Filming with Stay Side Supercars (who often compiles Nordschleife footage, including Misha’s), he focuses on small but important tweaks that matter for public lappers, taxi passengers, and professional racers.\n\nThe lap starts just before the public opening weekend in early March 2026, with Misha stressing that, unlike some previous years, there are few major tarmac overhauls. Most updates involve curbs, runoff, safety pockets, and facilities rather than big layout changes.\n\n---\n\n## EV Infrastructure and Taxi License Changes at the TF Car Park\n\nOne of the first visible updates appears before you even reach the track: the car park at the Touristenfahrten (TF) area.\n\n**New Hyundai fast chargers**\n\n- Several new Hyundai-branded EV chargers have been installed in the main car park.\n- Misha expects at least two of them to be permanently reserved for Hyundai’s own Nürburgring taxi program (Hyundai \u002F Genesis N Taxi), but the rest are available for public use.\n- He notes this is the sort of detail sim developers (he mentions Assetto Corsa’s Kunos team) might want to incorporate for realism.\n\n**Taxi licensing shake-up**\n\nMisha points out that 2026 is the last year for the current generation of official Nürburgring taxi license holders:\n\n- Existing licensees include:\n  - GetSpeed\n  - RingTaxi\n  - N Taxi \u002F Hyundai & Genesis\n- After 2026, there will be an open bidding process for a three‑year period, allowing other companies to compete for official taxi slots.\n\nThis doesn’t affect the track layout but is a notable operational change for those used to specific taxi providers.\n\n---\n\n## T13: Rebuilt Industry Pool Hub and On‑Site Fuel\n\nT13, near the end of the lap, has seen one of the more substantial infrastructure upgrades.\n\n**Rebuilt paddock for industry pool**\n\n- The T13 area has been **completely remodeled and resurfaced**, with a focus on manufacturers’ test operations.\n- Historically, T13 takes its name from the grandstand “Tribüne 13.” That grandstand section has now been fully renovated.\n- Behind the visible paddock strip, there are **new office facilities** used by OEMs during industry pool and prototype testing.\n- Solar panels and chargers, installed in earlier seasons, now form part of a more complete and modernized complex.\n\n**On‑site refueling – convenient but pricey**\n\n- T13 now offers a **pit‑style fuel station**.\n- Misha notes that fuel here is **significantly more expensive** than at off‑track stations such as ED, citing prices over €2 per liter.\n- His assessment: time is money. Paying more at T13 may be worth it if it saves you from traffic jams on the way to external fuel stations.\n\n**Access and barriers**\n\n- New barrier arrangements make access easier for industry pool participants but don’t fundamentally change things for regular public sessions.\n- Some lines have been repainted around the area, but Misha describes it as “same old” for most TF drivers.\n\n---\n\n## Curbs, Runoff, and Subtle Safety Tweaks Around the Lap\n\nAcross the Nordschleife, Misha notes many **small-scale curb and runoff modifications** rather than large resurfacing projects. His main message: the track will feel familiar, but advanced drivers and racers should be aware of localized changes.\n\n### Hocheichen \u002F Hatzenbach area\n\n- Certain curbs were apparently widened during winter and then partly reverted after review by German motorsport authorities (Misha refers to “MSB” as the local FIA-style body).\n- The end result:\n  - The curbs in some spots are now **flatter and more usable**, reducing the risk of cars “ditching” or getting badly unsettled.\n  - The track edge sometimes has new soil and different tarmac patches, which can mean **different grip levels left vs. right**, especially in the wet.\n- He calls out the classic Hatzenbach curb that has caught out many drivers, referencing past crashes (including a notable Mercedes SLS GT3 incident) and explains:\n  - The danger arises when you drop off the curb, hit a bump, and get light just as the car needs to turn left.\n  - His advice: stay to the right longer or lift\u002Fbrush the brakes before the bump to shift weight forward and avoid understeer into the barrier.\n\n### Hocheichen exit curb narrowing\n\n- At Hocheichen, one exit curb that previously offered generous extra concrete has been **narrowed**:\n  - Misha estimates “two sections” of stone-like curb were removed.\n  - What remains is the **slippery painted curb** only, closer to the barrier.\n- For most TF drivers, this won’t change much—he rarely uses it except on “full send” qualifying-style laps.\n- For high-level racers (he mentions SP9 class lap\u002Fqualifying records), it’s worth noting: there’s now **less forgiving runoff** there.\n\n### Spectator note: Quiddelbach parking\n\n- Misha recommends the Hocheichen\u002FQuiddelbach area as an excellent spectator and photographer spot:\n  - There’s a dedicated **camera hole in the fence**.\n  - From there, race starts and close curb-hunting by multiple cars are very dramatic.\n  - He suggests searching for “Quiddelbach parking” on Google Maps, then walking to the viewpoint.\n\n### Schwedenkreuz and safety pockets\n\n- Misha and Stay Side Supercars highlight that a **safety pocket** behind the barrier at Schwedenkreuz (near the “FA” sign) has been closed.\n- Previously, it allowed easier egress after accidents; now the gap is gone, likely to prevent severe incidents where cars were hitting or even jumping barriers.\n- He notes orange barriers indicate openings; their removal means fewer points where a car might spear through during a crash.\n\n### Marshall posts and emergency numbers\n\nMisha explains a useful safety detail for all drivers:\n\n- White signs with black numbers mark **marshal posts** (e.g., 88, 89, 103, 125, etc.).\n- If you break down or crash near one, you should:\n  - Get safely behind the barrier.\n  - Call the circuit’s emergency number (printed on information boards) and state: “I’m at Marshall Post [number].”\n- If the sign background is **black**, it means you’re currently facing **the wrong way** relative to track direction—helpful if you’ve spun and are disoriented.\n\n---\n\n## Damp Zones, New Rumble Strips, and Overtaking Considerations\n\nMisha repeatedly stresses that early in the season the track is:\n\n- Cold\n- Dirty from construction\n- Often **partially damp**, especially under trees\n\nThis is critical on public and race days. He singles out several areas.\n\n### Foxhole (Fuchsröhre) and shaded sections\n\n- Foxhole, Bergwerk, Kesselchen and sections like Breidscheid\u002FIce Curve are often **the last to dry** due to tree cover.\n- Even on sunny, warm days, these spots can remain damp or dirty; he advises against “full send” laps early in the year.\n\nAt Foxhole specifically:\n\n- The much-debated **exit curb is still there**, answering a question many drivers had been asking for the last two seasons.\n- New stone-like extensions on the **right side** in some places help slightly widen usable space, aiding overtaking when traffic gets tight.\n\n### Climb after Bergwerk and triple left-hander\n\nOn the uphill section where low-powered cars struggle and faster traffic tries to get by, Misha notes changes that matter especially for racing:\n\n- New **rumble strips** have been added where people used to cut into dirt.\n- The usable track edge is now **significantly wider**, which can:\n  - Provide more room for overtakes during races.\n  - Change how drivers place the car across the three left-handers.\n- Still, he cautions that this is a damp-prone zone under trees; in the wet, the extra width may mean more mud and mixed grip.\n\n### Wippermann, Pflanzgarten, and minor tweaks\n\n- At Wippermann and downstream towards Pflanzgarten, most curbs and exits are **broadly unchanged**, though Misha spots odd resurfacing patches that look like partial works.\n- Some exits have had their dirt edges replaced or reinforced with stone\u002Frumble strips, again aiming to make repeated cutting more predictable and safer without fully changing the line.\n- He emphasizes that most of these tweaks are **incremental**: important to racers and instructors, but not something that requires re-learning the circuit for regular TF drivers.\n\n---\n\n## Carousel and the Biggest 2026 Change: Fake Grass Removed\n\nTwo of the most iconic and important zones—the main Carousel and the post-Carousel section—receive particular attention from Misha.\n\n### Carousel entry and new rumble strip\n\nAt the famous Karussell:\n\n- There is a **new rumble strip on the right** just before entry, close to the barrier.\n- This gives skilled drivers a slightly better reference and positioning aid before dropping into the concrete bowl.\n- The concrete slabs inside the Carousel remain as before. Misha notes their historic origin as drainage plates from the 1930s, kept because they also stress-test suspension for manufacturer testing.\n\n### Post‑Carousel runoff: fake grass out, grippy surface in\n\nMisha calls this the **major change of 2026**:\n\n- Historically, the **only patch of artificial “tennis court” style fake grass** on the Nordschleife sat just after the Carousel exit.\n- If you ran wide and touched that fake grass at speed, the lack of grip almost guaranteed a trip into the wall.\n\nFor 2026:\n\n- The fake grass has been **completely removed**.\n- In its place is a much more **grippy, hard surface**. Testing it in his “dad shoes,” Misha reports it feels properly abrasive rather than slippery.\n- The barrier line here has been pulled **closer** in some sections:\n  - Misha and Stay Side Supercars speculate this is a reaction to several **serious NLS (Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie) accidents and rollovers** in that area.\n  - Bringing the barrier closer can reduce the chances of cars going far beyond the track and flipping.\n- A new **safety pocket** behind the barrier gives marshals and stranded drivers somewhere more protected to stand.\n\nMisha is “super happy” about the removal of the fake grass, saying he never understood why it was there and that the new runoff is both **safer and more drivable**.\n\nHe jokes about people asking if this invalidates lap records:\n\n- He estimates any time gain would be on the order of **0.2 seconds**, and says it’s nowhere near enough to reset historical lap times.\n\n---\n\n## Operational Odds and Ends: From Vies to BMW’s New Look\n\nBeyond the track itself, Misha notes a handful of smaller operational and cosmetic changes.\n\n### New FIA fencing and spectator safety\n\n- At Vies (often written as “Wehrseifen” and the surrounding complex), a new **FIA-spec fence** has been installed.\n- This is a common crash zone where cars can go straight on under braking.\n- The updated fencing aims to better protect spectators while leaving the driving line essentially unchanged.\n\n### Vending machines and small comforts\n\n- At the ticket office, **snack machines** introduced in the previous year are still there.\n- Misha quips that it is “better to have a snack accident than a track accident,” underlining the value of staying fed and focused rather than trying to lap while exhausted.\n\n### BMW branding and local stop recommendations\n\n- Misha briefly points out that **BMW has updated its on-site branding** to a new “United by performance” look.\n- He also plugs RaceTo (a local café\u002Fcoffee spot) and jokingly offers a limited 20% discount for viewers who show Marta this specific video on the 2026 opening weekend—clearly framed as a playful, time-bound offer.\n\n---\n\n## Final Summary\n\nIn his first-lap walkthrough of the 2026 Nürburgring Nordschleife, Misha Charoudin highlights a season of **refinement rather than reinvention**:\n\n- **Infrastructure upgrades** at T13 and the TF car park (EV chargers, offices, fuel) support industry pool operations and daily visitors alike.\n- **Taxi licensing** will change after 2026, opening the field to new operators while staples like GetSpeed, RingTaxi, and Hyundai\u002FGenesis enjoy their final year under the current scheme.\n- Around the lap, **curb adjustments, narrowed exits, new rumble strips, and closed safety pockets** subtly alter risk profiles without requiring drivers to relearn the circuit.\n- The **largest functional change** is the removal of the post‑Carousel fake grass, replaced by a grippy runoff surface and a rethought barrier line, addressing a long-discussed safety concern.\n- Persistent damp and dirt early in the season remain a key theme, with shaded sections like Foxhole and Bergwerk demanding extra caution.\n\nFor casual TF drivers, the Nordschleife in 2026 will feel familiar, but for experienced lappers, instructors, and NLS teams, Misha’s lap underlines a series of **incremental safety and usability improvements** that are worth studying before chasing lap times.","\u003Ch2>New Season, New Details: 2026 at the Nürburgring\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Automotive creator and experienced Nordschleife driver Misha Charoudin uses his first lap of 2026 to walk through the latest changes around the Nürburgring.

In their official video **\"How To Make Pasta Al Dente\"**, they turn a how‑to guide into a full song, mixing serious cooking advice with playful warnings about what *not* to do.\n\nThe lyrics walk through the steps of cooking pasta al dente while poking fun at common mistakes, especially those made outside Italy. Beneath the comedy, though, they give a straightforward, practical method you can actually follow.\n\n---\n\n## Choosing and Adding the Pasta\n\nLionfield start with the basics: getting the pasta into a properly boiling pot.\n\nKey ideas from the song:\n\n- **Shape doesn’t matter for doneness**  \n  > \"It doesn't matter which shape you got \u002F Long or short, I really don't care\"\n  \n  Any dry pasta shape can be cooked al dente as long as you watch the time and texture.\n\n- **But don’t break spaghetti**  \n  > \"But if you pick spaghetti, don't you dare to break them in \u002F We will call the police soon.\"\n\n  This is a classic Italian pet peeve: breaking long pasta like spaghetti before cooking. Lionfield exaggerate with the \"police\" joke, but it underlines an authentic cultural preference—keep long pasta long.\n\n- **Use a boiling pot of water**  \n  > \"Take your pasta and put it in a boiling pot\"\n\n  The water should already be at a full boil before you add the pasta, so it starts cooking evenly and doesn’t turn gummy.\n\n---\n\n## What *Not* to Do: Olive Oil and Wall Tests\n\nThe video calls out two common myths in a pretty direct way.\n\n- **Don’t add olive oil to the water**  \n  > \"Don't pour the olive oil in the water because it's a scam.\"\n\n  The idea that oil in the water keeps pasta from sticking is widely repeated but misleading. Lionfield label it a \"scam\" in the lyrics. The actual sticking problem is better handled by:\n  - using enough water\n  - keeping the water at a strong boil\n  - stirring the pasta in the first minutes\n\n- **Don’t throw pasta at the wall**  \n  > \"Once I heard that some people from all over the world throw their spet on the wall and if they stick they think it's ready. God forgives them but I don't.\"\n\n  The \"throwing spaghetti at the wall\" test is another myth. In the song, they treat it almost like a culinary sin. Sticking to a wall doesn’t reliably indicate al dente; it mostly means the surface is starchy.\n\nTheir alternative: read the box, then rely on tasting, not tricks.\n\n---\n\n## Timing, Tasting, and the Box Instructions\n\nA big focus of the song is that al dente is about **timing and tasting**.\n\n- **Check the clock, but don’t worship it**  \n  > \"Check your clock and ste every now and then\"  \n  > \"If you check the box you find the cooking time while it's soft and wrong.\"\n\n  The package gives an approximate cooking time. Lionfield point out it’ll get *soft* if you follow it blindly. Their message: use it as a guideline, not a guarantee.\n\n- **Taste as you go**  \n  > \"And when it's almost ready, take your food a spoon \u002F Taste a piece or two \u002F Please don't let it overcook.\"  \n  > \"The secret is to taste it over and over until it's almost ready.\"\n\n  Their main rule: keep tasting. Pull out a piece, bite it, judge the texture yourself rather than trusting a wall or just the printed time.\n\n- **Stop before it goes too far**  \n  > \"Otherwise, you're going to make it over.\"\n\n  \"Over\" here is shorthand for overcooked: soft, mushy pasta that Italians generally want to avoid.\n\n---\n\n## What “Al Dente” Means in Practice\n\nThe chorus repeats the core target:\n\n> \"Pasta must be al dente \u002F As long as you remember to take it out the water on time.\"\n\nFrom the lyrics, the practical definition is:\n\n- **Slight bite, not crunchy and not mushy**  \n  It should be cooked through but still have firmness when you bite it.\n\n- **No wall tests, no tricks**  \n  You judge al dente by **tasting**, not sticking it to a wall or watching for gimmicks.\n\nWhile the transcript doesn’t mention it explicitly, Lionfield’s broader pasta content often highlights that al dente preserves texture and avoids the soggy, overcooked results they frequently react to in their comedy shorts.\n\n---\n\n## Simple Step‑By‑Step: Lionfield’s Al Dente Method\n\nSummarizing the method described in the song:\n\n1. **Boil water in a large pot.**  \n   Wait until it’s fully boiling.\n\n2. **Add the pasta.**  \n   - Any shape is fine.  \n   - If it’s spaghetti, keep it whole—don’t break it.\n\n3. **Do *not* add olive oil to the water.**  \n   They call this a scam and skip it entirely.\n\n4. **Check the suggested time on the box.**  \n   Use it as a starting point for when to begin tasting.\n\n5. **Taste repeatedly near the end.**  \n   - Use a spoon or fork to take out a piece.  \n   - Bite and check the texture.  \n   - Repeat \"over and over until it's almost ready.\"\n\n6. **Remove from water on time.**  \n   - As soon as it reaches that firm, not‑mushy bite, drain it.  \n   - Leaving it in the water is what ruins al dente.\n\nThroughout the song, Lionfield return to the same condition: **\"take it out the water on time.\"** That, for them, is the whole secret.\n\n---\n\n## Summary: Comedy with Real Pasta Rules\n\nIn **\"How To Make Pasta Al Dente\"**, Lionfield fold real Italian cooking advice into a humorous music video. The main points tied to the lyrics are:\n\n- Use a boiling pot of water and any pasta shape you like.\n- Don’t break spaghetti if you care about Italian sensibilities.\n- Skip olive oil in the water—it won’t save your pasta.\n- Ignore wall‑throwing tests; they’re not a real measure of doneness.\n- Read the box for guidance, then rely on repeated tasting.\n- Drain the pasta as soon as it reaches a firm, al dente bite.\n\nBehind the jokes about calling the police and divine forgiveness, Lionfield present a straightforward, taste‑focused method: **watch the clock, trust your palate, and rescue the pasta from the water at just the right moment.**","\u003Ch2>Who Are Lionfield and What Is This Pasta Song?\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Lionfield, the Italian duo of Matteo Salvatori and Emiliano Santoro, are known online as comedic "pasta protectors" who defend Italian food traditions.
