In a recent YouTube video, Misha Charoudin drives a very fast BMW M4 around this well-known F1 track, giving his girlfriend an experience she won't soon forget.
The vehicle is a 2018 BMW M4 CS, one of only 3,000 units made in the entire world. A 3.0-liter, twin-turbo inline-six engine with 453 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque powers the CS. Although the extent of the modifications is unknown, the car in the video appears to have undergone some changes.
Misha Charoudin, who is well-known for his recordings of the German Nordschleife, drives his girlfriend around the storied Belgian circuit in an M4.
Misha speeds up as she leaves the pits, reaching 60 mph by the pit exit line and 140 mph before braking for Eau Rouge and Raidillon. Although the blind left-right-left layout is one of the most recognizable in motor racing, it is also the part of the track where most accidents occur. Misha's girlfriend appears to be enjoying the ride at times while also appearing terrified at others.
The blind crest reveals the Kemmel Straight after slowing to 110 mph on entry and losing another 20 mph before he can accelerate once more. By the end of the straight, the M4 has reached 160 mph and is braking hard for Les Combes.

Misha stomps on the brakes to take the long right-hander at about 60 mph as he descends the hill into the following corner. Before slowing down for turn 11, the 3.0-liter M4 accelerates quickly to 80 mph before descending the hill.
Misha locks the front-left wheel as he brakes into Stavelot, forcing him to make a small adjustment and allowing the back to kick out a little to make the corner. When his girlfriend tells him to "go easy," Misha amusingly replies, "I am."
turns 17 and 18, taking the first at 130 mph and the second at 110 mph, bringing the home into view. Misha slows down to 40 mph for the chicane after passing a BMW E36 3-Series that is barely moving before making a final push to the finish line.
Many videos of passengers screaming around a circuit can be found online, but Misha's girlfriend is relatively silent the entire lap. But the expression of utter terror on her face at certain points says it all.
Throughout the racing season, Spa, as it is commonly known, hosts several illustrious events. These include the World RX of Benelux, Spa 24 Hours, Spa 6 Hours, and the Belgian Grand Prix of Formula One, among many others.
The circuit has undergone numerous layout changes since it first opened in 1921, primarily for safety reasons. 9.3 miles of public roads were used for the majority of the course's original layout.
