buetang its the Same as the teacher writes something on the white bord and Then she cleans it but she forgets 1 little bit. I always pull my glock when she does that to me.
wow, that is incredibly immersive, love it :) I could myself tensing up, and shifting as if I was there, very fun! the camera could have been up at eye level a bit more tho, but I understand the placement if worried about wind buffeting.
They arent big cars but honestly they arent cramped either. Im 5' 11'' and ive sat in one and i must say i wouldnt mind driving for an hour or two non stop. Personally the more im squeezed into the seat but it isnt disturbing then i love it. And then you have the multi point belts to keep you in place which i love aswell because normal cars with the belts it obviously doesnt hold you in corners but you just dont move around much if at all in a properly tightned multi point. It depends on preference though too. I havent seen one yet but if i ever can id love to see what i like best between the Atom, the Donkervoot D8 GT or GTO and the BAC Mono. I think as a all weather id rather have the D8 GT (hardtop) but i think the Mono has a much more interesting seating position. Its like the F1 cars where you seat leaned back with your legs going up slightly from your hip. Anyways that thing is on another price point. I think you can get atoms for like 60 000$ in Canada i think those are new but not shipped or whatever. While a BAC is i think in the 200 or 300 000$ range.
Anton Gilljam and? Should that bother me? Id rather be this height cause i can fit in cars ive always dreamed of driving but not too short either. Pretty sure the average height is around 5' 9" for men, if so im above average
He's letting him know it's OK to pass. That rule exists at all tracks, no passing unless permission given. That way there's no question both know each other's intentions.
this is what you called freedom of driving,when you can really feel the air around you and listening to that pure engine sound humming in your ears pure connectivity with the road and car
Colin got more than his fair share of drivers killed back in the day. What he did to lighten his racing chassis could be very legitimately considered irresponsible.
C. Alex McGlone How do you blow your engine by not seating 5th gear ? If Rev limiter is intact it just bounces a few times off the limiter, you lose some speed, and have to re-insert the gear with the clutch again🥴... A blown engine (or at least a spin)would possibly happen if he slammed it into 3rd from 4th while aiming for 5th *AND DROPPED THE CLUTCH*! Too many redundant safeties for a good driver to do that.
@@TooManyChoices1 He was going 4th to 5th and instead of going up and right went straight up into third, the rev spike was him letting the clutch out after selecting third accidentally, he heard the spike and pushed the clutch back in before damage was done to the engine. If he'd let it go another half a second it would have blown the engine most likely though. No amount of rev limiters and other crap can save you if you go 4th to 3rd and let the clutch out, because the mechanical connection from your drive wheels into your engine via the transmission will overspeed the engine, and rev limiters are only designed to cut fuel to prevent you from pushing the engine past a certain point with the throttle.
@@orangejuche looks more like 5th didn't engage at all and he had to push into 5th again. Rev spike was because of being in neutral. It doesn't appear as if he pulled the shifter out of 3rd at all.
Awesome video! Great driving. You proved that minimal input = maximum output! I noticed how little you had to shift. Great combination of low weight and high torque... Thanks for posting. very enjoyable.
1st I was astonished you caught the Ferrari just in the straight at the end.2nd I was even more astonished a BMW overtook at the very end of the straight. Anyway, great video
Great and smooth Driving! :) Those Schirmer M3´s (passing you at the very end) are insanely fast! Think they managed a 6:59 on slicks during this trackday!
glenn110688 Thank you ;-) Yes this car has a specific setup for the ring, the driver is very good and slick, impossible to follow him with my poor ariel atom but i have for sure more sensation than him inside my beast and i love that :-)
+sebastian vittel Is this really Sebastian Vittels UA-cam account? If so, an honor to speak to you. And that Atom may not be as track worthy as alot of other super/hyper cars but i bet it's sure a lot more fun to drive. ..
I "was" going to buy a couple of Atoms for my 2 sons to tool around town, but now aafter seeing this video... forget it! Instead, for the same money, I am ordering a driver's side floor mat for a 458. I can drag the kids around town with my Corolla.
It appeared you only made about 4 shifts......what a wide power band. That loose buckle about made me loose my mind. You looked relaxed and in control.Good job.
The 458 is a beast -I would never drive that fast in an Atom. Decapitation always happens at high speed crashes w convertibles and big go cart lookn things. In Houston a convertible vette crashed and they found the driver and his girlfriends heads 300 ft from the scene of accident.
If you crash at these speeds only two goods things can happen. One, a miracle and you walk away unscathed. Two, you die too quickly to know it. The alternative is to be left FUBAR for life. I don't believe in miracles.
This reminds me of the times I was zipping around the track myself, on my PS4... good times. Anyway, it would be nice to have a speed indicator on screen..
Seb, you make me laugh. Most of us would be changing gear a thousand times and revving the engine to 22,000 rpm just to overtake a Mini. You, on the other hand, look like you are sitting in an armchair, smoking a pipe with your slippers on and watching the tele...lol. Good job man and thanks for all you have done for "motor racing" - as Jackie Stewart would say.
I would have driven like him, just would have used the 3rd more often... But if he's confortable with the 4rd power output why shifting? He surely knows his car more than I do
The best Atom - Ring video I've seen to date... Was that a Subaru that took you at the end? All good & totally bonkers, love it thank you, a real fun hit...!? There are few people I would trust two up in speed & you seem to be one of them, that's very rare & a real compliment...
you should include some on screen telemetrics so we know the speed, revs, gear, heck even gps position on the ring would be good :D i think there are sensors that you can plug in your car and download the data
Man sieht sehr schön, wie viel Vorteil der Atom in Kurvenpassagen durch seine Wendigkeit hat. Er kommt dann wieder an den 458 ran. In den geraden Abschnitten zieht er durch seine höhere Endgeschwingigkeit wieder weg. Danke
Yikes that accidental downshift would worry me so much about the engine i know it :D sounds so epic tho, it's my dream car, i really hope i get lucky with my job after college..
That passenger harness flopping around is triggering an OCD reflex I never knew I had.
buetang its the Same as the teacher writes something on the white bord and Then she cleans it but she forgets 1 little bit. I always pull my glock when she does that to me.
buetang I bet if there were a passenger he could have taken the corners better. Too light of a car is dangerous.
Thanks pal.... now I can't watch! WTF!
I have OCD and that didn't bother me a bit.
JAA
LOL, these things happen.
I liked the friendly wave to the drivers that pulled over to allow the overtake. 😊
The Atom is just a delightful car! Handling, Power to Weight ratio, Motor choice. An excellent package!
6:03 THAT headshake after the miss-gear shift :)
wow, that is incredibly immersive, love it :) I could myself tensing up, and shifting as if I was there, very fun! the camera could have been up at eye level a bit more tho, but I understand the placement if worried about wind buffeting.
How in the world do you fit your balls in that car? Awesome speed and great driving! Excellent videos!

Patrick Pelletier you are not tall

xAlphaAx no im pretty sure i realised that. I just got carried away at that point i guess
Even has time to thank those he is overtaking!
Gordon Clark There's always room for manners with maybe the exception of the Fiat 500 driver who seemed to be a little too close to the racing line.
Except the 'Rari
He's letting him know it's OK to pass. That rule exists at all tracks, no passing unless permission given. That way there's no question both know each other's intentions.
@@g13flat what's the rule for overtaking in germany? in willow spring is to stay on racing line and signal faster car to pass
Look at the price difference per horse power, and look at the ability of the drivers, well done Ariel
this is what you called freedom of driving,when you can really feel the air around you and listening to that pure engine sound humming in your ears pure connectivity with the road and car
Crikey, that was a brilliant download, an amazing driving experience even on my iPad & with a pair of earphones. Marvellous.
Totally amazing race footage captured here. Very exciting.
I love the WINDSCREEN the sheer size of the thing is amazing IT MUSTT WELL HELP A WHOLE LOAD, these designs are beyond me, flabbergasting !!
What an incredible machine!
I wish I could be in one of these to experience true speed. This thing flying!

Sehr kontrollierte, bedacht gefahrene Runde. Absoluter Respekt!
Bin beeindruckt, wenn doch alle so fahren würden.....
Yeeowww, that was fun!!
Thanks for the ride.... mesmerizing. 😎
The 458 pulls quite hard. I was expecting you to outperform him out of the slower corners.
seeing from how he drive... this driver is a truly nice guy. He frequently hold his hand out to say thanks to those who gives way.
That awesome missed shift recovery @ 6:06.

I'm sitting in an office chair watching a monitor and my cheeks are clenching. Man this guy has balls!
Very nice video and ride ! Next time, please, fasten the right side seatbelt :) Cheers ! Love the ATOM !
the key chain sticking out sideways from G force is cool
Absolutely love your channel!
Smooth is fast. That was super, super smooth and didn't look (or sound) near the limit. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video! Great driving. You proved that minimal input = maximum output!
I noticed how little you had to shift. Great combination of low weight and high torque...
Thanks for posting. very enjoyable.
The carousels seem brutal in that thing, you certainly handle it like a champ though. Thanks for the awesome uploads.
Excelente piloto y excelente el arielatom.Y muy buena filmacion
impressionnant, bravo!
Awesome watch.
Two nice drivers.
What a lovely machined piece of pure joy! And respect to your driving skills!
Gotta LOVE that 458 beauty. :)
Good driving! This man got balls!!! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic car and excellent driver!
1st I was astonished you caught the Ferrari just in the straight at the end.2nd I was even more astonished a BMW overtook at the very end of the straight. Anyway, great video
that would be so much fun, I was dying to catch that guy.
Damn that felt good.
Great video and even better driving! 👍🏻
Love that supercharger whine. 😍🙌
You gotta love that whine of the supercharger
What a Nice Driver!!
When you thought the atom and speciale were fast. Batman shows up I think it was an m3.
Everest Inspections looked like an E92gts, fucking ballistic car
E92gts is awesome, but for sure that was a Schirmer M3, set up just for Nurburgring, insanely fucking fast.
Yeah..at the end :))) like a rocket!
Awesome lap, loving the S/C whine. Mis-shift at 6:05! :)
Damn I want a Atom, that looked awesome.

Don't forget that the famous F1 driver is Sebastian "V'e'ttel. ;¬)
I know him in Person. Joined him as a passenger in his Huracan last summer on the Ring ;)
nope he is not
Great video, it's also nice to see a Ferrari being enjoyed properly too rather than just shown around,

Sehr vorsichtig gefahren.
Nice lap. Thanks for the ride. ;)
Man this Atom is FAST but that Speciale was moving!!!
It'd been awesome to have another camera to show the pedal work. Looks fast enough for me :P
The sound is so addictive
merci pour le ptit' tour d'ariel ...
thanks for the nice video. very cool.
Makes me feel like I'm there thanks. Oh and I'm so jealous too
Great video, I love Ariel Atom's and the driver is very good.
It appeared you only made about 4 shifts......what a wide power band. That loose buckle about made me loose my mind. You looked relaxed and in control.Good job.
one word.excelerating
Nicely done!!!
Great driving.
Good driving!!! That blower screams
I love it at 0:16 when the Ferrari flies by... Game . On ...
Ferrari went by like the three wheeler was standing still. Power to weight ,traction, filigree.
I wish the camera had been just a bit lower so we could have read the speedo. Loved this!
epic! love these..
Wouldn't like that to let go at that speed,great vid,thanks
wow, that Ferrari was FAST!
Incredible! I am not going to lie, slightly jealous
Awesome race!
Ariel Atom has quite a cute little violin in its boot.
That supercharger is like a tent full of mosquitoes while camping.
Brilliant.

Class, thanks
I love when it's in 5th(?) gear - the RPM and speedo are almost 1:1.
Gotta love the windshields lol.
Seb, you make me laugh. Most of us would be changing gear a thousand times and revving the engine to 22,000 rpm just to overtake a Mini. You, on the other hand, look like you are sitting in an armchair, smoking a pipe with your slippers on and watching the tele...lol. Good job man and thanks for all you have done for "motor racing" - as Jackie Stewart would say.
***** Sorry. I stand corrected...lol.
+zTekLuke2604 Not if i was in mine, but the sad thing is it tops at 116 mph though :-(
I would have driven like him, just would have used the 3rd more often... But if he's confortable with the 4rd power output why shifting? He surely knows his car more than I do
cette BMW qui passe à la fin aussi huhu
gg for this vidéo and tx
The best Atom - Ring video I've seen to date... Was that a Subaru that took you at the end? All good & totally bonkers, love it thank you, a real fun hit...!? There are few people I would trust two up in speed & you seem to be one of them, that's very rare & a real compliment...
6:04 , dat reaction , u was like 'neeein, noooot good' XD
#TrulyImpressiveRun!!! #Kudos #SuperExcitingVideo!!!!!
I keep looking to the corner of screen to see where the car is on the map and when a corner's coming. 😮
Those front tires are hard to heat up right. Impressive work.
black car i love it........ nice skill ^_^
Looks like the 458 slowed down because it sure showed he had the speed thru most of the video.
Really good!! In this one you go much faster than against the corvette hehe ;)
Nice driving, looks like so much fun. There aren't any racetracks here, nevermind the Nurburgring lol.
you should include some on screen telemetrics so we know the speed, revs, gear, heck even gps position on the ring would be good :D i think there are sensors that you can plug in your car and download the data
yourezz25
Yes i would like to see the Gear-Ratio of that Car. And the HP/ Weight would be interessting to.
yourezz25 Watch for the keychain deflection (by his right hand) which gives you some idea of the forces generated by cornering and acceleration.
Yes speed at least would be nice. I wasn't sure how fast he was going.
About 260kmh ish!! Look at the right dial.
Google the dashboard and images. 3 o'clock is about 130mph.
Man sieht sehr schön, wie viel Vorteil der Atom in Kurvenpassagen durch seine Wendigkeit hat. Er kommt dann wieder an den 458 ran. In den geraden Abschnitten zieht er durch seine höhere Endgeschwingigkeit wieder weg.

All we need is P-Diddy’s “Can’t Touch This” playing in the background!
Hehe, if there were any subtitles on this vid, they would be saying "music" just from the engine sounds. 😉👍
Holy crap - if I retire I'm gonna live near Nurburgring and buy one of those things -LOL
FERRARI Number one.
Yikes that accidental downshift would worry me so much about the engine i know it :D sounds so epic tho, it's my dream car, i really hope i get lucky with my job after college..
Flisko It wasn’t an accidental down shift. Or was not into gear all the way... So bounced out ... no danger to the engine at all.
enjoyable videos
title should read Atom tries to catch Ferrari for 7 mins , does so when the Ferrari gets bored and slows down .
Sebastian, you make Nordschleife look like a Sunday drive.
El super carro ariel atom brutal 🏁
