i usually don't bother to sign in to leave a comment, but I had to. That was one of the best automotive, motorsport related videos I've ever watched. The insane rpm's, the amazing driving by Misha, and the facial expressions by the owner. It had me laughing like a school girl. I love being subscribed to Misha for the talent, but the no bull approach to the channel, it's great, genuine, content. The passion is evident every time. I go through a lot of anxiety and depression in my life, cars and everything involved with them has been a passion of mine to try to escape it just for a little while, thank you Misha for existing, and to do what you do. It's a dream of mine to learn how to race, no matter how old I get, it's never too late. You're an inspiration. You motivate me to keep battling. To keep living. It's not just a trivial thing to race cars around a race track, it's much more than that, I really want you to know how much you help me, and I'd assume many others. Deeply thankful my brother. Godspeed.

I'm an emotional guy and i love to see an owner enjoying his time as copilot, you can see how much he's enjoying but most important to me, how he's recording the lap on his mind, watching every corner, following the next one, moving his head as he is driving, fuck i love to see owners more than just being a copilot, driving the car on their minds while Misha drives the hell out of the car. FUCKING AMAZING.

This is a great testament to why people love the high strung Hondas! Everything is dramatic and fun. Danny DC2 was racing an EP3 and he found that when braking hard, the car was more stable when he used engine braking and did not rev match. Also, he had trouble with rear toe coming out of alignment. I wonder about those things. I'm a wishbone Honda guy. I haven't driven mine in a long time, but this is inspiring. Awesome lap. I'd love to see a video from inside the EF as well.

Great on Luka for fully trusting Misha, especially when the brakes locked up twice. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is possibly my favorite lap I’ve seen of yours. Absolutely incredible.

What an incredible lap, Misha! I thoroughly stand by my previous statement, that the laps where you're really enjoying yourself are by far the most enjoyable and BEST to watch! Keep up the awesome work!

9:38 that high-speed switchback was f*cking flawlessly executed in tandem by both Misha and that second Civic driver. That was nothing short of pure artform!

Nice compliments around the 7:45-8:00 mark and 9:37. Really enjoyed the pure joy on Luka's face. Maybe because it reminds me of myself, but its rare to see you and the co driver enjoying a lap in for me such a beautiful way. Made me really feel like I'm also a part of it.😊❤

This is fantastic driving Misha , the heel and toe ,camera placement , the unique sound of k series at 8000rpm, remind me of the old best motoring vids with Motoharu Kurosawa , Keichi Tsuchiya , and Max Orido.

An absolutely incredible lap. Really pushing the car to the max. And a great tandem running ahead of you throughout.

Honda makes some GREAT out of the box cars and engines. EP3 chassis is incredible. I own an EP3, albeit an Si, but with some quality coilovers, and accomodating mods to the tie rods, ball joints, sway bar, and tires... It's a completely amazing experience. Spirited driving, on ramps (and off ramps sometimes), and nice roads will make your day.

INSANE! The left foot transition from clutch to brake on 10:05 while brake is pressed, love it. It took me 50% more time to watch this lap, cause I went back so many times to re-enjoy some sections!

The moment Misha started to shift faster and stopped talking, shows that he went into a serious racing mode :D

This car looks like a ton of fun, excellent driving. The sound, handling and powerband made this a very exciting lap to watch from start to finish, wow!

I think this was my fav video. This was incredible to watch wow. Watching the lead car fish tail, body roll. Full sending through corners and jumps. The ABS locking up and the sounds of the engine as you hit rev limiter. Incredible.

It's crazy to watch Misha slowly becoming like "keiichi tsuchiya" by years🙃.. And the tandem for civics was very fun to watch🚀

It was like a robbery escape scene in a great movie! I haven't watched such a tight track video in a long time, misha! Competition is at its peak and you've really pushed type-r to its limits.

absolutely awesome!!! I will watch this episode over and over again. man the b series and the weight really made alp the difference. so good

220-250hp is enough to have fun on track. Car can be push almost to the limit flat out. Good driving for both drivers. Nice video

But also seeing you properly focused, and giving it ALL of what that EP3 had to offer,now knowing what to expect with the locking brakes, and seeing your lightning fast gear changes and rev matching, i knew you wanted to do your best to keep up with that Civic as your 'team mate'. Videos like THIS one,are TRULY special!!!

This is your best video. So much emotion, not to mention hearing you banging those k20 gears while watching the EF dance in front... Come on, this is basically Hot Version but on a 10x longer lap :D
