    I used to work for the Daytona Karting group and we used to hold an event at Mercedes Benz World in Brooklands, Surrey for the Henry Surtees Foundation. As I was marshalling the event in like 2014 (I think), John Surtees took a bunch of his old F1 cars out on the MB World track and drove them in anger, before leading the field of karts around for pace laps. It was amazing to see these things being driven so hard up close. John then came round each and every marshal post and thanked us all for making the event possible. Absolute gentlemen, and a fierce racer! It's always great to see his cars out and about again :)

    Loving the progression. From watching you wreck stuff in BeamNG from the shed to seeing you progress through karting, BritCar and now, sampling a classic F1 car, it's all been fantastic. There are many of us who are living vicariously through your exploits. Here's to many more adventures!

    That is something else. To drive an F1 car from any era is special, but one with the ESSENTIAL DFV V8 Cosworth, and the glorious noise it makes - it's taken me back to 1976. I'm four years old again. I'm wearing shorts and I have a big daft grin on my face.
    And best of all - you didn't stall it once. Top job.

    Awesome, congrats for the opportunity! In the early 2000s I visited the Nurburgring for an event called Oldtimer Grand Prix, lots of vintage race cars going for it. The most memorable race was classic F1 and I'm pretty sure this car was one of them. That noise one of those make going down a straight on full chat... epic.

    There's not a more evocative sound in Motorsport than a Cosworth DFV - massive congratulations that Buckmore , and I'd imagine the Surtees family, let you have a play with a truly amazing bit of kit.
    Professional works racing driver, with F1 experience - you should be very proud of everything you've achieved, given the position you have been in the past.
    You are an absolute inspiration, every single day.

    The classic f1 cars are always fantastic. Whilst never had the pleasure to go in one myself ive seen them many times around a circuit. My dad used to race in Historic FF2000 and when grids were small an old f1 car would sneak their way into the race. Greatest one i saw was probably the march 2-4-0 six-wheeler. You cant quite grasp the speed of these when they're buy themselves but they way they'd fly through the FF2000s was unbelievable. Very happy for you jimmer a great moment and well deserved.

    i do want F1 to maybe find a way to do an NA or turbo V8 for the next generation of cars. Obviously hybrid would be involved but considering the current engineering going into low displacement motors with more cylinders its possible.
    On that note though, holy shit Jimmy has come a long way. Congrats man

    The DFV is definitely the most incredible racing engine that's been as successful as it has. The amount of years that it was used, as well as the tremendous success it gained, puts it on a level where no other racing motor has gone. It also sounds fantastic, which helps

    @malcolmdonohoe9388 3 года назад

    Brilliant Jimmy, what an experience. Knowing some of these classic race mechanic types, I guarantee when he was out doing laps himself, he was picking the revs to set the limiter "too low" to avoid anyone getting too giddy on the straight and piling on, but that's just sensible with folks he doesn't know getting in a bit of history. Won't have impacted the joy of driving one of those things one bit - tremendous experience for ya. :)

    This is absolutely mental. I'd be scared shitless to drive a screaming metal death trap with 500-some-odd HP while weighing like a relative twig compared to that. Even in first gear it sounds so intimidating. Happy for ya, Jimmy! That must have been like nirvana, the TS19 is a beaut. Driving it around such a tight and twisty track designed for go-karts must have been a little nervewracking.
