Let’s not forget, in 1983 Martin was in contention for winning the British Formula 3 championship, only to got beaten in the last round by another driver who Martin fought against the whole season. And that driver, he’s called Ayrton Senna.
Let's not forget this guy is a World Sportscar Champion and a Le Mans 24h Winner. Truly special talent never rewarded with the right car the talent should have been given
@@atishaykankaria4461 knew this indeed. I have had the luxury of watching Martin at Le Mans in 1998 with Toyota - he is supremely quick. He put the Toyota GTOne on the front row that year and blew the opposition away in his opening stint. Class driver. A bloke called Mark Webber was driving for Mercedes.
Brundle is in the bottom 5 worst drivers ever to sit in a F1 car. He had championship winning cars and never even got close to winning a single race. Don't take my word for it, check for yourself.

Aw man, I'm already dreading the day when Martin decides to hang up his mic and headset. I started watching and learning about F1 over ten years ago with Martin and Crofty as my guides. He's definitely made my childhood with his commentary.
As soon as he said “we’re forbidden to overtake the safety car” I was like… 🙄 A safety car for 2 ex. F1 drivers? Not to mention their Le Mans experience and sports cars too… Martin can drive… take the stabilisers off him!
@@Andy_ATB that is simply not true and irrelevant. during touristshfafen or however you spell it, ANYONE can go absolutely BALLS OUT with their car, they simply can't overtake from the right, only the left. So that wouldn't be an issue at all over here.
More of this! Too often on this channel videos seem to be shortened right down to below 5 minutes. Much prefer longer videos, more substance, not rushed.
Martin Brindle is great. I can listen to him all day long. Enormous talent! I would love a ride along with him anywhere. Even around my neighborhood. As long as he gives commentary!
Make a doco series. Send Martin around the world to as many tracks as possible doing this. Even when the safety car was slowing down he made it interesting.
At 14:14 when he said "And you so quickly learn this track.." yet there's me who's spent 4 years on racing sims & I still haven't mastered the track enough to set a single incident-free flying lap.
Great to watch Martin enjoying himself in a somewhat capable car. It'd be even better if you could sync the audio to the video. This segment was like watching F1 channel highlights where the sound is consistently super delayed.
Loved to watch the whole video, thanks for uploading this. Could listen to Martin Brundle all day long. (Unfortunately A/V sync is not ok, though, by a few seconds)
I’d watch Martin read the bible to be honest! A man capable of conveying the technical aspects of vehicle dynamics to a layman of the street. Humble enough to bring us on board and watch the talent of a man never crowned for his brilliance. Martin, I salute you sir, you are a living legend!
Always cool to see Martin riding around but how about syncing the audio with the road? shifts don't match and when he says I'm turning left he is going right???
Racing around it now seems nerfed, a no noise section? Is that in effect all the time? Hope the safety car was only out for an earlier incident in the day as that's a shame to not be able to go out flat out through the entire track.
Appreciate the video being put up but I'm really struggling to watch it with the audio being so out of sync. All the gear shifts are out of place etc. Really frustrating. Its possible its a UA-cam issue so I will go with that and hope that it didn't get put up like this.
Crazy isn't it? Pretty sure it's just down to bad editing. Frustrating that a professional TV broadcasting channel is making videos that are worse than the average youtubers videos. Love the Martin Brundle content and would like to see more of it, but this video is weird.
@@00Donkey00 Yeah I didn't want to point the finger at the editing but I think you are right. Because there are moments from the face cam on the dash that almost look in sync while the rest is way off. Love me some Brundle and sadly someone like a certain J. Broadbent is putting out much better vids than this one. Let's hope its a one off eh.
I don’t know if you can call these “epic” laps. He’s behind the safety car the whole time, I’d love to see Martin drive a couple laps in anger around here.
When we were young I did cast the odd thought after how Martin's (and my own generation) would feature as 'Grandads' and now we are starting to know. I do fear Martin has lost some of his characteristic feistiness in this piece - it happens to us all - and is nothing to be ashamed of and is no loss of dignity and happens to us all over the fullness of our lifetimes. This piece is still way more interesting than watching Max Verstappen win the umpteenth F1 race this year. It says a lot about the integrity and the prestige of F1 that the formula cannot find a consistent berth in either France of Germany these days. We do know that the 'commercial rights holders' continue to 'rack' the category to within an inch of a track owner's financial destitution and yet there is still no getting away from the fact that the Germans and the French make some of the best motorsport machinery on the face of the planet and they are both 'off the scale' in terms of motor sport heritage and it is a crying shame. Of course, Martin is a 'winner' from F1 whilst as the father of two amongst us and, these days, we all know and love Alex, who has a public persona, for the insightful motor racing pundit he now is and has become. Guys like Jim Clark are the losers from F1 as he never did live to get to settle down on that farm in Scotland and raise a family.
wonder what would this video be like if the late great Sabine Schmidt were driving the pace car or even one of the cars showcased here... I miss her...
Still got it. Set the world speed record for a production car too. The XJ220 remains the fastest Jaguar ever produced and when launched in 1992 and, at 213mph, had the highest maximum speed of any production car
Audio is so badly out of sync you can tell from the onboard shots showing the gear changes on the HUD happen a second after the sound is plugged in. The revs and gear changes are just all wrong.
man, could you really not have done a better job with the onboard camera view on street?! that is so sad. how are people to get an impression of this amazing track?!
Let’s not forget, in 1983 Martin was in contention for winning the British Formula 3 championship, only to got beaten in the last round by another driver who Martin fought against the whole season. And that driver, he’s called Ayrton Senna.
Brundle is a legend. I think many don't realize it fully.
To be fair, Senna won the first nine races that season. He just barely finished a race the second half.
@@97668vfhvfnbit's obviously not him dude Just because you accomplished nothing in your life doesn't mean everyone is the same as you
Well done but exposure way to high

@@renaultclio1400😂🙏
That honor goes to Alesi... but Brundle also deserved, at least, one GP victory

Why is Sky F1 not doing this at every track lol. Put Martin in a car for a few laps with commentary! I would watch it gladly! ❤️
I can listen to Martin Brundle all day.
❤definitely
Martin is so sincere and genuine. He's such a great narrator when it comes to motorsport and it's just a joy to listen to!
What a pleasant surprise!
“Take a bit of curb, that’s free of charge”. A truly great commentator and so much history and knowledge.
Brundle's a legend, damn shame the camera's exposure wasn't set up for the exterior view.
And the audio is delayed by a second or two. Bruh
The safety car is driven by Misha, he is no slouch! So GREAT to see Mr Brundle behind the wheel, people forget who is. a LEGEND!
Charoudin?

me too , jus love the guy
Same. I think it’s fitting that he worked in the com box with a national treasure in Murray Walker… only to go on and become one himself…
Get that safety car out the way so Martin can floor It!
GT4 ptsd
Aw man, I'm already dreading the day when Martin decides to hang up his mic and headset. I started watching and learning about F1 over ten years ago with Martin and Crofty as my guides. He's definitely made my childhood with his commentary.
This man is so underrated! I remember watching him in F1 with my Dad in the 80's. He was my hero back then! A national treasure ❤❤❤❤
Why on earth is he following a safety car at 50mph the whole time?
He was struggling anyway 😂
@@_-_.7 he would absolutely smoke you
@@_-_.7 He's literally raced GT cars around the Nordschleife within the last few years
@@_-_.7 he was an F1 driver what are you on about
@@_-_.7 how is he struggling?
Dear Sky, please set up the damn camera's exposure so that we can actually see the track.
As soon as he said “we’re forbidden to overtake the safety car” I was like… 🙄 A safety car for 2 ex. F1 drivers? Not to mention their Le Mans experience and sports cars too… Martin can drive… take the stabilisers off him!
When trying to race on the Nordschleife, ALL drivers have to attend a 'driving school' - even Martin himself did, back a few years ago.
@@Andy_ATB that is simply not true and irrelevant. during touristshfafen or however you spell it, ANYONE can go absolutely BALLS OUT with their car, they simply can't overtake from the right, only the left. So that wouldn't be an issue at all over here.
It was more about the noise restrictions it seems.
More of this! Too often on this channel videos seem to be shortened right down to below 5 minutes. Much prefer longer videos, more substance, not rushed.
Safety car needs to move and let martin send that thing!💨
Martin Brundle. The Legend.
Steady on.
The whole time I had Misha Charoudin's voice in my head commenting every corner 😂
Misha the 🐐
Martin is a gem!
we love Martin Brundle driving videos. Personally, i loved fhe way the gyroscopic camera picked up banking changes in the track
Martin Brindle is great. I can listen to him all day long. Enormous talent! I would love a ride along with him anywhere. Even around my neighborhood. As long as he gives commentary!
Is this an advertisement for Ford? I love the GT!
Kinda, they have partnered with Red Bull for 2026 and this was a Red Bull event
just needed a track map on the screen with a tracker awesome though

Epic - behind a safety car all the time
Beautifully narrated, really keeps it interesting..
64 and he is absolutely ripping up Nordschleife. What an absolute legend he is both behind the wheel, and with a microphone.
Brundle driving? I’m watching. Love it.
Love Martin Brundle's work on sky F1 a pleasure to watch and listen too
I love Brundle’s track walks. It’s so funny lol
Maestro of 4 wheels ... Living legend - Mr. Martin Brundle ... Priceless. 👍✌💪🏎🚙🚀🛸⏱🏆🥇♾
I really like the Ford GT. What a cool car.
I love Martin Brundle
Martin Brundle, ace driver and a gentleman!
Who the hell did the camera set up for this... you can't see anything due to the awful exposure.
Dang that car is awesome

What is “somewhat capable” about this car,
What are you comparing it to?
@@claudiomarangone614 Very capable vs the average road car, not so capable vs the caliber of cars Martin has raced in the past. Somewhat capable.
15 mins of martin hustling the safety car! Love it
Loved to watch the whole video, thanks for uploading this. Could listen to Martin Brundle all day long.
(Unfortunately A/V sync is not ok, though, by a few seconds)
The Ring is an amazing place, especially if you drive around it. We go every year and never get bored of it. If you haven't been - do it
I’d watch Martin read the bible to be honest!

Martin, I salute you sir, you are a living legend!
Is the sound a bit out of sync? The two gearshifts around 1:33 seems rather slow, no?
We need a GP at the ring!!! (or Hockenheim)
Hell yes I miss Hockenheim. Hell of a track when you start driving sims around it! This was a wonderful video from Sky. they need to do this more!
Was hoping Martin would get to gun the entire Nordschleife on his own; not behind an SC
AFAIK he doesn't have the license to do that.
@@demonicsquid7217 anyone can pay to drive the nordschleife any day of the week. You don’t need a license. You need one to race. But not to do a lap.
What is so epic about a demo lap, never during the whole lap he pushes.
All this money for production value.. and the video isn't even matched to the audio 🤦♂️👎
Love Martin ❤
And Alex sounds just like his Dad too. Great commentators
Why is the audio track not synced to the video? Its about 2-3 seconds off
Mr Brundle is a legend 👍👍
Super video Martin, thank you for sharing with us …
Love your work in F1 …
Pay this on GT7 on the PS5 every night
Let's not forget that there's no DRS for two laps
Martin da 🐐
Great stuff 👍
Always cool to see Martin riding around but how about syncing the audio with the road? shifts don't match and when he says I'm turning left he is going right???
MB is a top lad, and a great driver
A team mate of schumacher always been a good driver
Where is the lap, this is a walk trough Nurburg forest?
Loved this.
Is the car that quiet or is the mic just that good. I'm so used to onboards from 5 or 10 years ago.
Id love to share a beer with this guy. The stories he could tell..
"Epic" having to drive behind a safety car is in no way epic.
I wonder if Martin wants to buy a Ford GT now after driving it
What a shame we get to see a pace lap on the full circuit
Shame the camera is so poor. Blown highlights - can't see the track really.
That could have at least synced the audio properly!
Racing around it now seems nerfed, a no noise section? Is that in effect all the time? Hope the safety car was only out for an earlier incident in the day as that's a shame to not be able to go out flat out through the entire track.
No, just for certain event/demonstrations. Full on racing for the N24, NLS, etc
What a legend
Watch Kubica Nurburging lap .... this is real drive !!!!
Have you seen the ruf yellow bird from the 80s doing it?
That’s a lap
I wish they would sync the audio with video 🤦🏽♂️

Behind a Safety Car?!!... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nozt much point going round the Nordschleife in a GT40 if a "Taxi" in front of you keeps you back all time....
This was fun but would be much better if we could actually see the road ahead of him. Camera was so over exposed...
Audio is so badly out of sync you can tell from the onboard shots showing the gear changes on the HUD happen a second after the sound is plugged in. The revs and gear changes are just all wrong.
Well that was very average. Now I know what it’s like sitting in the back seat following a safety car.
man, could you really not have done a better job with the onboard camera view on street?! that is so sad. how are people to get an impression of this amazing track?!
The camera set up or camera equipment was crap.
Wish they would have let him rip for a section at least.
