Misha Charoudin has made a name for himself as the King of the Nurburgring-Nordschleife.

Through his entertaining YouTube videos, where Charoudin drives a range of cars supplied by fans and manufacturers, the affable Russian has built up a legion of followers enthralled by his skill behind the wheel.

He has also been a prolific racer in the last few years, currently participating in the Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie in the SP8T class alongside Jimmy Broadbent, Steve Alvarez Brown (YouTube's SuperGT) and Manuel Metzger.

In this edition of the Traxion podcast, we discover that Charoudin has a lot more going on than just his Nordschleife escapades. He talks about his various business ventures, his experiences in sim racing and his time working with Kunos Simulazioni, developers of the hotly-anticipated Assetto Corsa EVO.
