Reputation is damaged and peaope think, yeah that's because of his right arm, he is not anymore the same driver etc

I love the fact you, as an owner, aren't complaining about the cost of Robert full sending a car. I remember watching a video of some guy renting a Lambo and bitching for about 15 minutes because someone drove it to it's absolute limits.

I say this because his business model isnt set up for track rentals, Its set up for street driving. Where you dont incur the extra maintenance fees, So you can charge less and still remain profitable. Which is why when a customer wants to go to a track they charge extra, to cover those costs.

I’ve never seen a Beemer pushed like this… Kubica still has it. He was running down cars on the RING like they were standing still. He pushed that car to 10/10ths like it was nothing for him. There you have a formula 1 driver. I’d love to see Vettel, Hamilton, Kimi, Montoya or Alonso doing the same.

Thanks for the update! I believe that the conclusion everyone must reach is that: 1 - your m4 is an extremely tough and well engineered car. Withstand 750km of driving like shown in the previous video, going only through tires and pads is great. The wheel bearings I believe are perks of a hard driven track car. It happens. 2- you have very good pricing on that 12 lap package. Keep on with the great infformative videos! Cheers

I really enjoy how you guys just talk pragmatically from your experience and what the car has actually seen. Excited, enthusiastic, but no excess hype. I think this is pretty universal across professional, skilled, competent people with a lot of experience and passion for their craft.

Did anyone notice the unusual angle of Robert's right wrist on the steering wheel when he was driving the M4. His right arm was severely severed in his Ronde di Andora Rally crash in 2011 but it was saved and rebuilt over time by some amazing surgeons. He's a pretty gutsy bloke and I hope we see more of him.

Thank you for the effort of putting those timestamps in :D

This video should be mandatory to watch for all people saying Motorsport is pointless - Motorsport is exactly the reason we now have access to tech on a level allowing a mostly stock car to survive over 700km of track racing. That means that same tech will not go to bits while you're taking your family on a holiday trip. You can just use it and trust it and not worry about a 1000km motorway trip requiring anything more than refueling once in a while. And all of that thanks to racing and endurance racing in particular

That was super informative, loved the breakdown of broken down parts! Would love to see more F1 drivers in the M4 too. I'm sure some of the younger drivers that grew up with Gran Turismo would enjoy it very much!

Love it! So excited for the next chapter of this channel

Nice vid, good hearing you and Georges analysis on the car post Robert Kubica drive

There aren't any surprises here, and I think George shows that in his responses. Wheel bearings are consumable in any circuit use, and as you know the 'Ring is seriously vicious for those. You'd change them before a VLN race, wouldn't you? As for the brakes and tyres.. Doing that distance on 1.5 sets of tyres and still having half the pad left after 750km at near-race pace on such sticky tyres is testament to how well Kubica has managed the car. Thanks for sharing, but anyone saying the cars aren't strong enough is dead wrong. This is seriously impressive.

4:18 and onwards: I second that! Only time I've tried Nürburgring IRL so far was in july 2010 in a caged Suzuki Swift Sport (from RentRaceCar, don't think Theo und Heide runs it more, sadfully?) and 4 laps. First lap was OK, did some safe overtakings and had a feeling of hitting apex 90-95% perfectly for each corner and felt quite a quick lap on cool down from Döttinger Höhe. On 2nd and 3rd lap TONS of traffic! Porsches, Ferraris, the brand new LFA, BMW M4's, E92's and other cars with lots of power. Really, REALLY stressfull constantly having to look in your mirrors. Moreover a lot of drivers seemed not to be able to control the horse power. The constantly interrupted rythm led to some sort of nausea for me, having the thought more times just to park in the grass (though knowing that would not exactly be safety neither, ofcourse - hope ppl don't actually do that) until traffic cleared. Then I tooked a little break and picked up my girlfriend up for the last lap. She stated at least ten times that I should drive slowly, since she's afraid of speed. Before my drive, we had an instruction lap by old Theo himself (ACE driver!) in his Touran (must've been tuned), which made her seasick, sitting in the middle of the back seat- for me his instruction lap was all the money worth itself renting the car). But at lap 4 with my girlfriend in 'guest seat', the heavy traffic was gone, just normal traffic. Said to her that I felt the safest actually driving at speed, not having to look that much in the mirror. After around 30 x "STOP STOP STOOP" she finally relaxed at about Klostertal/Steilstrecke, and seemed accustumed to my driving. So I had my best exhillerating full gas ride between Wipperman throug Pflanzgarten right to Galgenkopf and no noisy sound from the passenger seat, just silence :-) Just this last section (and Theo's instruction lap) was all money worth it, desipite only enjoying less than half of the total distance behind the wheel. And that was in 2010. Now we have 2020 and I imagine it has gotten only worse with heavy trafic, mainly due to all the YT channels and videos which inaugurates new drivers to the track. I've watched (read: admired) Mishas videos the last three years or so and I see a lot of traffic indeed during TouristFahren. So the last couple of years I've had the thoughts to re-enter the track, maybe in a car with more power, but everytime I've have bad thoughts about increasing traffic. ...OK, no...I HAVE to go there again :-)

Theo and Heide focus more on Ring Taxi business, but they still do some rentals. I want an instruction lap from Theo 😳

@@mgcharoudin Ah yes, I discovered their old web domain redirected to RingTaxi. But first of all I'm very delighted to hear they are still among us ❤

great analysis! good luck Apex!

Actually a really interesting insight on the aftermath! Love videos like these 😁

Great video, I like the "breath of fresh air" that the videos get, like they used to. And as for the m4, what about temperature problems? has anything changed in the cooling?

It's all good!

Did I get it right? Basically kubica is nearly as fast with the m4 than a Senna with a normal driver sending it? :)

Stock BMW M4 should go about 7:52 about the ring and M4 GTS was 7:27. So he was faster than that, sure there were some mods (weight, tires) but still it's impressive.

@@AlphaTVyt pretty sure they have decent roster of test drivers and just as big roster of racecar drivers. Keeping someone like Kubica or comparable in stock car for lenghty testing would be a waste of money for company and time for driver.

What an insight you have presented! I enjoyed every bit of it :) Thanks!

Great video Misha! Very cool to know about the car and wear and tear after har driving! Keep it up!

Misha, I knew that as a race driver yourself that you were not scared, but enjoying every second of your ride with Robert. Would be interested to know greatest things you learned by this spectacular experience?
