LOL I guess I should call it “The Joy of Driving” then...

@ You hear those squeals? Those are from the tires. Happy little tires.

It's Alan prost.. If we're going to go back.

I said that before!!👌😎👍

Thank you! Enjoy! I've been gone for 2 days and i miss it already...

It’s pure fun and you can do whatever you want with it, if you enjoy raw driving it won’t let you down. And there’s a lot of tuning options if you want to go that way. Glad you liked it!

Thank you! Glad you liked it :D

Thanks! Agreed, it was a very nice day with almost no traffic and decent weather. I regret now not going for more laps that day(i had only 2 left on my card), to be honest.

chirivita always quit while you're ahead especially on the Nurburgring. Nice lap btw👍🏻

Thank you! Yeah, that's exactly why i didn't go for more :)

Hahaha low-budget G-metter!

Yeah, there's little room for improvement with the current setup. Better tires and suspension next time!

Thank you! Yeah, there's nothing to do about that...

Thank you! :)

Thanks! I was faster this year... But there’sstill a lot to improve!

Thank you!

Thanks! :)

Thanks! :D

PSC2 with stock suspension is a great combo, already very capable! You can check my videos from 2016-2017 for that. I did drive on the ring with that setup on the wet, and it was fine. Much better than direzzas and although you need to be careful in some places, I really enjoyed it.

Thank you. The BMW is a friend of mine, he was just warming up to go full attack on the next lap(he did some under 8' laps that day). BTG is always without the straight ;) Right now this is the fastest BTG lap for a GT86 as far as i know, that's for both stock and modified cars! The fastest lap around the complete track with a stock car(on RE050A tires though) is 8:44.90, made by the great Horst von Saurma(who is probably one of the most experienced drivers at the Ring) for the german magazine "Auto Motor und Sport". Take around 20-25 seconds off that time and you get an estimate BTG time.

that means he would do sub 8:20 stock on re050a and maybe even a sub 8min stock power with ad08 forge wheels and brembos bbk

@@patthonsirilim5739 a brembo bbk would hardly make any difference with the stock engine. The stock brakes are good enough with uprated pads, fluids and braided lines.

Menudo fail xD Efectivamente es el BMW de Hard_Driver.

Thanks! Yes, stock suspension :)

Cccc yes, i always turn everything off.

Gracias! Ya me gustaría vivir allí... Fui en 2015 y en 2016, he dado 19 vueltas hasta ahora. Este año no pude ir pero para el siguiente espero desquitarme a gusto y seguir mejorando.

Around 150kmh, but it can be done a bit faster.

There's always room for improvement, but i'm happy with it as it is engine-wise, power is not the deciding factor to go fast around corners. This video is one of the fastest BTG laps of a GT86 you can find, which kinda proves my point ;)

agreed but that car form what i can see is stuck at few section just trying to accelerate espcially during the faster section with abit more power it sure can cut a fair chunk of the time

Sure, this track needs power to cope with the fast, uphill sections. There's still time to be gained without modifying the engine though, that's my personal "challenge".

@ some day it would be fun to try a BRZ on this track. Hope not you are driving the oem 0w20 oil. Plenty of breakdowns because of that waterlike eco co2 oil

Knut Endre Ringhagen if you ever get the chance, you won’t regret it! It feels at home. Concerning the oil, Toyota says to use 5w30 here in Spain and that’s what I’ve been using since the first oil change, never had any issues :) However I just ordered an oil cooler to make sure the car can do 20-30+ Nordschleife laps on a trackday, endurance is key.

Thanks! BTG stands for Bridge To Gantry, the standard lap-timing for tourist drives since you don't get to do the full lap.

I don't, but i may get one in the future.

Thanks! It didn't take too long to warm up the tires, and they are really good! I want to try some Trofeo R or Direzzas next year though. Stock tires are completely useless lol.

Honestly if you just want this to be an easy to maintain race car, just change up the exhaust and intake, and tune it. Makes a world of difference

The guys who say that don't understand this car!!!

@@Alex-ck4in i've driven this car and understand it. Love the handling. Still it misses 40hp. With 40hp more it would still be the same handling car. Just look how a cheap bmw e36 pulls away in the straights. That is my problem with this car. Why buy this to 30k when a cheap e36 can do same or better lap times?

Si bien es cierto que da lo mejor de sí por encima de 5000, se puede ir muy rápido sin pasar de 4500 siquiera. Abajo responde mejor de lo que crees.

Pilot Sport Cup 2, yes. The previous year with Super Sports i was 20 seconds slower, but there are other things to consider so it's not an exact comparison. On smaller tracks(2-4km) they can give you around 1 to 3 seconds per lap. And they're less prone to overheating so you can go for longer stints.

I bought it new in February 2015 but it was built in 2012(they had it in stock since then...) I was around 55.000km at that time, and i'm now over 83.000km. No issues so far.

Original GoPro’s suction mount on the rear window ;)

Indeed!

I don't know what you mean, i usually change around 7200-7400rpm when going fast like in this video. Max power around 6800rpm. There are a couple of corners on the Nordschleife where you are faster by holding a gear instead of downshifting though.

i wasn't watching at the rpm-gauge. i was just guessing by sound, and it seems i was guessing wrong. nice ride anyway, and good btg-time.

I get it now hahahaha, it's very quiet indeed, inside you get some intake noise with a resonator (which i personally like) but it is too quiet. I have a new exhaust now ;)

Thanks! You don't need a helmet on public sessions at the Nordschleife ;)
