Robert Mitchell in a GTI around the Nürburgring

Hey Guys,

I saw recently a video posted here of an onboard lap in a Polo GTI around the Nürburgring. The video reminded me of this one by Robert Mitchell, who in this video was keeping pace with some GT3RS's on their out lap in a Polo GTI whilst on a recon lap himself. Thought it was interesting to see what a GTI can do in the hands of someone who can extract every last bit from the car:

Robert Mitchell for those who don't know is known as the king of the ring, he has done thousands of laps of the Nürburgring and actually owns the Apex Ring Taxi business which he drives / owns cars like McLaren 675LT, Ferrari 488 Pista, Porsche GT2RS MR and other crazy track focused cars.

He also has a Polo GTI which we see in this video and he says it's a really capable car and a lot of fun which coming from a guy who can rip a 7 minute lap in a Ferrari when ever he fancies is saying something! Hopefully you guys enjoy watching the lap as much as I did

Yes indeed, as well as Mischa with the odd visit by Shmee. Great bunch of people and how lucky they are.

Green with envy!

But more than happy to settle for a scenic English road on a sunny summer's day

I have an in-car video souvenir of my lap in a Jaguar Ring Taxi last summer.

My treat to myself.

Was absolutely stunning.
