  • I never thought I'd ever have the opportunity to drive something like this...the experience still hasn't sunk in yet, but hopefully you guys enjoy the video from the event.
    I also need to say a genuine thank you to Steve from HTC. Not only did he set this all up, he also spent his own time shooting and editing this video. Thanks mate!

    Oh my Jimmy Broadbent... the boy from a shed with a lisp in his speesh* I wish I was your neighbour and friend so I could come and give you a man hug. I love your story and as a fan I could not be happier to see you got this amazing opportunity, hopefully one of many more to come! Me and my friend were saying we hope Jimmy is the next Norbert Michelisz. I second that but I think you will not be the next Norbie, I think you will be Jimmy Broadbent and you will be legendary - whatever lies ahead for you I hope it will be as amazing as your journey was to this point. All the best!
    For all the ppl who have done a lot of sim racing but haven't gone to try your local track... GO!!! What the feck are you waiting for! Just GO! It is amazing to feel the differences and similarities between sim and reality, it's an adrenaline rush like no other. My fastest experience was a Toyota GT86 which I was told by the instructors "should be flat" through a 5th gear kink on the back straight lol it was scary :D :D

      Seems quite a bit slower than I would expect to be honest given that Top Gear laps are from a standing start and this is a race-prepped car. Either Jimmer was quite far under the performance potential of the car (not out of the question, but his laps looked pretty reasonable to my eye), or these times are a bit slower than was actually the case.

    Do you know what your lap time was?

    The question is, what would the stig do with that car ...

    • @cozaki
      @cozaki 5 лет назад +13

      True, first lap he started commenting is about 1.28, next lap is like 1.22 or something like that. Those are pretty good lap times. Hmmm if i can compare with stig's time i d say something like the caterham r500 laptimes which was something like 1.17.9 (not sure i did not recheck the video, i am sure for the 1.17 but not the .9). Or maybe a bit slower than that, like an 1.19 . In any case that an estimation of mine, still Jimmy's lap times are between 1.21 and 1.25, which i consider amazing. I know for sure that there is no way i would go under 1.35 with this car, or maybe i would even crash...

    That was great to watch, it’s quite surprising how much extra mechanical grip there is the first time you go out on track with slicks, especially as you say with the braking.
    How did you find your times compared to the sim world (if Dunsfold and the 570 gt4 are available in a sim?) I appreciate you have to keep a reasonable amount in reserve due to the value of the car, can’t blend between throttle / brake due to the electronics of the car (that did seem strange) but it did look like you got some good laps in. There was a vbox HD2 camera in the cabin so presumably all data and video with overlays will be featured in a follow up video?

    Frankly I think the best bang for your buck to real world racing is Karting. Computers can never give you the same feeling of the lateral Gs, the sounds, the smell, what it feels like to race wheel to wheel and the actual risks involved and what it feels like to crash (I’ve broken ribs on 2 occasions). Road cars and even highly modified road cars don’t give you the same thrill (show me one that can turn 3 Gs), certainly computers won’t. You pretty much have to be in a formula car of some sort or a WEC or IMSA prototype/LMP1 level car to do it. And while it can be considered expensive at the higher levels it isn’t near what cars cost. I have a good friend that races (and wins) lotus cup GT4 cars. He has a couple karts and I tell him all the time that he needs to come out with us and race. He says, “it’s too brutal on my mid-40s body”. So they just collect dust while he continues to win championships against a bunch of rich guys that race GT4 cars.

      My thoughts exactly man, the first time I drove a go-kart I felt like the speed really is there, it is like an absolute different feel than any road/regular car. Other times that came, I was improving my lap times, changing courses and having much, much more fun. But one thing that I have noticed: I was so excited that I have almost forgot to breathe :D Because after you get used to the go-kart, and you really step on it, to get as close as possible to the record time, the bends of the track start to seem more intimidating, you notice speed even more: go-karts are just fantastic :)

    That's really cool you got to drive a real race car. I got to drive stock cars here in the USA for almost 15 years from the late 70's till early 90's and it was one of the highlights of my life. I raced in 5 different classes and 3 different series. Everything from figure 8 to road racing and Super stock on a 3/8 mile oval to Nascar Street stock class mostly in 65 and 71 Mustangs, 68 Cougars, or 71 Torinos. I have also raced sims, but I don't have the internet speed where I live now to be able to race on the web with other sim racers. Sure wish I did and had the money to get all the proper gear to be able to race. So for me I just have to live it through guy like you and Matt M. Congrats on your first real driving experience and you really need to get into a real race with other cars someday, It is such a rush!

    Kudos for you not cutting the video where you asked for the mic. Plenty of youtubers would have cut it out..... you're a genuine dude, keep going because we need more genuine youtubers from humble beginnings!

    Very nice Jimmy! And a superb video aswell, the way you presentated this is on a really high level. You can't only drive your heart out in videogames (and apperently in real cars), but you're so good in front of the camera aswell. You really should be doing something in F1 as a commentator/presenter: great voice, great knowledge and great personality. Would love to see a race while listening to your voice or watch a documentary you made. Anyway, keep up the good work!

      Jimmer: "Hold my whiskey..."
      Instructor on 3rd lap: "You're braking too early."

    The production quality of this video is insane and after watching this video Im thrilled to see maybe more videos of that kind. Im sooo glad that you got the opportunity to get into a real race car and drive it around on its capabilities (sort of). Now please, Basement kids and all the over bros of jimmer army, we need to spread the word for jimmer and try to get him more opportunities like that so Jimmer can have a great 2019 and future. Share the video on twitter, facebook, insta and link other racing teams to get Jimmer in a racecar again! Lets go Jimmer army!
