Honda vtec + British chassis engineering from 1959= one very strange but potent parcel.Did any one else notice it passes bikes wit no problems?.As a biker this really perturbs me.
Absolutely great driving. I own a classic mini (a 1973 innocenti 1300 export) with adjustable sway bars front and rear and coils Springs sach adjustable shocks and 13 in 7 inch mini lights, and I know what it's like to oversteer at about 85 miles an hour. Small movements with the steering wheel. Mine's a bored and stroked to 1480cc at about a hundred 135 horsepower with a mini Sport five speed close ratio box and a 4;11 final drive. Fantastic driving.
Slightly strange lines in places but cant disagree, this looks like entirely too much fun! Have been passed a few times by Herr ringmini whilst not hanging around, that thing shifts!
Nice video, cool car, great engine. Good combination with the driver. Must of been quite a task to fit that engine there. I´m working on a 1977 Honda Civic, with this engine (1600cc V-Tech 162 HP), not easy...
I agree, this isn't a final qualifying run. You did a great job demonstrating how well a 30+ year old car with a ton of power and traction can compete despite a driver not following a line, passing on the outside, inside, on the grass, overcompensating on almost every curve. This car should never skid. I love this video, I just wish the run or driver was better.
the ring is not classed as a race track, it is officially a toll road so no helmet needed just pay your toll and off you go! I'm still waiting for a pay rise to build the ultimate v-tech mini its been a long time in development but plans are progressing well. watch this space....
old british cars handle very very well..i have one my self i can most bends at 80mph+ and we have round abouts here and in the wet i can do one at 50mph (depending on the size of it) but its not easy !! all on private property by the way ;) i own a round about :D
That 'lol' comment was a reply to a stig type top gear comment asking if you had brake lights in buttocks, but it would seem youtube has displayed it elsewhere. Anyways, Great drivin, I want one!!
I can still feel the VTEC kicking 17 years later, great video from the golden age

Apparently there are some hidden gems on UA-cam. How the hell did I find such an amazing vintage video?
This looks like the most fun anyone has ever had. I particularly like 5:49.
Insane! No roll cage, no helmet. Rear view mirror can barely hang on to the windshield. Got to make one of these. Sounds great.
He is very very fast. He past me last Sunday on the Nordschleife. Its amazing to see how he keeps the car on the track!
You sir, are god. Not only do you have THE coolest car ever, you also can drive it. Thank you for making that video.
That is fantastic, i love the way the tyres are scrubbing for grip!
easily one of my favorite videos on youtube
man..you REALLY hear it when it engages the VTEC...sweet car,EXCELLENT DRIVER

b16 has that characteristic sound.
sounds nice
This mate build up many cars for the ring, he has driven the ring almost every day of his life. He still knows his stuff, believe me. ;-)
That was awesome! He looked like he didnt have control of the car a few times! Awesome!
the vtec sounds amazing in this little thing :)
Love the mini, can watch this over and over, gives me a semi every time.
I watched this from beginning to end to. I don't know why. It's way too awesome
what a great little thing, to throw it around the best racetrack ever...i want one, too!
That looked like an absolute BLAST!!! I can't wait to get my mini shipped here to the states.
really nice that mate. im glad its not just my mirror that has a mind of its own
this video is by far the best video ive ever watched on youtube !
Someone got some serious driving skills!
Good job mate
Uno de los mejores videos que he visto en youtube referentes a clasicos y pilotaje.Simplemente asombroso.
Whatch his left knee and elbow take weight of his body as he takes a right hand bend.THIS MAN IS A GOD.
Already a UA-cam classic!
Truly awesome driving!
great car, great driver, great track... I doesn't get any better than this
Loving the casual rear view mirror adjustments at 4:40 :D
The car setup is fantastic. no understeer for this one. BAD ASS!

3:30 He's passing a motorcycle. Holy shit, that's one fast Mini...
I love it! If you look at the way the car handles its like a big shifter kart :D

This dude knows how to handle the car, I would crash instantly.
Very good driving skill! The engine roaring sound is so beutiful. Well done mate.
Damn!!!! That is bats@!t fast. I love how it sounds.
Damn sweet ride buddy. Good control too. I was told they drive like a go-cart. Cant imagine what its like all suped up.
Brilliant video and great driving.

Nutter! Absolutely amazing, wicked car, and he made it look so easy too!
that is a DAMN good sounding car
Balls of steel, no wait screw, balls of TITANIUM.
Slightly strange lines in places but cant disagree, this looks like entirely too much fun!
Have been passed a few times by Herr ringmini whilst not hanging around, that thing shifts!
this is the fastest mini I ever seen! :D
the man knows the track...i wanna see a 200hp mini on his hands
Pity you couldn't go faster and really open it up, but it looked like a nice Sunday drive. I must do it someday.
if i ever plan a bank job.........im having this bloke
as the getaway driver....
god this thing sound so awesome. i wish my honda motor sounded that good.
Great Video! Ide like to drive there one day.
Nice driving dude.. Did anybody see that bus lol theres no wonder our buses dont turn up on time
Screw the rest of the track look at 5:48 this guy has BALLS!!!!!!

wow what a fantastic video. this is art.
Nice video, cool car, great engine.
Good combination with the driver.
Must of been quite a task to fit that engine there.
I´m working on a 1977 Honda Civic, with this engine (1600cc V-Tech 162 HP), not easy...
First time I watched this vid, I didnt atually watch it, just let it play and listen to the Vtech and Tires Screeching.
Uh I just love the sound of the vtec!
I agree, this isn't a final qualifying run.

That was awsome! Thank you. I might suggest getting rid of the rear view mirror though. Ha!
Flat out and fearless.
this guy is my hero
the northern part of the track is classed as a public road so it could just be a daily bus.
I'm gonna say the only thing I can say with my foot, MORE!..... nicely done
I got my driver's licence 16 years ago when this dude was drifting around in a mini on the Nurburgring.
Alla grande,mini sempre mini!!!!
awesome..best clip ive seen on you tube..an no helmet!
nice..without helmet n roll cage..so brave..
the ring is not classed as a race track, it is officially a toll road so no helmet needed just pay your toll and off you go!

Best chassis and a fucking awesome engine a king of the ring
WoW! it's like a VTEC go-kart!
Honest driver. Well done
Still a legend in 2020

just the noise is enough for me! yummmm
WOW!!!!! that looks fun!!!!!!!
holy shit, deadly but brilliant driving..
That's one loud cross over into vtec lol
Open track days, everyone can come with whatever they want, as far as I know.
I never saw a coach there though....
This is just so fun to watch!!
You are absolutely mental. Nice driving.
man you need a damper on that camera mount lol. sick ride!
Very good driving!
That 'lol' comment was a reply to a stig type top gear comment asking if you had brake lights in buttocks, but it would seem youtube has displayed it elsewhere. Anyways, Great drivin, I want one!!
@ 5:50 - DAMN!!! High speed drift and save.
You lived my dream XD one day i will also live that ^^ hopefully i'll be as ballsy as you were looks like the best way to do it :P great vid.
That is one fuckn fast vtec mini!!!

G-force mirror. Great.
You need to go round again with a new high resolution camera!
NICE driving!!!!!
WOW!!! GR8 DRIVING!!!
hes driving the hell out of it! LOVEEE! :D
WOW!!! I am speechless...
Very good driver, VERY cool car. Needs another (long) final gear, but very entertaining, nonetheless.
A lusterko fajnie się złożyło na karuzeli :)
Beautiful!
@boilingpoint2 depends on the year, its 600 odd KG MAX. so its like a 300bhp/ton car more or less
