That moment when you get tears in your eyes watching some guy in a garden shed play a video game a little bit better than he did last time.
Congrats, Jimmy.
The Nordschleife is my bugbear and watching you fly around there the way you do is absolutely magical.
zerobandwidth yeah man, wish I could do the same.
2019 is a hell of a place.
It wasn't tears, I had something in my eye...
absolutely magic, Jimmy you're a legend mate, congratulations on your achievement
Bit of a gay comment Tbh, the lap wasn't great and also de-mystifies Bellof somewhat. Annoying bell end
20:37
DID YOU JUST WAVE AT THE REBEL TREE IN THE BEST HOTLAP? WHAT AN ABSOLUTE MADLAD.
based
What is the rebel tree?
@@Arthuro1776 the rebel tree is the tree at 8:23, its call like that because its alone, separed to all of the other tree like a rebel
@@Arthuro1776 this tree is well known for not being like others... especially during winter time... and if you treat this tree with respect... as shown in this beautiful lap... you can be fast... next time you'll play assetto corsa, just stop by this tree... and talk to it... and you will become one of us... but remember... cold is the key...
@@QUASILLEAUX I always do in gt6 when im taking the x2014 junior for a drive my best in a 6:19.3 I think
When you consider the drivers in real life have to do everything you do in a sim, such as maintaining consistency, the physical act of shifting and steering etc...and they also have to cope with extreme G-forces, on many occasions energy sapping heat, as well as the dehydration, the helmet and layers of fireproof overalls, plus the actual adrenaline rush of driving at the limit and being wheel to wheel with other cars at 200+ mph, it really is a testament to their bravery and skill.
This guy is an idiot trying to beat a real record in a videogame.
@@Big1_ no hes not
@@q_e yes he is and makes no sense. In a room with a ps4 steeringwheel with no helmet, stress, g forces, fatigue, etc makes no sense compare a real life record with a stupid 12 yo video game record... Grown up and see the differences.
@@AriesUmbra It´s a bullshit achievement in its own nonsense right.
And then theres my friend who said that racing isnt sport...
i'm a middle aged man. I watched this on my laptop. When you got the time I cheered, and my cheer was met by my kids looking at me perculuarly. All the best to you from the Netherlands
who are the kids
That’s awesome man, cheers from the US
Cheers
I can still remember when I was 9 or 10 years old, I first drove around Nordschleife in a Mazda RX-7 FD on PSP version of Gran Turismo. Before that race, I had never learnt how to brake properly, how to corner properly or anything that is related to sim racing. But that track some how awakened the racing sense in my brain. It is like a click. As 95% of the corners on Nordschleife are blind, I realized I just need to brake before every corner to not crash. I was so excited to experience that Eurika moment and proceeded drive 10 more laps around.
Now after 10 years, I think it is the time to go around again.
I’ll set u a challenge, try and beat my 6:39.7 I think that was it idr remember, anyway u can find it on my channel if u want to see the lap but it was set in a rebuke x2014 junior, good luck if u want to give it a whitl
@@the_rustydoornob1164 challenge accepted
Brogan Lund awesome, now my record is a 6:30.5
Reminds me of my story with gt2 licenses. I was just a little kid and did not know how to pass the gold time.
I came back after 14 years as an experienced driver, a lot more mature and dedicated. I got all the gold times. Not gonna lie, I cried a little.
Fun fact: Bellof was actually faster than Senna in 84 when in the F1 testing sessions.. Man's could've been a true legend but it sucks he went so soon..
He was also quickly closing on Senna and Prost during '84 Monaco GP before race was stopped.
Bellof was more consistent in his times than senna, Monaco 84, same conditions, bellof was faster, portugal 85 bellof was in 5th with a broken spoiler behind mansells lotus, he was pretty fast with na car
@@mateuszczmer6802 He was... but he was in the 1984 Tyrrell, which was later found to be in violation of several of the 1984 regulations.
What do you mean? He’s a true legend already
how many times does it need to be said that testing means nothing. still would have been great in f1.
Everyones gangsta until Jimmy stops talking.
I’ve never seen someone who can talk and drive as good as jimmy it’s actually crazy impressive
@@dertmatyui AND he gestures with his hands while doing it!
In my head, I was narrating the run as if he were doing it himself because he was so silent lol
Bellof actually had to be rapid af, if beating it on a sim is difficult
Bellof was one of the best ever
Justin Krizenesky German Engineering yk haha
one of the best racing drivers ever, his record still technically is unbeaten (we cant count new Porsche record because the car they used was not within FIA regulations unlike Bellof's car)
he really was one of the fastest drivers of all time. On par with Senna, if you ask those who know. A tragedy that he died, who knows what more he could've achieved.
@@Cynderfan35 The 919 EVO is fastest ever, its just as fast as one can go - no regulations.
"It's okay to make mistakes" oof that hit home hard
*Crashes into every wall at the nordschleife*
Yes, this is fine.
His the Bob Ross of sim racing
@@jordan95budd yeah, this attitude towards sim racing and goals is so mature.
@neverindoubt clearly missing the meaning of mature huh
@neverindoubt there is big definition of mature in 21st century. Dont judge. Learn and just try to understand
I feel like this quote applies here as well,
"The winner ain't the one with the fastest car, it's the one who refuses to lose"
Somebody should put that on the packaging of simracing gear. ;-)
Absolutely 😎
this sounds like a quote from a driver who had the fastest car ;)
@@treschlet how did he get the fastest car though? :P he worked and strived and never gave up on his dream and ended up sat in the fastest car.
@@treschlet Spoken by Ralph Earnhardt to his son Dale. Quoted during grass roots racing in the southern US. Cars didn't earn wins back then, drivers did.

Combine these:
- A Legendary Track

- A German Mad Lad with exorbitant talent
- Qualifying fuel
You get a legendary lap that remains history up to this day... That few can beat...
Welcome to the Bellof Club, the club of SimRacers of next level who were able to beat Bellof's time at the Ring in the same machine.
Not the same machine tho, 962 is more powerful and has longer wheelbase than 956.
@@StellarGale I was aware that Jimbo took the 962 instead of the 956. It was kinda easier to do the lap with a longer wheelbase, but a 6:11 is either way, very hard to reach
@@Walker_41279 well, 962 is more stable, but 956 has better turning radius
@@Walker_41279 Well, he couldn't really choose, AC only has the 962C, no 956 unfortunately...
@@DonatProdanSimRacing If there was the possibility to choose the 956, it should have been harder
The fact you've kept coming back to this over the years to chase what seemed like a mythical time is actually rather inspiring.
That sort of dedication is something that a lot of other channels are missing, and its why watching you is always entertaining.
Keep up the great work Jimmer.
Jimmy, what an amazing video. Some people may say "It's just a guy on a video game". I beg to differ. This is a vivid representation of what you can do when you set yourself a goal in life. The passion and determination to succeed is such a vital part of any undertaking, whether it be virtual or reality. Your positive influence extends so much more than you know.
Personally, your videos have been a much needed escape from the grief and depression of losing my 2 yr old son. Watching your streams, I feel transported to another realm where all my troubles of that moment wash away. Watching you urge that car around the track has almost a hypnotic edge to it. It provides a momentary escape from the darkness that is my current reality. If I had the funds available I would support you, but alas i can not. Please accept my most heart felt thanks for the work you do. My wish is that others can find solace in your videos like I have. God bless you and keep up the good work :)
Beautifully said, i hope you can get your life back together man.
I am so so sorry for your loss and I know coming from a stranger that's a bit hallow and something I'm sure your tired of hearing my friend. Just know that this is coming from an older father who can only imagine the sense of loss and grief you must be feeling which I'm sure comes far short of the actual experience. I am truly happy for you being able to find something, anything, that at least gives you a small respite no matter how long that relief lasts. So may God truly Bless you and yours. May he also never again allow something this terrible to happen to you in this life and may he please allow you to reunite with your son when your time comes which is hopefully after a long life that grants you the Love and Joy that will never replace your son but at least grant you some semblance of Happiness...
@@PastorwithoutaPulpit Thankyou sir. That touching reply means so much 😊
Yea well said. I love this stuff. Puts me in another world zooming around the track. Hope you're doing better
The reason I find this video so incredible, besides Jimmy's triumph, is that for that whole lap, you can see kinda what Stefan saw. That's probably the closest anyone's gotten to driving the car that hard in the way that he drove it, and its awesome to behold what it looks like to fling one of the worlds fastest racing cars down one of the world's most dangerous circuits and set a record with it.

Next up - Jim Clark's record at classic Monza in the Lotus 49 (road layout, 1:28.50)
Monza is my track.
This reminds me of my Imola project. I love the F2004 in AC and I also love Imola. I drove hundreds of laps, fiddled with the setup, crashed, improved my time, crashed again... it was an insane journey until I finally got a lap below 1:18. It ain't much in comparison to the sim racing aliens, but I'm proud of that achievement.
Anyone else really wish they had Jimmy's setup?
Crazy Cookie yes
Heck yes
Nah mate I'll pass on the shed setup
I'd like to be a good driver like Jimmy, his setup is too much for a pleb like me but I think a must for a pro sim racer/streamer like him.
@@SevenMrTee I agree!
No I love my g29
i come back to rewatch this video every few months just to appreciate jimmy's determination to beat this time - honestly one of my favorite jimmy videos ever and super inspiring every time i watch. thank you jimmy!
Jimmy gets scary when he's quiet
I very recently started to sim (like 4 days ago), in my mid 30s,
but this video reminded me that exactly 10 years ago, a friend lent me his PS2 and a copy of GT4 and i played every night, for two weeks, with a gamepad too tiny for my hands, this exact circuit with a 190 Evo Cosworth to beat some dude's real record. I can't remember if i beat it, but by God it was intense, the little mistakes, the progress, the effort and the emotion. I relived it all watching you beat the Nordschleife into submission.
Cheers too all who grind non stop for that extra tenth of a second!!!
Watching your sim videos taught me how to heel toe in my car lol
Amazing drive and shows how much you have grown 3 years of hard effort has been finally rewarded congratulations man you of all people thoroughly deserve it :)
Congrats Jimmer, shows how much you've grown and improved
What many people don't know: Steffan Bellof had to drive 2 kilometer (1,24 miles) less than today. Due to the GP Track under construction they needed to shorten the lap. His average speed was 202km/h, 125,52 mph.
Anyway huuuuuuge congrats to you jmmer!
Pretty sure it's the same layout.
Yeah , almost nobody knows this , include Jimmy , thats why he got this time , if wasnt because of the Gp Track he would Never got this time
A C No It’s not
Are you comparing to the F1 track used until 70's?
@@felipetartas5434 Yeah I think so? Not sure anymore, would have to reread it. But I think the version in Assetto Corsa should be the usual layout at the time and then they shortened the track due to the construction of the new track.
Mate, that last lap was beautiful. Talk about being ‘in the zone’. Wank deserved. 👍🏻
Thank you for making this video. I don't have a sliver of the skill nor the setup, but the feeling of fighting yourself for each tenth is absolutely there. Too often people in your position make it look too easy, don't show the failed attempts, but this to me is pure head down driving.
Thank you.
I think every sim racer have "a unicorn". And through the years some just go on to the other sim games but I think a lot of us always come back and try with different tire pressure, toe, camber,... And then a couple of months go by, maybe new sim game came out, but then you get the feeling again, "you left something unfinished"... And go back for a couple of hours,... And so on... Until you either catch that unicorn or you see a new more interesting one.
Yeah I agree. Im new to sim racing and just race with a gamepad at the moment. Im still saving up for a wheel. My unicorn right now is the spielberg red bull ring. We gotta start somewhere right
We've just witnessed the struggle every sim racer goes through. Setting a goal, trying and trying to get it, only just missing it, trying and trying some more until you finally reach your goal. This video has been all things sim racing. I can very much relate to every second of this. I appreciate you video documenting this massive effort for us all, more than you may understand. Well done Jimmer. 👍
I cheered you on for every second of that final lap. Strung it together like the champ you are. Well done man! Felt like I was watching Lewis at the Hungaroring this past year. Never give up. Never out of the fight.
Stefan Bellof -- the more you look at his racing history and read accounts of drivers that worked alongside him -- was a truly incredible driver in his day. While the accident that ended his life was ultimately his own fault, there's no denying that he had the makings of an absolute legend. Martin Brundle even said "Stefan Bellof was as quick a driver as I've ever seen," which says a lot coming from a man that drove alongside drivers like Senna and Schumacher.
It's great to see him brought into the spotlight nowadays with videos like these. Great job on the lap.
This was very emotional, and by emotional I mean in the pants.
Yes, trying to beat a real record with a videogame... Very emotional and rational... He is a true driver!!!! ouh yeah!
@Yo ming he loves motorcycles what do you expect? typical biker hating on car guys.
@@CiroDiMaRzio12304 Also hes so desperately trying to gain attention so he comments on every comment that says something like "good job jimmy for breaking the record"
Big 1 ahem HES INSECURE BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE COULDNT GET CLOSE TO THIS SO HE PUTS OTHER PEOPLE DOWN FOR ACHIEVEMENTS
@@Big1_ idiot
The difference between a master their pupil is that the master has failed more times than the pupil has tried. That being said, you seem to be well on your way to becoming a master, well done Jimmer!
The moment you crossed the line, Jimmy, my dog proceeded to root his blanket. He doesn't offer praise like that too lightly, let me tell ya.
Well done.
Well done Jim get in there! I actually found myself shouting in celebration when you finished that 6.11.0 lap, what an amazing display of determination and persistence I'm really genuinely happy for you! Absolutely bloody brilliant is the least I can say right now it's the least you deserve Jim well done indeed 😁👍
I just did 2 laps here on PSVR in A super fast Mercedes and holy hell I was shaking when I took the head set off. That shit was INTENSE.
Nordschleife in group c cars is absolutely the best thing ever. You've been a big inspiration to me to start my channel and the bit towards the beginning where you were talking about personal goals really hits home for me. It really gets taxing trying to get video after video done sometimes, especially when you're trying to film things that you aren't super passionate about. It really comes across in the videos too if you're into what you're doing or not. Keep it up jimmer.
Been there dude... I was chasing a 5min 23 in a Sauber C9 for 3 years Gran Turismo 3.. Did it eventually.. Then chased sub 5 for 3 years in an F1 lotus. FORZA Xbox Did that. Gave up sim racing for kart racing. Good on ya dude. This older style cars are super hard but gnarly to drive. Gotta be precise. Watching all your crashes in the places I've done the same many many times..
Well done Jimmy!! Having struggled to get gold on the Nord circuit experience playing GT, I felt your pain with the overdriving. I was regularly 3 seconds off, with many crashes from trying too hard. I actually have you to thank for getting me over the line. I took a break, discovered your channel, watched many of your vids, and when I came back 3 months later I knew the lines much better having learnt from you. Thanks bud, and great effort on the 6.11
Fantastic slow mo intro. Jimmer's quality is ever rising
Yooooooooooooooooo
Well done. That looks like a ton of fun to me. Group C cars: the faster you go the more they grip until they get unsettled over the bumps.
"Hey guys, Fancy Intro Boi here!"
I genuinely like the slo-mo musical intro, its a nice touch
Massive respect to you, Jimmy. To do serious hotlapping around the Nordschleife is probably the thing I hate the most in sim racing over the years. But when you get it right, its the most satisfying thing in sim racing. Congrats on the 6:11.1xx!
never have i ever felt this good seeing someone improve so much. well done Jimmer
I know that this is an old video now, but I'd just like you to know how much you are inspiring me to improve my racing skills. I play on console (project cars) with the joystick, because I cant afford to buy equipment like yours, but I just don't care about it that much. All I wanna do is race.
Thank you for exsisting and inspiring a lot of people like me.

I found your channel a while back and was interested but not fully invested, but over the past few months Ive watched more and more of your videos Jimmy and it is getting me hooked on racing games more than i already was, I am saving up for a Thrustmaster TMX pro to start out with and then hopefully work my way up from there, Keep up the great work Jimmy and never lose the drive to do what you do
I wonder how different your life would be if someone stuck you in a kart when you were growing up. You may not have the raw talent, but you have some seriously raw determination.
Adam LeBlanc all I could think of was undertale hahaha
Jimmy, the Nordschleife videos are the ones that brought me to your channel the first place. Since then, I've been enjoying the great and even sometimes pretty wholesome content you've been posting. The things you said in this video, about besting yourself being the most important thing, it moved me a lot. Sometimes when I'm playing in the sim I get frustrated, fatigued and even "try too hard and become a sweaty mess". Seeing you, the person I look up to the most when it comes to sim-racing, go through all of these feelings, feelings that I've experienced myself and still do, just made me feel so much better with myself, with what I do. I'm not saying that "seeing an idle fail" makes one see themselves as better than the other. No. I'm saying that it makes me believe even more in my very own potential to achieve greatness and become a better person than the one I was yesterday (and also get killer lap times while I'm at it :D).
See that guy in the video, people? I like that guy.
Never thought I would see one of my skins used by the Jimmy himself... nice :)
Absolute legend! Never think any less of yourself buddy! Awesome journey, privileged to witness it. Keep doing you man!
Well done Jimmer, that lap was mesmerizing to watch.
Jimmy, we all have things we chase. I mean hell. We're drawn to your channel because we love sim racing. Who the fuck hasn't had one race that has scorned them to the point they lose their mind trying to beat it. Im extremely happy you got your moment. Looking forward to the day you smash that time even further.
6:11 is such a magical time, it shows that racing driver's are a special kinda breed, we all knew that Bellof was right up there with sheer pace and speed and that if he would have lived, it would have been a epic battle between him and Senna, both were the best at what they were doing, along senna they would have been the name of Bellof being multiple WC in maybe F1 (they say he already had signed a pre-contract with Ferrari) and he would have been GOAT before Schumacher and Senna.....but we will never know sadly...... Jimmy your effort has been brilliant and getting to that magical 6:11 must have been wonderful and yes in the future you will break that record, if you do i'll be around to see that, love the channel and keep up those vids coming!
Well said
To put it into context, it took him 16 laps in this session to get the run. The F1 gp race at the Nordschleife was (correct me if I'm wrong) only 14 laps for full race distance.
Have always said to my friends, 2nd gear in this car is the "Gear of Death"
Very, very well done Jimmers way to never give up and soldier on.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing this outstanding, very personal achievement...
Nice driving! My bucket list includes one day driving around the Nordschleife....in the mean time I watch real and simulated laps around it...
In Sim form the 962C is a beautiful car to drive especially flat out, it dose handle like it's on rails and it is easy to over correct the car if your not used to it. It dose not take long to get a good time after a few laps, within a short time you can get a 6.07 to 6.05 flat in GT Sport.
Thanks for your vids Jimmy! :)
Congrats, Jimmer ♥ what a lap!!
Also I really, really love how you edited this video, well done!
I think this video proves how tasking sim racing can be/is. To set a monster of a time like that around the Schleife is a major victory by itself and you should be very proud of yourself for accomplishing it Jimmer. Congrats man !!
Congratulations Jimmer. I let out a huge cheer for you at the end :)
I am so pleased for you man That is a hell of an achievement to say the least. What i would like to add to the positivity is that I did some bench presses at the gym and i found out that i had a lot more strength to fight the car through the corners because i was able to fight the forces being generated by the force feedback so a few bench presses, arm and shoulder exercises and i can see your lap times getting better. BTW, I love the comment "victory wank!"
The ambulances look like speed camera vans, I was thinking "oh shit" when I saw them 😄
After watching this video I've been attempting this challenge myself. It is very humbling but I can tell every time I get a little bit better. I'm close to getting in the 6 minute area. using a Logitech G27 and no assists/ 100% damage.
Man i just love all his thumbnails, the shots are beautiful (especially this one)
This was a great video. I was at the nürburgring as a young guy, when Stefan Bellof drives his rekord. What a fantastic driver and a nice guy. I become an autograph from him on this weekend. Never forget Stefan.
Amazing lap! I managed a 6:26 with my Logitech Driving Force GT (manual sequential shifting), lets see how I can improve by using my new G29. And you have to consider that Bellof had traffic during his lap, incredible performance by him
If you are planning on using the clutch and/or a shifter, your laptimes are going to get slower at first as you get used to having 3 pedals
@@Nikke-nn5mn Yes I know, but I hope that I can be faster after I get used to it
That nervous smile as you exited the mini Karussell haha. Beautifully driven James Wide-crooked. I’ve watched some of your videos before and this Herculean effort has told me I should subscribe. Muchos Lovos.
4:06 Pulls into corner at 7k leaves at 5k it’s the small things.
You did it on my birthday! This one hell of a gift I got from you Jimmy! Thanks for this awesome content, congrats for this monster of a lap!
is it just me or has jimmer not used VR for a while? 🤔
Prinz Kasper maybe it’s not so social for the camera.
I've asked him this, and he said that he just hasn't gotten around to setting it all up again.
No Jimmer VR version if you're interested - watch?v=fNNP567nasI
I don’t like the movement of the vr
Congratulations!
You are my idol in simracing I experienced Nordschleife just a month(to know where to brake and steer)
But this is just another level...
Hats off to you
Jimmer, they actually never drove on the concrete part of carrussel or schwalbenschwanz as it would mess up ground effect, thus taking the wider line.
not making much ground effect at that speed, but I think they were too low to be able to take it without bottoming our completely.
They could (and did) use the concrete part, however some drivers would choose not to to save the car over the race distance. There is footage of the race on RUclips showing cars both using and not using the banking
Something that just crossed my mind is that the track may had been recently re-laid in 1983, The new Nordschleife GP circuit was being constructed at the time and the entire park was being refurbished and modernized.
I think its likely that the circuit may have been less bumpy and the AC track mesh may not be the best comparison.
I should say though no matter the track condition Bellof's lap was unbelievably brave maybe even foolish.
01:17 can someone please put Jimmer's helmet in there so that it takes up the entire cockpit, still going through the corner in slow motion to the same song.
Thanks!
I want to see that😂😂
hi
Oh Jimmy :D You are such a joy to watch.. You said in previous videos you are struggling sometimes and you are so pure in your videos...I am truly glad you achieved your goal! I hope you have many more happy days!
17:17 that reminds me of a time I heard jim clark broke his gear box at Monaco in first gear
You "heard"? Were you actually there?
Jacob Gow no, I heard about it in a video the f1 yt channel did about Monaco, but damn do I wish I feckin was
Congratulations Jimmer! I remember when you set the original 6:46. You worked so hard, you wholeheartedly deserved this!
whats the song at 1:13?
J Wolfe - Sonorous
It went from funny, frustrating, emotional, to just sitting here in silence watching every turn you make every time you nearly slip. Noones gonna talk about 24:08? A single CM more turned anywhere and that lap was gone. Literal tears on this lap. I love this channel you have created. Very talented, great potential. Shoot for 6:09.00 next. You just know you have to.
Your only missing a shaker rig, exhaust smells, and a proper stereo setup. not to mention a helmet, but well done.
Congratulations Jimmy! That last lap was pure ASMR of simracing - very clean ride just a hair's breadth away from those crazy kerbs, it was a pleasure to watch.
"To give up is to quit at what you believe in, and well, that just isn't an option"
Hello Jimmy, it is a challenge to circumnavigate the Nordschleife, especially at such a time! But the big difference is being there in real life. Once you have driven over the Schwedenkreuz and through the Fuchsröhre at over 200 kilometers per hour, you will find out what an incredible talent Stefan Bellof had to maintain this speed over the entire course.
Greetings from Germany
You know that the Nürburgring was slightly shorter when Bellof made the record time?
Nice Run; and very impressive how much you lowered your PB with every try over the years. Congrats:) And I too must once again mention how impressive that time was that Bellof drove in ´83. Which as others had already mentioned was actually done in a 956; main difference was that the 962 was longer due to safety-regulations. And if I remember correctly the 962 had a bit more HP; I think it was around 30 HP more at 8200 RPM. Really a shame that his career had to end this tragic and this early. Could easily see how Bellof could have been the first german F1-Champion before Schumacher.
1: Did you use the longtail or shorttail
2: can you show us your setup¿
(btw. great contant an awesome lap, keep it up jimmer)
Didn't Bellof use a 956? Or did Jimmer correct himself and im too stupid/deaf to notice?
Hope you're good and staying safe.
I started to watch this thinking it was something completely different! I was going to leave and then there was an AMAZING graphic up of the Porsche gliding through some corners. I changed my mind and stayed to watch this. Mind blowing how real these simulators are now. It's been a long time since I used one. Nice work.
we are in the era when gfx cards started to do real-time ray tracing!
Favorite Jimmy's engine? the WANKel engine
Well done Jimmy! Let that lap be a symbol for the many many things you have achieved over the last three years and the better place you are in and how you have managed to help others achieve such changes.
as far as I know Bellof had a tow from his team mate down the straight
Indeed, it was jacky ickx, but then he was held up at the start of the track by keke rosberg, so swings and roundabouts
Bart Smeele even tho tow makes diffrence i dont believe it made more than 2 seconds
@@eduardlouvage2223 the lap you see on yt where he was supposedly held up by Keke Rosberg was taken from Derek Bell's car during practice. No onboard footage (not even 3 sec of it) of Stefan's lap exists in any, way shape or form.
It's worth noting that Bellof was using an early 956 rather than the later 962, had a lot of much slower traffic to contend with, very limited track time and the sim model is based on post 1983 nurburgring which has had some of the bigger jumps shaved down. It shows how impressive the Bellof lap was. Of course Bellof probably was pushing harder than he should have as evidenced by flipping and destroying the car in the race! This was endurance racing, smart drivers who were both fast and mechanically sympathetic like Derek Bell were the consistent winners in this era.
Do you set your shifter to dogleg pattern for cars like this that have them?
Knowing the highs and lows of Nordschleife hot lapping first hand.
I'm very happy for you, Massive Congrats and especially respect for keeping at it!!!
What is the music at the end of the lap? I need to hear to that music while flying alone at the sunset...
By the way, I found it... It's called Wasteland by Plex Supplies and yes... listening while flying is just perfect, too bad is a short one
@@aboriani thanks
only that it isn't. It's using the same sample, but it's not quite the same mix as used in the video (Beat and Bassline is different). By now I've managed to find 2 other songs using it: NNTH - Inside the Cloud and Alexey Kovalenko - Dreamland. I'm guessing the mix in the video is by another underground artist, which makes it nearly impossible to find. Edit: Another Song using the sample is J Wolfe - Sonorous.
just found it in comments somewhere below

@@Whitevad Damn dude! Thank you! This version is much better than the one I've found! Thanks again!
Well done Jimmy. Great video, loved the intro, your passion that went into it and the part where you say its not about being the fastest, its about setting yourself goals and achieving them by improving. And most important great driving. I know you say you arent that good, but I have to say: brilliant driving. The first half of lap 10 was absolutely amazing.
Keep up the great work
Greetings from germany
You used the Porsche 962 but Bellof Made the lap with a 956 If i remember correctly
Yep Porsche built the 962 as a longer nosed, steel roll cage equipped version of the 956 to meet IMSA safety requirements in the US. They brought it to Group C because of Bellof's death.
Congrats, Jimmy. I hate doing hotlaps, but I love seeing others beating the time they tried to do for 3 years.
