It has been 8 years since a last drove a lap. It has become way to crowded and risks got way higher. Just wasn't worth it to me anymore.
Untill recently, on an early Sundaymorning. No waiting times and not to many cars on the parking. Just like 10/15 years ago. Went for it and really enjoyed the lap! |

Obviously it's on every mans mind to avoid a collision when driving on the 'Ring and this vid shows that even expert Misha Charoudin has to use all his prowess to avoid collisions from other less attentive drivers while driving 'Ring customers own cars. His own collision into the armco in a GT186 at 12:00 was probably due to suspension or component failure rather than from him.

Have to put on Part 2 also...as if I wouldn't, ha !
Misha adds that oil spills and vehicle debris on the track are an added risk that needs a sharp eye as well as concentrating on your track position and what's around you obviously meaning this is no walk in the park for anybody wanting a quick lap. |

I think there are a lot of people fed up with "ring king" Misha.
To be honest, I've always watched his video's in the past and liked them very much. But his tone and attitude have changed over the years and not in a favourable way in my opinion. But hey, to each their own. |

No, locals and people who know what they are talking about. For my own part, I did not see a single shred of evidence to support the claim of suspension failure. Surely he would have publicised a mechanical failure to redeem his reputation???

You have an opinion on every video you link....how about posting some evidence of you being there? Videos take effort to record, edit and upload. Most people arent interested in recording videos, I rarely do.

Misha has a lot of close calls because he is a wreckless driver. He drives around people like they are race drivers, expecting them to see him, when they are not.

As far as his collision with barrier goes it wasn't a definite from me that it was suspension or something else, he turned the wheel and nothing happened so I'll put it down to an oil spill he hit, should make sense or you can believe the local hearsay that say this and that. |

How about an M3 E46 mated with an M5 V10 engine and a DCT, dry sump lube from container in the boot..and if you don't like Misha's accent then that's too bad
Hop on board this unbelievable ride. Owner: ''The car needed a good driver'' Misha: ''The best car I've driven on here'' Last edited by M5Rick; 05-22-2024 at 11:39 AM.. |

It's still fun to be there, but less fun to drive laps because of all the drama. So I try to do my laps when it's reasonably quiet if I do any at all. |

I try to only head down in April and September or later. Even then I like to stick to weekdays or first runs on the weekend. It’s gotten way too crowded and full of Instamorons.
