@@dragonlord3504 how does that work? You can just come with your car and they let you drive the track? Or is there some prep work you have to do to get allowance? I've never been to a real racetrack, let alone drive anything quicker than Daewoo Nexia
@@gamanzhiydanil Most days, they have something called "touristenfahrten" where anyone with a road legal, registered car can drive. You drive up, pay 30 euro for a lap. You need to follow certain rules, since essentially it's a toll road legally speaking. I've been there last summer and did my first laps, very awesome experience.
*Deja vu I've just been in this place before Higher on the street And I know it's my time to go Calling you and the search is mystery Standing on my feet It's so hard when I try to be me uoooh!*
Jimmy that video was a masterpiece. You were at ease, and looked to be exactly where you should be, doing what you should be doing. it was well-shot. It was interesting, even to the most casual racing, gaming or automotive fan. It told a story, and that story was more than the sum of its parts - it wasn't just the story of the day a simulator driver got a golden ticket, it was the story of a boy, who grew up to be a man in a shed, showing the world what he loves, and growing up all over again. It was natural, and yet made no attempt to deceive the viewer exactly how contrived it was. It was effortless, and yet the years of work that led to its creation shone through as a glorious back-light. Well done, in sincerest terms well done.
Took the apex m3 taxi lap there and after that lapped it with a 2018 type-r. Had similar emotions after that. Will be back next year, to see the 24h race and to drive few laps. Great video!
I’ll be honest here Jimbo, it wasn’t just emotional for you, my guy. I was sitting here with a massive grin on my face while watching this. Been here since before 100k subs and to see the journey you’ve gone through and the steady growth of the channel, it’s been a hell of a ride. From doing iRacing in a shed to becoming a GT commentator, buying your dream car, and now actually driving the Nord. Keep up the great work mate, your content has helped people get through crap in their life, myself included.
Same, except bar watching the odd video here and there in the past, i'm a fairly new sub. Christ though, reading an interview or two you did a while back, then seeing you appear places in real life, not just being there but being fucking awesome there, it's a great thing to see. I can relate to a lot of the shit in life, hard, but dam it's good to see a fellow wierdo kicking ass IRL.
Agree 100% Alex. In what reality does BMW just walk up to a sim racer and say, "Hey dude, wanna do a lap round the Green Hell in one of our cars?" I am seriously glad that I'm living in this one! That huge grin, the tears, the extremely positive feedback form Nicky Catsburg, this goes in the Sub-Zero box for me. It's wierd to me that for all my life I've rarely been genuinely happy to see other succeed, saying congratulations mainly because its expected. With Jimmy its different, he's brought me so much happiness that to watch a video like this, where he gets to live out another one of his dreams, makes me so happy for him in turn, and eager to see what's next.
Nicki was amazing. He only spoke when he needed to and that was to be complimentary and to get you to clip apexes a bit more. He can sense your talent and just let it flow.
Its amazing to think of the progress you have made over the years. From a small channel finding your way making entertaining videos, to doing an actual lap around the Nordschliefe. Congratulations my dude, keep up the amazing work.
JImmer getting complimented on his driving by a full on race car driver on a track that he's never been to in real life just brings a smile to my face.
Jimmy mate... to watch this lap was seriously rewarding as a viewer. And to then hear the kind words of the professional driver who sung your praises was so incredible. Congrats man ❤️
When jimmer asks if he has a future doing this and Nikki says yes... it hits different now that he really is a professional driver for Praga. Truly heartwarming.
That part where jimmy cried I felt it in my heart. That's what it's all about isn't it. That raw emotion that can't be contained. Us Motorsport fans we're a sensitive bunch
Dude watching you get that real made me shed a tear with you man, I understand your personal struggles I have had similar experiences and to know you went from those lows to doing this kinda stuff really gives me joy. I'm truly happy for you man.
I must admit I got a little teary towards the end too, it must be so emotional for you man, having driven it in sims so many times. I think I'd cry at the end too, not because it's a dream of mine but I'd probably bin my car on the carousel. Keep on fighting the good fight Jimmer, maybe when my channel is a bit bigger (& my car a bit faster...) We can hotlap!
Its so crazy hearing you say this is a "once in a life time experience" to now you racing their with BMW in the NSL. You deserve everything great in your life, you worked hard and are such a golden person.
Not sure what it´s called, but I heard it´s incredibly detailed , everything is laser scanned and the FFB is miles above everything we had so far, but it´s subsicription based, and you pay by the hours you play.
@jimmo I am from Brazil and I will be driving in Nordschleife for the first time next Oct 26th - and YOU are my INSPIRATION for that. Almost 1 year preparing this trip, and it is awesome to see YOUR first time and reactions to it. I would (will?) probably scream at the Carousel 😃 when I enter it the first time! Cheers mate, happy for you! Happy to watch you!
First of all, I'm from Poland. First time i saw Jimmy on RUclips he got like 25/30k subs. He was just "other" simracer. Than.. the journey came, and now he got 300k Subs. He is driving Nordschleife in real life, with damn pro in fucking BMW.. This guy is just amazing. Propably i made some grammar fails, sorry about that, English is not my native language. Greetings mate!
Jimbo only real men deal with their emotions and are not afraid to challenge them. You are an inspiration to those of us who have "been to places" you have been and continue to fight them. Then go on to be "successful" and put yourself out there. So glad I found your channel, "you the man Jimmer".
That was an absolute treat to watch Jimmy. I have been watching you for years and dude it is so good to see you growing as a person and still staying honest with yourself and us.
I just got emotional on like 14:30. You could tell it was very emotional for u. I will never get the chance to do it. So, thank u very much my friend for giving me that feeling, the emotion the emergene to watch you. It was great. You are the man!!!
I don't usually smile, like true smile. I watched the video, and then at the middle of it, and when Jimmy reviewed his experience, I noticed I was smiling, like truly smiling, and I felt about this the whole video. Jimmer, you actually pulled a true smile out of my face, which I don't remember the last time I did. Keep up the awesome work, man. You're gold.
The way you smiled and enjoyed the whole thing is so strong that even as a viewer you can feel at least a part of it. This is amazing. Cheers man! All the best to you!
I love your camera man so much. You probably won't see this but I know he is more than just a business partner. He is a supportive friend and those end clips after really showed that. The big hug and telling you that you did it is real passion to help you.
Man, I dont know what to say. I found your channel from empty box mentioning your name a long time ago, like pre 5k subs. I've seen your struggles in the past, but watching this video, seeing the joy on your face, along with seeing you cross the 300k subscribers mark recently, I know this youtube journey has brought you to a better place. Here's to 300k more subscribers, you deserve em.
Formidable job for your first real Green Hell drive, looked pretty fast even though there was quite some traffic and safety margin. Pretty sure, with only a few more laps, confidence builds up and lap times go down. Well done, I hope you enjoyed it. Never gonna happen for me, I'm even bad on Gran Turismo.
This was probably the most relaxing lap I’ve ever seen in my life at the Nurb. Everything was nearly perfect and there was just so much chill vibes while still passing people.
Congrats Jimmy. Your videos inspired me to go to the Nordschleife myself. Took the oppotunity in July and completed 3 Laps on my trusted bicycle. Best ride of my life.
Awesome how you managed to stay so casual while actually racing at some decent speed. You seemed really relaxed yet excited. Nicky seems like a chill guy as well.
After almost 1 year of sim racing I still have to manage to pull a fast lap around this track without crashing... in any car in any game. So major props to you Jim, most people who haven´t tried this have no idea about how hard it actually is, simulated or real life.
i love the fact a shed dweller from England has got to do this maybe one day i will be able to afford to take my skyline r33 to germany and give this ago keep up the great work jimmy love the videos and love watching you try something new
Coming from sim and driving on your dream track and getting a thumbs up by a gt driver is absolutely mind blowing. It does make me happy to see you enjoy there jimmy
Congratulations on this Jimmer! You inspire us all to enjoy our little hobby everyday with your passion! You deserve everything you've gotten this far, and you'll get much more!

I remember watching this when it first came out. And what a journey from here. From one emotion drive around the ring, to a full race car driver for Praga who won
Jimmy man. I think alot of people are struggling now with covid and whatnot. This is the exact thing I needed to see. Hopefully we can all find something we love, and enjoy, and can find our own happy place in this world. Thanks for the inspiration my friend :)
Hard to believe i've been around since 10k members and been apart of the crazy ride with you Jimmy. I hope the channel continues to go and that you get more and more opportunity's like this to live your dreams
FUCK YES JIMMER!!!! GO YOU GOOD THING!!!! You crushed it and I think I can speak for all your viewers and say that was spectacular, what a pro straight out of the gate. I can't hit like on this anywhere near enough.
Love how you talk about your feelings, Jimmy. You seem to wear your heart on your sleeve a little bit and that's no bad thing. Just noticed you've gone over 300k subs; you deserve every bit of the success you've achieved so far and the opportunities it is now presenting you. Keep up the good work, Jim.
This video is straight up inspirational. You might not read this or even see it, but you make GREAT content. Thank you for all the work you do. Keep going, and don't get discouraged.
@@lvk104 believe me with the Simracing, you know that track, it shape, but when you enters it for real, nothing can prepare you for what you're about to experience. The track feel way more tight, the elevation is incredible (when you are in the compression of fuchsrohre, it's almost like you have a mountain to climb). But it's definitely a good tool to have an idea of what you're about to face.
This is whats its all about - sim racing let you know what corners were coming up and rough braking areas and passing other traffic as you instructor said - great driving and video
As a Sim-Racing Australian that has also done 100's of laps on the Nordschleife, Online in Assetto Corsa... What an absolute privilege for BOTH you Jimmy, to get to do it for real - but it was also a privilege for me to view it from afar thru your eyes... GREAT VIDEO Mr BROADBENT!!!
Up to the Flugplatz you can tell he was rightfully wary , after that he relaxed a lot as he could tell Jimmy knew what he was doing, even getting him up on the kerbs.
Seriously Jimmy you are such a down to earth kinda guy you are a natural at this driving in real life!!! You are brilliant you Nicky look like you get on like a house on fire!! Love it love it love it!
Driving fast in a sim is one thing. Doing it in real life is completely different. You did fantastic mate! Serious speed there. I would have cried too.
Dude I've watched this guy's vids here and there. Dang, this video made me subscribe so fast. Such a genuine dude, makes me feel like he's a long time friend. Congratulations man.
Jimmy i see alot of myself in you its one of the reasons im such a big supporter of the channel! Your a shining example of why you never give up on your dreams. Absolutely thrilled for you and i hope i get todo something similar myself one day!
I can feel you bro. Just remembered your Red Bull X2010 at 400+kmph the racing line you held, the breaking points etc. Wow... Congrats... Dream come true!
The ending of your lap is one of the reasons (in my opinion) that you're so popular Jimmer. You come off as a real dude because you (as far as I can tell) are a real dude. I can't say that I wouldn't have had the same emotional response. Dream come true. 👍 Nice one Jimmer. If you can make a real world driver feel comfortable, you're doing something right. Thanks for this. A very good watch!
You went from streaming the GT and other games, to getting in iRacing, being a racing commentator for GTS, to actual racing in karts and you were there, in the legendary german race track. Jimmy, you went a long way far. I know you can go further. One dream done, many more to go. I believe in you. Been really worth it subscribing to you in the long run. Keep being you, mate.
There is really nothing comparable to this. Did a lap on the expo weekend as well with my EP3 Civic type R and it was amazing! High speed roller coaster all the way! Glad you hab the chance to experience it for yourself!
q: what game is this a:Jimmy Corsa q:How much is it a:around 99.99pounds q:does jimmy come included or is he DLC? a:you get a sim racing boii with the game
This game has an interesting new tech called AR (actual reality), which sadly is something a lot of gamers struggle with. The potential is huge though.
Yes Jimmy! I can't describe quite how joyous this was to watch. I've followed you for a while and always thought you'd at some point progress on to being the new Murray Walker, commentating for a living due to your incredible talent for talking at a billion miles a minute with real passion for racing.Turns out you might end up being an actual racing driver. Whichever way it goes, big things are sure to happen, and I'm immensely happy you got to experience this and that you shared it with us all in your usual humble way. Big fucking love to you my man. X

“I wasn’t scared I was just like... oh...” 😂😂
I think this was one of the 2 "moments" that they definitely didn't have on track!
@5:43 he's scramblin for that "oh shit" handle hahaha
I remember watching this when it first came out. And what a journey from here. From one emotion drive around the ring, to a full race car driver for Praga who won
BMW+Nurburgring yes I would had cried also congrats Jimmy!!
Jimmy man. I think alot of people are struggling now with covid and whatnot. This is the exact thing I needed to see. Hopefully we can all find something we love, and enjoy, and can find our own happy place in this world. Thanks for the inspiration my friend :)
Hard to believe i've been around since 10k members and been apart of the crazy ride with you Jimmy. I hope the channel continues to go and that you get more and more opportunity's like this to live your dreams
FUCK YES JIMMER!!!! GO YOU GOOD THING!!!! You crushed it and I think I can speak for all your viewers and say that was spectacular, what a pro straight out of the gate. I can't hit like on this anywhere near enough.
Been watching you for a bit Jimmy, watching someone living out one of their dreams is very special.
That admiration from a legit GT3 driver was really awesome to see... and he wasnt bullshitting... holy hell. You nailed that lap.
Love how you talk about your feelings, Jimmy. You seem to wear your heart on your sleeve a little bit and that's no bad thing. Just noticed you've gone over 300k subs; you deserve every bit of the success you've achieved so far and the opportunities it is now presenting you.
Keep up the good work, Jim.
This video is straight up inspirational. You might not read this or even see it, but you make GREAT content. Thank you for all the work you do. Keep going, and don't get discouraged.
the sense of speed when driving the Nordshleife must be incredible
It is, trust me
Having peripheral vision and G forces will do that for you
It's higher than what we are used to in sim racing.
It is no matter what you drive.
@@lvk104 believe me with the Simracing, you know that track, it shape, but when you enters it for real, nothing can prepare you for what you're about to experience. The track feel way more tight, the elevation is incredible (when you are in the compression of fuchsrohre, it's almost like you have a mountain to climb). But it's definitely a good tool to have an idea of what you're about to face.
As somebody that has suffered with their mental health I couldn't be happier for you Jimmy. You're living the dream mate.
Bravo Jimmy, well done!! You're carrying quite a decent pace there, impressive.
This is whats its all about - sim racing let you know what corners were coming up and rough braking areas and passing other traffic as you instructor said - great driving and video
Got me right in the feels when you finished your lap. I’ve been here for a long time and it never gets old. Keep up the good work!
As a Sim-Racing Australian that has also done 100's of laps on the Nordschleife, Online in Assetto Corsa...
What an absolute privilege for BOTH you Jimmy, to get to do it for real - but it was also a privilege for me to view it from afar thru your eyes...
GREAT VIDEO Mr BROADBENT!!!
"I trust you, but I don't think you trusted me". Well, not trusting first timers on the track is his job, basically.
Up to the Flugplatz you can tell he was rightfully wary , after that he relaxed a lot as he could tell Jimmy knew what he was doing, even getting him up on the kerbs.
Seriously Jimmy you are such a down to earth kinda guy you are a natural at this driving in real life!!! You are brilliant you Nicky look like you get on like a house on fire!! Love it love it love it!
This is better than most gifts that could ever be received. What a joy.
Driving fast in a sim is one thing. Doing it in real life is completely different. You did fantastic mate! Serious speed there. I would have cried too.
I got emotional before you got emotional haha; Jimmy it's awesome seeing your dreams come true mate! Cheers!
Good job mate.... Go in the skyline 😍
Watching Nicki visually relax over the course of the lap as he realizes Jimmer can actually drive is awesome hahah
💯
Dude I've watched this guy's vids here and there. Dang, this video made me subscribe so fast. Such a genuine dude, makes me feel like he's a long time friend. Congratulations man.
Yeah! The vids finally out!!
Keep up the good work Jimmy!
Cheers!👑👍🏻🙏🏻
Jimmy i see alot of myself in you its one of the reasons im such a big supporter of the channel! Your a shining example of why you never give up on your dreams. Absolutely thrilled for you and i hope i get todo something similar myself one day!
I felt that, when you broke down I really felt that, living the dream keep it up dude
I can feel you bro. Just remembered your Red Bull X2010 at 400+kmph the racing line you held, the breaking points etc. Wow... Congrats... Dream come true!
“Recovery Truck takes a lap around the Nurburgring”
The ending of your lap is one of the reasons (in my opinion) that you're so popular Jimmer. You come off as a real dude because you (as far as I can tell) are a real dude. I can't say that I wouldn't have had the same emotional response. Dream come true. 👍
Nice one Jimmer. If you can make a real world driver feel comfortable, you're doing something right.
Thanks for this. A very good watch!
You went from streaming the GT and other games, to getting in iRacing, being a racing commentator for GTS, to actual racing in karts and you were there, in the legendary german race track.
Jimmy, you went a long way far. I know you can go further. One dream done, many more to go. I believe in you.
Been really worth it subscribing to you in the long run. Keep being you, mate.
There is really nothing comparable to this. Did a lap on the expo weekend as well with my EP3 Civic type R and it was amazing! High speed roller coaster all the way! Glad you hab the chance to experience it for yourself!
What game is this? How much is it? Does Jimmy come included, or is he a DLC?
q: what game is this
a:Jimmy Corsa
q:How much is it
a:around 99.99pounds
q:does jimmy come included or is he DLC?
a:you get a sim racing boii with the game
The game is RUclips tycoon and the mod is ShedBoii.
This game has an interesting new tech called AR (actual reality), which sadly is something a lot of gamers struggle with. The potential is huge though.
@@guardrailhitter Jimmy Corsa 😂👌epic
Bjornar Simonsen HAHA
Im so happy for u man... if there is someone who deserves to be at the ring behind a wheel it's you boi... i wish you the best of luck for the future
That was truly amazing!! awesome to how far you've come, you're hugely inspirational. thank you all the amazing content:-)
Good for you Jimmer. Proud of how far you've come. Keep up the good work and keep living your dreams.
You seem way more confident in actual cars than in your earlier endeavors, way to go jimmer!
Yes Jimmy! I can't describe quite how joyous this was to watch. I've followed you for a while and always thought you'd at some point progress on to being the new Murray Walker, commentating for a living due to your incredible talent for talking at a billion miles a minute with real passion for racing.Turns out you might end up being an actual racing driver. Whichever way it goes, big things are sure to happen, and I'm immensely happy you got to experience this and that you shared it with us all in your usual humble way. Big fucking love to you my man. X
Great job Jimmy, going from a humble shed driving the Nordschleife virtually, to driving on it in real life.
Proud of you dude. Awesome video. Seriously enjoyed it! Thanks for being real about it. You’ve put in your time and it’s shown.
