*PORSCHE EATER* The FASTEST VW GOLF 2 on The Nürburgring!!

2021 updates and lap: kzitem.info/news/bejne/o55qvnqAmnSqnYo

Dude gives a tour of his home-built turbo-ed Golf, explained how he strengthened its faults through trial and error, then rips through Germany's most famous public racecourse passing fabled Porsches at will. If you love cars and driving, this is a great example of what a builder and his machine can accomplish with experience. Well done, sir!

To build such a monster is an impressive thing. To then drive it at the limit so smoothly is next level stuff and the guy is so humble you can't help but root for him and his little giant killer. What a machine!

It's definitely the driver that makes that car impressive.His smooth transition through the apexs is where he gets his speed.Smooth is fast.

100% mad lad. Pushing that car right to the limit when the back tires start to come around. He really knows what that car is capable of.

That is the best footage of the ring I have ever seen. The camera panning around the corners really made the experience that much better for me. 10/10 from me.

I absolutely love this, huge respect to the owner, incredible car, and respect to Misha as always, for going out for passenger rides in cars like this 👍👍

A huge thank you to Misha for this video. 👍🏼 Before he started recording he asked me to talk a little about the Golf. As usual I talked, a lot 😳. I expected him to cut 90% of it out as it was just me waffling. He left most of it in! The lap itself was very enjoyable and the Porsche driver had a good chat with me that evening. When I asked why he moved across before the Karussel, he replied "I was surprised to see you keeping up with me and rather than watch in the mirror I wanted to follow so I could see your car moving around" 😃 The Golf has been developed over the last 13 years from a bare shell with me learning along the way and modifying as budget allowed. Just to add to those who are saying the 911 was faster. I know, the Porsche could go quicker. We all know that ! It also costs way more than 10x the price the Golf has cost me and wasn't built by one guy in his garage so lets keep some perspective here 😉 As for Boba`s incredible MK2 Drag car, that`s built with one aim in mind and that`s to go as fast as possible in a straight line for a short period of time. Mine is built to go round a circuit for lap after lap and those goals are completely different. Put them on the drag strip and Boba would absolutely annihilate me. Put us on the Nurburgring and I'd be quicker. It's not rocket science ;) Oh and finally. The whine is the power steering pump that was failing and was replaced after this trackday and I usually leave the engine idling to cool after a lap but was distracted by Misha and turned it off too soon. Loads more details of the build and trip reports on my website www.pinderwagen.com

That turbo mount is amazing! He made a 3 point mount from any available bolt location! I love it! Great engineering work sir!

That was seriously impressive. This has to be the coolest VW Golf in the world. I wonder how much all the modifications have cost? Seeing him pass all those Porsche's made me smile. Thank you.

Can really see the strength in the cars when fly round, shell looks very rigid!! Amazing job building the car to this standard, basically its a go-kart with power, & advanced breaking capabilities! 🤔🏁

What an amazing accomplishment. To produce something that takes on supercars using home grown knowledge deserves huge credit as does his driving ability. Very humble guy too 👍

Huge respects to Nigel for his awesome build and great driving 🫡

3 German TÜV-Prüfer died of an heartattack when he said "It's road legal in the UK".

That was great, always good to see a man use his skills determination and passion to turn the ordinary into something very special, loved seeing the car and having everything explained and the lap was just good fun. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, cheers 4 that ;).

The owner its a mad man, not only he built an amazing machine by trial and error but he also drives it to the limits like a pro, this guy deserves all my respect 🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👑

Wow, what a fun ride! Great build of this fabulous machine, the fact that this driver did it all himself is admirable and well worth the effort after what he and the car achieved here. Thanks so much for this and keep safe out there, love this!

REAL quality video. Great commentary from both of you. And way to NOT take over the converstion! Great camera work. Pat yourself on the back! I can tell you respect your subjects. I will be following you now!

I like this guy, mods the car for 100% performance, no fake flashy bullshit, and if it’s good enough he lives it stock 👍🏻

What a gentleman! Thanking whoever he can when being let past, enjoying the lap, having fun. 10/10 wholesome video. Thanks guys

OMG not only can this guy build an amazing car but he can really drive what more can you ask for well done fella much love and respect from another guy from the UK

This is the kind of passion for speed I love to see! What an awesome build! And he has skills to match too :)

Incredibly immersive. I got an adrenaline rush from just watching this. Great driving!

Great driving! Good lines and nice show of politeness to the other drivers as you passed. But, I can't help but see Sabine's smile and her hitting the steering wheel of the Transit as she pushed around the track.

Damn, what an incredible run! Such a great driver, and an incredible little car.

Is it just me or are those unique builds excite anyone else also more than a factory new mclaren or any todays super / hypercar Foodshot 0/10

Amazing camera rig in the car or post stabilization if applicable. Always wish racing games would do this style of in-car cam more where the chassis "moves" and the track stays put. Very few games have done it and when it's done right, it is absolutely wonderful.

That's a great car. I really appreciate all the effort that goes into builds like this. 👍

I have to admit I skipped the intro the first time. Then I read a few comments, watched the whole thing from the beginning and appreciated it so much more. Because now I seemed to understand so much better what kind of car or project this is. The amount of time and love that went into it are amazing, and also the owner is very likable. Kudos and thanks for sharing!

Excellent camera work on the lap, super steady and showing all the track and line, i'm doing a binge watch of different drivers to learn lines and the course to run it better in assetto corsa and this video has been super helpful, thanks a lot! Also, excellent driver! you can tell he's got experience at the ring.

really nice job with the camera angles during the lap. loved how you tried to simulate a drivers' vision as they look ahead through the corners.

Was going to skip the walkthru and watch the lap. Got hooked - the talk is better than the lap. And the lap is outstanding! Love this guy - proper builder, proper engineering - then drives the perfect lap.

That is some extremely impressive home-engineering right there!

Good camera angles Misha.....i like how you angled focus in the turns as what a bike rider would see on track.For the car nothings better than making your own machine as you really know her inside and out.Great flowing speed..slick and small,the only way ta haul.

What an awesome video, thank you bro. Sick car, insane driver, beautiful lap. Also really appreciated the driver's explanations of the specs & changes, as well as the on-screen data during the lap. Easy sub from me :)

Impressive, love these home built cars, plus great driver. Love to have a lap with him in his car, respect.

Very entertaining ! - Great build and great video - Well done guys 👍👍👍

Nige: explains aerodynamics Ferrari: Write that down, write that down!!

I just love how this guy really put some serious thought into this vehicle, wicked little machine

Brilliant bit of development of a humble car by a proper petrolhead-tremendous work Nigel, I love it. I have never driven the Nurburgring-but I have ridden round it on a Ducati and it ain’t an easy circuit to learn-but you obviously really know it-great car, great driver.

Thank you for this excellent display of engineering, passion and skill. The lap was fire.

meu sonho é que meu VW Gol ande assim em Interlagos 😍, parabéns pelo projeto 😎

That ride was awesome,I was grinding my teeth watching this. That guy knew everything on that car because he did it all. Nice ride.👍🏁

Loved every second of this vid. No stupid music, only details to the car combined with pure racing. Awesome.

What driver up most respect for the machine he controls, as well the quality and understanding of what is going on, what are those sounds. Wish I was there for the experience. Thanks for sharing the journey. Keep doing what you do best 🙂

My brother had a LS Golf back in the 80's. Was not as quick as this one. Well done on the build. We busy with three Nissan 200SX's at the moment. Great fun (with lots of swearing mixed in). All the best. Regards from South Africa.

The car went so smoothly around the corners that it took me a while to notice that the speedo was actually in MPH instead of km/h.

This is one of the best applications for a 360 camera that I have seen, thanks to good post-processing, stabilizing the angle based on what was in the "outside" plane. Put on my headphones and watched it on the big screen, and hopped in with you guys! You really feel like you are sitting there. Thanks!

Some really neat aero designs all around. Probably makes such a huge difference in the boxy mk2. Nicely done!

It's not just the car, it's also the driver. Awesome driving!!!

Great driving. The Golf is fast but Nige's driving skills are amazing.

Props to the driver and the car, but also props to Misha for that on board camera work. Very smooth.

Nice build. Well done on the handling and speed of the machine.

Awesome lap! I'd love to be in that passenger seat 🙂

Extraordinary how smooth this car is. Proper engineering mate!

"when you maxed out your first car in a racing game"

That was a fantastic lap to watch. I'm not in the habit of watching nurburgring laps but that was great fun!

IF I remember correctly, it was Nige who gave me a ride-along on my first trip to the ring for a sighting lap. Then he jumped in my (non turbo) Impreza and gave pointers. Now its one of my favourite memories of the place some 13?? Years and 6 trips later…

what a build what a car BUT most of all WHAT A DRIVER this was amazing to watch well done Nigel

Much respect to Darren! Hand-crafted parts of his own doing and then deleting supercars on the ring. Go #pinderwagen !! You are all everyday drivers racing ambassador

Very nice. Awesome. To think this rollercoaster was once a Formula 1 circuit, it's insane.

Pinderwagen's car is incredible. I am loving these laps with people who have put their heart and soul into unique builds. So much impressive character (in the cars and the people who build them).

That was a very very well done lap. Impressive driving

So Nige is a nutter What a machine he has built, love the aero mods 👌

Built in a shed by a bloke called Nige.....love how enthusiastic & knowledgeable he is. He would be a good person to have a chat with over a beer

He has stiffened that golf chassis great you could hear a bit of flex but nothing to what a mk 2 normally sounds like being pushed great build great car great driving 💯👍

An incredible high speed with a wonderful engine sound. I felt inside the car too. I loved it! Thanks for sharing. 😎👍

This is rapidly becoming one of my most favourite KZitem sites. I love watching these Frankenstein builds outperforming supercars.

That high speed section from 15:15 to 16:08 is my absolute favorite part of the Nurburgring.

Really nice build and nice driving....curious as to what kind of lap times you typically turn?

Straight making them tires sing! He caught every car on the track. Excellent lap and awesome car.

That's nice car and some pretty awesome driving. I don't think many people in the world could lap faster in that car.

BTG 7:34 Nice run 😎 I think, even in a 911 that would be an impressive time for an amateur. Even more in a Golf II 😉

The guy knows what he’s doing. Fun lap and interesting chat prior to the lap

It seems like he was just playing with that Porsche especially when his tires got warmed up because he’d let the Porsche get a distance and then just rail him back in 😂👏🔥

Killer! Wonder what it would cost to replicate this ride. Congrats!

Muito bom. Obrigado pela carona. Cuide-se!

What a lovely car. And very well driven also. A credit to the owner builder.

My God that looks like fun. I had a blast watching it and imagining I was driving!

Can tell this guy put his heart into it, and it shows. Good luck on future modifications! Real respect you kept the 4 cylinder and not swapped it with a V6.

Not only an awesome car, but an excellent driver!

I love the golf but I can't get over how graceful the porsche looked hitting those corners. Gotta love em.

That is one of if not thee best in boards I've ever seen! And the best bit is, it's a MK2 Golf, one of the best golf shale EVER! What a genius you are sir for creating this work of art! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

I love that this isn't built to go fast in a straight line but to be quick on the track

I also have a mk4 golf been building it for 2 years now and hope to take it on Nurburgring someday not as good as yours yet but hoping to get there one day 😍love your build and passion and how you dedicated yourself into learning aerodynamics to improve your car,

The driver...he's the Porsche eater - his persistence and push was amazing. Stayed on it.

Misha please do more of these videos, this videos was fantastic, I'm not much of a VW fan but this guy built it all himself in his shed/garage at home.

Watching that video you can tell that the Driver and the Car are made for one another. It's really quite amazing to watch.

unique build, solid lap.What a legend.

Most rowdy lap i've seen yet, what a wonderful build, terrifying to watch

Your an example to be proud of. Well done sir

This is tits. I love how enthusiastic he is with it as well. When he said the splitter used to hit the floor at 150, my first thought was, wait a golf 2 doing 150 mph? At that moment I knew this was gonna be seriously cool.

definitely takes a skilled driver mated with a solid build to pull this off.. a vw golf was never engineering to do anything like this. impressive

That was quite thoughtful of the Porsche driver to let Darren take the lead for the second half.

Incredible lap, incredible car and incredible man.

Surprised he didn't do a cooldown lap after that great lap 😮

this guy is living forza. and that lap was mesmerizing

You know you've got a dedicated/serious rig when the staff at the Ring recognize your car!

Look like the only thing stopping him from passing sooner was the level in confidence in those brakes. This build is a beast. VW will always be the KING

Great car, and VERY good driver! What a great lap! WoW
