Time to Plan Your NÜRBURGRING TRIP!!! Here is HOW (and why) 

For those going over from the UK, don't forget to contact your insurance company for your Green Card (international certificate of insurance) which you must now carry with you whilst driving in Europe. brexit bullshit! You will also need to carry a Hi-Vis vest, (for each occupant & must be able to reach it from inside your car) spare bulbs, warning triangle, GB stickers and headlight adaptors. The French requirement to carry two Breathalysers is NOT mandatory but simply advised. (All drivers should possess a breathalyser. However, as of the 25th January 2013 a driver can not be penalised for not carrying one. The fine has been postponed indefinitely. The breathalyser has to be a certified by the French authorities, showing an ‘NF’ number. The official text states that one unused breathalyser should be produced. We recommend that two single-use breathalysers are carried, so if one is used or damaged you will still have a replacement to produce.)

You forgot to cover the most important topic Misha, what are the best restaurants in the area for epic food shots or will you dedicate a complete video to that?

I didnt watch the video yet, BUT you guys need to take a lap with Misha, what a joy!! Hope to see you again soon! Big Love from Dubai :)

Let's GOOOOOO nurburgring here I come maybe I'll see misha on the track 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Srećan božić brate Mišo!!

Thanks for this great exploratory video! Great job 👏

I've been waiting years for this, thanks Misha!

Thank you for making this video!! Hope to be there this summer!

Thanks for this Misha!! This is perfect timing as I plan for my visit to Apex from all the way over here in Canada. You must have made this just for me since I mentioned the trip to you and Robert over the last few days. 😁 I'm leaving this video open in a tab so I can refer back to it with my family and the friends we are staying with in Geilenkirchen. Much appreciated!

Great video lots of info I always wanted to know! Time to plan a track day!

Thanks for the video, I’m truly interested in visiting Nurburgring for the first time this year and this video made it much easier. Regards from Portugal!

Excellent video. Always doing a good job for the sake of Nürburgring.

Very informative summary, Misha, thank you!

Absolutely quality misha 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌really cool info and insight into the in and outs of going to the ring 😎😎😎😉👍👌loving the content 👌even in the off season 🙌🙌keep them coming mate 👍

Glad you made this video I really want to come this year from Canada !

Lapping the Nurburgring, yes! Not just in a car, but on a mountain bike! Thanks for the info Misha, I'll try to make it happen!

Evening Misha great informative video again.

Misha......making the Nurburgring experience that much easier and exciting 🤘

Was planning my first trip to the ring yesterday 😂 been watching you for years, if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t know ‘so much’

Happy Christmas Misha. Thank you :)

Anyone making plans at the moment is mental lol

Very helpful. Thank you Misha

Nice mid-90s erotic film music in the background ahah 😁 Good video, good content, as always!

just what I was looking for !

Im so keen to get over there,make some videos and meet the Apex crew!

I cannot wait to schedule a taxi with you guys this coming June!!

‘Airport rentals on the track’ - reminds me of a ‘90s tv programme about two Aussie anglers, who when they had to cross a small rocky ford about 2ft deep and 30ft long in New Zealand, said “ideally you’d use a 4x4, but we have the next best thing - a hire car!”

Would love to book a visit now for a few days in spring. Just can't commit to anything while the UK is in this Covid mess. ☹️☹️☹️☹️

Really liked the music. Despite being your 3rd video on the topic that i watched (recently watched old videos), still a thumbs up for the very informative video!

Misha, its on my bucket list to make it to the Ring. When I do, I'll hope that I can maybe be fortunate enough to meet you and possibly have you drive me around the ring and tell me all your wonderful stories of the beautiful track, surrounding areas, and your experiences. For now, I'll live vicariously through you. Cheers from a carmrade from NY, USA

Hi Misha! Just booked my taxi lap with gt2rs for June today 😅 nice timing thanks for your videos ;) PS : can't wait til June!!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Misha!

Thanks Misha, I was planning going to the green hell for my 18th birthday!

Wery good video Misha. 👍

I did 15 laps last year, and would sacrifice BHP for more track knowledge.

Super helpfull! Thank you, Misha! I am planning to make the dream come true in May. We are bunch of friends form Bulgaria and will arrive with our own cars. Hopefully we will meet in person. :)

Planning to take my 89 starlet to the ring! already got bc coilovers on it but im wondering if i can make it uphill haha

Thank you for this informative episode hope to visit you and apex after corona with my girlfriend ♥

Merry Christmas to you too my slav-brother :)

Thanks to yours and Roberts videos I became enthusiastic about the Nurburgring. I will definitely go this year, but I'm not going to drive in tf because my E36 320i manual is way too shitty for that kind of driving. Did you also drive an E36? I think I saw in your old videos.

We are planning to come to the Ring as part of an organised tour that takes in the Austrian GP. So maybe I'll see you at Apex in July?

Misha ...... I have to say that this video is like dangling a carrot in front of a Donkey 🤣👍 (An excited donkey, at least). Thank You for this Video, as I'm hopefully (after the lifting of restrictions here in the UK) looking towards ticking an item on my bucket list. If Im honest your videos of the "Nordshleiffe Life", is keeping my barely sane. Again thank you.

I live in a rainy place would be fun to drive and have space enough to learn some wet weather steering dynamics. I love the Nordschleife, I feel I must drive it for my mother wanted a lap and never got a chance. Can’t let this happen twice. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘

Hey misha, the driving license you mentioned required for renting needed to be an international driving licence or of the country you are from?

I'll be bringing my own M4 but I think I should detune it to stock. A bit scared but exciting.

Hi - few questions please as I am thinking about booking in June: - Roughly what is the range of prices for the Apex hotel options? - Are deposits required to book rental cars / instruction, say 6 months in advance? - Of course I'm not planning to have an accident, but can I ask how does the excess work - do you actually reserve 39K EUR on a card for the GTS for example? Thanks very much!

Merry Christmas 🎄

Regarding airport rental on the track.. cheapest ride could be the most expensive ride 🤣 I cant plan yet but I've got holidays backed up from last year and hoping towards summer it is possible to get 3 weeks, hopefully we will get that lap done! 👍

I really wanted to drive the GR Yaris, but I got the chance to drive one shortly. Maybe I still want to rent one for some laps, but the Polo or GT86 would also be cool.

What's the optimal balance of ćevapi temperature and driving speed from Zagreb to Nürburg in order to get them still warm upon delivery?

It would be good to get a list of local garages for tyres ,brakes and any general help . We travel from the uk and haven’t had an issue yet but this would be very helpful just incase cheers.

If it’s your first time racing the track, do you have to be accompanied by an instructor in the car ?

Are there different track days, for different beginers and pros, faster and slower cars, or everybody is driving at the same time? When is the best time to drive for beginers? Autumn, Summer or Spring?

Can't wait to come back, our car is being upgraded (brakes, clutch, suspension), we've been at Apex several times with the Jagermeister E30 last year , this year we want to rent the M4, and visit the 'Ring at least 12 times. best wishes to you MIsha....

Im planning on 2 trips this year, from Denmark! One in car and one on motorcycle!!! And if the funds are with me. A trip around the ring with mr misha is on the wishlist

Hopefully this summer I can get some more laps in! Last year was my first time on the ring but my girlfriend didn’t feel very well after 1 lap hahah

You mentioned that you need a drivers license and a credit card. Ive heard that if you rent a car you have to provide a credit card for insurance purposes...is this the case? And how much money does the card has to have in it?

Nurburgring - Misha's favorite place to crash? Would love to do a ride and drive there. On my bucket list.

Hey Misha, nice video! The website seems to be down... invalid HTTPS certificate, and regular HTTP doesn't seem to work ("no content"). /Stefan

What about if somebody else crashes in one of your rentals?

Are there any trips of you planned, where you arent on the ring so we cant meet you? When will devils diner open? Will there be still pancakes? Did Nürburgring rised any costs like singlelap or yearly subscrition price? Which restaurant are recommended by you? Whats out there around the ring you can do instead of Car things? I would lobe to see you and robert in the offroadpark.

Not watched the video yet but hope I'll still be able to come visit the track one day. From the UK so not sure what I can do, especially if I want to bring my own car. Very sad to not still be part of EU.

Woep! Change the pads on my Forester STI and let's goooo

Really want to visit from the States. How much German do I absolutely need to know to get around Germany, and how much German is recommended to know?

its on my list Misha. what is a rough cost for staying at the Apex ? thanks Gordon

Too late, Christmas trackday discounts have ended 😜

Gotta begin a new year with BG music! 😉

Good video

Dont know If its possible to explain it better than you did Misha 😍👍

I was always wondering, that the Corona lockdown does not affect the Nürbürgring at all

Background music is oddly soothing

I would desperately love to plan our annual Nürburgring outing, however with the state our country is in(UK) at the moment it's looking like a very very remote prospect. Never say never though, and we really want to come biking with you

Will the parking area at the GP track be open during TF just like last year? Any tips or tricks regarding getting a season ticket? (Jahreskarte)

I was wondering if the track during weekdays, any other time before 5pm and after 7pm is it fully closed or partially open at sections. If open at sections, does it function like the track, ie single lane / direction?

Hi Misha, hope you are doing well, what if a 17 year old drove in tf without a license? would it be ilegal, such as driving on public roads or could it be possible? Thanks

One of my dreams is to drive my Volkswagen T3 multivan from 1988. She has only a 1.9 Turbo Diesel engine that makes 75hp... I would prefer to do that when there is only a few people, just to not to be a pain in the ass for other drivers, because I would be SLOW, VERY SLOW. When is better to go? And which hours, 9 to 11 am?

Nice! How to buy tickets for TF? You buy them before the lap to get a ticket, right?

I have a question regarding insurance on your rental cars. What does the insurance actually cover in the event of a crash? The reason that I'm asking this is because I know that there was a customer that had crashed one of your cars and he had to pay for a percentage of the damage. So I'm just wondering how it all works. Thank you and hope to visit the ring (and Apex) one day!

6th of march already? Are spectators allowed this time or is that not decided yet?

Does the 24h happen with spektators?

What Is Germany’s covid19 procedures for Tourists arriving from USA?

Hey Misha 👍 I live in Australia, do I need a international licence to drive and rent vehicles ? Or will my Australian licence be enough ? Cheers

Hé Misha, How about insurence for Dutch cars? As far as I know, there is not a single insurence company that covers the Nürburgring. Yet, a lot of Dutch people drive TF (including myself)

that lift music is.... not for me! anyway I hope I'll have some instruction lap this year with you!

It's also my birthday 🤪 Question for people with pre-bookings for 2020, we got notice that our credit will be valid until Dec 2021. Given that South Africa is under travel restrictions again due to new mutated variant, will you be willing to extend the validity of the credit, in case it's still a f#ckup at that point.

Idemoo

I wish i can go there one day ,😪

2021 here i come

So with tourists garden you don't have the long straight?

Hi Mischa! Good content as always Feel free to remove this q if you want to answer this on a summit video or so instead. I have a question about barrier damage How big crash / damage does it have to be to consider as ”barrier damage”? Have seen som dents ( and purple schratches ) here and there on the barrier And can i buy insurance for that as well. Peace 🤘

Hey Mischa, due to Covid i have saved up 4000€, and I don’t want to go on standard beach vacation. My dream is to get some experience (I only drove a few hours on the simulator) on the nürburgring and so my plan is to spend a couple of days there. Can you make give me a advice, or when other people are also interesset, a Video what would be the perfekt combination with about this amount of money. My idea would be something like that: 1st day: a taxi lap and afterwards two laps with an instructor (Polo/218i) and four laps without. At night hopefully good conversations with drivers and car enthusiasts 2nd day: 4 laps with the Polo/218i in the morning and six laps with the Cupra in the afternoon 3rd day: Six laps with the m2 (two of that with the instructor) Is this a good combination or shoud I more drive with less powerful cars, or should I split it, or is the money thrown away, or is a trackday better? (I am from Austria, working at BMW Engine development, my driving skills are some prototype driving licenses)

Hey, Misha. Does Germany cover driver licenses from other countries, outside the EU? Asking for a Brazilian friend, you see...

Should I bring my car or my motorbike?

Notification squad

Why don't you have a classic car in the rental fleet? Sorry if this has been answered before :)

And my nameday 🍻🥳

I only speak English (Cleveland, Ohio) can I manage from airport to Apex without speaking German?

its also my mom's birthday :D

En het advies om de eerste keer met een instructeur de Nordschleife op te gaan. And the advice to go up the Nordschleife with an instructor for the first time.
