The Thrill of Track Driving with Misha: A Driver's Perspective
As I settled into the driver's seat of the Drivetribe M5 Touring, my nerves were on edge. The track ahead was daunting, with numerous cambers and undulations that required precise positioning and control to navigate safely. Our instructor, Misha, greeted us warmly and began his calm, clear instructions, coupled with simple hand gestures, to settle our nerves and ensure we got the most out of this first lap.
"Position your car properly on track," Misha advised, "and know when to break, but especially know when not to break. Positioning is crucial here." I nodded, taking his words to heart as we began our journey around the notorious Nurburgring Nordschleife. The track was alive with the sounds of revving engines and screeching tires, a cacophony that only added to my growing anxiety.
As we approached the first corner, Misha cautioned me on the need for smooth inputs and precise braking. "When you feel like breaking," he said, "it's actually better to break slightly before the jump." I took his advice to heart, easing off the accelerator as the car began its ascent. The speed was more than sufficient to clear the jump without needing to brake further, a welcome respite from my earlier doubts.
Throughout the lap, Misha continued to offer guidance and reassurance, urging me to stay calm and focused on the task at hand. "You're safe with traffic," he said, as we navigated through a crowded section of track. "Don't be intimidated by others; let them pass and then move in." His words were music to my ears, providing much-needed confidence as I struggled to keep pace with the demands of the track.
As we approached the yellow flags, Misha cautioned me on the need for caution, reminding me that even at high speeds, safety must always be paramount. "Slow down here," he said, his voice firm but calm. The sound of screeching tires and revving engines filled the air as I hesitated, my heart pounding in my chest.
The lap was a blur of color and sound, with Misha's gentle guidance providing a steady hand on an otherwise chaotic ride. Despite the initial jitters, I found myself growing more confident as we progressed through the track, each corner yielding to our precise inputs and calculated braking. The noise of the engine, the screech of tires, and the whoosh of air past the car all blended together in a symphony of sound that was both exhilarating and terrifying.
As we completed the final lap, Misha offered his assessment of my driving, praising my smooth inputs and cautious approach to braking. "You're doing great," he said, as I pulled back into our starting position. The tension had begun to dissipate, replaced by a sense of accomplishment and pride in having navigated one of the most demanding tracks on earth.
