  • Welcome to Ben Collins Gaming - my new sub-channel where I’ll be focusing on my journey into the incredible world of e-motorsports.
    I’ve started with a bang for my first video, heading over to my friend @MatArmstrongbmx's house to check out his sim rigs. As you’d probably expect with Mat, he hasn’t done things by halves with his setup. We jump into an online race on Assetto Corsa Competizione, where I face a complete baptism of fire against Mat and some talented online racers.
    I hope you enjoy this slightly different content. Remember, you can find my main channel here: @BenCollinsDrives

    Imagine being these other players not knowing they are racing the stig 😂 that's the best

    Mat is far more concerned about virtual car damage than real ones.

    Ben Collins and Mat Armstrong collabs are always super fun videos. Both of you have given me so much entertainment recently, I'm so grateful for your work 🙏

    Little did Jimmy Broadbent know, that when Ben said "I'll get you next time!" it will be in the sim once he's practiced enough. ;)
    Will be fun to see your progress!

    Great video Ben, instant like and subscribe from me. Quite a few sim racers are finding seats in real race cars as you know, but you going the other way with it is fascinating, with all your knowledge and insight from wrestling the real things. I look forward to following your journey!

    @dalehughes5470 12 дней назад +1

    This has made my day. A childhood hero plus the one of the sims I spend way too much time in. Your going to love it. The fact you jumped straight out, took one breath to straighten the motion wobbles, then instantly went hunting for Matts best time tells it all 😀

    Fantastic fun video mate! Some filthy driving going on there 😄 If you fancy a different challenge some time... Check out LA Canyons on the original Assetto Corsa. Miles of canyon roads featured on 'The Smoking Tire' videos. Careful though, there are no run-offs or gravel traps, if you go off you're 500ft down a cliff (might hurt in those rigs)!

    Awesome! I remember I was pretty good on Gran Turismo 4 on PS3 (played GT1, GT2, GT3 a lot on PSX, PS2)... but it was with a controller... Then a friend got a chair, wheel, pedals (this was in like 2005'ish so no moving chairs... just a force feedback wheel)... And I tried it, and I just had to start over all again... knew the tracks and cars pretty well... but turning with a controller even though analogue is pretty fast with a thumb/finger from full left to full right with a force feedback wheel it takes forever so... I had to drive in a total different way. So it sort of went from "Arcade" fun to actually have to brake before the corner and do minimal corrections (with the stick you could correct much faster with a bad brake, or too much speed)...
    Anyway... it took sometime to get used to (I had a force feedback wheel before that I played with on the PC though, so I was familiar with it) and relearn how to drive in GT4...
    Would love a setup like this...

    a sim race would seem the most economical way considering Armstrongs recent crash records. Instead of Armstrong he could call him self Heavyfoot.
