Really... I was thinking: “If only he could do it properly, I can only imagine what it would have been like instead of the time it took to rev the engine”... And he really did at all times (don't forget the throttle). Incredible driving skill... Incredible aero, incredible brake, incredible weight, incredible car....😍

Real question for folks in this thread. What would have a non-fixed seat done to allow better heel toe shifting for Misha? It looked like to me that the real problem was the pedal position and box? It reminds me of current BRZ pedal situation. Brake too far from gas to rock his foot to blip, and not enough room on the right of the gas pedal for a wide swing of the heel. (I'm doing an endurance race this weekend, my first in a long time and I hope that the BMWs pedal situation is good for heel/toe)

@Henry.25

Ай бұрын

​​@@ragweedmakesmesneeze yeah. The problem is the difference in the pedals heights, but If he could adjust the seat, he would be able to alleviate some of the discomfort from the position of his leg. Because Misha apparently doesn't have his foot supported by the heel, so his leg is unsupported, dangling, which is painful to maintain for long periods of time lol I would prefer to place my seat forward and have a place to “rest” my heel so that I could press the gas and brake without needing to move my heel out of place and then adjust my lumbar back, so I can have better arm space. Thus making a better position to drive for longer periods of time. I hope that makes sense, I don't know the correct terminology. Btw, I'm not a pilot or anything, so maybe everything that I said is completely wrong. 😅 And the only manual car I have has floor mounted pedals, so doing heel and toe is much easier.

While the Speedster was built I wanted to buy one. Unfortunately the local Opel dealer was treating my wish as the request of an unworthy subordinate to his majesty. This made me end up not with a Speedster but with a Caterham Seven. Which in retrospect was the much better choice in terms of driving fun.

Wow, what a great lap! Absolutely loved the Opel! Thank you, Misha, for bringing back the feet cam.

Just a fantastic car! Light, hard, fast, good sounding. Quite the opposite of the most recent cars in the market…

I love the supercharger whine. It's not as intoxicating as the Hellcat supercharger (in my opinion), but it does sound really cool.

I’ve watched your channel since the early days and this is in my top few favourites. Great lap.

Ive watched many of Mishas vids but this is my favourite so far. What an absolute belter of a car, truly amazing lap 👏 loved it 👍

compressor goes weeeee! lovely lap, every time impressive how quick misha picks up the pace so quickly with (and pretty extreme one in this case) unknown cars

It reminds me how much I miss my Speedster Turbo... Great lap!! This car is glued to the ground

you can see his happiness throughout the entire lap. Awesome work

I saw the thumbnail of this video on your community post, and I’ve been waiting for it all week. Epic video

This car glues to the track on corners. Nice job, man!

Yes! Yet another Speedster/VX220 on the ring! Love it!

Such a fantastic chassis! I'm glad more people build it!

I got to drive one of those one day at work. M600 I believe. First thing I noticed was how good it stopped! 100-0 in like 100’. It was incredible but accelerate wasn’t that crazy for race car. Damn thing would pull eyes balls out of head tho braking on the new pavement. Great content your fun to watch drive. Good video too

Fuck yeah you wrung every last bit outta that machine. Animal lap man. Bucket list to get there for a lap.

😂😂😂😂 the passenger did not blink for the whole ride, I just saw his eyes move, final remark to Micha do you think your drive faster 😂😂😂😂 man your legend

Misha drove this beast like he stole it! Really good driving! Loved it!! ❤

The little Vauxhall was punching well above it's weight 👍🥊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Now that's a proper track car.

I grew up on a junkyard, so some of my earliest memories from age 3 onwards, were memories of racing, my go kart around the dirt track that we had on the land! I swear I could do this all day long every single day of the week !!!! Learning to race at age 13, all of the things that I grew up as a child doing seem like they were "meant to be" but unfortunately, I came from poverty and.... Never got to do I should have been able to?

Very enjoyable to watch!

8:18 that rumble on Karussell priceless

I would love to see Misha in a Donkervoort F22! 🤞🏻✌🏼

That's one of the best sounding 4 bangers I've ever heard.

The foot cam is back, thank you so much Misha.

What an exciting run! Sometimes Misha seems like he is just chilling but he was working this one

Fantastic! Could see the side pulling so strong, great grip! Wondering if those seats are not slippery?

Adoro il suo modo di cambiare marcia , super conservativo con la frizione nessuna fretta tutto preciso

Woah, what a well sorted little machine. It looked like it could handle quite a bit more power. It's already a little weapon but suspension, aero, and def brake performance are far from being challenged by its engine output. It's the opposite of the typical 2000kg big German car with a chip tune but otherwise stock. Sorting out all the other aspects and then bringing up the power is the best way to do it anyway.

OMG...😮 The sound 💪🏽💯❤️

Amazing supercharge sound! Very nice machine!

This is still one of my favourite cars since I was a kid and played NFS Hot Pursuit 2 constantly.

VX220, my favourite car to learn, tune, and drive in Forza games. Glad to see it's able to impress a pro like Misha too! Can't wait to watch the video.
