Note on the insurance, here in the UK some insurers specifically exclude the Nordschlife, check your policy documents! (I noticed this first on my wife's old Citroen Picasso, all 1.6 litres 8V and 90hp of it, not exactly a racecar :-) )
Not to complain about your off season content, Misha, but this is the stuff your subscribers signed up for. Great video. I think your channel cultivates a feel and appreciation for the laid back attitude of the real car enthusiasts community. If it were for appreciating and respecting each other, not trying too hard and having fun with the right mindset, there would be drastically less accidents.
It’s always worth checking your car insurance as well. My policy has a specific paragraph in it that I’m not covered at the Nurburgring even though it’s considered a public road.
Thanks for doing this kind of video. I really like the fact that you think about the people who are not Nürburgring expert, I'm sure it will help a lot of people to enjoy their first Nürburgring laps.
@@thomasbryce1716 gotta find a way to live there a few months a year.. and every day on the track too! (ok, I can make any own pancakes but ill import the hooch. Care to join us?)
This video is so good. I'm convincing more and more friends to come to the Nürburgring and your latest videos are perfect to show them first impressions and give them the right mood for this.
Thanks for the tips (also those on some of your 'first time driving' videos! I was there last weekend and it all went smoothly thanks to a good preparation.
I never knew that there was two different speeds you had to do between an illuminated yellow and a waving flag yellow. Thank you for the information, top-notch as always.
Thanks for the tips Misha! Will actually be helpful when my car is finished, just heard that my dampers are still in backorder at Bilstein. Ordered other ones today and hope they will arrive asap so I can finish the car.
Great video Misha .!! I’m really excited and feeling a lot more confident to visit this month. I have learned alot on etiquette and behaviour on the track. The horror videos on UA-cam with aggressive driving and bad behaviour don’t reflect at all from what I can see 😎😎
Misha, about the pad noise. I used to have track pads that were too noisy and I was feed up with the sound. I bought some titanium brake pad shims (are supposed to help with heat barrier for boiling brake fluid) but a side advantage of the brake pad shim is that it acts as a damper o brake pad vibration AKA that annoying sound of brake pads. I would suggest to give it a try, for me it helped a lot.
GOOD Morning Misha.. 5:55am NZtime Its great waking up to new Vlog post..🙂 Informative & helpful video dude ! 👍😎👍 I so ENVY all you dudes who are able to visit & drive th'Ring ..AND meet the the Apex team! one of these days😉🙂😉 "ouch"..those squealing Brake pads bro ..😬😬 LOVE Ya Work bro💕 Godbless ava gr8 day🙂
Thanks for this Misha, really good tutorial. Would you say it's best to go early morning on the weekend or are weekday evenings okay? I've got plenty of trackday experience, but intend to drive around slowly as this track seems very narrow. Do you think it's safe enough to do so when there are more cars on the circuit?
Yeah, for me spending some time in that car park at the track entrance, meeting and chatting to like minded people was one of the highlights from the visit to Nürburgring. Oh, and going to near by village to get a sweinesnitzel for dinner :) P.S. back in 2016...
Maybe you should keep the brake pads. This way, the people at Devil's Diner will know when you're at Brünnchen and get your pancakes ready by the time you get off of the track. When they're eventually open again, of course.
Thanks for this, good info! How much has changed for 2022? I’m just wondering about the ticket thing: so you can’t buy a paper ticket / ticket at the counter at all? You have to use your phone? But if you have an Apple iPhone it will not workbut rather you have to print it? And i’m guessing you have no local print out options? So basically you have to buy the ticket way in advance, like at your hotel if you can print it there? Sounds really cumbersome and troublesome…
Now in 2022 all ticket sales places are open. If you just want to go there once, go and get your ticket at ED gas station at Döttinger Höhe or the ticket shop at the car park roundabout.
I ask this of everyone who uses the track because I've been in an accident on the track. Please be patient. If a driver can't move to the right because he's already on the left as you approach him through a corner, stay five metes back unless you are extremely experienced. Speed can drop very quickly through a corner. An inexperienced driver clipped my BMW and sent me spinning. I hit the barrier so hard, I bounced off and flipped sideways before sliding into the opposite barrier. Be patient, be aware of your speed and most importantly, don't push if you don't have experience. I was fine as my car was caged and I had a harness with helmet. I should clarify, this happened a few years back.
Cool to know the rules and tips! Thanks misha. Will you do a video about the track days? Do you do them often these days? Would be good for a ride along
Great info Misha 👍 How about licencing for those of us coming from other continents, do we just show our country's licence or do we need a international licence to hire and drive a car ?
6:40 I made this mistake 1 year ago on TT Assen. Was sooo exited that I send it on the first lap, broke my engine 1 lap later. Still can't get over that
Hello. I have a question - as a guest on track day, is there any possibility to get a ticket with my personal time? I am not about to race or go fast, it rather would be a nice souvenir for me from this day
Who noticed that the silver car that goes past him right after the speed limit area is the same that was totally flat out in front of Liam Lawson’s and Alex Albon’s lap on the ring hahahaah ?
Pancakes! Cannot forget Pancakes! Question is "What is Misha's favorite, plain, banana, blueberry, or something else?" Also syrup is the key. Maple, Coconut, or another flavor?
Hi Misha, thanks for the great content. Stupid off topic question: how did/where did you mount the front facing cam? On the front window with a suction cup or on the dashboard? Thx!
Great video 👍 Are there any other ticket options, say a day, weekend, week, evenings only etc or is it just by single lap or season pass? Cheers, Owen.
Hey Misha , can you try to record a lap from the backseat with a longer lens sometime? Like the old Yellowbird record lap, It really shows how extrem the undulations are! (No image stabilization, cam fixed to the car)
Is this because I asked about seats with ears on the Facebook page 😂😂😂 Hoping I can get you in my car for an instruction lap this year as you were away when I came last year!
Thanks for the information, I never knew anyone can just get on the track like this. It's like a gym membership, very cool stuff. Do they let you know when the track is closed to the public for professional races?
Rule number one, don’t confuse 3rd for 5th
2nd with 4th
Forward with reverse
Americans and Manuals...
At first try not to confuse Nurnberg and Nurberg!
@@ShatNdd Nurberg, are you sure ?
Misha the tour guide tells you everything but forgets to tell you when he drove right past Apex.
Note on the insurance, here in the UK some insurers specifically exclude the Nordschlife, check your policy documents! (I noticed this first on my wife's old Citroen Picasso, all 1.6 litres 8V and 90hp of it, not exactly a racecar :-) )
Same in Germany, most specifically exclude Touristenfahrten , you can even search the pdfs they provide with the policy's! Very handy.
@@MT-eb2dx Same in Sweden.

It’s always worth checking your car insurance as well. My policy has a specific paragraph in it that I’m not covered at the Nurburgring even though it’s considered a public road.
probably because they had one or two phone calls along the lines of, "oh yeah I crashed into a Ferrari at 130mph, but i'm covered right? :)" hahaha
i am insured with DEVK in germany but seems like the also not covered with TF...... makes me so confused....
@@Paynos literally haha. I don’t blame them
Does this surprise you😂
Thanks for doing this kind of video. I really like the fact that you think about the people who are not Nürburgring expert, I'm sure it will help a lot of people to enjoy their first Nürburgring laps.
Misha, I hope to someday use all of your helpful tips to drive the Nurburgring. With you in car would be even better. Thanks for showing us the ropes
can't wait to meet you all soon! this is so much fun! jealous!
same here 😉

Very well explained! I hope I'll visit this epic track someday. Cheers from Brazil!
Being a new follower to the channel, that was the video I was looking for. Thanks.
I quite like the brake pad squeal helps me learn the braking points 😂🏎💨 as ever Misha great content 👍
Thanks for this, it's incredibly important to discuss safety and etiquette at the track.
Can‘t wait until Devils Dines reopens again, it is just nice sitting there a watch all the cars coming off the track ......
Thanks for the tips (also those on some of your 'first time driving' videos! I was there last weekend and it all went smoothly thanks to a good preparation.
I never knew that there was two different speeds you had to do between an illuminated yellow and a waving flag yellow. Thank you for the information, top-notch as always.
Excellent introduction of the track rules and how to be safe 😎👌🏾
Thanks for the tips Misha! Will actually be helpful when my car is finished, just heard that my dampers are still in backorder at Bilstein. Ordered other ones today and hope they will arrive asap so I can finish the car.
You gotta love how Misha has to fight his racing instincts all the time to show the proper way or safe-driving around the ring 😂
I wish I can drive on Nürburgring someday. After the pandemic ends.
Thanks for this guide Misha.
Did you get to do it?
8:30 you cant have a wing
9:20 e46 with a huge wing casually passing by
thats just about big enough till its not Huge xdd
That s just nano rearenged rust 🤣
Awesome stuff, thanks so much for the info in this. I've watched it twice and I'll watch it once more before I visit Germany.
Thanks always for the tips and tricks of Touristenfahrten. These complete lap videos help us get familiar with the track. 👍🏎
My kind of how-to video. Looking forward to seeing you on the track some day.
Great intro to the Touristen Fahrten @Nürburgring! Thx
Long time viewer here, and I learned something. Well done!!
Very helpful video. Hope to get there in Sept and this is really useful info. I was last on track there in 1992 !
Great video Misha .!! I’m really excited and feeling a lot more confident to visit this month.
I have learned alot on etiquette and behaviour on the track. The horror videos on UA-cam with aggressive driving and bad behaviour don’t reflect at all from what I can see 😎😎
My Mini has got fresh TÜV. The new set of tires are standing next to him. I'll be there this weekend or next.
Thank you for 3:10 It's only aimed at a few but they can affect the fun of the many!
This was super informative for our planning to visit the Ring in a few years!
Afternoon Misha thanks for the information lap
ABSOLUTELY informative.. thank you man. Doing my homework to come there just to get on the track.
Misha, about the pad noise. I used to have track pads that were too noisy and I was feed up with the sound.

great tip! 👍🙂👍
SuperBike pads have them for same reason
Me at 3:00 AM, never driven a car before, living in Asia and probably will never get a chance to go to Germany: Interesting
lol the brake pad sound kind of make your braking points more clear to us
Thought the same in his first video 😅
Great video Misha!
What's not to like?
Very nice and informative.
2021, the Year of The Yaris on the calender.
Quick, nimble, occasional tantrum, big fun :)
I just was about to call you guys at the apex today and ask some Q and you just uppload this video !
Офигенный гайд по Нордшляйфе! Жду не дождусь открытия границ (и кучи деняк для поездки)
Awsome video going for the first time this year, Very helpful 👍
GOOD Morning Misha..

Bucket list trip for me - hope to get there some day. Cheers from the U.S.
Great Video Misha. Thank you.

Great vid as always Misha.👌🏻🤟🏻
So ready ❤🎉 thanks for thr video
Great video again Misha!
Can't wait till I can leave Scotland and come over
Good video
I really enjoyed it like all of your videos 😄❤️
That would be pretty funny to watch a guy trying to get his bus through the TF gate
I've seen it on UA-cam somewhere. Somebody actually offered bus rides on the Nordschleife at some point!
brilliant vid misha 1 day i will be there👍😀
Thanks for this valuable information 👍
Good video
Good comment
Good on ya🙂

You forgot the emergency areas, the orange zones
Holy squeaky brakes, Batman!!! Other than that...very good vid, Misha.
4'45...have your TF card ready to show it !
Can't wait to be back 😭

Cool video! I drove the X5 at 14:30
Great Advice and should be taken seriously, by everyone. :)
You ll have to organise a formation lap with as many GR Yaris as you can gather up, there are so many around!
Hallo Misha nice lap nice vlog
Great informative video!

Two thumbs-up! Why that helmet rule is not followed at all tracks is beyond me. US HPDEs all require a helmet, but not a Hans. Makes little sense.
"You have to remove your wing", meanwhile next car that overtakes him has a massive modded rearwing.
Great vids
Always remember: theres no winners in touristenfahren, only losers. Don’t be a hero.
Hello. I have a question - as a guest on track day, is there any possibility to get a ticket with my personal time? I am not about to race or go fast, it rather would be a nice souvenir for me from this day
I hope one day I'll use this rules :)

Thank you!
Noted
When is the compilation video coming of all the ‘goooodmorning comrades’ ? 😎😁
Excellent vlog really enjoyed and learned from it, thank you. Out of interest how far away are you from doing a Tracktor update?
Toch weer leerzaam na vele jaren bezoeken. Tx! Medische mondkapjes zijn bij elk tankstation te koop neem ik aan?
The fact that Turistenfahren exists probably contributes to less reckless driving on German roads.
Many thanks for the video, really nice educating, hopefully one day I'll try real life nurburgring instead on assetto corsa.
Pancakes! Cannot forget Pancakes! Question is "What is Misha's favorite, plain, banana, blueberry, or something else?" Also syrup is the key. Maple, Coconut, or another flavor?
A guy sent me a link to this video after I crashed into him in Assetto Corsa lol.
😂😂😂 yep, that sounds like a SIM guy. Quite funny thought. Did you pass him on the wrong side? 😂

Would like to see more information on insurances, especially possibilities to reduce the excess on rental cars.
