"Oversteer is when the passenger is scared. Understeer is when the driver is scared" Jens is a gigachad, lmao

Sometimes it's scary to realize what your car can actually do

Dude probably had an higher heartrate than Misha all lap. Can't blame him knowing the price and likely emotional price of this RS7. But if you've asked Misha, you might think you'd trust him driving haha

I totally sympathise with the guy. First time I was on a track with a professional it was in a nothing more than a standard 330i with three other guys in the car and I was still absolutely terrified. It's a system shock for the uninitiated.

Imagine what would happen if the gearbox really suddenly decided to switch to reverse

Easy to laugh at his reaction but most people have never been in a 600hp car let alone being driven by Misha on the Ring! Excellent video as always!

Jens is a freaking legend. He handled it pretty good for someone that was about to put a steamer in his pants. 🤣

For Misha: Chilled lap. For Jens: 20km of code brown.

I really enjoyed the way you interacted with the passenger in this one Misha. Your driving as always is on point but you kept this in car atmosphere lovely and calm. Excellent

that gearbox is toast. I've driven many RS6 / RS7 and none of them had that issue.

That guy was nervous, thank god it didn't go into reverse mid bend, lol. Terrific driving as always Misha!

His wife in the back seat was way more relaxed, she was even having fun! Yellow, my savior, great news 🙂

You can name that lap as "looking for the yellow" ;) Now his Audi dealer have reasons to repair ASAP the gearbox issues if they don't want a lot of viewers really upset about a 100k+ € car, almost brand new, with that really expensive issue.

Surprised how well the stock RS7 seems to be handling the track. Likeable owner as well.

Misha always having the tyre pressures on display now.

What a trooper 👏 looked scared the entire run 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what Misha does best!!! Time off his life

The grunt he made at T-13 made me think he wasnt gonna make it through the lap without throwing up 😅

“She handles better than my nerves” This line made me laugh! 🤣👍🏼

Für jemanden, der scheinbar keine Rennsporterfahrung hat, kennt der Besitzer die Strecke aber sehr genau :) Hoffe er bekommt das mit der Automatik in der Griff und als Händler würde ich mir genau überlegen, ob ich nur das Getriebe oder später eventuell noch den Motor auf Garantie (Folgeschaden) auf mein Kosten übernehmen will. Kann aber auch nur was mit der Sensorik/Steuergerät sein, da die Anzeige mehrere Fehler rausgehauen hat. Will dem Halter auch nicht zu Nahe treten aber hier sieht man mal wieder sehr gut, dass man sein ganzes Leben lang im Auto unterwegs gewesen ist, ohne je richtig gefahren zu sein. Geht mit eurem Auto mal auf ne Strecke, macht ein Training mit etc. Kann euch oder auch jemand anderem das Leben retten und viel Leid ersparen. Mir hatte es bereits 1x geholfen als ich im Winter durch Glatteis in den Gegenverkehr gerutscht bin.. Grüße an die Mini-Fahrerin an der Stelle und sorry für den Shockmoment. Schönes KFZ und angenehmes Video :)

When you think you have a fast car and think you are a race driver. then Micha drives your car.

This is so fun to see such a large variety of different cars and car owners on a lap having an experience! These videos are great! :))

That is my mum whenever I go 5kmph over the limit 😂

Awesome video, loved seeing the RS7 go around. The brakes are something I could look at for hours. It really is a shame when these “newer” cars have issues like this one did. I’ve already had to lemon a car of mine for gearbox issues as well 😅.

All these people in the comments flaming him for being scared or not knowing the capabilities of the car really upset me. He probably bought the car as a "Daily" and just wanted to enjoy a weekend of Nordschleife. Who are you to tell someone which car to buy? Or do I have to sit in my Tracktool on my way to work? Calm the F down...

It is so engaging how Misha drives in total chill, brakes early, being subtle in the corners, while the owner is in big time shitting in pants mode. Plus he's giving instrunctions like watch out for the ABS at the jump :D

Not sure what’s it’s called in Audi term but could be the TCM (Transmission Control Module) at fault. Maybe a re-flash or replace would help sort it out. Thx for another excellent driving from Misha and the owner for sharing this great video! ❤

I like the fact the ODO clicked over to 15,000kms as you were at 195 :)

So good. Reminds me of a ring taxi ride with my parents. The gearbox stuff may be related to a steering wheel module or the "clock spring" not communicating shift commands via paddles. If the shift selector has gear change ability, id try that before blaming the gearbox. Hopefully the dealer has a test circuit out back!

9:00 i like it when Misha says that his wife is way more relaxed, he says she has better nerves and she is like, Was denn ? Der fährt doch sehr sicher! What do you mean, he is driving very safe. but nearly 130 degrees oil on a stock car and im pretty sure with something like a 0W30. uff i really dont want to know, how the engine feels, when its chip tuned and going all out.

It's funny how for Misha it's just another day in the office but all of his passengers are screaming on the inside

He underestimated the drive(r) and car from the first second. But he kept his humor, and let you do your thing, even with his fear, honorable. P.S. The lady did not flinch at all :D Great stuff Misha. Mooi om ook een klein beetje Duits bij te leren via jouw video's :)

Great way to test the dealer repair work on the gear box

i love it , impressive machine over engineered, the poor gearbox i hope it gets better soon

Many thanks for this great lap. I love your Videos!!

He now knows what his car can d, bless him being so scared and joyful at the same time

This is so cool. The owner is definitely having some stress but I'm guessing he hadn't felt that alive in a very long time and was actually impressed with the ability of Misha as well as the car. Awesome video, thank you so much for sharing!

😂 Thought he was gonna pass out. Least he got settled in a bit later. Excellent lap . Love these cars in forza. Excellent fun. ✌

I love this. What a great car owner. Was his wife/partner just chilling back there?! What a boss!

Its sad that Audi has such a poor oil cooling system compared to bmw. My Friends old RS5 also had those gearbox issue… typical Audi thing i guess, and i used to be an Audi guy from childhood but when you grow up u start to look at things diffrent.

It was really interesting to see how high the tyre pressures got

I love the saying about oversteer being when the passenger is scared and understeer the driver scared. Will definitely repeat that!

One of your best videos, awesome!

Misha I'm impressed with your german! Very cool car and video. Thanks for sharing all this great content dude!

Man sat in rs7 with probably one of the best drivers and he is worried 😂 I be letting u do your thing 😂

Only mentioning after the start, sometimes it goes into R, wasnt a good idea on his part. The fear was real though, you shortened that man's life with a couple of years. I'd have the same fear though, cannot blame him. Great video, thanks for sharing!

nicely done handling the gearbox issue. what do people mostly use for cleaning the windscreen after a lap?

I'm happy that my rs6 doesn't have such a gearbox issues, been great 40k km so far

This is real emotions!

Mishas German was at least so good, that he could calm the poor old man down over the whole lap. Was fun to watch :-)

6:09 That Suzuki Jimny / Samurai looks a bit slammed for what it was built for 😂. I own one myself and this is giving me some ideas 😁

finally released the beast and moved what it was built for. 👍🏻

Misha thank you for translating! I appreciate it a lot lol

Great driving Misha, as usual. Incorrect translation though: 5:10 "Der hat auch Probleme gehabt, dass er teilweise nicht weiss in welchem Gang er ist. und dass er im drive stecken bleibt wenn du auf P oder auf R gehst und aber anzeigt, dass er in dem Gang ist in dem du sein willst" Talking about the gearbox: "It has also had problems with not knowing which gear it is in and getting stuck in drive when you go to P or R but indicating that it is in the gear you want to be in." (meaning that it stays in Drive but tells you it is in P or R. Probably not while driving at high speed).

awesome with the subtitles. Thanks

4:19 such a funny reaction , made me giggle

6:45 mad respect for lil bro, held him off for a bit there

He says “poor Porsche” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...when his car has crappy gearbox! Son, the Porsche let you pass

remarkable, driving skill what do you think Compare with m5 or 63amg which one is better

I had a 2018 Audi S3 (Stock Power) and the gearbox would do a similar thing. It would be up to temperature etc. but sometimes it would either not change up when I was pushing on or completely slip into Neutral before sorting itself out. I had it from new, well looked after and had no more than 25km on the clock - strange! I know its a very different car, power and different gearbox but I had similar experiences. Great video as always Misha!!

Awesome drive, love the passengers and the little banter, seemed to have better grip then the old rs6. why is that so?

Throwing a 2 and half ton car Around is quite difficult lol. Great driving Misha, Jen's seemed A little distracted by the speed. He had no idea, his car was capable of that. Most people don't. Nice1 👍

Probably oil level isnt correct inside transmission. Thats why it takes air (going N) when cornering hard. ZF8HP70 normally doesnt have problems going in to N, only when oil is too low..

Good job, I never imagined the RS7 Doing that well!

Cool to see a kind of a german video! Scary that the car had such problems

Thats odd. VAG gearboxes will shift up when they hit the rev limiter. This one seems to not do that. Most car people would love that feature.

Great lap and video, Misha! But why the car's oil temp is going crazy, like isn't 129 degrees a bit too hot for this driving??

I had similar problems with my rs5 sport back. Sometimes when I was driving around 130kph it kicked down to third and was hitting the revlimiter

Coolant temp goes to 128....damn its high for road car..... with no intervension on cooling system.... and gearbox is cooled with same cooling sistem..... Amazing

Reminds me of my debut lap in my car around killarney, when i told the instructor to send it. I did not expect brown

I didn't expect that misha speaks and understands German! Lol. Hilarious video and fun lap ngl. I should watch more of these 😂💙

Ein Video auf Deutsch, sehr geil. Mega sympathisch der Herr!

The gearbox seems to not notice when changing down manually so it tries to switch to a gear that it already thinks it is in Look at the second carousel, Misha shifts into second, the car thinks it's in third and after not knowing what to do the car switches to 4th gear but shows it in the display way later

spoke with an Audi employee in 2019. said the A4 quatro suspension saved his life when driving 140kmh at night and an unknown water patch suddenly appeared. any other car would have slipped and went flying into the abyss. .

Schön zu sehen wie sauber aber schnell Misha mit dem 2.3 Tonnen Gefährt fährt. Super Linie!

Wauw. What a dynamic car. this rs7 is really good. hardly heard any squealing tires. the stronic needs an update i think

Any specific car you're looking forward to in 2023 Misha? Great video as always!

At the beginning I would like to say that it was a great circle. But I have questions for Audi. How good should the oil be so that after a couple of minutes of the race the temperature was 120 and above?!

Imagine inviting a racer to race your race car on a race track and then freaking out when he races it.

My head trusts Misha, whether my stomach would at the speeds an RS7 can do is another question. Respect to Jens.

I was getting more and more nervous with the gearbox comments. Also the understeer-oversteer comment was too funny!

I like how he said watchout for the abs after the jump in the mini jump

Ending of the video was tyre temperature about 86c front 63c back . What should the temperature be ? Does the tyres are common or any special tyre is needed for track?

Really enjoyed this one.

What a car the presence is incredible and the noise is intoxicating. WANT lol

Eine amüsante Überaschung, gen Ende zu erfahren, das seine Frau auch mit an Bord war und alles kommentarlos und ohne Schreie über sich ergehen lassen hat, während der Besitzer mit Pressatmung den Fliehkräften trotzen musste.

Amazing seeing how high the tyre temps went towards the end of the lap 😮

Every generation of RS6 has that broken gearbox option as standard .

When passenger shouted “yellow” near end of the lap he really meant it 😂😂👍

Got to love that Audi reliable engineering

I would love to hear update on what was actually wrong with the transmission.

it is interesting how much tires and oil are heated up

Not a comment about the car 🧐 I admit I was biased too for the weight before testing the last generation of RS6 in a mountain pass. Leaving alone the incredible amount of power and traction, I couldn’t believe how pleasant was that thing to drive around the corners

Super vom Besitzer dass er seinen Audi mal richtig auf der Nordschleife ausfahren lässt Leider machen das wenige Audi besitzer 😂

Would love to take my diesel E Klasse with Misha one day. Great run with laughter.

He always had a heart atack, hes obviuosly impressed by your driving skill

I suggest to have Jens in every video from now on !! He is fantastic ( dont be jelus MIsha !)

I thought the ring was closed for the season? Cuz I was there on Nov. 13th on the last day.

Wow what a machine that is when it gets going!

Nice video. Got to watch a great lap and learn a bit of German at the same time :)

I just realized that you hit 15,000 kilometers on this RS7 while absolutely sending it! Great video Misha!
