True, but TF is tourist driving, it's officially a public road. You should be driving with a larger margin for error than on a trackday. He got flamed last year for posting a video of himself overtaking someone on the grass at Ex-Muhle.

The only TF crash last year that was published was the GT86 suspension failure… what others were there?

That was not a suspension failure, just like the G82 wanst a brake failure. He ran wide at Brunchen onto the dirt/marbles and understeered into the barrier.
I dont keep track of his crashes, but he crashed the 330i at the following race too. I was given the figure by a local.
There are so many people backing Misha up online, most have never been within 1000km of the nurburgring, their only exposure to the place is through his videos. The locals are genuinly scared that he'll crash into them some day.
To steer this thread away from Misha bashing, here's a video of a 3 lap stint I did at a trackday on Friday. The car is brand new to me, it was my first time out in it since some big changes were made to it. I wasnt pushing hard, didnt use any kerbs etc. I am still playing with tyre pressures.
