@@thechief597 Max is one of the best drivers in the world that happens to sim race, Jimmy is a true sim racer for the people that I saw grow from a mere shed dweller to a true Champion.
Title says 2 years of effort, but we all know it was longer than that. What a great come back from being lost and stuck in a shed to be living your dream and being a true champion. Nice work Jimmer! Here’s to more… Edit- he changed the title :)
Jimmy is the only persons who’s success genuinely makes me emotional. You’re a true inspiration Jimmer. You deserve all the success you’ve worked so hard for 🙏
@@Nathan-ix8bd I sure did been watching for years. Alot of YT'rs have taken this thing to amazing levels. But Jimmer's rise is definitely unique and one of a kind!!
I think a lot of it is because many people who expose themselves on platforms like RUclips aren't really that genuine and they're honestly not that good of people when it comes down to it. Jimmy on the other hand is a super real person who's genuine empathetic and not at all a sosciopath like so many others who do stuff like this
You better be back next year to defend your championship. You're a REAL racing driver no matter what you think. Even now you're more a racing driver than you give yourself credit for. No need to thank us. Thank YOU. You've given people dreams to look forward to.
Looks like he wasnt, and its a shame, he mightve been moved up to pro since he won the last championship, also he brought in loads of viewers for them, shame they didnt try to keep him for a little while longer as a factory driver
I just had flashbacks to watching a race and hearing commentary while not being born for a few years after said race... I really heard "and I've got to stop now, because I have a lump in my throat. "
Jimmy, know that we are all incredibly proud of you. So pleased to have met you at Donington on the Sunday - really appreciate you taking the time to chat to me. Congratulations again pal, no one deserves it more.
Here I am at work, about to cry for two guys I've never met that live on a different continent. Thanks, Jimmy, for showing us that regular people can achieve their dreams!!!
"Bravery isn't the absence of fear, it's being scared and doing it anyways" Could not be happier for you Jimmy. Well deserved and honestly so proud of you. Makes me think things really are possible if you work hard enough. Congrats!!!
Some incredible efforts from Gordie made this happen, but Jimmy's improvements were also essential to securing a title. Both of them should be congratulated wholeheartedly.
I don't think I've ever been more proud of a random internet stranger. You are an inspiration to hundreds of thousands, Jimmy. There are two things that can never be taken away from you, and that is that you are a Champion in motorsports, and that you have been an inspiration to so many. Congratulations, Jimmer.
Jay Morton seems like a really chill dude, the smile he had on his face as he hugged you shows he was proud/happy for you, what a drive both of u had tho
There's no doubt Gordie is a singularly talented driver that earned every ounce of this victory, but nobody can deny that you, dear Jimmy, have demonstrated exceptional skill, growth, and the highest level of sportsmanship and earned every bit of the seasons' victory for yourself and your team too. Thank you for bringing us along!
I found this channel basically by accident in 2017 and it's just unfathomable the ride we've all been able to take with you since then, Jimmy. Endless congratulations for everything you've achieved. Now you just need to come race something on this side of the pond.
The one tiny thing that I thought was missing in this video that I only really saw on Twitter, was the photo of you and all the guys you Sim race with (a very brief clip in here, but not everyone will know who they are) - seeing that photo on Twitter really hit home how much joy you've brought me over the past 5 or so years of watching you guys on RUclips and how genuine you've all been through this time :)
Looking like a proper racing driver with those ray bans. Sincere congratulations to you and Gordie and the whole team, well deserved. You're an inspiration, Jimmer. Best wishes.
What an evolution. From a shed dweller, through a sim racer and youtuber, into a race driver and not straight into a champion! I used to follow Kubica few years back, but now You are the driver I follow and keep my fingers crossed for every time. Great job and keep that trophy collection growing!
so proud of you jimmer you've come along way from driving pretend cars in shed at the bottom of a garden and seeing you win a championship after the effort you've put in after way more then two years is just amazing and definitely isn't the end of your journey
This story is real. A RUclips gamer gets a chance to drive a racecar in a league against The Stig, and he wins the Championship. As he's recording the outro, The Stig drives by yelling out of his window that he'll get him next time. That's a fever dream.
Jimmer, I only started watching your videos after your first Praga video, but I’m still so happy to see how much you’ve grown. Seeing you win the championship was an incredible moment for me, and I’m sure for everyone who watches your videos. We are all so proud of you, champion
I found this channel in the summer of 2018 when I was going to buy a VR set and wanted to see some VR racing in action, I stuck around because you're an entertaining fellow. I'm glad I got to witness this journey. Once again, Congo Rats! to Jimmer, Gordie and the rest of the Goldie team.
Been watching you for years Jimmer and was just happy to lurk, enjoying your content and the emotional ride you've taken us all on. Massive congrats at your championship and realising your dreams. I bet your Grandad is looking down on you now with a massive smile on his face. You deserve all your hard fought success.
Jimmy is that behemoth of an online personality that will never not be just a regular fella that you'd meet on the street........ and it's that relatability that's made me a forever sub! Congratz on the championship bud, well deserved!
Just goes to show the power of taking your chance and making somebody else say no instead of doing it yourself. So proud to see the progress from you. Gordie is a incredibly quick, but you wouldn't have won if you were a complete no-hoper. You still had to make some great drives this year and you did. Congrats, Jimmy!
Mate, what a bloody ride. I still can't believe you pulled it off. From bleached haired shed dweller to Praga Cup Champion. You know, us sim racers love what we do, and alot of us dreamt of being in a real race car. Alot of that comes from the times we spent with family i think, watching racing together when we were kids. To watch you get the opportunity to do it for real has been a real pleasure. Not an ounce of jealousy or envy, but a massive amount of pride from me, a random bearded person on the internet. Winning the Indy 500 on iRacing that time and seeing what it meant to you, how events coincided then and how emotional it was, you only ever really went upwards from there. It started from those times. Not 2 years ago, but all the years you put your heart and soul into turning a wheel and pressing pedals in your shed. That Indy 500 when you just turned up and showed Americans how to turn left, those endurance races, putting the hours in, starting a RUclips channel so that us ballbags can tag along on your races. You earnt every second of this. Congratulations Jimmy
I know we as your fans have said it before but ill say it again. I'm so fucking proud of you! I literally shed "eh shed!" a tear watching this. All the hard work you've put in, all the ups and downs, the fear, confusion, and stress all led up to this. You're a true inspiration. I wish I lived in England and could've gone to the race weekend to cheer you on. Well done dude! Now time to get wasted and bask in the glory YOU'RE A FUCKING CHAMPION in every sense of the word.
Jimmy, the lesson at 17:58 for you is, you're really brave. You can't have bravery without fear, and you felt the fear, and you did it anyway. Not to mention that you not only 'did it' but look at what you've done... you beat the Stig!!! I'm so happy for you dude. All the best.
Endlessly proud of you, Jimmy. You aren't just an inspiration to me with how successful you've been at making a name for yourself, you're an inspiration with how you've handled your success and "fame" and still being the humble and funny lad you are. I'm so excited to continue to follow your travels and see what you do next.
Jimmy the First I saw of you was on your nordschleife Videos in 2017 or 2018. Since I have regularly seen your videos. I was and still am very delighted to see that you uploaded a new video or are streaming. Thank you for bringing me such joy and congratulations to you. You deserve everything. Greetings from Germany
Seeing the pure joy when you stood on top of that car as champion has made my week. Top level role model for all of us idiots out here with big dreams. Congratulations on a well deserved championship. Big love Jimmer.
I definitely get the "i want to go home" feeling you once had before going into this. Its been quite wholesome floating along watching the good things flow in! You deserve it man, and like you say.. its so real even your stupid head cant take it away from you ❤️
Hi Jimmer. I've been watching your stuff for a few years now and I've enjoyed it greatly. Your enthusiasm for your passion is infectious, and people can sense it easily through your videos. Even for folks who don't watch racing, you're an entertaining host. I've never commented before, but I wanted to take a moment to share how much watching your transformation from sim racer to racing driver has inspired me. It's not every day that you get to watch, bit by bit, as someone makes their dreams come true before your eyes. You have a complete visual record of your ascension from shed-dweller to a championship-winning racing driver. This is no mean feat. In fact, it was a very brave thing: you not only fought hard through trials of all kinds to achieve your goals, *you placed the record of your struggle online for all to see.* All your mistakes, your flubs and your punts, your family troubles, all the obstacles were shared with us, your viewers. That kind of vulnerability is testament to your character. All this is to say: you inspire people. I wonder if you understand how much. Your journey is just beginning, and I'm grateful that I've witnessed a portion of it. Keep going. We're with you.
I don't remember which race it was, but one day I stumbled upon some guy in a shed doing 100% races in F1 2017. I didn't care so much about the racing, but the personality of this guy had my attention and I was immediately hooked. I can't believe it's been over 5 years. You really are an inspiration. I'm so proud of you and it's been a pleasure watching you grow and achieving your dreams! Thank YOU for sharing your journey with all of us!
Who could have thought years ago when I started watching Jimmy that this day would come. Just amazing what he's achieved coming from a tiny shed in the garden. Congrats, Jimmy. You deserve all the success you can achieve.
Jimmer, what a carrer! From a shed dwelling sim racer, plowing the fastest cars in Assetto Corsa, punting Lando off the track, joining Praga, and claiming that your are not just a sim racer, you are a Praga Cup 2022 CHAMPION, I have watched you since 2020. And Now, two years later, to see you on the top, we have come so far, in such a little time. But now is not to rest, it's to go beyond... It's hammertime.
This had been the best life of a driver documentary ever. congratulations Jimmy. I quite enjoyed watching the last 2yrs. You should put this on the big screen.
Stop saying "for a sim racer". You are a racing driver. And a champion. Stop making excuses for feeling like you don't deserve shit that you've earned.
These guys drove a crab across the line in 1st to win a championship. Absolutely amazing! And to think, I wouldn't even know who this Broadbent guy is if we didn't share a love for being desktop racers. I always felt that a racer is a racer, and if you're good driving through code, you're good driving full stop. Jimmy has proved as much in 2 years of racing. I can't imagine how much you've heard it up to this point, but I'll say it again for all of us. We're so proud of you, shed boi! You're a champion!!! I thought seeing you on a sports broadcast in the US, racing against F1 drivers during the pandemic in the virtual world, was really something. Someone I really want to see succeed is rubbing shoulders with the celebrities of the sport. Well, now you hold a title that many of those drivers have yet to accomplish in any form of racing. Meditate on that. You deserve it. I can't wait to see where your journey takes you next, Jim. And congrats once again!
Dude you are a fucking champion! You deserve it and I hope you can achieve even more in the world of racing. There is a whole community that loves you and you are such a kind hearted, nice person, man you are a role model. I wish I could hug you, huge fan of you for just 2 years now and I already see you as one of my favorites on RUclips.
I feel like if you went back a few years and told Jimmy when he was starting out that by 2022 he'd have met Richard Hammond, James May, Ben Collins, became a racing driver, and ultimately a championship winning racing driver, he probably would've said you were mad. But look at ya Jimmer. You've done it. I've wanted to do racing ever since I was little, and seeing your success has allowed me to sort of live out that dream vicariously through you. Congratulations Jimmy, you bloody well earned it.
OMG, YOUR THE CHAMPIONS!! Absolutely amazing for both of Jimmy, when you win it feels like we all have won. Thank you for giving that to us followers . Great job!
ik i’m late but i got into sim racing back in january, and i just wanna say to you jim, thank you for proving to the world that we can accomplish anything with a little bit of effort. i’ve wanted to be an lmp driver ever since last year and never thought i’d be able to pull it off since i’m 17 and never touched a racing wheel up until recently. thank you so much jimmy and congratulations on your championship win!
Found your channel looking for good sim racing gear. Yet to buy the gear but still watch your channel years later! So cool to see you come all this way and see you live two identities simultaneously - a sim racer and a championship winning race car driver. Congrats man!
Hey Jimmy! So excited for you and proud of you my dude! Been watching your channel and streams for many years now, since 70k subscribers or so, and for real your content has helped me get through some tough times, and huge transitions and moments in my life. Your own journey with mental health has mirrored mine in many ways, and seeing you find success in your own unique path has truly inspired me. Thanks a ton mate, congrat, and no punterino!
I can't tell you how proud I am with you Jimmy! Congratulations from the bottom of my heart, you were my favourite sim racer and now you are my favourite part time sim racer, part timr champion!
You've come so far Jimmy, you're such a persistent man who's achieved a life and career all of us in the comment section have only dreamed of. Congratulations!
It's been a absolute pleasure discovering your channel in lock down and seeing how far you've come in just 2 years. Back yourself all the way, you've got something special mate
Jimmer, I'm late so I know you won't see this, but I want it to be here. I frickin love you man. You've come so far on your journey. I want you to know your Grandad will be happy for you up there in heaven. Your story is a reason for my belief. You've come so far, it's like a miracle you've worked hard for. And with God's help, you've found it. I couldn't be more happier for you. I lovd you Jimmy
Been an incredible journey to follow, when I first watched you're channel years back I never thought you'd be doing this.. let alone champion! Congratulations to you and Gordie on the championship! Look forward to seeing where the journey take you next.
Absolute fucking legend. It's been amazing watching you evolve throughout the years. From watching you play in your shed to winning a championship in real life, it's amazing what's possible if you put your mind to it. People say it alot, and it sounds super corny, but never give up. We're right beside you all the way, jimmer.
Congratulations Jimmy & Gordie and to the whole team as well ! That's an amazing accomplishment ! After watching your videos and streams for years now as well as your progress in real life motorsport, this is a thrill to see you leaving your dream at a 100%. Cheers man !
I am so happy to have the chance of experiencing your journey from Sim racing into the live motorsport world. I'm incredibly proud of what you have achieved as are more than 800k other people here. Can't wait to see what's still to come.
Lesson would be you succeed from the opportunities you take... Or nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity... Glad you took the first step and two years later can feel the success. You're an inspiration Jimmer 👌
Brilliant move by Praga to put you behind the wheels for two reasons - you bad a bigger audience than most of the race drivers so you gave the series a real boost of viewership and of course - YOU ARE A DARN GOOD DRIVER, Jimmy!
Well done Jimmy! It's been awesome to follow your Praga journey over the past 2 years, watching the massive improvements from both you and Gordie has been brilliant. Up the 87!
This has to be one of the most inspirational videos I’ve ever watched. Going from living in a shed to becoming a championship racing driver really does show if you put in the work you can achieve your dreams. One day I’ll get into a real race car
Well done again Jimmy and gordie, I was watching when you won your first race in the praga, and I was watching when you won your first title, never have i been happier for a complete stranger,
Congratulations, Jimmer! Your story is a real inspiration. From a shed to a championship...couldn't happen to a more deserving guy. You earned it, I hope you enjoy every second!
Ive been following you since you were gamer in a shack. Nnow seeing you so much happier, successful and even more real makes me so glad and fills me with hope for everything. That board you have that says its ok to make mistakes,enjoy yourself..,.. that board should start a while new religion
This is such an unbelievable dream/journey, i can imagine it taking a while to sink in. Enjoy every second of it, you deserve this, you made this all happen, not luck or whatever, YOU did. Gratz Champ. GG ;)
Congrabulaions on your achievements Jimmy. You are an inspiration to all us sim racers who wish we could be on track with you. Top job scholar ☝️👏🥰 Word of advice from an old hat. Nothing is ever as bad as we make out in our heads! We can think ourselves out of life giving in to fear. Good luck in the future matey!
I'm one of your more recent fans, but I'm glad I was here to witness the beginning of your Praga journey. I'm overjoyed for you, and it proves that life can really go your way sometimes if you push it. I'd also like to point out that the editing for this Praga series has been incredible, so thank your editor for such expert story telling skills.

Isn't Jimmy now the first SimRacer that has won a real-life Championship?
@@freakysquirrel7218 Isn't Max Verstappen a sim racer also?

Hearing The Stig say “I’ll get you next time, Broadbent!” has gotta be a top 3 moment for the channel
Perfect energy with:
First, im gonna take your ride and then your girl, get ready for that.

Title says 2 years of effort, but we all know it was longer than that. What a great come back from being lost and stuck in a shed to be living your dream and being a true champion. Nice work Jimmer! Here’s to more…
Edit- he changed the title :)
Changed to just years now on mine
@@Ellispicks lol it was 2 years in the title, but maybe he saw the comment or thought different lol understandably of course
@@FlamingOnion_1 and he loved your comment but not mine. Sad fanboi
Edit - i am a sad fanboi lol

Great job!
Jimmy is the only persons who’s success genuinely makes me emotional. You’re a true inspiration Jimmer. You deserve all the success you’ve worked so hard for 🙏

@@Nathan-ix8bd I sure did been watching for years. Alot of YT'rs have taken this thing to amazing levels. But Jimmer's rise is definitely unique and one of a kind!!
My old hero was Lucas Ordonez... Now Jimmy and Gordie are on my list of racers to follow! I wish both a great career!
You should love yourself more brother...
I think a lot of it is because many people who expose themselves on platforms like RUclips aren't really that genuine and they're honestly not that good of people when it comes down to it.

18:27 lifes good, if the stig hates you for being faster than him, then you know youre doing something right
heckled by the Stig is a significant accolade 😂
When did they film at dunsfold? I keep seeing the clip of the Merc, but I'm not about to scroll through all of Jimmers stuff to find it lol
@@AlphaHumphrey I think he drove a Mclaren there early in the IRL driving videos?
😂
That needs to be a stream donation sound imo
So who else teared up at the race 1 win?
Amazing job Jimmy, onwards with your racing career!
Only for like the third time.
@@katrinapaton5283 seriously, when I watched it live I was glad my roomate was doing other things because I had a bit of a moment
Yep! Not to mention the fact I was shouting "GO ONN!!" at my phone!

👏 fantastic, so proud though mate.
Who'd have thought we would see Broadbent VS Stig irl when we started this journey

This felt like the end credits of the main campaign of Jimmer. Now to the DLC!
Massive congratulations on the success and making the most of every opportunity. Continue living the dream!
Confidence is throwing yourself into the abyss , and finding its a feather bed. Congrats Jimmer! Inspirational as always.

On behalf of the sim racing community across the globe, thank you for being an inspiration to us all! Here's to the future champions of the world!
Praga can thank you too, because you have given them much wider audience than they would have otherwise got. The angry Stig on the end was hilarious 😁
Looking like a proper racing driver with those ray bans.
Sincere congratulations to you and Gordie and the whole team, well deserved.
You're an inspiration, Jimmer.

Hi Jimmer. I've been watching your stuff for a few years now and I've enjoyed it greatly. Your enthusiasm for your passion is infectious, and people can sense it easily through your videos. Even for folks who don't watch racing, you're an entertaining host. I've never commented before, but I wanted to take a moment to share how much watching your transformation from sim racer to racing driver has inspired me. It's not every day that you get to watch, bit by bit, as someone makes their dreams come true before your eyes. You have a complete visual record of your ascension from shed-dweller to a championship-winning racing driver. This is no mean feat. In fact, it was a very brave thing: you not only fought hard through trials of all kinds to achieve your goals, *you placed the record of your struggle online for all to see.* All your mistakes, your flubs and your punts, your family troubles, all the obstacles were shared with us, your viewers. That kind of vulnerability is testament to your character. All this is to say: you inspire people. I wonder if you understand how much. Your journey is just beginning, and I'm grateful that I've witnessed a portion of it. Keep going. We're with you.
So proud of you Jimmer and Gordy! A well deserved title for you both, stoked you're getting to live your dream mate!
I don't remember which race it was, but one day I stumbled upon some guy in a shed doing 100% races in F1 2017. I didn't care so much about the racing, but the personality of this guy had my attention and I was immediately hooked. I can't believe it's been over 5 years. You really are an inspiration. I'm so proud of you and it's been a pleasure watching you grow and achieving your dreams! Thank YOU for sharing your journey with all of us!
I am so so proud of you Jimmer! Fully deserved 🎉🔥
Who could have thought years ago when I started watching Jimmy that this day would come. Just amazing what he's achieved coming from a tiny shed in the garden. Congrats, Jimmy. You deserve all the success you can achieve.
a real tear jerker. tears of joy for our brother. ye deserve it jimmer
Jimmer, what a carrer! From a shed dwelling sim racer, plowing the fastest cars in Assetto Corsa, punting Lando off the track, joining Praga, and claiming that your are not just a sim racer, you are a Praga Cup 2022 CHAMPION, I have watched you since 2020. And Now, two years later, to see you on the top, we have come so far, in such a little time. But now is not to rest, it's to go beyond... It's hammertime.
Big congratulations to Goldie for carrying Gordie and Jimmy to a well deserved championship. Couldn't have done it without you.
Thanks for taking us with you to the journey, it's been a pleasure to see you race on the sim and on the track! You did it!
NEVA GIVE UP!!!
i was hoping to see jimmy's raw emotions as he got out of the car when they clinched. i love his reactions to winning
This had been the best life of a driver documentary ever. congratulations Jimmy. I quite enjoyed watching the last 2yrs. You should put this on the big screen.
Stop saying "for a sim racer".
You are a racing driver. And a champion. Stop making excuses for feeling like you don't deserve shit that you've earned.
From a sim racer to a championship winning racing driver
this has been an insane journey, and it's no where near the end
Ben "The Stig" Collins shouting "I'll beat you next time, Broadbent" from the car window as they drive off is hilarious!
These guys drove a crab across the line in 1st to win a championship. Absolutely amazing!
And to think, I wouldn't even know who this Broadbent guy is if we didn't share a love for being desktop racers.
I always felt that a racer is a racer, and if you're good driving through code, you're good driving full stop. Jimmy has proved as much in 2 years of racing.
I can't imagine how much you've heard it up to this point, but I'll say it again for all of us. We're so proud of you, shed boi! You're a champion!!!
I thought seeing you on a sports broadcast in the US, racing against F1 drivers during the pandemic in the virtual world, was really something. Someone I really want to see succeed is rubbing shoulders with the celebrities of the sport.
Well, now you hold a title that many of those drivers have yet to accomplish in any form of racing. Meditate on that. You deserve it.
I can't wait to see where your journey takes you next, Jim. And congrats once again!
Dude you are a fucking champion!
You deserve it and I hope you can achieve even more in the world of racing. There is a whole community that loves you and you are such a kind hearted, nice person, man you are a role model. I wish I could hug you, huge fan of you for just 2 years now and I already see you as one of my favorites on RUclips.
I feel like if you went back a few years and told Jimmy when he was starting out that by 2022 he'd have met Richard Hammond, James May, Ben Collins, became a racing driver, and ultimately a championship winning racing driver, he probably would've said you were mad.
But look at ya Jimmer. You've done it. I've wanted to do racing ever since I was little, and seeing your success has allowed me to sort of live out that dream vicariously through you.
Congratulations Jimmy, you bloody well earned it.
OMG, YOUR THE CHAMPIONS!! Absolutely amazing for both of Jimmy, when you win it feels like we all have won. Thank you for giving that to us followers . Great job!
ik i’m late but i got into sim racing back in january, and i just wanna say to you jim, thank you for proving to the world that we can accomplish anything with a little bit of effort. i’ve wanted to be an lmp driver ever since last year and never thought i’d be able to pull it off since i’m 17 and never touched a racing wheel up until recently. thank you so much jimmy and congratulations on your championship win!
Well that was bloody emotional. Cheers, crying now. Love you Jimmy. You're part of the inspiration that my life needed.
Found your channel looking for good sim racing gear. Yet to buy the gear but still watch your channel years later! So cool to see you come all this way and see you live two identities simultaneously - a sim racer and a championship winning race car driver. Congrats man!
Hey Jimmy! So excited for you and proud of you my dude! Been watching your channel and streams for many years now, since 70k subscribers or so, and for real your content has helped me get through some tough times, and huge transitions and moments in my life. Your own journey with mental health has mirrored mine in many ways, and seeing you find success in your own unique path has truly inspired me. Thanks a ton mate, congrat, and no punterino!
I can't tell you how proud I am with you Jimmy! Congratulations from the bottom of my heart, you were my favourite sim racer and now you are my favourite part time sim racer, part timr champion!
You've come so far Jimmy, you're such a persistent man who's achieved a life and career all of us in the comment section have only dreamed of. Congratulations!
The fact that you went from sim racing to this is crazy so well done to you and the team. The championship was well deserved.
It's been a absolute pleasure discovering your channel in lock down and seeing how far you've come in just 2 years. Back yourself all the way, you've got something special mate
Jimmer, I'm late so I know you won't see this, but I want it to be here.
I frickin love you man. You've come so far on your journey. I want you to know your Grandad will be happy for you up there in heaven. Your story is a reason for my belief. You've come so far, it's like a miracle you've worked hard for. And with God's help, you've found it. I couldn't be more happier for you.
I lovd you Jimmy
Been an incredible journey to follow, when I first watched you're channel years back I never thought you'd be doing this.. let alone champion!
Congratulations to you and Gordie on the championship! Look forward to seeing where the journey take you next.
So proud of you Jimmy, amazing to see how far you've come in the five years that I've been subscribed. Here's to more success next year!
Absolute fucking legend. It's been amazing watching you evolve throughout the years. From watching you play in your shed to winning a championship in real life, it's amazing what's possible if you put your mind to it. People say it alot, and it sounds super corny, but never give up. We're right beside you all the way, jimmer.
Congratulations Jimmy & Gordie and to the whole team as well ! That's an amazing accomplishment ! After watching your videos and streams for years now as well as your progress in real life motorsport, this is a thrill to see you leaving your dream at a 100%. Cheers man !
I am so happy to have the chance of experiencing your journey from Sim racing into the live motorsport world. I'm incredibly proud of what you have achieved as are more than 800k other people here.
Can't wait to see what's still to come.
Lesson would be you succeed from the opportunities you take...
Or nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity...
Glad you took the first step and two years later can feel the success.
You're an inspiration Jimmer 👌
Brilliant move by Praga to put you behind the wheels for two reasons - you bad a bigger audience than most of the race drivers so you gave the series a real boost of viewership and of course - YOU ARE A DARN GOOD DRIVER, Jimmy!
Well done Jimmy! It's been awesome to follow your Praga journey over the past 2 years, watching the massive improvements from both you and Gordie has been brilliant. Up the 87!
This has to be one of the most inspirational videos I’ve ever watched. Going from living in a shed to becoming a championship racing driver really does show if you put in the work you can achieve your dreams. One day I’ll get into a real race car
Well done again Jimmy and gordie, I was watching when you won your first race in the praga, and I was watching when you won your first title, never have i been happier for a complete stranger,
Congratulations, Jimmer! Your story is a real inspiration. From a shed to a championship...couldn't happen to a more deserving guy. You earned it, I hope you enjoy every second!
Amazing video, amazing edit, amazing vibes all the way through. The time flew by. Really well done.
"The pain of discipline is always better than the pain of regret"
is the phrase I think you were searching for.
Well done mate so proud \m/
Ive been following you since you were gamer in a shack. Nnow seeing you so much happier, successful and even more real makes me so glad and fills me with hope for everything. That board you have that says its ok to make mistakes,enjoy yourself..,.. that board should start a while new religion
Absolutely amazing, well deserved, well raced - You and Goldie are legends!!!
This is such an unbelievable dream/journey, i can imagine it taking a while to sink in. Enjoy every second of it, you deserve this, you made this all happen, not luck or whatever, YOU did. Gratz Champ. GG ;)
Congrabulaions on your achievements Jimmy. You are an inspiration to all us sim racers who wish we could be on track with you.
Top job scholar ☝️👏🥰
Word of advice from an old hat.
Nothing is ever as bad as we make out in our heads! We can think ourselves out of life giving in to fear. Good luck in the future matey!
I'm one of your more recent fans, but I'm glad I was here to witness the beginning of your Praga journey. I'm overjoyed for you, and it proves that life can really go your way sometimes if you push it.
I'd also like to point out that the editing for this Praga series has been incredible, so thank your editor for such expert story telling skills.
