The car doesn`t need a driver anymore. It has done so many laps that it finds its way alone ...

This guy is so smooth! and minimal brake inputs. He's ready for endurance racing

Smooth. VERY smooth. Smooth inputs to all the controls, smooth line on the track. Not beating up the car at all, yet turning some serious speed, anticipating two or three corners forward at all times. This is how you do it. Thanks as always for sharing, Misha! -Ed on the Ridge

The fact that the car is used so much is mindblowing. Congrats to the owner!

That has to be the smoothest Porsche in the world. No drama. It just hopped along happy without any issues.

I see Porsche. I click. I am a simple man. I love your vids Misha!!

Now that was some seriously relaxed, soft and fast Porsch´ing from Nick-Sensei . Thank you very much, Nick and Misha !

950 laps on the ring. I'm sure he can drive around blindfolded. Great driving 👍👍

I'm sure the engine, gearbox, suspension parts have been replaced many times, but still getting surprised that the chassis still strong enough to hit on track!

What a nice and relaxed lap! By no means slow, but very controlled and precise on the spot. You can really see what a experienced driver with a well build car is capable of!

What a great lap in a wonderful car. I really liked the mature driving style with smooth throttle control and minimal gearshifts. It's easy to see there's a few hundred thousand k's on the driver too. 👍✌️

Fantastic car and Kudos to Nick for being funny and awesome. Thank You Misha for the usual quality content

That Renault 5 story 😂 poor car tho

Man that was SMOOTH! lovely lap, looks like he's just cruising along👌

I love the gear ratio on this car, it's like it's meant to be driven on the ring. The owner drives so smooth too

That is a very quick 996 - the acceleration out of the corners is very impressive - and very smooth.

That was one of the smoothest drives that I've seen around that track...!

Masterful driving, perfect 8/10 pace. Man, machine and track in perfect harmony.

What a car. What a build. Amazing passion on this dude.

He's spent roughly 25-26k euro ONLY for entry on Nordschleife. Wow. Just WOW.

Lessons learned: instead of buying every new Porsche that comes out, taking a huge hit on your “old” one, keep your own and track it more 🙂

Great driving. Nice and smooth, obviously plenty in reserve 👍🏼

I had a mildly modded 996 GT3 including a Manthey K400 upgrade. Great car and much missed. This is my dream GT3, a 996 with a 4 litre engine. Great driving.

So smooth driving. Must be a pleasure to just sit there and enjoy it!

Вот это прям кайф! Какое отношение к авто. Какое вождение! Спасибо Миша за видео!

Proper lap, composed and tidy. Very nice to watch. I've just discovered your channel. Suscribed.

listen to that super responsive engine, feels like I'm watching Nick's right leg controlling the throttle. Awesome video!

loved the 996 ever since i was a kid watching the scene from gone in 60seconds where they steal the 911 from the showroom

3rd engine, good lad ! Always liked the 996 variant & this tidy example shows it's class well !

Your videos have something special. Can’t put my finger on it, but your videos are the most exciting to watch compared to dozens of others recording laps I’ve seen. I feel like I’m in the seat! Maybe it’s your handheld camera work shoot eye level which provides authentic movement compared to a fixed rig. Whatever the formula is, Keep up the great work! Also really appreciate you laying out the costs involved in other videos.

Supernice bloke, great driver. The Egg headlights are somewhat the same as what Subaru did to the Impreza back then. Different, but not fugly. Nicer than nowadays LED headlights for sure. Oldskool boy talking here :)

Absolute legend ! Doffing all my caps at you sir

what a unit this guy is, i dont even have half that laps in Assetto Corsa on ALL cars combined

Nearly 300k track kms in a pornsche ? Achievement unlocked. What a legend. Sad to know about the Renault and his friend. GWS to the friend.

Love it! That's how you drive a car, race it, fix it, rinse and repeat.

I love this sort of romanticism and mechanical relation between car and owner. Love it.

He has a ton of experience, he is so precise. No drama is the best kinds of drivers. The tire squealing drivers may get one lap but try driving like that lap after lap good chance u crash eventually

I'm glad that i found this channel and subscribed.

smooth driving!

Misha you should got a lap with the blue Lambo,, that was flying 👀

Misha keeps finding this utterly fantastic analogue cars

I can keep up with that! Last time I did 277000km on the Hockenheimring with my Honda CRX and that with my first engine!

Man you gotta love that old flat 6 porsche sound

Very nice car and driving!

About 15,000km on the 4.0, so just starting to losen up . The .2RS 'box had less that 2K km on it when this was filmed. Still getting used to the way they work together which is why some of the down-changes are a bit mis-timed. Muscle memory is a bitch when it's been ingrained over 12 years!
