Those GT3 cars are notorious for having specially build engines that can produce the necessary amount of torque to carry the massive balls of steels of their drivers
dammmm
Yes
Oh yeah. And I totally agree for the *enormous* balls of steels of their drivers part
Not all drivers have balls 😉
They produce at least 1000lbs of extra torque
5:51 this head to head race is just insane....
Best part ^^
holy shit
I tensed up.
Jorge Miller If that Mercedes had the outer lane, it would have paced that Audi so hard.
Tbh I thought the amg would have sailed straight past on the straight
These cars are a whole lot more stable in reality than in racing simulators.
@Kevin P Try driving like these guys on a game like Assetto Corsa or Project Cars 2 and you'll be all over the track.
@@edkode the r8 is garbage and all over the place in gt sport
@@thorodinson7467 If you're good enough, it can be one of the best overall GT3 cars though
edkode The physics in project cars 2 really piss me off, try driving the nissan gtr, you can barely even turn at low speeds.
Thor Odinson the R8 is the best Gr.3 car in the game lol. I guess it’s just adjusting to it
I'm sweating just watching. That flat out sprint at 5:51 was gettin to business. I love racing because of moments like that.
crazy race..
It's a 24hr endurance race it makes very little difference whether passes him or not
@@happykanye yup, thanks for pointing that out. I mean, it certainly didn't look like either of them were taking things too seriously to me.
I was just reading your comment and was thinking "Yeah, I agree, this _is_ a pretty awesome example of racing at it's best!" Then I checked the video timer... It was 5:48. And... 👀 *"LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"*
Appropriate word for this segment: Tumescent.
Both amazing drivers but man the Audi driver is incredible. He was under pressure the whole time and didn't give up.
Definitely, but I rate the merc driver more, 4 wheel drive compared to rear.
Swift 211 what ? They have the same gt3 regulations so both are rwd
@@hiddenhills8893 thank you, I didn't know this.
What the fuck was that, one said something wrong another guy corrected him on his mistake and he said thanks for the info? Shit today is 01/01/2020 and this planet still has hope. Happy new year my friends.
@@Spock0987 my reaction exactly lol. Just when I said I've had enough of seeing intolerant arrogant idiots I saw this comment
In this video you can see: - the ideal line - the braking point - the gear engaged practically the nordschleife school TOP
Only speed is hard to read, but you are right I take this as a reference :)
I'm still better than him in gt sport
Saudi2014F20 ! like yeah me too but the R8 was blocking him... you cant just do some crazy overtake (like Forzas AI always tries to) aaand it is not reality
MC Production It's a joke my dude
MC Production Next time
Audi driver: you can see the Mercedes is still behind us
I understood that reference
And the Porsche
very hard to pass on the nurburgring very hard
i think it’s lexsus lol
@@asaddich6193 : Its a line from another video
The suspension on these cars is simply incredible there where moments where i was certain that there was going to be loss of traction that would manifest itself but the audi stayed glued to the tarmac like it owed it money ... The way these cars where just moving in the frame didn't even look real, in the blink of an eye it would shift into the line cornering into the apex with incredible precision ... truly nail biting moments and absolutely stellar driving from both parties.
Holy shit incredible drive from them both.
so, by the lenght of this video and the position in which the cars start and finish in the video, is the new porsche gt2 rs as fat as these cars??
+rickyricardo2006 it seems like that
If you compare the two videos you can see the Porsche is way faster on the straights and way slower in the corners, leading to a similar lap time because the Nordschleife has plenty of both track situations. GT3 cars still have a bit faster lap time I think. They are also limited by race class regulations. On a track with more straights, the Porsche would beat them, on a track with greater focus on corners, the GT3s would win. Still, mega impressive for the road legal Porsche. I think its destined to become a proper GT3 race car, with some big ass aero on it and proper weight reduction as well as race brakes.
MrOldMiguel yeah plus considering the gt3s have less hp and huge amounts of downforce no wonder the gt2 rs has asimilar laptime.
oh yea? how come, who won??
This is the stuff I wanna see in my recommend, not something from 10 years ago
yeah, only 3 years ago right
hah, the very best event happened right 10 yrs ago! Unfortunately it wasn't filmed tho...
Hi, nfs shift 2 unleashed
So teach yt algorithm for that. When watxhing on pc, on right side you see videos, then click on dots in upper right corner and choose what you want to watch or select not to be shown. Explore littlebit you will get it
When a video was uploaded is irrelevant
This is basically the most epic onboard video in the world today... #1 out of everything else! The insanity and commitment required .. no words!
Im just appreciating how both cars took different lines in certain corners and still showed so much pace
These two are obviously highly skilled Nurb vets. That's a pretty breakneck pace and the Benz might as well have been pinned to the back of that Audi. Great show, fellas!

Loss of words. That was incredible. Nailed the entire track to a mm.
Glad you enjoyed it! Subscribe for more if you like
what did I just watch! good lord!
I hope the fist bumped after that.
Dude nailed it to the mm, you said it right. So satisfying to watch.
When you’ve played this “map” so many times throughout the years that you can anticipate all the turns...
I know right..I love it when that happens...I play GTSPORT.. Nurburgring Aka Green Hell.💚
I mean, it really doesnt take that long
Really? I’ve just gotten into sim racing and I find the Nurburgring so difficult to remember all the turns. Other tracks like spa Suzuka etc came easy to me
@@daviddickson7253 It's all about pleasure. I find other tracks boring so I can never memorize them. But the Nürburgring is the most fun track for me.
@@daviddickson7253 this is 5 months old but what i find helpful is giving every turn a name. Then it's like a sequence of names in your head. Much easier to remember that way
5:53 has to be the best and most nerve racking scene I’ve ever seen!!!
Denise Felix when they were head to head I was like AAAAHHHHHHH WHOS GONNA MAKE IT
I watch this video at least 2-3 times a week.
Glad you enjoy it!
you are a man of culture
so am i
I watch it 2-3 times a day!
You live a boring life if you live vicariously through a KZhead video, how sad you must be little boy.
This video should have many more likes. These guys can drive.
Glad you enjoyed it
The amg driver more though, could have gone through the Audi over and over again, even when deliberatively choosing the wrong line to show himself in the Audi mirrors, like in Bergwerk
Exactly lmao. He was showiong his presence, very agressive driver, he goes on the edge, crazy!
like you know this? If he could have he would. Even on the long straight they were neck and neck and he didn't. Both cars proved pretty even to me.
Pranith Mugi this is the 24 hours of Nürburgring... Being overly aggressive for one lap is a no-no: these guys have to keep the car damage free and running for so long that it's optimal to just stick behind somebody at nearly your pace than risk it all
This is the kind of video I can sit back and watch like it's a movie. I was glued to the screen. Being able to do this would be a dream.
Being able to do it without dying would be even better lol
I love watching skilled drivers Battle it out from an in car view. Makes me want to get into racing so badly.
I'll bet the two dudes high fived it in the pits afterward. Friends for life after that experience. Respect!
Neil Reid I bet the amg driver goes to punch his face .... he tryed all the Time to overtake him... he s flashing with his lights ... the amg could be much faster at the corners...Audi blocked him
@@x0entrix I see you haven't watched any real racing in your life before... I feel sorry for you, bro.
Pe Br l o l two cars of the same class don’t just pull over and let another car by just because it’s faster in the corners. that’s not racing. have you ever heard about defending your line or are you just an outsider here to type nonsense?
@@x0entrix ever heard of defensive driving and pressure?
Yeah, i love that in these gt3 races, not much toxicity and many are cool dudes.
This blew me away...best onboard video in years
This video is one of the best motorsport POV video in human history. the driving, track, sound of the engine and transmission etc everything is perfect.
THIS is REAL racing!! Sick lines and an all out sprint towards the end made this a very nail biting and tense video to watch 🤟🏻
That computer AI you just can't get past in Need For Speed.
Underground 2 duel
There is actually a video on KZhead that explains how to overtake that computer AI. I remember i read the title.
There is always that one AI in every racing game that does your head in tryna overtake him
There’s one in gta where if you end up somehow getting in front it will push you faster and try to catch up faster and faster
Super expert ai mode.
You must have a big balls to drive this fast at Nurburgring ... perfection.. Respect.
Sr le You don't want too big balls because it has negative impact on the power to weight ratio.
Or a good contract
check out the video with time record holding lap, i think it was the audi? crazy run😳
How this has escaped my feed for years is a mystery. I’ll come back to this again and again as long as KZhead exists. This has everything!
That was the one of the most amazing, insane and exciting video I've seen in a long time!
That was Breath Taking!, The sound of the AMG is just outstanding!
thank you so much! and NO MUSIC THANK YOU!!!! amazing, beautiful, inspiring....and no rain. subscribed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude for real, this in the rain would be awesome
Lol no music
That’s amazing driving by both guys! I can only imagine they happily shook each other’s hand after that race between them.
that final straightaway was epic as was the entire lap. Fantastic racing.
I want those shift lights in my car, maybe the engine and trans too. Throw in the chassis and brakes also I guess
Got 450K?
@Mario Lisa there are some for sale on racecarsdirect.com and the most expensive one is 390K $, the cheapest is 285K £ so they're actually cheaper. And there's also an R8 GT3 EVO for even less than the Merc, 255K €.
@@wxldfxr9140 Are these retired race cars that need full rebuilds?
@@deeplyclosetedindividual Well, the Mercs are retired but they don't need a rebuild. The R8 is new though.
Put on the aero just to be sure
What makes this even more awesome is the fact that the GT3 still features the 6.2 V8 AMG engine :)
That glorious 6.2
Really? Didn't know that :|
and the Audi has the 5.2 V10, such great cars and great drivers.
Ooooohh that explains why the AMG GT3 sounds so awesome!
Daniel Sadjadian I wish if they could make that an option for the other models 😭
Probably my Favourite race footage on the ring. Both amazing cars and both highly skilled drivers going at it. Watched this video many times over the years.
I regularly come back to this video and just watch it again, it always makes me happy
0:22 porsche- yo chill! chill! CHILL DUDE! IM ON THE GRASS
Wich Porsche?
@@Mark-jy4qt There was white porsche
@@straba7380 30 seconds in?.. The Porsche Bike? 2 wheels on tha green?
@@Mark-jy4qt 2 Wheels on grass yes
@@Mark-jy4qt Your beard is weird
It was a fantastic drive from the Merc but my props go to the Audi for holding under pressure with the Merc on his tail. He never gave up, and fought right to the very last corner, and that's what it's all about.
I think it's way harder sticking to the rear bumper of a car in front as the merc driver did there!
@@OnePoundFisch no i think being in front is harder as u have to find the right braking points while the one following can just look at the leading car for reference.
@@fabiancabreja7605 Merc could’ve stopped later if he was in front I feel like.
i love the unedited raw footage, you can see how fast the car really is
Man, I always come back to this video every other day!
I’ve never smiled through a whole race video on KZhead until now. EPIC !
kzhead.info/sun/lNp_gJpvfHuPqac/bejne.html
And that's just one lap. Lol
daammmnnnn that chasing.... the top speed battle at the last straight....god damn fast.... make my heartbeat faster. the best video i've ever watched this week
legend says he is still chasing him this to this day
I watch it every now and then. Never fails to amaze!
Some say the AMG is still trying to overtake the R8 to this day.
They look like friends
I think AMG was driving within those last 30sec at top speed, for R8 i dont know if he drove it at max top speed.
@FUNNNDAGOe Movie Clips hell no
Lets see individual lap time of both. Its easy to see R8 was much slower in the corners
Lol😂😂😂😂
Is that we call "porn"?
sums it up!
This is the definition of dirty porn.
Shenmue-is-back Glad to see you back, Shenmue. When will you come out? :-D
i think i jizzed when they were side by side at vmax
Even better
Wow... amazing driving skill! Audi and AMG Audi is incredible..
Easily one of my favorite videos of all time. Simply incredible!
Seriously never seen a better chase video. Super exhilarating to watch!!! Love that drag race at the end as well. These guys can DRIVE
it is near immpossible to pass on this track.
just in a mistakes... sry for the english.
You're damn right. I've learned to stick behind the car infront of you until you get to use the slipstream on the touristfahrten-entry straight. Passing on the GP part of the track is quite possible tho.
I was thinking the same
Especially when you're in the slower car
that is what i thought while watching this video.
The mechanical sounds of the engine paired with the sequential gearbox noise is a literal eargasm
It’s a tradition to comeback and watch this video every now and then
6:20 I wish people in simulators had this kind of respect
well in this situation its either get the fuck out of the way or die so its basically a given
M they do if you race with leagues and higher divisions of drivers.
Because the Mercedes driver slowed down?
It's like this in racing simulator like iRacing, Assetto Corsa...
I think the GT3 driver didn't brake at all, it was just that the Audi driver a left turn was ahead, he was closer to the curve, got out faster and overtook the GT3
Holly shiit, Even in a video game i cant drive like them
Don't worry there is always someone who can lol
@@Mark-jy4qt I'm sure you do
Mark 13 good way to toot your own whistle mate congratulations
(!!!!!!! When you practiced enough !!!!!!!) it's actually easier to drive in the real world i think, because you have a more direct feel of physics and control
Davide T. no
Damn that Audi is fast in a straight!
One word: Amazing.
That's actually three words; just like there are thirteen words in this comment.
and here is the guy who likes his own comment.
I was just being a smart ass, no one online can take a joke anymore. You say one thing and get 'hate' for it. And sorry, were you searching for someone who likes their own comments? Keep searching g.
So you're someone who likes their own comments and a stupid person. Great :)
Only a stupid person would label someone off as 'stupid' based on 2 comments. With no proof at all, you're blindly accusing me and insulting me. What makes it more silly is the fact that I never even provoked you. Also, we're talking about LIKES on youtube, who gives a fuck. I'm only saying what I'm saying because of the principle of it.
Good god... what a phenomenal display of skill, from both drivers. I'm sitting here in an office chair, and I'm sweating, just from watching it.
Espectacular me emociona y recordé mucha adrenalina, mis respetos para los dos pilotos saludos desde Michoacán México
this is actually one of my favorite videos on the planet, i want this played at my wedding, childs birth, funeral, every major life this will be on in the background at full volume.
That R8 is very good on straights but the AMG seems to catch up on it at the corners. Absolute brilliant driving. Best on-board action in along time.
Plz go for this onboard action, it's really hard to beat this one ;-) INCREDIBLE KEVIN ESTRE P11 TO P1 24HR NURBURGRING 2021 - KZhead kzhead.info/sun/n5hydcyka3enaYE/bejne.html
I´m a big race sports fan but man.... one mistake at those speeds and its over
MxEnergyGreen especially on this track
Mark GT3 cars are extreme safe, nearly all crashes in this class without dead people on this track.. With an old 962 its more dangerous.
yeah the track is terrifying with no runnoff, youd want to be pretty confident with the corners and the car before attempting those speeds
AntiMensch I think he meant the race for you would be over?
dont worry,these guys was pro
Better than any opening race from a video game. When you know the driver in front of you is top class, you can frive nose to back, without using much braking as at the end.
Every time I watch this video, I get goosebumps! It's the perfect way to end nicely a You Tube stroll.
pretty nice fight on the straight line :)
Audi had top speed but the Merc had torque. The Merc got into the slip and passed but eventually the Audi came back except the hill gave the Merc the advantage until they went over..... Brilliant stuff.
It's even crazier when you realize that this video is 6:47 min long and they make whole lap, while the fastest production car lap on Nurburgring is 6.44.98 (Aventador SV).
But it's normal, slicks tyres 1280kg, top Aero, those care are another World
@@josecalvo9730 sure still its incredible he stays on his bumper all the way
yeah but they didn't start at 0 Km/H
@@bardia8225 WOW,no car starts at 0....
It started far from the start line almost out of the first corner.
Thanks for making me realize I've never really lived before.
still time. .
No Shyt Right!😄😄😄
Buy a motorcycle and do track day you'll feel alive. Or try meth.🤷♂️
Truly a battle of the ages. Top stuff from both drivers, what a pleasure to watch!
worth it 6 mins of my life
Absolutely
We'll fucking put my friend
I am absolutely amazed by the quality and performance of German super cars. Perfect example of balance between man and machine !!
Those are GT3 cars ,not road legal supercars.
Ilias G1 his point is that they are German cars
@@iamDeniseFelix There are British and Italian Race Cars that can even perform better.
@@Elias_g1 Well at the end Mercedes AMG is the King of Formula 1 atm :)
@@wumbo9082 so what ?
Probably the best onboard video ‘ve ever seen … thank you ! 😉😉
I smiled though the whole video. one of the best nurburgring videos I have ever seen.
5:55 Holy shit. It's just like two jet aircraft flying side by side... but without the vast space of the sky to pull out to.
3:30 That very, very subtle correction... Oh my god thats intense.
Well pointed out
I saw that too, in his position it would my my end
high speeds bro
one of the best videos on youtube.
MANO DO CEU, QUE PEGA, QUE VOLTA!
That AMG has a really bad-ass sound :-)
Reminds me of an American muscle car.
sounds better than american cars excluding the ford gt
The old one or the new one?
It's bad ass no doubt, but the Corvette, the Ford Mustang GT350R, the GT, the Hellcat, and so on are incredible vehicles..... the AMG GT3 is just so special though.
Dogbox makes it sound better
At 5:50, holy moly that was close!
I said out loud "oh shit!" at that part and I am in a coffee shop right now
The bmw was like standing lol
Sivels he almost lost his shit xD
Lol it's like a leapard trying to slipstream a turtle.
NERVES of STEEL + BALLZ of IRON - wow just wow - Thanks for sharing this :D
This was absolutely amazing 🤯
This is one of the best displays of GT3 skill/knowledge of the Nurburgring out there!
Absolutely insane. Phenomenal skill
You can FEEL the racing atmosphere from this video , i love it .
This is truly awesome! Both drivers are extremely skilled, but I love their brave!
It's pretty hard to be the second car and not tunnel vision on the car in front of you, even if there's a car in front of you, your mind needs to be on the track, not on the car ahead. Props to the AMG
Yea on some corners he peeks out just a bit the see braking points and turn in ..that helps to stey close and avoids tunnel vision like you said..
Gran turismo in the windshield :)
whatcha think where this came from =)
I read it as Gran Ti Bismu lol
I just saw that. This race really reminds me of Gran Turismo 4 on Playstation 2
It kinda feel GT Sport xD
I hope they don't train their drivers on gran turismo or its gonna be a disaster
That was dope. Both drivers on the edge. The Ring doesn´t allow any room for mistakes
And I thought I was doing something yesterday on the highway when I floored it
Agree. I feel pretty small as a driver right now...
LMAOOO
So true lol
Yeah. Breaking the law.
my face was glued to the screen and i was hoping that the Audi driver makes a little mistake, but nooo... :D thats a good race! thanks for the video
Well he did make mistakes but got away with it
@Everything you mean defending
Thats the best lap ive seen with those type of cars....absolutely flat everywhere...fantastic!
That was flat out driving at it's best, I loved it 👌
Great german cars, great german track... racing at its best!
Indeed it is.
Probably not driven by germans though lol
@@yeahman147 The one who is chasing is a German driver, next time read the description.....
It's so calming watching Nordschleife onboards
Only because we can be assured that they don't crash hahahaha
That was INTENSE. SWEATY 🥵 PALMS!! Loved it.
Wonderful driving skills... No more words! Wonderful
Holy smokes so evenly matched. No hiccups, bad lines, just balls the the wall driving by both, brilliant!
If you want to succeed in life, pursue your objectives like this man does to the R8
Never be tired to watch this epic battle again and again!!!
Watching this every other day just for the sound... amazing onboard footagefor an amazing sounding car, which is why I take the AMG also for a spin in Assetto Corsa Competizione :)
