Slightly off topic, but if anyone is curious about one of Mischa's fastest laps as passenger, here it is:

What an amazing video! Had he been in faster cars, had a bit more luck, and not had the rally accident I think Kubica could have been F1 world champion.
Always amazing to watch professional race drivers in non-race situations, however Kubica was driving a fast car. Sabine Schmitz did a 10 min 8 sec lap in a stock Ford Transit van with traffic on the track. Now that is impressive. |

The videos in this thread are downright badass. Definitely puts a smile on my face to know this is what our M3/M4's are capable of.

Misha is one of Apex's instructor, so he is considered an empolyee.

Take Seb this year for instance, with your logic he is washed out. A four time world champion. The car simply isn't being constructed for him, his style and his ability. |

Pre accident he was considered one of the top drivers, hence Hamiltons comments about Kubica. I hold more value to Hamiltons assessment quite honestly. Btw never been neither a Kubica or Massa fan. I used to be a Schumacher fan until he crashed into Damon Hill in Australia in 1994. Oh and I assume you also think both Alonso and Vettel are sub par (after all they had terrible last seasons and Vettel was fired from Ferrari). |

Personally, I would wear a helmet, especially if there is a cage. Looks like he's in a half cage though, plus he is harnessed. No airbag on the Recaro's but he still has the curtain airbags I assume. Yeah, at that point just put a bucket on regardless. With the stock seats and harness though, probably better without a helmet so the airbags can deploy properly.

Vettel and Alonso are both amazing drivers and glad to see them both in action next year. Vettel will always be Red Bull's darling and too bad Ferrari didn't pan out for him, Ferrari is in turmoil and they will figure it out in due time. I hope Kubica gets another chance in F1 once Kimi bails out of Alfa, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I have mine and you have yours.. Peace out!! |

Long story short: Do you want to risk the extra strain on your neck from the added weight of the helmet in a crash when you cant use a HANS device (illegal during TF sessions on the ring) or do you want to protect the head? Especially when using a 4/6-point harness. In a fully caged car helmet is usually the better choice regardless, in a half caged car not necessarily. |

If you're ever at the Nurburgring, be sure to rent a car from APEX and drive a few laps! They make the process extremely enjoyable and painless. I did 2 laps in their M2 last year and wish I had time for a dozen more laps!

Of course you don't need a fast car to drive the 'Ring. My son took his VW back in August.
It has now been replaced by an M135i with another trip planned for next year.👍
