AFTERMATH of F1 Driver SENDING the BMW M4 over the Nürburgring 

Well you guys overloaded the website and it’s down 🤣🤣🤣. Secondly one quick update. The motor was replaced last year after the car hit a curb and lost all Of its oil and killed the bearings. But as mentioned here it’s still a 100% stock replacement :-)

We all should be thankful to Misha for: 1. Not talking during the lap 2. No putting some shitty music/other sounds during the lap 3. Filming this whole masterpiece 4. Sharing this movie with us 5. Aftermath explained in this movie 6. Transparency - Kubica did not take 19 but 36 laps From me: thanks Misha! I am planning to go to the Nürburgring and Apex will be definitely my only choice :-)

Shows you how good of a driver Robert K. is.. he was humble enough to ask for pointers and the guy was a rally driver not just F1.. he also completely rebuilt himself after a huge accident... amazing content Misha love the haters LOL.. most of them have never been on track before so F em!!! Trolls

BMW owe Apex and Kubica a bit of marketing money for this - he fucking HAMMERED that thing, and it's not significantly modified, and it took everything he could throw at it. Really impressive stuff to get that many fast laps out of it with no maintenance.

Robert Kubica is inspirational! Even though he's pretty much driving with only one had he's faster than 99.9% of drivers. His F1 comback didn't work out for him, but him even being able to come back is a great achievment in itself! Great video aswell!

I was on the ring that day in the GT86. He was so fast but really save. He took no changes overtaking me in a much slower car and with a much slower driver. So it looked really fast it was. He was kind he even waved at me when i gave way at him at the end of the Video. Great Video Misha.

I"d would feel safer riding with Robert Kubica doing 200 MPH than with a taxi driver in a parking lot.

It doesn’t matter if you lost money, the video is an instant classic that will live on forever!

I love the fact you, as an owner, aren't complaining about the cost of Robert full sending a car. I remember watching a video of some guy renting a Lambo and bitching for about 15 minutes because someone drove it to it's absolute limits. If you continue being this good of a boss I see many good things coming to you in the future.

7.24 in a "Stock" car... Thats very impressive! Kubica is a very fast driver! He has no fear! Always liked him because he dares to push to the limit!

Still in better shape than Williams after quali😂

The engine is stock !? Mr Kubica overtake those cars with stock engine !? My god.

I was genuinely curious about exactly this since I watched the lap..............

Can't wait to book you as an instructor when I turn 87! That sounds like a terrific idea

Impressive how racing cars can do a whole 24h of racing, must be another level of engineering

Pleased to hear Robert is a humble driver who even came and asked for some advice on the laps. There’s plenty of people who drive that track thinking they are the best.

Makes you realize why f1 season costs 400 mil

Thanks for the update! I believe that the conclusion everyone must reach is that: 1 - your m4 is an extremely tough and well engineered car. Withstand 750km of driving like shown in the previous video, going only through tires and pads is great. The wheel bearings I believe are perks of a hard driven track car. It happens. 2- you have very good pricing on that 12 lap package. Keep on with the great infformative videos! Cheers

100% respect for You and Robert. Greetings from Poland and good luck for You and Your team! Your channel is definitely worth watching!!

Shows how a good driver can have mechanical sympathy and still be blisteringly fast, maybe less sympathy for the diffuser 😂 so good to watch these more regularly again its like my escape from the disaster the uk is right now 👍

Robert is a strong and great personality. A fighter and one of the best Formula 1 drivers. 💪😊👍 Good Video

So shortly speaking a pro driver "destroys" the car much less than your average client

1:47 "720p camera quality? We are not in 1998 anymore" Meanwhile me watching this in 480p cuz my internet sukz: *sad noises*

I just really appreciate the transparency, don't know why but things like that are really interesting to hear because thats a part of the business you normally don't get in touch with. Foodshot 0/10, hope you can afford something again soon :D

The F80 M3 and M4 are so damn amazing that every time you drive it on track, it puts a massive smile on the face every single time.

Kudos to George - there's a lot of responsibility on mechanics! Great video!

I’ve never seen a Beemer pushed like this… Kubica still has it. He was running down cars on the RING like they were standing still. He pushed that car to 10/10ths like it was nothing for him. There you have a formula 1 driver. I’d love to see Vettel, Hamilton, Kimi, Montoya or Alonso doing the same.

All that's left IS MISHA ARE YOU GOIN TO RACE WITH ROBERT PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN

The moment you took Robert for a ride was a milestone for your channel. I subscribe, as many others, good luck for the future with entertaining us:-)

Hope to see more videos with Robert :)

I really enjoy how you guys just talk pragmatically from your experience and what the car has actually seen. Excited, enthusiastic, but no excess hype. I think this is pretty universal across professional, skilled, competent people with a lot of experience and passion for their craft.

I hope BMW watches this and the Robert lap to see where improvement can be made on their cars. Well done Misha! Amazing documentation on the whole process with time stamps.

Man u are so lucky to have a ride w RK. Rlly positive man u are. Greetings mate. Forza RK

Thank you Misha and George. Great vid! and wonderful to hear such transparency. Like no other company!

I really like these videos with a break down of the car - it’s great to see what the car goes through after some hard laps !! Nice one Misha 👍

Thank you guys for these videos, I'm so happy that I found this channel Misha. I really like the way you do videos, lots of fun, facts and information, and also keeping the focus in the cars/drivers and that spectacular Nürburgring

Thanks for the transparency and insight. I learned a lot and enjoyed it. More like this!

This may be the most interesting and informative video on RU-vid I’ve ever seen. You just got new subscriber👊

Very honest explanation! I loved to see that lap with Robert and was very curious what it would do to the coils, inner fender and wheelbearings. I would've never thought you would show us the aftermath right after :D Thank you so much on sharing and please keep on doing so!

Super happy for you! Thanks for the uncommonly open and honest insights and keep on rocking the business!

A very interesting and entertaining insight to the wear and tear on a track car. The lap with RK was awesome and the M4 handled it brilliantly. Thanks to you and George for this update. One day I hope to come to Apex and drive the green hell. One day...

People have no idea, in general, how much load these cars take. Glad you guys posted this, and as a biz owner, it is nice to see another business transparent. When I come back, I will visit you guys directly. Thanks for the video share. Keep up the great work!!!

. . . Thank you for not talking too much through that video, it's actually nice to feel the lap, the sound of the engine, gear changes, skidding etc... it was a great video, I watched it and shared it with my dad who also loves motorsports and he also enjoyed it very much. Cheers and best regards from 🇨🇦 (Home of Kubica's memorable 2007 & 2008 GP) 😊✌

Wishing you and your team all the best for the future. Excellent service 👏

He did that with the stock engine, oh my gosh XD

This show actually how little you have to do to a car to make it crazy fast and great on track

Love it! So excited for the next chapter of this channel

Great info, very clear and understandable. Thanks and look forward to the next one. You rock Misha!!

I have to agree with Misha and Robert, expirience driver wont brake the car driving it hard as much as avarage driver, like me( and i am driving pretty well!)

One of the best on boards of the ring on RU-vid. The commitment on this lap is insane hope he gets a vln seat !

Love this video. It's awesome to see so much technical detail and maintenance on the cars.

That's very good video man. Actually short and briefly, everything explained without bs.

I completely agreed that having Robert Kubica in your vdo is totally marketing gain. I planned to go to nurburgring this year (but the trip is cancel due to covid situation) and choosing between apex and rsr. That clip make apex the winner for me.

Did anyone notice the unusual angle of Robert's right wrist on the steering wheel when he was driving the M4. His right arm was severely severed in his Ronde di Andora Rally crash in 2011 but it was saved and rebuilt over time by some amazing surgeons. He's a pretty gutsy bloke and I hope we see more of him.

thanks for this awesome video. Love to see all the insight and operations of your business. When I do make it over, will come and support you guys for sure.

Loved this BTS style video! Especially with more of the under the hood focus with your obviously incredible mechanic. I hope we get more of this stuff. It's great to see your channel growing!

I loved that fact you kept silent. I thought that you did it because a) Robert did not need any guidance b) to give him space to focus on driving c) to give us an amazing POV lap with all the sounds (engine and the track) in the background

Phenomenal video, always wondered how hard those kind of laps are on a car.

This kind of videos are one of the best ones here Misha! Thank you!

Very insightful video, all my questions have been answered - superb work, thanks Misha!

200k subscribers are coming Misha. Thank you for the content through the years! I want to learn some marketing "hacks" from you!

Here we can perfectly see what everbody who has driven some endurance races knows: Taking care of the material and beeing conscious about how to drive the car to be fast while not killing the components is a huge part of "Driving Skills"

You really did provide an excellent experience of what it's like when you're in the cabin. Highly appreciated on your part!

Robert K. The sign of a master is that he or she knows there is ALWAYS something to learn.

Thank you for the effort of putting those timestamps in :D

Congratulations on filming that lap it was one of the most exciting that I have seen even if it wasn't the fastest and I think that there will be a lot of people that want to drive that M4 because Robert thrashed the hell out of it.

That is the best video I have seen on RU-vid. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it and share it.

Legendary Robert. I love this guy. He should become one of your taxi-drivers Misha. Up the lap price to repair the cars afterwards 🤗Was it the evil company you worked before who demanded an instructor and didn't recognize Robert? 😐

Your mechanic certainly knows his stuff.. Sounds like he's from the UK... Best of British 👍👍😎.

Super cool, that was neat to learn more about the behind the business aspects. Thanks for sharing Misha!

Some subscriptions come and go, but this channel will forever be my favourite. I've been watching since you were at the "other" place that we won't mention.

Good follow up video. Thumbs up for George, very knowledgeable.

Thank you for making this video, comrades! It was amazing enough to see your video of Kubica driving, but for you to show and explain with such transparency and detail the after effects of his drive is, astounding. These 2 videos were incredibly enjoyable, thank you again

Very much enjoyed the lap with Robert and this follow up, great videos guys. That Suzuki tool box is awesome too.

Appreciate the transparency! Great video, thanks for sharing.

Kubica is living on the other planet, it isn't possibleto be as good as him!!!

I would love to have seen the video of the old boy driving Misha around, it would have been so funny 😂. Great video on how different driving styles can affect a car in different ways. Loving the videos. 👊🏻

That was super informative, loved the breakdown of broken down parts! Would love to see more F1 drivers in the M4 too. I'm sure some of the younger drivers that grew up with Gran Turismo would enjoy it very much!

Great video Misha! Appreciate your transparency.

what did Bob Kube have to say about the video getting 2.5m hits! Something like ' but now I am even more expensive!"

There aren't any surprises here, and I think George shows that in his responses. Wheel bearings are consumable in any circuit use, and as you know the 'Ring is seriously vicious for those. You'd change them before a VLN race, wouldn't you? As for the brakes and tyres.. Doing that distance on 1.5 sets of tyres and still having half the pad left after 750km at near-race pace on such sticky tyres is testament to how well Kubica has managed the car. Thanks for sharing, but anyone saying the cars aren't strong enough is dead wrong. This is seriously impressive.

Cheers for the follow up vid. Great to know the difference between an average driver and an expert. As mentioned. People rarely think of the associated costs in the background. Thumbs up :)

Love the transparency of apex. You say it exactly how it is instead of telling lies and making stuff up. Would love to see some more super fast drivers pushing the taxi 👍👍

Robert drove the hell out that car.

Did I get it right? Basically kubica is nearly as fast with the m4 than a Senna with a normal driver sending it? :)

What an insight you have presented! I enjoyed every bit of it :) Thanks!

Fantastic video to give a good insight into the abuse that the m4 suffered, Kubica was on it with no letting up. Great work to get the video shot and uploaded within hours too.

Great video, I like the "breath of fresh air" that the videos get, like they used to. And as for the m4, what about temperature problems? has anything changed in the cooling?

George (mechanic) seems like such a nice guy. Part of your great team.

Misha!!!!!!!!! Great work man. Happy for you and Robert and the gang. 👍🏿👊🏿

Actually a really interesting insight on the aftermath! Love videos like these 😁

Robert Mitchell looks at the Robert Kubica M4 video view numbers. "But my name is Robert too....." 😥 😁

4:18 and onwards: I second that! Only time I've tried Nürburgring IRL so far was in july 2010 in a caged Suzuki Swift Sport (from RentRaceCar, don't think Theo und Heide runs it more, sadfully?) and 4 laps. First lap was OK, did some safe overtakings and had a feeling of hitting apex 90-95% perfectly for each corner and felt quite a quick lap on cool down from Döttinger Höhe. On 2nd and 3rd lap TONS of traffic! Porsches, Ferraris, the brand new LFA, BMW M4's, E92's and other cars with lots of power. Really, REALLY stressfull constantly having to look in your mirrors. Moreover a lot of drivers seemed not to be able to control the horse power. The constantly interrupted rythm led to some sort of nausea for me, having the thought more times just to park in the grass (though knowing that would not exactly be safety neither, ofcourse - hope ppl don't actually do that) until traffic cleared. Then I tooked a little break and picked up my girlfriend up for the last lap. She stated at least ten times that I should drive slowly, since she's afraid of speed. Before my drive, we had an instruction lap by old Theo himself (ACE driver!) in his Touran (must've been tuned), which made her seasick, sitting in the middle of the back seat- for me his instruction lap was all the money worth itself renting the car). But at lap 4 with my girlfriend in 'guest seat', the heavy traffic was gone, just normal traffic. Said to her that I felt the safest actually driving at speed, not having to look that much in the mirror. After around 30 x "STOP STOP STOOP" she finally relaxed at about Klostertal/Steilstrecke, and seemed accustumed to my driving. So I had my best exhillerating full gas ride between Wipperman throug Pflanzgarten right to Galgenkopf and no noisy sound from the passenger seat, just silence :-) Just this last section (and Theo's instruction lap) was all money worth it, desipite only enjoying less than half of the total distance behind the wheel. And that was in 2010. Now we have 2020 and I imagine it has gotten only worse with heavy trafic, mainly due to all the YT channels and videos which inaugurates new drivers to the track. I've watched (read: admired) Mishas videos the last three years or so and I see a lot of traffic indeed during TouristFahren. So the last couple of years I've had the thoughts to re-enter the track, maybe in a car with more power, but everytime I've have bad thoughts about increasing traffic. ...OK, no...I HAVE to go there again :-)

Pretty nice and good to see the honesty and transparency. Including the price and the things that needs to be replaced. Thumbs up!

Misha I have been waiting for this day for I think like 4-5 years! Finally you uploaded it on the same day! Only realy ogs knows that this is something special! Thank you so much and ofc like always amazing video!

This video should be mandatory to watch for all people saying Motorsport is pointless - Motorsport is exactly the reason we now have access to tech on a level allowing a mostly stock car to survive over 700km of track racing. That means that same tech will not go to bits while you're taking your family on a holiday trip. You can just use it and trust it and not worry about a 1000km motorway trip requiring anything more than refueling once in a while. And all of that thanks to racing and endurance racing in particular

Makes you think how strong must those race cars be built to withstand 24h of Nordschleife... Thanks for APEX for giving Robert proper weapon and thanks heavens or whatever that Kubica met Misha and gave us this content :)

Super interesting video. Thank you for giving us this behind the scenes look.

Misha thank you for this transparent video, you are killing it! As everyone else commented Apex is going to be the only target when visiting Nuerburgring.

Misha, I knew that as a race driver yourself that you were not scared, but enjoying every second of your ride with Robert. Would be interested to know greatest things you learned by this spectacular experience?
