As a fellow disabled motorsports enthusiast, I love to see more people not caring and just doing what they like. I'd love to bring my bimmer to the ring one day,

If you're from Europe, just hop in that car of yours and go there. You have a car to enjoy that type of freedom, so if money isn't too big of an issue and you have a day or two of spare time, what's holding you back? Don't say your partner - they'll be fine ;)

So bad he only drive automatic only
Respect for the guy! Driving with such precision and with no fear of losing the grip of the wheel with such speeds.
I love how Misha has featured multiple '' disabled '' drivers, all in different cars but all so damn quick and skilled. This shows that you can do anything if you put your mind to it
I'm blown away by his skill. Respect sir!
With the means I have at my disposal, I'm stuck driving in sims, but it is so gratifying seeing these guys absolutely sending it! Thank you for featuring so many "differently abled" drivers.
I’m a disabled driver, no right leg after an IED in Afghanistan, I drive crossed up with my left foot only. Hand controls were not for me. It’s great to see other enthusiasts out there doing what we love. It’s tough sometimes not being able to trail brake, and I miss motorcycles very much, but it has made me very smooth in settling the car into turns.
I am a disabled driver too, actually a tetraplegic. I will be on the ring on 25/5 with my Tesla Model 3 LR 2021. Hope to meet you @Misha Charoudin.

Would love to!
Fellow chair user here! That was a brilliant lap! I want to go out for a ride with this man and see how he drives in person. I feel like it would vastly help me in my own motorsports pursuits to see how someone else with hand controls actually takes it to the limits. Thank you for sharing the experience Misha!
As a disabled person, I really love his setup, he has both hands on the steering wheel. With my setup I only have one hand at the wheel, which makes me keep a respectful distance to go over the cars limits otherwise it can get spicy on the steering wheel...
I’ve just found myself in the same situation after a bad motorcycle crash. Was wondering myself how I was going to drive again. Thanks for putting this out there. Nice driving fella ❤👍🏻

@@shrewsnose1 I agree the push pull systems are horrid for driving feel around corners as you can only really have one hand on the wheel. I use a suicide knob as well to be able to go lock to lock on the wheel easily and that helps a ton around town too. Most new cars these days use an electronic throttle hand control opposed to the fully manual linkage my van came with. There's one that I saw recently that's a ring that is inset of the steering wheel and connectors electronically so you can have your throttle control at your thumb tips and can keep both hands on the wheel. If I ever get the finances for a different car that's the control style I feel like I want.

The owner of the i30 N is a cool guy and a very skilled driver! I'm happy for him that he can enjoy to drive such an awesome car like it should be driven!
One of the rare disabled people i would call handicapable.
Jonathan is a brilliant driver, and a true gent! He took me for a pax lap in his 992 GTS in September and I was very impressed
What a tremendly CAPABLE driver! Mind blown!!! Truly inspiring! I hope he keeps doing trackdays because he obviously loves them! KUDOS to you Sir!!!
Love it I would go for a lap with this gent. 120mph and having a chat like going to the shops. Real nice to see another UK licence plate. I could not drive with that confidence. It would be great to see an update on how he does on improving his timings by improving his skills. Greg 🇬🇧🚘🏁
What an amazing chap this is! And wow, that was a lap! ❤
Good on you Jonathan, always knew you could drive and also was told by a friend who used to go motorbiking with you that you were good on a bike 👍
I'm AMAZED by his skills. Great lines and control over the car. RESPECT.
This is what I love about the car racing scene. There's so much respect between drivers (for the most part)
Awesome, Misha you are 100% right. Hes not disabled at all. He has a burdan on his shoulders, but he makes the best out of it. The car is perfectly configured for this task. The setup is really good. The i30n is really good with the dct. Sometimes I feel like a pussy compared to such strong individuals. Very nice lines, keep sending it.
That guy nailed that lap! Brilliant to see 🤙 Im booking my first visit to the ring for Sept 🔥 can not wait!!!
I love his manner and philosophy "improve me not the car". He's so well spoken, calm and humble.
Really appreciate these laps & the modern hand control systems being made for handy capable drivers, my great uncle was injured in WW2 & had hand operated controls in his old car, Rj in Oz
I love how the hand control lever has a wear mark from turning the steering wheel at full throttle. Kudos! P.S. What a gentleman. What a nice guy. Amazing
What a driver! I'm disabled too and have the same adaption to drive my GTI TCR! I would to meet Nürburgring! I'm sure would be great and with you Misha, I know will learn a lot!
Amazing, live your best life no matter what gets put in your way. His smooth and confident use of the track to then ask just the right questions with the intention to listen was inspiring.
Very impressive👍🏻 This guy is also very well spoken and has a good voice.... hope he does podcasts or something
This is why we love Misha, End of the day We're all comrades who have love and passion for cars and the Nordschleife. Danke Misha for bringing us all this amazing content. Ben from Sydney
Human adaptability is amazing, you can turn everything into a strength instead of seeing it as a possible limitation. This video proves it.
Door de "uitdaging" die deze mensen hebben staan ze anders in het leven, meestal veel beter dan mensen die niks mankeren. Mooie ronde!
So so smooth! Great driving and awesome tips at the end!
That was amazing and mad respect to the driver! If this doesn’t show people that they can go beyond their physical limitations, I don’t know what can. If I see this guy in the States, he’s eating, drinking, and getting petrol on me! I can’t wait for my laps coming up in June. Apex all the way!
I see no disability only raw ability. Strewth he was hailing.
Looking at this guys skills and wondering if I've been doing it wrong this whole time... Mighty impressive.
Soooo based on his Catalyst he's within 19 seconds of a factory driver who gets to run that car on track day in and day out. Can we just talk about how impressive that is for a second?
Beautiful to see, many thanks.
That driver mod seems surprisingly simple and effective. Beyond the different way of driving it must be a challenge to keep yourself seated properly when driving hard and you can't use your legs. But hey, I'm just jealous of the car!
I love when you do these can of video's!!! It's shows anything is possible... don't give up. Big respect to the driver... mad skills...💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥

Wow incredible stuff, this is what driving and cars is all about don’t let nothing hold you back in life.. bravo
That was absolutely amazing your a fantastic driver ! Loved the video thank you
Always nice and interesting how other wheelchair drivers drive on the track. Hope I make it this summer also times to the Nordschleife. :)
even if they are down, these guys are faster then most people on the track. its crazy. i rwally support these people. even if i have the risk of getting disabled myself. i wil still keep going on.
Such a cool guy!

This was amazing. Thanks guys. 👍😎🇦🇺
As a disabled biker now just a driver this is great to see 👌🏼 I drive with one hand but those hand controls look difficult I bet it takes a while to get that good Also if he lost the use of his legs in a car accident he’s got massive balls to go drive the ring
YESGOOOO, it's about the driver
1000x respect!
Huge kudos. I'm not disabled and I'd personally really enjoy those hand controls. Maybe it's because I grew up riding dirt bikes w/ wrist throttle and ATV's with thumb throttle but it seems like you could get some really good control with the hand throttle/brake.. Turns would be obviously be difficult though, as it seems to look in the vid.
With the technology we possess nowadays, i find it really strange that nobody has replaced these levers with fully digital controls. It should be really easy. Since the throttle is now digitally controlled, the manufacturers could add an analogue trigger button on the steering wheel, like the ones XBOX gamepads have. They work really well. That way the driver would be able to operate the throttle directly from the steering wheel and use his free arm to operate the brakes. Or they could take things one step further by installing an electronically controlled mechanism (like ball screw stepper motor) that pushes the brake pedal, and operates with a trigger button as well. The sky is the limit.
What a legend is this man!

Nice lines, very smooth. With smoothness like that,would love to see him in a GT3 RS or GT2.
Misha great vid like always
Great driving. I imagine braking with hand controls is very hard to get used to. And i wonder if it gives the same feedback as the pedal when things get hot and start fading.
BIG RESPECT!!!!
Brilliant driving! Great to watch and fantastic car (but I may be biased 😛)
Another Legend!
Dude 8.25 and 8.26 in a completely stock car is really good
I don't think it has to do anything with their disabilities, Misha is just showing us good drivers, some of them had to adjust accordingly to their personal circumstances. Most likely they'd be good drivers even without those circumstances. Hats off anyway, skills are skills no matter what.
love it!!!
I don't need a wheelchair , and that's probably fairly lucky on my part because my shoulder is the problem not my legs . I'm a 51 year old who had a class 2 shoulder separation when I was 26 years old . The doctor told me then that I'd be lucky lift a coffee cup to my mouth with my right arm . And well I have done a hell of a lot better than the doctors thought I would . I'm stuck working behind the counter at a gas station because that's about all I can do physically . And as someone who works at a gas station I certainly don't make enough money to be able to afford a track car .
Respect
Met Jonothan at the weekend. What a inspiration ❤

Would be fun to see you try that hand controlled gas/brake. And who knows, it might even give some new ideas to your normal racing.
He drives better than many able bodied drivers!
What a lengend!
Drives better than most people would
I have the new Nankang CRS here in the US and its a game changing 200TW. Better then the A052 from initial impressions and much much better life / heat resistance
Misha, any chance you could ask this cat what brand HC's those are? I've driven with a few different brands/styles, and I drive my prepared M2 trackday car with old school MPS brand left hand dual plane hc's, but I love how he keeps his right thumb on the wheel. I'd love to drive with 2 again, even if just for stability. Thx

Hi. They are Geoff Gosling push and pull hand controls. You can rest your arm on the door sill and use it as a brace.
I wouldn't want to drive there but in the future maybe I could take a lap in a car
Misha as there are a few comments here maybe you can answer this for me why do you left foot brake? What are the advantages that you gain? Does it come down to milleseconds gained? I note that some of the other factory lap record setters do not left foot brake. Jusr want to know.

It gives me a sense of better car control by eliminating the unloaded time. It's not necessarily faster, because on a bumpy surface you may better use your left foot to hold yourself in the seat.
@AliceC993
Жыл бұрын
Not a track or professional driver by any means (though I do have many hours of seat time with racing sims for what little that is worth), but I've found it largely depends on the pedal box arrangement. In some cars, it's more "ergonomic" for lack of better words to brake with your left foot, especially in situations where you have to react quickly, than trying to juggle throttle/brake with your right and having your left foot more or less idle unless you're actively changing gears.
