I love how honest Robert is after saying that it had issues now he can’t praise it enough, also love seeing the engine tense under load brilliant camera angle
Chris Harris seem to share similar opinion as Robert, regarding the stock 488 Pista. But I guess the folks at Manthey-Racing really know what they're doing. I would love to hear Chris Harris thoughts on the this particular 488 Pista, after he take it for a test drive.
This 488 has all the race specs and none of the brutal drawbacks of other track cars. Ferrari has really put together quite the perfect package with this one. Robert brings out the best in it....
As an alignment mechanic myself often still fascinated what a little adjustment of the alignment does to the characteristic of the car. Even on my own Toyota Starlet Turbo track car i've done many different setups just so see what it does. Love my job, hopefully in the future racecar stuff
Can you help us? It’a so hard to find useful info about aligment online. I have a 720S which I’ve heard come from the factory not aligned well but don’t know how to fix it and I don’t think anyone else around here does either.
The smiles said it all. That was a fast lap, fastest TF lap I've seen I reckon. The traffic cracks me up every time - the Cayman & the M3 that just wouldn't move over, but when you do get past them, they're suddenly dust. Great lap Robert.
Some people just don’t want to give in. Takes a slide/ o shit moment and they move over. Often you just have to back off to keep them from hurting themselves or their car
I'm honestly amazed at how aware and conscientious the other drivers are on the track as you are coming upon them for overtakes. It's really great to see. They get off line immediately (for the most part...). It must be a great sense of satisfaction when you get a car dialed in... Cheers.
Loved the lap Robert! It’s amazing how a good alignment will give you so much more confidence on the track. That engine sounds awesome-of course, beautiful too.
Great to see that the alignment has a positive effect on the drivability. I very enjoy watching your videos with these cool camera angles. Keep up the good work!
even when your taking it easy you are just a good driver, i cannot get over how casually well you hit the apexes on the ring. very nice driving. great car but also very nice driving. i dont think it matters what machine they put you in ide say you could run a GT3 car around that track any day of the week and be competitive
Good Day Robert. Absolutely Amazing. The Pista looks like it Handling has completely transformed. Jet fighter Handling Now. Can't believe The Acceleration and Closing Speeds. Much Thanks for Sharing. Wishing You and All at Home and Office An AWESOME Day. Stay Safe. Greetings from The Caribbean.
Okay! That thing is flipping quick. Absolutely destroying everything that comes in its way. My respect has increased for the Pista, by alot. Love the shifting technique btw👌
@@rbk4282 Yeah I see the pista destroy everyone out there, that's no discussion, but the GT4 gets the least "destroyed" for sure and in the overtake it is normal not to go flatout when you making space to let someone overtake. However that said the pista is a killer
The most impressive thing is that the guy in the GT4 seemed pretty handy and was hauling ass... yet the Pista was following it pretty easily at half throttle!!!!
Robert Robert Robert! haha! I love how calm you come across when speaking and generally, but on track you are seriously FAST! Best bits of being with Robert in the Pista... 'Pflanzgarten', 'Kallenhard into Drei Fach Rechts then the launch out of Wehrseifen', and when he presses the throttle after PG1.... Now watching the 675LT lap again... McLaren sound takes my soul... Great vids! Keep em coming!
i really love the video when Robert explains what he did not like! and i think that FERRARI have setting for people who will use the car for 'POOOSE'' driving in order to be safe for them...and he is the 1% of the people that need this product for track...and after one alignment you see what this car is made for ...
Hey Robert Wow! You made the Pista come to life. I’m not a Ferrari track car fan but this video made me reconsider to be more open minded to Ferrari. Great Job!! Cheers.
robert this is your best video ever my hair around my arm comes up from just the sound alone I am happy that you finally like the ferrai one day i also drive in en ferrai I don't know how or when that day will come
Watching more..... Your whole demeanour in the car / with the wheel is different. That car now looks like it’s putting your thoughts to tarmac nicely 🤓 Throttle sensitivity 👍🏻
@R32Danny You mean this is not the original car. That's why he likes the way the car drives on the track now...thanks to the folks at Manthey-Racing, who worked their magic on it (even though it's not a whole lot they did).
The smiles are back! That´s how a Ferrari should be driven! But 95% of Ferrari owners don´t drive it like that. So Ferrari decides to give even the Pista a "Road-Setup". Robert is one of the 5% who need a Track-Setup. The engine bay view is gorgeous! Enjoy the car!
Watching you drive this car Truly make me believe it is the best one ever out of the Ferrari family only can imagine what the new LaFerrari will be like
Incredible how easily you fly past all these track-focused Porsches and BMWs! Although I'll probably never drive a Pista myself, I'm genuinely glad to see a car like this being used for what it's designed to to, instead of being put in a garage with only its value checked daily.
A solid lap there Robert, very impressive. But kind of highlighted one of the reasons why the Ring makes me anxious. The closing speed of the Pista on some of those more standard cars was mind boggling and the lack of awareness by a few of the drivers was also scary. Bravo Sir
you need to keep in mind that as the faster driver i need to pay attention and assume that noone sees me until they make an obvious move. I didnt have to rush anyone out of the way because i was in no hurry sure the BMW was silly but that happens and this is TF, i believe they all have just as much right to enjoy the track as I do.. just stay patient and aware. Your comment shows exactly the mindset that tells me you to be a safe driver on the ring. Looking forward to seeing you out there
@@RobertMitchell Totally agree with all of the above Robert. I used to have a superbike and rode mainly on the road over here in the UK. You have to treat all around you as though they've not seen you, give them plenty of opportunity to find you in their mirrors etc. I thought you were very patient with the BMW and the GT4 and chose your passing places well with both. Look forward to watching more of these kinds of laps. Hope you, the family and all your colleagues stay safe and well.
I've loved the GT2 RS but would always of leaned to the Pista just because.. well it's a Ferrari, so glad you stuck with and got the alignment done as you say the car has to be built with all scenarios where as you have now put it to true spec. Cant wait to get mine aligned when I can finally travel. Epic lap
Who is this man? Where is Robert?
OMG
This guy is a friendly neighbor of nürburgring 😂
Its THE STIG Misha 😋😁
The video we have been waiting for the answer to the question...🤪👍👍 awesome results! Congrats Robert.
What a car, what a driver !! Love the comment when trying to get past the porsche 😂
I love how honest Robert is after saying that it had issues now he can’t praise it enough, also love seeing the engine tense under load brilliant camera angle

I can’t help but wonder if the Piloti suffers from the same stock alignment issues. Maybe it’s set up “right” and the regular Pista is set up “safe”?
ArKritz84 I doubt the piloti is fundamentally any different
This 488 has all the race specs and none of the brutal drawbacks of other track cars. Ferrari has really put together quite the perfect package with this one. Robert brings out the best in it....
They didn’t do too bad w the car
I learnt more about ailingment from Robert and Misha on this car than any other video on YT.
Tomislav Medven glad to help
Directly on topic, no stupid introduction. Superb content, tnx Robert.
Tomislav Medven I dir. Habe a mit to say so that works:-)
Wow. That is a awesome lap ,those closing speeds are insane. This is got be my favourite lap to watch. You look so comfortable drive the Pista.
Josh Khan really felt good driving it no doubt
clean lines, and minimal curb climbing. 👍👍
As an alignment mechanic myself often still fascinated what a little adjustment of the alignment does to the characteristic of the car.
Even on my own Toyota Starlet Turbo track car i've done many different setups just so see what it does. Love my job, hopefully in the future racecar stuff
rsbolhuis0rs just take a little brain work and it’s a whole new car
Can you help us? It’a so hard to find useful info about aligment online. I have a 720S which I’ve heard come from the factory not aligned well but don’t know how to fix it and I don’t think anyone else around here does either.
@@Kmaaq Yeah just take it back to Toys R Us and they should be able to fix the alignment for you.
The smiles said it all. That was a fast lap, fastest TF lap I've seen I reckon. The traffic cracks me up every time - the Cayman & the M3 that just wouldn't move over, but when you do get past them, they're suddenly dust. Great lap Robert.
Brendan Fleming it happens sometimes. Just gotta find that extra patience
Well, that bmw at 6:20 needs to check his mirrors a bit more often pfff..
Glad you didn't let go of the car and it's driving great now!
I think he saw him but he thought he was fast enough to stay in front of him ...
@@Ybeex Definitely. These idiots would rather ruin someone's lap then have their egos bruised by a 700bhp Ferrari.
Robert's reaction 😑😑😑😑 6:00
Some people just don’t want to give in. Takes a slide/ o shit moment and they move over. Often you just have to back off to keep them from hurting themselves or their car
Seeing his racing lines he is probably new to the track and not used to look behind him while racing
Robert.This is so great to see. you look happy and the car is also happy. CONGRATULATIONS ! my friend. Pista is a great car.
What absolute competence on the track - both the car and the driver - a joy to have watched this
Glad you enjoyed the vid man. Was a lovely car!!!
Oh man, what a car! I'm not much of a Ferrari Guy, but this beast is amazing
I am so glad you picked the Pista for your new series "Driving fast Cars fast"!
I know, you guys are going to start expecting this from me LOL
@@RobertMitchell We always expected this! Now there is no escape :p
I'm honestly amazed at how aware and conscientious the other drivers are on the track as you are coming upon them for overtakes. It's really great to see. They get off line immediately (for the most part...). It must be a great sense of satisfaction when you get a car dialed in... Cheers.
as a whole they do a great job here!!!
i love the engine view , it shows the chassis flex and how the engine shakes on gear changes , just brilliant robert.
Sitting here watching this my heart is racing. Now that’s driving performance. 👏👏👏
Loved the lap Robert! It’s amazing how a good alignment will give you so much more confidence on the track. That engine sounds awesome-of course, beautiful too.
Great to see that the alignment has a positive effect on the drivability.
I very enjoy watching your videos with these cool camera angles. Keep up the good work!
Niklas will try:-)

Great drive! I rarely watch a full lap, but that one was fun from start to finish.....
thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it!!!
Wow! That car is so balanced! Love how you can use the power, to carve through the turns!! 🏁
@Robert Mitchell - this is still your best lap on YT. The angles, the way it flows, the joy with which you are slamming the gears in... stellar
Wow the alignment, talk about confidence-inspiring.
Good Day Robert.
Absolutely Amazing.
The Pista looks like it Handling has completely transformed. Jet fighter Handling Now. Can't believe The Acceleration and Closing Speeds.
Much Thanks for Sharing.
Wishing You and All at Home and Office An AWESOME Day.
Stay Safe.
Greetings from The Caribbean.
Carlyle Khan you’re welcome and thank you too!!!
Carlyle Khan and enjoy paradise
Amazing transformation! Great to see you are happy with the changes.
Such a pleasure watching you drive!
Okay! That thing is flipping quick. Absolutely destroying everything that comes in its way. My respect has increased for the Pista, by alot. Love the shifting technique btw👌
Hamza Sherazi gotta keep Hand away as the paddles are quite sensitive
@@RobertMitchell Didn't knew that. Thanks
Thank you for posting: safe & smart super fast driving !!!! I so enjoyed that. Respect for you!
Still the best looking most beautiful spec I’ve seen of a Pista. Congrats.
thank you very much!
That emotion you get from a properly setup vehicle 👌 It's that bliss we all look for.
It’s highly sought after haha
That was a blistering lap already and there's more to come?!?! WOwsers, looking forwards to more! Great to see you happy with the Pista, Robert!
That you're able to thrash the car as it was designed to be thrashed, while so casually talking to the camera, it astounding!
Great to see you've fell in love with the Ferrari. Amazing how a setup can change the car. Looking forward to more content with the pista.
eddiefara :-). Thx
It's really fun to go through all the different cameraangles! Really nice setup.
Glad you think so!
Overtook the Cayman Gt4 so easily that he made it look like a fiat panda 😂
no surprise! +300 hp in difference! ;)
He let him you dude. Didn't you watch
@@MrCyberamp you dient watched in the
rearview mirror? this Pista is a Destroyer!

Never smiled so hard from watching a video! Those Caymans could barely see what flashed passed them! 😅
Sam A really glad you enjoyed it
Thing of beauty watching that run. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!

The ferrari is a beast!
Collin Ruiten thank you. Glad you’re enjoying it too
Wow this is amazing! Looks so balanced and crazy crazy fast!
Wow, first time I really enjoyed a fast round on this track. Thanks Robert
Great to hear and thank you!!!
Brutal car, brutal lap nice drive Robert!!
Everyone is behaving (almost) beautiful. Nice Lap to watch.
Air 8orne they’re doing alright hehe
7:40 BTG while casually talking to the camera 🔥
Hans Brodi Budget Racing cheers, came to the comments looking for this.
@@mattaria Great minds think alike 😄
not quite that time due to the ~5s cut at Breitscheid Bridge, but yes nice lap of the car without trying
I'm so glad the alignment did the job! It's a gorgeous car that should have been like this from the factory. Good to see you can finally enjoy the car
King of the road
Looks so smooth and easy Watching you driving it like that ! Lovely lap
Maaan that rear shot just catching the engine is awesome, seeing it jolt with every gear change!
i love that angle. may do a whole video just from the rear in 4k
Is amazing to see how this car moves. Such a spaceship
wow the power! and the SMOOTHNESS of your lines!! very cool
Hey Robert
Wow! You made the Pista come to life.
I’m not a Ferrari track car fan but this video made me reconsider to be more open minded to Ferrari. Great Job!!
Cheers.
I’m glad to hear that:-). Welcome to the channel
robert this is your best video ever my hair around my arm comes up from just the sound alone
I am happy that you finally like the ferrai
one day i also drive in en ferrai
I don't know how or when that day will come
Dimari here’s to hoping it happens sooner than later!!!!
@@RobertMitchell thx :)
Seeing the engine reacting to the gear input, man this made me smile the whole video throughout😃
Ludeboy it doesn’t mess around
Man just clocked 10k subscribers like it's nothing! The Ferrari is looking good Robert! Well done.
Bruno Dias thx BD
my god this car is screaming!! What a wonderfull drive!
Love the Pista its so fast and looks.and sounds amazing
Makes it look effortless! Carries so much speed through the corners.
Fast car!
Robert Mitchell it’s obvious from the video. You left the other cars looking like they were parked at the side! Incredible…
Watching more.....
Your whole demeanour in the car / with the wheel is different.
That car now looks like it’s putting your thoughts to tarmac nicely 🤓
Throttle sensitivity 👍🏻
Don't Panic! Yes. Much better control
Awesome video! Subscribed after the first minute of watching you enjoy the car!
The Ferrari Mafia got to Robert, no way this is the original Robert.... ;)
R32Danny Hey I’m just overly excited in the damn car works now. 17 months of frustration
@R32Danny
You mean this is not the original car. That's why he likes the way the car drives on the track now...thanks to the folks at Manthey-Racing, who worked their magic on it (even though it's not a whole lot they did).
Tyran Mathurin not necesarily. Every bit of hardware is stock, it’s just suspension fine tuning.
Incredible,clean driving and an insane car! passing everyone as if they were just grannytoodling on a sunday morning!
Never see you smile so much in the videos. Must be sooo good.
I was really happy w the car at that moment
This is going on repeat in my garage😍. We can truly feel how happy you are🥳
:-). Glad I could bring a little joy
Some smooth fast driving right there! Good job!! 👌👌👌
Thanks! 👍
Really exciting to watch cheers
Really good fast measured driving from Robert and you always feel safe.
Thank you Charles!!

MoepMoep-Movies it’s an understandable issue they face
I love the Pista!!
Neat and tidy section of corners at 3:30... dropped the BMW and GT4 that were following
Nice ride young man, the car looks incredibly fast and you make it look really easy to drive fast.
Robert got some serious driving skills makes everyone else look like they are cruising glad the car lived up to what you wanted out of it 👌
hehe thank you
Really on it! Clearly the alignment has boosted confidence. Great driving
Martin de Oliveira makes it much better to drive
It was great fun just watching this video!
Glad you’ve enjoyed it:-)
That just made my day, well done that man and what a lap 😎 see you soon 👍
Looks like a total different car to me! That corner speed, acceleration! Wow! Have fun with it Robert! Cheers!
Frederik Jacob thank you. It really is a new car

Looks like much fun! I don’t think the purple 911 had much choice in not wanting to be passed. Love that gearbox noise, the shifting is so responsive.
Man you use the tyres so well. A great balance between performance and not abusing them 👍
Thank you:-)
Good God this may be the best thing I've ever seen, well done 👊
Why thank you!
Wicked video Robert, what a great lap and sounds fantastic.
mark pearson thx mark
I've never had this much fun watching another man drive his car. I was giggling like I was there. Fucking awesome!
I ride a ZZR1400 and the Pista goes through gears like a bike, 488 is a rocket. Nice driving Robert, great vid
big baza30 it’s like a bike, very good comparison actually
WOW! That thing was flying.
Masterclass Robert! Enjoyed every bit :D
I’m glad you had fun w it:-). (I did;)
That thing is a track KILLER.
Nice drive Robert. Going to look for that alignment work for my Pista...
Wonderful let me know how it goes!
Damm it is fast now.
What a lap time if there was no traffic.
Great driving Robert 👍👍👍
futte2303 Car would go sub 7 on these semi slicks tf no problem. Sub 7 full lap imo with all things aligning
@@RobertMitchell i belive it, especially with You driving bro! serious skill!
Self control level 10 😂 I was shouting at the TV. Absolutely mega, smiling from ear to ear seeing it work and you fly along.
Jon Follows hahaha glad you had fun
448 sound epic for a Turbo, the gear change is just so fast, very nice. Have fun.
