Jimmy, I've been playing on TL5 (Gunma Cycle Center) for many months leading up to your video. The server was desolate in it's prior state. I just wanted to thank-you for your videos on this server. The amount of users, culture, and fun that has just been injected into this community overnight has been incredible. I never thought I would best my time on that server prior to your video but there's already new users coming on blasting prior leaderboard records that I am learning a ton from. Thanks again man.
It didn’t help that they changed the setup some months ago to make people download a single car at a time rather than one big pack as before. That shit is tedious. It took a hour to download every single car mod for all servers on touge Union.
I also used to play TL5 and never relised it was for battles, i thought it was only a time trial server because only 1 or 2 people would be online hotlapping at the most
Too simple to suggest there may be a correlation between views and Jimmy putting out something that HE just enjoys? It's obvious this is something he's passionate about and it genuinely comes across like he's having fun. Competitive and personable at the same time.
Yea this is DEFINITELY it. Every Iracing stream or race is just him calling himself a helmet for 90 mins or so and being down on himself for dropping a tire off. It's just not fun content tbh. THIS is fun content. The Shutoku Revival stuff is fun content. Serious racing is honestly just bad for Jimmy and I know he wants to love it, but it just really cripples his mood if it goes even the slightest bit wrong.
@@trautsj racing in a more serious manner (especially endurance since it’s a team sport) is just like that though, constantly trying to avoid mistakes because it ruins a long race for multiple people. I think as we have seen with the f1 content for example Jimmy wouldn’t be doing it if he wasn’t interested in it. Those sort of races are all about the emotion at the end and the big moments that make it worth it.
I think the Touge content is great because it's just the most exciting part of racing, a battle for an overtake, and it goes back and forth the whole time. Seriously though I was on the edge of my seat watching this, keep up the good work Jimmy
Jimmy has always been at his best when he isn't doing super serious races tbh. The Gran turismo box boy runs, the beamng stuff, the Nurburgring laps, Shutoku Revival highway runs and now these touges. Super serious racing just kills his mood and thus drags down the content quality.
Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but I feel the sort of 1on1 and bumper-to-bumper nature of these Touge races is what makes them more accessible/popular? The intensity is so in-your-face while coupled with an easy to follow format? Idk, but either way I'm loving these Touge videos. So fun to watch.
Touge racing is my favourite, seeing people discover touge is so good. The racing itself in terms of how close you are to opponents and the options you have are the best
never heard of this road before your last video about it. after watching your video, i memorised the layout, installed the mod, and have now been driving so many different cars around it, whilst having the time of my life. you’re a legend jimmer.
Pretty sure someone has said it by now, but warming up the tires is indeed a thing on this mod. Its necessary to do a couple laps to bring tires up to temp before making speed runs.
It is just such a brilliant, relatable, raw racing format. Haven't watched the channel on ages Jimmy but touge has brought me right back! Love all the old Best Motorong touge footage - look it up for anyone who is not familiar. :)
Togue discord going from 10k to 100k reminds me of the scene from "Dark Knight". Where Bruce Wayne says: "No, you dont understand. One fund raises with my pals... and you dont have to worry about money ever again". Jimmy Broadbent said: "One mildly meme filled video with my community...and you dont have to worry about players ever again"
One thing I LOVE about this is that it truly makes you respect even a 400+ hp car. Too often in games 400hp feels like absolutely nothing, but on here you get a 600hp monster like that Supra and boy oh boy !!! lol
I think Jimmers touge series is going to rival his Nordschliefe series 🤞😬 we can all agree Jimmer can do no wrong. loved the Richard Burns Rally stream too 🙂👌
Absolutely loving this touge content Jimmy, your bringing content to people like me who would love to own a SIM rig but can't afford it! I spent a day in ICU last week and these videos helped me pull through. Hopefully soon I can afford a SIM rig and do this, I can only hope. Thanks though Jimmy your a beast ❤️
It's so cool to realize that the thing we did as teenagers, at night on small town streets with traffic, is now a legit sport. Though we didn't do two runs or anything, just whoever was leading had to be so far in front that they could hide, wait for the second car to pass, then come up behind them. And there was no set circuit - the leader chose the path. So aside from the fact that what we did is completely different, it's still cool.
On this kind of races... I would really love to see the view from the car chasing Jimmy. Just because it's obvious how you are pushing the limits, Skidding here and there, Especially on this round with the Supra.
should give the spirit MR-S a try! bit tricky under braking but its so much fun! such a light car with great cornering. (plus its the car that DK in his 86 had no chance against)
I don’t know much about sim racing since I’m new but I’ve noticed the more hectic your movements the slow you get also in relation to your stress so I recommend trying to keep calm and driving smoothly
The recent content has been amazing Jimmy - I'll watch any videos you put up but the old style ones of you just enjoying yourself sim racing are always the best!
Sick community and server, these videos are fun af to watch. No wonder the views are so high. You look like you're having a blast and it's kinda chill but also competitive. Checks all the boxes for a great video!
The fact that the Togue Union discord has increased tenfold should speak to the immense reach you have. I am one of those people and have wanted to pull out my t300rs to play but college has been kicking my ass so i haven't had the time nor energy to play😢
Yep touge is such a cool thing to watch ! i think touge racing is really unique because it is completely stuck in a time period. All the cars used are 90s cars and the roads have a unique vibe to it ! and the nature of the track makes it unforgiving and challenging.
RidOx is the tuning shop owned by Max Orido, co-host of BM Hot Version Touge Battles, so it's quite fitting for this! You should try the RE-Amemiya baby blue FD RX7, it's one of the fastest cars to have ever gone on the touge.
JIMMY! PLEASE GET KAIDO MAPS BATTLE TOUR! there is an elo system with actual races between players by flashing lights and turning on hazards to accept. There is also a leaderboard and about 15 touge maps from initial d. They are amazing. theres also a leaderboard for overall times and individual car times. It does have limited cars but they are all jdm classics. There is a discord with a bunch of teams on it. People were also hosting battle tournaments and everything. It had so much potential and all it needs is some exposure.I really hope you see this and consider checking it out.

Agreed. It's good to see him doing something he enjoys that gets the support and views he would hope it would get.
If I could give him any advice it would be to do just that, make videos that you enjoy 👍

Speaking for myself I just hate circuit racing.
I like to imagine this is what goes through Jimmy's head as he takes his Supra to the local Tesco.
Eurobeat in't background 🤣
"MY GOD that Ford Transit has SO MUCH GRIP!"
Jimmer is the only one that can make me immediately go try whichever game the video is about
Yea so much so that you can now not get in touge life #5 server as its now always full. Thanks Jimmy
@@Thepars84 suffering from success lmao
I *finally* grabbed AC today at 90% off on Steam, should be interesting :D

You gotta keep doing these touge videos man, they are pretty entertaining 😊

@@trautsj True
Every since the first Gunsai Touge video Jimmy has made, I am also obsessed with Gunsai and Hot-version. Thanks Jimmy!
Jimmy: Shows how the S2000 has more power, less weight and more agressive aero.
Also Jimmy: How is that S2000 so quick?
Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but I feel the sort of 1on1 and bumper-to-bumper nature of these Touge races is what makes them more accessible/popular? The intensity is so in-your-face while coupled with an easy to follow format? Idk, but either way I'm loving these Touge videos. So fun to watch.
Watching you hustle that Supra through the course is pretty damn fun. Hope to see more!
Try a low powered FWD next against faster cars.

The joy on Jimmy's face at 18:30 is why I'm here. Well driven.

which track is this?!
@@kevinmcmahon5882 Gunsai Touge
watch a couple hot version videos. you'd get it why it's a famous touge track
15:02 i such a nice shot! This server has been the most fun i've had in assetto corsa for a while! Thanks jimmer
PLEASE, make this a series
Pretty sure someone has said it by now, but warming up the tires is indeed a thing on this mod. Its necessary to do a couple laps to bring tires up to temp before making speed runs.
i like how every situation can have a matching initial d clip
0 chance that S2k was tuned accurately
It is just such a brilliant, relatable, raw racing format. Haven't watched the channel on ages Jimmy but touge has brought me right back!
Love all the old Best Motorong touge footage - look it up for anyone who is not familiar. :)
10:05 "contact, I think that means I win that" lesson learned, being involved in a crash is considered a W, thank you for this philosophy
Good to see you enjoying yourself Jimmer. Love the Touge and how you can race a BRZ vs a Supra and it be neck and neck. More of this please Jimmy.
Those upshifts feel SUUPER satisfying to watch
7:00 Jimmy is driving for his LIFE from that s2k goddamn
I like these touge videos. Properly happy that you've found something new that, not only you enjoy doing, but people enjoy watching too.
Loving these videos Jimmer! Would love to see some of your AE86 as main channel content!
More Touge Please! 😎
The Hi-NRG music is what makes this sooo nostalgic and cool! 💯💯🔥🔥
That S2000 driver was SICK with it, he was definitely pushing that thing, what a good battle!
Togue content is lit, driving with you all and trying all the cars has been awesome
I loved these type of races in Grid, the intensity was over the top!

@@Jimmy_Broadbent thanks Jimmy on the mend mate, back at work and feeling better 😊 made my day this 💙
Just 3 days ago I came back to AC and all I've been doing is just slowly driving touges and Japanses mountain routes with banging 80' music
Gunsai is one of my favorite touge courses to drive with my buddies. It’s perfect for just running laps over and over without having to reset
Love the MotorStorm Apocalypse soundtrack in the first battle, big ups on the editor adding that gem.
It's so cool to realize that the thing we did as teenagers, at night on small town streets with traffic, is now a legit sport.

happy to see the community getting some well deserved love
defenitly more touge content
i didnt know that jimmy racing the touge while sonic adventure music is playing was all i needed
On a couple of corners, when you hooked up a Scandi-flick - it looked epic.
i love this type of content. super childhood initial d nostalgia , love it .
Jimmy doesn't know we are all closeted car weebs. Just disappointment after disappointment..sigh..

These touge battles have become my new favorite thing to watch on your channel. Very entertaining and funny with your awesome editing.
Togue battles are fun as they are short and very intense. As before, keep it up, it's a lot of fun and works well as a viewing experience.
I'd love to see the Tommi Mäkinen moment here where he turned up to meet the Drift King in Touge while driving his WRC Impreza.
I don’t know much about sim racing since I’m new but I’ve noticed the more hectic your movements the slow you get also in relation to your stress so I recommend trying to keep calm and driving smoothly
Yeah ever since your video the servers have been so much more populated. Glad to have so many new people to race against.
The recent content has been amazing Jimmy - I'll watch any videos you put up but the old style ones of you just enjoying yourself sim racing are always the best!
Dude, touge racing is the best thing ever!!!! How am I only now learning about this!?!
Been hooked on Touge Union since your other video came out. This in VR is a crazy fun experience 👌
also that brz driver is a true touge racer, always racing at the edge
This kind of video is soooo tense, love it!
“Who says sim racing isn’t dangerous?”
Jimmy “punched self in plums” Broadbent
These Touge videos are so good. Keep it up King. The rewatchability of touge races is insane.
Your previous touge video got me looking at buying a wheel and AC and getting back into sim racing.
My favorite thing to do in AC! Sick that your showcasing it, please do more!!
I love the editing with hints of hot version and bits of initial d
You have gotten me addicted to Touge Life #5😂😂. I spent the whole Easter weekend playing
This is amazing content. The famous touge track, amazing cars and of course the music! Please continue uploading your races on the touge!
TAKUMI: blind attack
Jimmy: dust attack
Oh my word. the old gt2 music increasing by the end of the race. Great edit !
yes please more touge content!! im honestly happy to see the touge getting some love in the youtube world, well deserved😌
That Amuse S2000 even irl is a wild beast. Good at acceleration and a bullet on straight. Even the HKS CT9A bit the dust
Sick community and server, these videos are fun af to watch. No wonder the views are so high. You look like you're having a blast and it's kinda chill but also competitive. Checks all the boxes for a great video!
Every time he took that fast blind left hander before or after the bridge I was holding in my sphincter
that game over sound reminds me so much of the SEGA RALLY one... That one was traumatic
The fact that the Togue Union discord has increased tenfold should speak to the immense reach you have. I am one of those people and have wanted to pull out my t300rs to play but college has been kicking my ass so i haven't had the time nor energy to play😢
Touge content, Initial D background music - best way to end a Monday night. Thank you.
I wanna see a part 3 with a rx7 or e30 that would be sick!
Your Touge content is A+ Jimmy - keep it coming! Cheers to the great videos!
Yep touge is such a cool thing to watch ! i think touge racing is really unique because it is completely stuck in a time period. All the cars used are 90s cars and the roads have a unique vibe to it ! and the nature of the track makes it unforgiving and challenging.
The more you love making the content, the more we love the content, your love for this style of racing shows :D
We need more Hot Version camera cuts! This is the best most fun content I've seen in a while.
300KG lighter that car has it for sure bro. Heavy car, tight track.
Huh, I thought all these Touge servers were full of people trying to drift, Touge Battles sound right up my alley.
Touge teaches you that as long as there are enough corners, handling will beat power.
well this was entertaining... i miss these shorter racing social comps jimbo makes.
Love that the song ended just as the race finished
Next togue battle idea:
AWD battles. Celicas, WRXs, Evos, you got AWD, you're in.
what an awesome video Jimmy! please make it a regular series on your channel!
RidOx is the tuning shop owned by Max Orido, co-host of BM Hot Version Touge Battles, so it's quite fitting for this! You should try the RE-Amemiya baby blue FD RX7, it's one of the fastest cars to have ever gone on the touge.
Absolutely love this! I want a whole series of this. When is the next one? lol
How most sim racers just play GT races over and over all day is like just listening to one type of music for all your life.

Thank Jimmy, i drive at this Server for a long time and most of the time I´m alone or with maybe 2 or 3 other guys now it´s a bit different :D
I saw the J’s RACING HONDA S2000 in the background and thought "oh no Jimmer is gonna get real soon!!!"
Am I the only one who noticed the Motorstorm Apocalypse OST in the background at 2:33 ? That gave me some good nostalgia racing with that soundtrack
The integra on this track is so much fun , try it out
Can't get enough of these videos. Thank you Jimmer!
I've been really enjoying their kado battle tour servers. A bunch of cars and touges with a leader board.
Hot Version touge was my jam back in the day.
So glad you showed us all this discord/server combo, will definitely have to try my hand at it.
16:17 the song for this is All Around - Lia
THANK U
Love the touge content. 100% going to get in on this action.
Gotta respect the perfectly timed Alt+F4 @13:44 😂
Next, Jimmy should try using the Impreza on the touge, so he completes his garage collection in AC
