving in those conditions, on those tyres! I hate to say it, but I had Top Gear vibes - when Clarkson was hooning the M135i and it snapped on him in the rain ans in a straight line, watching you go down the home straight!
Hey Shmee, as always, amazing content. Can never have too much GT BS content. As was recently unveiled, are there any plans to look into a 718 Spyder RS?
@17:30 I thought you were going to say ‘ the gt black series one of the fastest cars you can drive around this track, is being beat by a 200hp Ford Festa ST😂😂
Nope!!!!!!!!!!! But Ill give Brad props for sitting through the editing i probably would have broken my pc lol Just kidding awesome video as always shmee. Love the content!!!!!!!
Might seem like a silly question, but does owning these types of high end vehicles ever become pedestrian? Or do you think ‘How cool is this’ every time you get into them?
Bro, I have pilot sport AS4s on my grantirismo, front mid engine, rear wheel drive, Pennsylvania US, snow, sleet, lots of rain, they’re sick! 14’ rooster tail of water at 100mph. It’s like formula 1 rain tires!
5:02 Thats a weird number plate, is an Irish reg, but yellow rear plate and not showing up in the data base.... But I see CD sticker above the plate, a Irish diplomat vehicle maybe?
I tell you you have some balls running that car around the track in the rain. But the car is definitely showing you what it can't do in the wet.. be safe pls! See you on the next one..
Maybe it would have helped a tiny bit if you actually would used some of the aero capabilities the cars has… so front splitter pulled forward and high downforce on the rear spoiler… i mean it would still be wet but maybe a bit easier
Great video ( again ) Was a bit random to see you follow a Sprinter Van on diplomatic plates onto the Eurostar I bet that’s as rare a sight as your flying banana 🤷♂️👍
I consider myself quiet the car guy, but if i spent ten hours driving for a full rain track day i probably wouldn't be as enthusiastic as you are here.
ive never seen you laugh so much on a track day Shmee, laughter is contagious, i loved watching the uncontrollable laps 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It was genuinely hilarious!

Definitely some of the funniest laps I’ve experienced😂
Brad should have sped up the film to make tim look better just can't get the staff 😂
That is very right aahah
The smiles make the slow speed worth the views. Brad adding an editors note about you making it impossible to edit was a highlight.
Love it Tim, great to see the AMG back in Europe! You'll have to bring it to Asia next, maybe where's Shmee Japan edition!! Now that would be cool!!!
God, I ❤️ this car.

9:57 That's not just a 959, that's a 959S (1 of 29). I believe you can tell this because the S variant had no passenger side view mirror
Ahh glad to see the beast back also just recently received my top fan badge on Facebook for your page! Keep up the brilliant content big fan of mercedes! 🇬🇧🇩🇪
You legend, thank you!
I’m laying on the floor a bit under the weather, but watching this video makes my day! Thank you Shmee!
Great trip in foul weather. Amazing performance on the GP track. Keep the interesting videos coming.

Driving in slippery conditions is always great practice!
This is an absolutely an amazing car and many more memories and miles to come
10:00 Nerd time: Red, white wheels, only one mirror - thats even a 959S.
The miles completed in your AMG GT is crazy, love this car and the content on it. 100% the highest mileage GT Black out there.
This car has seen a lot of awesome places, crazy 🔥🔥
It's what it was built for

Haha good to see the video out!!
I was driving the supra, honestly it was so slippy was a very tricky track day! cup 2s with that power, mad
17:00 its my Fiesta ST 😂❤ very nice Day and your car is awesome 💪
The ending photo is absolutely stunning. Hopefully ended up framed up somewhere.

I admire that car's performance and angry bee/hornet style looks
not everything black & yellow looks like a bee or a hornet lmao
You should coat your windshield with Rain-X it is so much better/comfortable to drive under rainy conditions. 👌🏼
Any good ceramic coating for glass works wonders. I use an SiO2 glass cleaner a friend of mine supplies and i don't even need my wipers in heavy rain when driving at motorway/highway speeds.
@@S.ASmith I would guess rain-x is even less expensive the ceramic coating which is trending nowadays…. I use rain-x since 1992. I agree, no need of wipers above 40km/h
His not scared to send it one bit love it 😂
AMG: can I rest please
Shmee150: Nope.
I love the content
It's all go, go, go with this one!
@@Shmee150 Lets Go! My fav car in your collection

😂😂 brads editing is awesome
Another great video once again brilliant content for the channel 👌👌
Thanks for the support!
Are you coming to the motorworld Munich for the Myle Festival?
Loving my daily Shmee video
Hey Shmee, as always, amazing content. Can never have too much GT BS content. As was recently unveiled, are there any plans to look into a 718 Spyder RS?
Let's see
That was great fun. I think Shmee enjoyed it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude Youre a maniac in the best ways!
@17:30 I thought you were going to say ‘ the gt black series one of the fastest cars you can drive around this track, is being beat by a 200hp Ford Festa ST😂😂
Its my Fiesta 👋🙈
Unreal car.
The Black Series is just an awesome car for a daily
Loved the lando Norris Russia GP reference. That still hurts to this day 😢😢
At least you are having fun on the track
Cheers for the video mate 😎 👌
Are you going to code away the active sound/sound generator or are you going to keep it in?
Might as well just leave it at this point
When are we going to see the Zenvo on the track🤔
Mans just crazy, big respect tho!
Legend, pure legend
Waiting for a JAPAN tour with the gt black series
Was so funny seeing the focus RS just pull away from you so fast 😂
Got not even 10 seconds in and I was already super excited to see what happened. Great work Tim. Truly no garage queens.
At a poor day at the track is better than a day at the office 😃
Shmee come to Montenegro again,you are welcome always!
😮safe. Travels. Ok?!!❤
Early today shmee. living the dream my man.
Nope!!!!!!!!!!! But Ill give Brad props for sitting through the editing i probably would have broken my pc lol Just kidding awesome video as always shmee. Love the content!!!!!!!
Might seem like a silly question, but does owning these types of high end vehicles ever become pedestrian? Or do you think ‘How cool is this’ every time you get into them?
one track worth trying in South Africa is the Kyalami Circuit
This is 100% the highest mileage gt black series in the world, respect!
Working on it!
Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏻
Bro, I have pilot sport AS4s on my grantirismo, front mid engine, rear wheel drive, Pennsylvania US, snow, sleet, lots of rain, they’re sick! 14’ rooster tail of water at 100mph. It’s like formula 1 rain tires!
One question Tim. Is there any news on your upcoming Ferraris; specs, etc. thanks!
There will be really, really soon!
@@Shmee150can’t wait! Thanks for answering
Brad, great job!
I like that comment “yes I’m an idiot “ 😁😁😁😁 most of us would be at your place 😁😁😁
5:02 Thats a weird number plate, is an Irish reg, but yellow rear plate and not showing up in the data base.... But I see CD sticker above the plate, a Irish diplomat vehicle maybe?
My dad texted me today that he saw you :) he was driving his 991.2 GT3 there
Are going to visit the circuit of Zandvoort in the future ?
That was fun to watch 😂
I tell you you have some balls running that car around the track in the rain. But the car is definitely showing you what it can't do in the wet.. be safe pls! See you on the next one..
Unfortunately, it is supposed to rain there for the race this weekend as well.
Definitely a good day to wrk on car control. And learning and feeling all the feels the cars gives in the wet ❤🎉🏁🎮🏎🏎🏎👍🏾
Funny to see the front tires are hotter then the rear. Shows how badly it understeered 😂
Ah. My favorite car of yours!
Makes me want to go for a drive in my subaru 😅
I assume you have the front splitter fully extended and the rear wing on the steepest angle for maximum downforce?
Maybe it would have helped a tiny bit if you actually would used some of the aero capabilities the cars has… so front splitter pulled forward and high downforce on the rear spoiler… i mean it would still be wet but maybe a bit easier
Here for the Cheers 🍻
You got them!
Great video ( again )
Was a bit random to see you follow a Sprinter Van on diplomatic plates onto the Eurostar
I bet that’s as rare a sight as your flying banana 🤷♂️👍
Is om still around? Did you guys just drop the other channel?
I do love the BumbleShmee!
It's quite the car
always great videos shmee
Thanks for the support
Question if could what does it cost for the Nuremburg ring
This has to be so stressful! Good stress, RIGHT?
Hey Tim, what are your impressions on Potenza Sport tyres?
Wow quick glass change considering, but I guess when you buy a new merc every year helps.
Can you drive some other cars Tim? I love the GT Black Series but it’s featured on channel so much lately.
I've very specifically driven it over for a service and inspection at Opus, then it will disappear for 6 weeks before the next thing
I love the track day
I don’t know who films most of Shmee’s videos but they do a very good job 👍🏼
What event was it you sent on in the states?? I wanna go next time
that 959 was ruf, from ruf himself
Love how he broke his neck For the focus RS
Absolutely, I also own one!
@@Shmee150 I know 💗
enjoy from Zimbabwe
Go Shmeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
Seal your windscreen (Rain-X etc) - you won't need to use the wipers as much
What happened to TVR Griffith. It's been almost 4+ years we heard anything about it? Did he cancel the order? Would be interesting to know.
You sir are in love 🙏🏽
How do you get to the us and Germany with your AMG gt with the UK plate?
Proper paperwork
Seems like your expierience as a ski instructor pays of.
OMG I just saw you 0230 junction 23 M25 very nice car!!!!
I consider myself quiet the car guy, but if i spent ten hours driving for a full rain track day i probably wouldn't be as enthusiastic as you are here.
The Nürburg drift. lol
Wonder what a TVR Tuscan or T350c would have been like in those conditions…
Literally undriveable. No driver aids.
@@mrtriple2414 precisely
Shmee needa jump his cars at this point
You should drive it on Zandvoort
