Also, you always had him where it counts - in the corners. He had power and Cx advantage and still you nailed him :) Anyone can step on an accelerator on a straight, but you obviously have skill.
see what a beautifully engineered 30Keuros is capable to do to an overpriced racing car.... I would have the Megane any day, a very sharp car. Impressive driving, boy you know what you're doing
The megane is well known for its cornering capabilities but the Porsche pulls away so obviously in a longer straight. Anyway i think the cars are in two different leagues. Not that far away but different nonetheless. I think any non biased motorhead will agree.
The Megane looked nicely balanced through some of the trickier, bumpy corners. I agree with the others that the driver of the Megane seemed to know the "green hell" better and that is always an advantage. I can drive the track in my mind knowing it so well, but when you don't know it perfectly it pays to back off a little because it can really bite you.
Vive la Renault.💪 Eine absolut super Linie gefahren, mein Respekt. Würde ich, als langjähriger Testfahrer/ Versuchsfahrer, nicht besser hinbekommen...😎
Encore une fois la fameuse MEGANE RS montre sa supériorité sur circuit face à des véhicules plus puissants. Il faut dire que le conducteur de la RENAULT est sans doute un bon pilote alors que celui de la Porsche est un snob friqué qui pense avoir l'air supérieur. En fait ,il doit être vert de rage de s'avouer incapable de distancer une voiture deux fois moins chère... C'est toute la différence entre un vrai pilote et un trouducul.
Je te trouve (un an après) un peu dur, si tu avais les moyens de te prendre une Porsche, une Mercedes, une BMW, irais-tu chez Renault? Ne peut-on pas aller sur circuit sans pour autant être un pilote? Ce monsieur qui a les moyens cherche juste du bon temps, tout comme ce monsieur en Mégane qui conduit plutôt pas mal.
Okay, the Cayman did not get killed. It was slowed up by every car and bike on the ring until the driver finally made an error. The only kudos for the RS is that the driver took advantage at the perfect time.
Yes, because only Porsche were slowed up by every car and bike and Megane can drive through them. It worked for both of them. Also: You can see that Porsche is blocking Megane RS sometimes.
You can say that about any car. the fact is, if both cars are stock (with exception of tires), then the Megane won that battle. The Megane driver was almost toying with that Cayman. Truly great driving.
Guys....Driver AND car....Excellent video....and just goes to show what a real hot hatch can do for under £30,000. The RS is an amazing piece of kit.....Well done to the German driver in a French car...lol. Thanks for posting this excellent vid....appreciated.
We were talking about which car is better considering performance, not costs or practicality. I agree with You... On public roads it's almost impossible to use >350bhp in safe conditions, You always have to back of a litte bit, to have some margin for error. This one if really fast, even to fast for todays roads with speedcamers, unmarked police cars with radars, etc and still it's quite cheap to buy and run. Cars like Megane [and similar to it] are good options for most of people.
Well done for keeping up with the more powerful Porsche. Both of these cars are beautiful and very much driver focused. Are both vehicles stock standard? Love the Renault.
both excellent driving, but that was freakn too dangerous close for me! did you see how many times the rear of the cayman was going slightly sideways? the cayman was at the traction limit of his tires !
The Megan RS is very impressive, and so is the driver. I don't think that the outcome would have been any different where the Cayman behind the Megan, as suggested. Porsche owner
Beautiful driving!! Is the Megane stock? I'll *never* doubt its abilities, but the darn thing is REALLY fast. I'm just wondering if it's been tampered with. Engine, tires, suspension. :)
Le meilleur motoriste essence en F1 et ailleurs c'est RENAULT. RENAULT is the best engine's maker in the world, who is champion in F1 ? ferrari, porsche, mercedes ? no RENAULT !
The Porsche drvier isn't bad at all, but looks like they might not be that familiar with the track... then again, it takes about 200 laps before you even begin to know the Ring.
***** According to Jackie Stewart who may have lapped that track as much as anyone alive, except maybe Sabine Schmitz, you never really get to know that track. Stewart also said it was his most despised track of all - but it was a job.
This is Sabine cleaning up the track... To me, it is obvious she knows it well... www.carthrottle.com/watch-sabine-schmitz-humiliate-every-other-driver-at-this-nurburgring-race/
Very nice driving. Also Cayman did good job blocking,but it is clear that Cayman is bit stronger so it is very difficult to overtake on a straight line,anyhow good driving both cars...
Sorry guys. It is true, a Megane is much easier to drive quick. But the Cayman R just played a bit with the Megane for fun. The driver of the Cayman R held the record for street legal cars on Nordschleife for several years.He knows the track better than 99,9% of the drivers and had a lot of fun playing with this megane.Also had a passenger onboard and gave him a nice show ;) He was probably smiling as the Renault passed him.He drove relaxed to let the Renault keep up.
Mes 2 voitures favorites...J'ai eut l'occasion de piloter une Cayman S sur circuit; c'est vraiment le panard...Mais la Mégane...C'est LA bagnole de course accessible pour mec qui sait piloter. Un jour j'en aurais une...
But its fun to see how while the Porsche is struggling trough corners, Megane seems to go trough so smoothly and with ease, and its FWD. It clearly has much more grip than Porsche.
Well the Porsche driver is clearly not some amateur or someone who's on the ring for the first time. He's taking good lines, and he's driving on the limit because you can see how twitchy the car is trough almost every corner.
The cayman was faster in some straights yes, however the megane showed superior cornering ability. If that is chassis or driver capability of either machine or driver it cannot be fairly commented on without a test of both cars with the same driver. I think you would find on a wider track the renault would pass and leave the cayman far earlier but with all the traffic slowing them both down it was far more difficult. Slipsteam is not good for everything, braking for example..
RENAULT SPORT & PORSCHE are the both same builders in theirs categories of sportcars and supercars : Not the most powerfull cars in the start of a race but always the 1st in the end ^^
I keep watching this video over and over, I am looking to buy a car for track, and hesitating between those 2 exact cars. I see on the other hands some videos of stock Cayman R at Nurburgring doing 7:53 in traffic... But this Megane is so close for 20K Eur less that I really don't care about the brand or the fact Cayman R will be very collectible... really hard choice! :)
Incredible then... I am looking for a car for track days, still hesitating between two 2 cars (Cayman R PDK, Megane Trophy) + the Mighty R26R. The driver of the Megane Trophy seems really pro, if we put him in the Cayman R, will he be able to pull away from the Megane :)?
Der Megan kommt so viel besser durch die Kurven. Das liegt ja wohl auf den Reifen. Lob an den Fahrer sehr gut gefahren. Wäre interessant ob der Porsche mit gleichen Reifen dem Megan wegfahren kann.
The fact is that Megane owner (?) is good driver, you can clearly see he knows this track well... Which car is better? Imagine You can choose one of them and take it home for free... Which one You will take? :-)
megane rs...une légende!
Good passing before Kleine Karusell!! FUN to watch :-)
Thx!:)
Also, you always had him where it counts - in the corners. He had power and Cx advantage and still you nailed him :) Anyone can step on an accelerator on a straight, but you obviously have skill.
Megane RS 2014 in 03.05.2012
see what a beautifully engineered 30Keuros is capable to do to an overpriced racing car.... I would have the Megane any day, a very sharp car. Impressive driving, boy you know what you're doing
Although I agree the megane is a fast car (I have one) with an equal good driver the cayman will be faster as well.
Ein Cayman R zum Frühstück :)
This was beautiful to watch 5 years on.

Pollendu13 très belle réflexion
Very good driver in Megan, and a very good race. Real adrenaline rush!!!
great driving with megane rs, it is obvious that you are faster than porsche driver.
On this track, rider and experience are everything

Yes, because only Porsche were slowed up by every car and bike and Megane can drive through them. It worked for both of them.

@@TheEazyE very true its been blocking the megane rs but the driver waited for the perfect moment to pass the cayman
RS the best !!!!!!!!!!!
You can say that about any car. the fact is, if both cars are stock (with exception of tires), then the Megane won that battle.
The Megane driver was almost toying with that Cayman. Truly great driving.
what a driving!!! and that renault is capable too.... NICE!
Masterful driving...impressive.
EPIC BATTLE! Bravo to both drivers!
Beautifull driving !

In den Kurven und beim herausbeschleunigen aus der Kurve saugt er sich immer gut ran an den Porche ! Schönes Video!
I want to do something ridiculous, sell my scirocco R and get the new facelifted megane RS, am i crazy?
Nope.
my dad has one, it's fucking mental. grips like nothing ive ever seen. the LSD makes it feel like a go kart
Absolutely not!
i would have bought RS anyway. sick of VW,AUDI making boring cars for ponces.
Buy the new 275 trophy R =) Enjoy

Impressive driving. Hardly an apex missed and very good gear shifting. Well done.
thanks!
Меган пожирает порше в поворотах,рено красавцы!!!!И тормоза не перегреваются!!!Отличное видео!
Very nice driving guys ! Thanks !
Renault..... the master of high speed cornering
Richtig gut gefahren! Hut ab hat mir sehr sehr gefallen, Respekt :) Da merkt man die Nordschleifen Erfahrung :)

Awesome race ! Very nice drive . The rs is very strong !
The Megan RS is very impressive, and so is the driver. I don't think that the outcome would have been any different where the Cayman behind the Megan, as suggested.

Much better driver in the RS

Trop fort!!!!!! Megane the BEST than ever!!!
Very nice driving. Also Cayman did good job blocking,but it is clear that Cayman is bit stronger so it is very difficult to overtake on a straight line,anyhow good driving both cars...
megane rs is a Beast in the corners!!
Nice driving!
Pure joy...

Super video

Great video...

Nice video. Truly impressive. A question: is that the stock exhaust, or is it a custom (like Milltek for example)?
Richtig geil!

La classe mg !
Very nice, I have a Clio 200 running 270bhp 415nm would love to do a lap of the ring. Good vid also!
Hi!
Stock Megane,
only Tyres: Michelin Pilot Sport Cup in 235-40-18
Super MEGANE!!!
Excellent faultless driving! The Renault performs more than 265 hp, right? ;-) Porsche driver not bad at all, nice video!
Verdammt gut gefahren, Respekt ! Renault forever !
straight line : Porsche.
curves and corners... RS rules !!
Renault is the best... by miles !!
The cayman was faster in some straights yes, however the megane showed superior cornering ability.

Hmm great vid clearly the caymen had more straight line power, however the rs 265 killed it in the twisties great handling car :)
Sir, very well done!
Have to say that Renault has plenty of punch ! Not as quick on the straight but handled superb, nice driving !!

But this Megane is so close for 20K Eur less that I really don't care about the brand or the fact Cayman R will be very collectible... really hard choice! :)
bravo !!! excellent
nice men, Very nice Race !!!!
the video starts at hatzebach and the track starts at döttinger höhe roundabout 1,5 min earlier so it fits !
Incredible then... I am looking for a car for track days, still hesitating between two 2 cars (Cayman R PDK, Megane Trophy) + the Mighty R26R. The driver of the Megane Trophy seems really pro, if we put him in the Cayman R, will he be able to pull away from the Megane :)?
Der Megan kommt so viel besser durch die Kurven. Das liegt ja wohl auf den Reifen. Lob an den Fahrer sehr gut gefahren. Wäre interessant ob der Porsche mit gleichen Reifen dem Megan wegfahren kann.
yea i know that feeling! driving a porsche makes many other drivers much more aggressive and it really is unnecessary to risk anything because of them
The fact is that Megane owner (?) is good driver, you can clearly see he knows this track well... Which car is better? Imagine You can choose one of them and take it home for free... Which one You will take? :-)
Goooood new Megane Rs is the best nice
Amazing !
very good driver megane rs top car
great chase!
don't forget de driver bro!!! He is the King of the Ring too ... ;-)
this megane rs is true hot hatch king.
