At he same time, it's nowhere near as bad as aarava and his modded career modes. "OMG SIDE BY SIDE" ROUND THE OUTSIDE!! OMG VESTAPPEN!!" Every episode is the same xD
As someone that dedicated his final years of simracing (more or less) to learning THE most challenging circuit out there, it's an honour to be mentioned & referenced in this video! For anyone that wants to learn Targa, know that it takes about 60 completed laps to know where you're going (I believe Vic Elford said that, and it was almost exact for me), but I promise the reward of knowing where you are and what's coming up is SO worth it. Thanks again, Jimmer, I love you :).
love the targa florio circuit .. used to drive on this circuit all the time on rfactor mainly with historix cars (did a lot of skins for them under the name kntach) ... but had an accident at work where i injured my back and can no longer sit/drive for more than about 10 minutes at a time so sold my sim rig :( .... now i just live vicariously through vids like yours and jimmys
@@sauloaugustomartino803 Its a vision loss thing. I cant safely race other people anymore, so I give myself little solo challenges until my G25 dies. Cheers for the kind words :).
@@Bacho_Grande Damn dude. I got to watch the video you put about seeying tru your eyes. that fact makes it all the more impressive the control you have. fucking beast
Drivers would get in their practise very early in the morning to minimize traffic. Many people at that time still used horses and wagons for their daily activities; it'd be one hell of a sight for a 908/03 or Alfa 33 to whip past you on those treacherous roads.
At the time, farmers and workers could not give a da** f*** about races: no daily work, no food. And as Casscroute says, there were different and harder times in southern Italy.
One name that should be remembered with regards to the Targa Florio - Vic Elford. This guy was a Targa specialist, and apparently he was blessed with a photographic memory. One time, when he had to drive a distinctly underpowered and outdated Porsche, he was as much as an hour behind the leaders when it came to his driving stint, and he used all that knowledge of the circuit to such a devastating effect that he actually ended up winning the thing. To commemorate their race wins, Porsche would usually issue special edition posters featuring a picture of the winning car of a race, but that time the poster didn't feature the car. Instead it consisted of Elford and a few Porsche mechanics just after completing the race, grinning from ear to ear. The reason given by Porsche why they featured Vic instead of the car was that it wasn't so much the car that won the race, but rather the driver.
Walter, that Lancia has a roll cage made of paper towel tubes! What if you crash?? "Uh, I plan on not doing that." Didn't do that. Because Walter Röhrl.
Jimmer, you should do the Grande Circuit. That configuration is 144.8 kilometers long. Probably lucky if you can get around in under 100 minutes-2 hours. Another thing you should do, is do an 1886 Mercedes-Benz Patent Motor Wagen around the Norschleife in GT4. Oh yeah, love your stuff. You are the reason I am saving up to be a sim racer. Just watching you fly around the Nurburgring in a multitude of different vehicles, in a multitude of different respective categories of car, was so inspiring. You make great content, and deserve the 200,000 subscribers. Keep on going, Jimmer BoJack Horsemack BoBimmer.
Mate watching this now and hearing you talk about your plans and how you would like to get into real life racing it’s mental. Been watching u for years and can remember saying “imagine he became a proper racing driver through this.” And look at ye now Well fuckin done mate living the dream!
you're such a humble guy jimmer! thank you for your kindness! may i suggest a channel? It's called Alberto Naska, he's an Italian guy and last year he attempted a motorcycle championship and he filmed his experience! he's put English (so everybody ca follow) subtitles on his videos but he has a very different approach to racing, but if you want to see someone who tried such a thing here is an example! Cheers from Italy, we hope we can see you soon!
It's mad watching this video again in 2021, hearing Jimmy talking about how "crazy" it is that he's up to 200k subs, and mentioning that he wants to do some 'real world' racing. Now he's at nearly 700k subs and has just had his first 'proper' race in the Britcar Championship. What a crazy 2 years it's been for Jimmer!
So happy for you man, been going back through a bunch of your older vids, some I've already watched, some I havent. But to see how far you have come, not just in the growth of your channel but your personal growth. Obviously to an extent they go hand in hand, but seeing this as 200k sub celebration, only a year ago, and now being over 350k on your way to 400k, it's amazing. You deserve every bit of it man. I've been subscribed for a few years now and seeing the dedication you've put in over those years is astounding. You've helped not just myself but so many others with their own mental health by being so open about your own battles. I'm certainly still in struggle town, but having this channel to come to and being able to converse with the amazing community you've built definitely gets me through some rough times. Thank you, for everything you do. Regards, Loyal Shed Basement Dweller
Watching this in 2022 and hearing Jimmy planning to get into real racing is so crazy. Imagine how mind blown he would have been to know he'd be driving a Praga professionally in the not so distant future 😁
What I love about "The Broadbent" is how his intro's vary each time. My favourite so far "Hi Guys, very sweaty because I live in a shed with no real air con boy here" :)
I'm actually really a fan of the more casual and laid back feel of this video. It feels more like a chilled out road trip with a good friend rather than a racing video. You are a magnificent driver and it's always thrilling to watch your more intense content, but I think the reason we stick around for you is because you have a very good balance between inspiring driving skills and a genuine and inviting personality. You have very openly and honestly showed us your personal growth, and I think that has made sim racing feel more accessible and like it's something worth getting into. You may not see this, but if you do, I just want to say thank you, and that I look forward to the future of your channel! Keep up the good work!
Rolling back to this video 2 years down the road it is great to see how many of your dreams came to become reality, and also that no one has had to tell you "F*** Off you shallow TH-camr". Kept it real, and and keep it spinning in circles whilst laughing.
@@oblied For sections like the earlier portion of this track, the Redbull X2011 is infinitely better because it is a lot of very tight corners where non-speed-dependent downforce is very useful; however, for later parts where it has more wide curve sections, the Tomahawk would be better due to its top speed which also comes with the bonus of downforce.
16:00 Listing to this video now, after watching Jimmy build a Lego car for 2 hours for his 726k subs makes me love this guy even more, so humble and he has never let his massive audience change how he is. I'm so glad your doing well man, keep up the amazing videos
21:05 (ish) If you end up doing this, it would be absolutely bonkers cool if you could set up a camera and treat it like a normal live stream (even if it's only a recording) where you talk to the viewers/the camera as you go around, explain what you're doing, how you feel, why the pleb behind crashed into you, etc. I understand this would be difficult/impossible at first, but maybe after a while once you get comfortable in the seat. It would be an insight we don't really have in the racing world outside of sims.
Late to the vid but I hope you see this. Ayrton senna said something along the lines of “go karts are the purest form of racing”, although cars would be fun you get more a bang for your buck racing karts. You get wheel to wheel with other drivers and although it is perceived as basic they allow you to fully comprehend set up/race mechanics and physics. I’ve been racing karts for 10 years now and I can say it has given me some of my greatest memories and friends and I would love to see you create a series showing your Journey.
Jimmy. I’ve heard from May different sources that you are the biggest sim racer on TH-cam. That sort of news gets out. You have worked yourself up to be a star amongst the YT-nation. Well done brother! You will exceed your wildest dreams before you even know it
And that version of the track was at least 1000 times better than this one! As I'm sure Jimmy is aware. This along with the Transfagarasan Hillclimb were my most raced tracks with my beloved crazy BMW Tii.
We watch because you're you, Jimmy. Don't ever change the gut feeling decisions. You got a decent moral center, and are good at bein free with info on your experience with gaining 200k subscribers, and the issues that can come with it. On the right track mate. This is a good channel. Keep up the good work and thanks again 👍🏻
I used to be subscribed to FailRace for my gaming motoring content, was never a huge follower of sim racing, he happened to mention you in one of his videos so i checked you out and i fell in love with your personality and sense of humour. Keep up the good work my man you are one of a kind.
Jimmy, the reason why your channel struck a cord in me is the place where you come from. No, not physically, I mean mentally. Mental issues are somewhat frowned upon in my family. Growing up, if you had something wrong in your head, it was all just in your head, just make the bad demons go away and you'll be fine. Obviously, it doesn't work that way, and I learned it first-hand, I didn't have any really bad mental issues, but I can relate to you. Obviously, Jimmy doesn't show all the stuff in his life, but the things he has talked about having anxiety in public and depression have been fairly relatable, and i have went through the same things, albeit, at a less severe way. I love his passion for motorsport, and the genuinity he has in his videos, there are no fake personas, no fake emotions, no fake feelings. He's just a regular lad living in his moms shed sharing his passion of motorsport and actually succeeding at it, because guess what, he has a great personality. I found his channel at around 10k subs, I remember all the GT1-5 streams he did, I remember him hitting first 1000 livestream viewers on one of his GT videos and him going absolutely bonkers. I remember that and it inspires me that there are people who can get up from the very bottom and make a name of themselves in this world. I don't believe in miracles, but this certainly gets close to it.
So, here's a weird little story - I work for a company that sells IBCs (Containers), and we primarily sell Schutz IBCs. The founder of Schutz was a guy called Udo Schutz, who was a Porsche factory racing driver back in the 50s/60s, and he actually won this race in 1969 :)
And I would drive fourty five miles and ahhh EYE would drive fourty five more just to be the man to drive fourty five miles to drive the track some more
Don’t change a thing, Jimmy! Keep doing what you’re doing - It’s why I follow you in the first place. I’d rather watch and listen you on a Sunday drive for 40 minutes than watch most F1 races (and I’m a huge F1fan!).
Jimmer, I like you because you are just likeable, I feel that is why everyone in the community is a nice person to you... It's because YOU are a nice person!
Congrats on the sub count, epic! I'm sat here listening to your emotions that you experienced as the channel has grown, fixating on the analytics and absolutely realising I've been doing the same with my own channel. Its not a sim channel, its us in our 4x4s camping and off-roading. We just got over 2000 subs yesterday and it is such an exciting time even if it does pail in comparison to where you are. Keep it up Jimmy, its a really enjoyable channel and one I come back to every single time.
This is the best 40 minutes you've done jimmy, your goals and insights with your "fame" etc. Helped me understand. Best of luck for the future. Keep up the amazing content. 👍
watching this video has the same terrifying vibe as sitting in the car with that mate who drives like an absolute maniac while chatting naturally to you at the same time.
I have watched this video more times than I can remember. Perfect when I feel a but down and need some Jimmer to cheers me up! Thanks Jimmer for all your efforts!
The number one reason I watch your content is because you're one of very few TH-camr's out there who are doing their best to avoid hypocrisy as much as possible. As long as you'll be doing that, I'll be watching your content :D
Jimmy this Was an Outstanding video. Really shows what kind of a person you are and it's absolutely amazing, we need more like you! Very proud of you man.❤️
Jimmy, have you seen the 1986 F1 cars for RF2? Literally the most powerful cars ever made. And they took them around Detroit, Monaco, Paul Ricard.... so so many places
Not sure about anyone else, but I would love for Jimmy to do more of these "real talk" videos on this track. A nice relaxed session on this track with different cars.
oh wow it's an honor that you chose this track for your 200k subs video. If only I found out sooner, I would've sent you the latest test build with all the trees and 3D cerda -___- anyway, congratz Jimmer! always knew you were gonna go big!
This is the sim version of an afternoon blast at the weekend :) love it, love your thoughts and plans mate! I am watching this a year after it went up.. really cool to see the progression
Jimmer you realise that now you have the double of what you had doing this video ? Really I'm so happy to see you grow like that! I just can't wait to see the million on your channel as I'm pretty sure it is going to happen. Wouldn't be amazing to see the Jimmer in an F3 ? Anyway I wish the best for you and your channel !
Id say people relate to you, and i enjoy watching because you treat races seriously, you are also good when interacting with other youtubers/streamers, id imagine alot of people like me have enjoyed watching your channel grow over the last few years especially, keep up the good work, quater of a MILLION next
Cool that someone is making this track for AC. I did a video of driving this in GT Legends about 5 years ago. I almost completed a lap but the last straight didn't have a barricade at where I was supposed to turn off and just looked like it kept going straight so I hit an invisible wall and totaled my Ferrari 365. The best thing about the circuit is the scenery though so without that it's not so great.
LA Canyons is my Targa Florio, I spend a lot of time driving mostly street cars. The Porsche family is my favorite, with the RSR '74 and the GT3 RS being my favorite.
i'd just like to point out the fact that you mentioned transitioning from sim racing to racing cars for real and filming it, just figured i'd say that i been thinking about it for a while as well jimmer, keep being awesome. don't let your dreams be dreams, JUST DO IT!!
Hey Jimmer! Been here since fake 30k, and just wanted to let you know that you are my favorite British shed man on TH-cam! Congrats on 200k, you definitely deserve it! Love you long time, and I wish you all the best!
Great video as usual Jimmy, probably the most humble youtuber out there. I used to be an xbox sim racer but you honestly have re-ignited my passion for sim racing and I bought my self a pc and some pricey pedals.. but totally worth it. Anyway, I know a few people who do track days at Sebring, if you ever want to come join us please let me know! Congrats on your success and I wish you the very best🍻
Great content as always and it's your mixture of serious trys at a lap and your being laid-back sense of feel towards it all that I think makes it amazing. And besides what you called mediocre driving in this is still leveled up quite a bit from having to do commentary on top of it lmao Keep it up man great work!!
If there is a day i wake up and there’s not a Jimmy Broadbent video i know its gonna be a bad day. I don’t have many friends and watching your videos and streams and interacting with chato fills that gap and it makes things better. Keep doing what your doing jimmy you deserve all the good coming your way.
I really like this video a lot :) you just talking about anything that comes to mind... like a ride-along in the country side. Really chill and mellow (apart of the 8000 rpm!) :)
When u were talking about people wanting to watch u drive. I subbed to u for the same reason as I subbed to supergt, the banter. That's the entertaining part.
Fantastic video! And this "ramble" Is great! It's fantastic to hear about your future plans, your thoughts about your subscribers and your channel growing. Keep up the great content!
So much details in this game, even the "6" on the tachometer is represented like the real one not perfectly aligned because of the turning signal lights
This was so awesome to see, I can remember playing 80s games that were supposed to be this car, and now it's like, wow, look at what we're doing with simulators you can have in your home.
Epic video. Jimmer targa florio ramble would be a great series! Really loving seeing the channel grow and you grow yourself. Looking forward to the future of the channel and seeing what 2019 brings for you!
Hey jimmer, if you want to enter the Citroen C1 race for 24 hours of spa. Then give me a shout. Could do a full virtual team with some other sim racers.
you should ask Georg Ortner for a better version of the targa florio. I saw him streaming while he drove the targa with much more trackside objects, afaik it was rf2 and a version where he was part of the mod-team.
That version is a conversion of the original GT Legends version, and is optimised for computers of that era, ie. most of the landscape is a skybox jpeg. The track itself is just a ribbon of polygons with big holes in the ground, and the trackside objects are low-res 2D sprites. This version looks like it'll have the full scope of the track as a 3D model, and that is something I have dreamed of for years. I look forward to the final product.
@@captainunderpants200 I still much prefer the rF2 version. Not only because you are supposed to have your vision blocked by the trees, but also because rF2's handling makes more sense. This version doesn't look like something deserving a public video. Not yet, at least.
@Rylee LFC How exactly are you expecting me to react to that? Would have been better if you kept that "opinion" to yourself if you are not going to elaborate.

Fun Fact! The roads were still open to the public during practice and qualifying for the Targa Florio. So imagine this with traffic.

We watch because you're you, Jimmy. Don't ever change the gut feeling decisions. You got a decent moral center, and are good at bein free with info on your experience with gaining 200k subscribers, and the issues that can come with it. On the right track mate. This is a good channel. Keep up the good work and thanks again 👍🏻
I used to be subscribed to FailRace for my gaming motoring content, was never a huge follower of sim racing, he happened to mention you in one of his videos so i checked you out and i fell in love with your personality and sense of humour. Keep up the good work my man you are one of a kind.
I think it's your enthusiasm for racing which brings people to your channel as well as your down to earth personality.
Jimmy, the reason why your channel struck a cord in me is the place where you come from. No, not physically, I mean mentally.
Mental issues are somewhat frowned upon in my family. Growing up, if you had something wrong in your head, it was all just in your head, just make the bad demons go away and you'll be fine.
Obviously, it doesn't work that way, and I learned it first-hand, I didn't have any really bad mental issues, but I can relate to you. Obviously, Jimmy doesn't show all the stuff in his life, but the things he has talked about having anxiety in public and depression have been fairly relatable, and i have went through the same things, albeit, at a less severe way.
I love his passion for motorsport, and the genuinity he has in his videos, there are no fake personas, no fake emotions, no fake feelings. He's just a regular lad living in his moms shed sharing his passion of motorsport and actually succeeding at it, because guess what, he has a great personality.
I found his channel at around 10k subs, I remember all the GT1-5 streams he did, I remember him hitting first 1000 livestream viewers on one of his GT videos and him going absolutely bonkers. I remember that and it inspires me that there are people who can get up from the very bottom and make a name of themselves in this world. I don't believe in miracles, but this certainly gets close to it.
So, here's a weird little story - I work for a company that sells IBCs (Containers), and we primarily sell Schutz IBCs. The founder of Schutz was a guy called Udo Schutz, who was a Porsche factory racing driver back in the 50s/60s, and he actually won this race in 1969 :)
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd drive fourty five miles
If I could just see you tonight
That is so beautiful
And I would drive fourty five miles
and ahhh EYE would drive fourty five more
just to be the man to drive fourty five miles
to drive the track some more
@@poposterous236 drive ninety miles*
It's so nice to hear you ramble about real life racing at around 20 mins and knowing you have that stuff with praga going on right now :)
I love that less than a year later, from 207k to 352k subs. I don't even know how I found your channel, but I'm glad I did
Don’t change a thing, Jimmy! Keep doing what you’re doing - It’s why I follow you in the first place. I’d rather watch and listen you on a Sunday drive for 40 minutes than watch most F1 races (and I’m a huge F1fan!).
Thicc brit makes a thicc video to celebrate his thicc subscriber count
Thanks Jimmy, was great to just chill out and listen to you unburden yourself and open up. You're a likeable guy, good lad.
Jimmer, I like you because you are just likeable, I feel that is why everyone in the community is a nice person to you... It's because YOU are a nice person!
To 21:00 Jimmy: Congratulations on now being a Praga Cup champion
Congrats on the sub count, epic! I'm sat here listening to your emotions that you experienced as the channel has grown, fixating on the analytics and absolutely realising I've been doing the same with my own channel. Its not a sim channel, its us in our 4x4s camping and off-roading. We just got over 2000 subs yesterday and it is such an exciting time even if it does pail in comparison to where you are. Keep it up Jimmy, its a really enjoyable channel and one I come back to every single time.
This is the best 40 minutes you've done jimmy, your goals and insights with your "fame" etc. Helped me understand. Best of luck for the future. Keep up the amazing content. 👍
watching this video has the same terrifying vibe as sitting in the car with that mate who drives like an absolute maniac while chatting naturally to you at the same time.
I don't think anyone else could make me watch an unknown track with a boring landscape in the background, love your style of videos!
Watching this in April 2020 and loving that the motorsport plans came together in a BIG way. So proud of you Jimmer, onwards and upwards!!
I have watched this video more times than I can remember. Perfect when I feel a but down and need some Jimmer to cheers me up! Thanks Jimmer for all your efforts!
The number one reason I watch your content is because you're one of very few TH-camr's out there who are doing their best to avoid hypocrisy as much as possible. As long as you'll be doing that, I'll be watching your content :D
@21:50 "Transported into that... wall. Also this world." nice recovery jimmer, been here since the SROL F1 days, here's to a few more years yet.
Jimmy this Was an Outstanding video. Really shows what kind of a person you are and it's absolutely amazing, we need more like you! Very proud of you man.❤️
Jimmy, have you seen the 1986 F1 cars for RF2?
Literally the most powerful cars ever made. And they took them around Detroit, Monaco, Paul Ricard.... so so many places
Not sure about anyone else, but I would love for Jimmy to do more of these "real talk" videos on this track. A nice relaxed session on this track with different cars.
Bwoah Livestream + Video, I like it.
Here I am, watching your video a little over a year later with 545K subscribers.
You've done well.
Rock on.
oh wow it's an honor that you chose this track for your 200k subs video.
If only I found out sooner, I would've sent you the latest test build with all the trees and 3D cerda -___-
anyway, congratz Jimmer! always knew you were gonna go big!
This is the sim version of an afternoon blast at the weekend :) love it, love your thoughts and plans mate! I am watching this a year after it went up.. really cool to see the progression
I enjoy you content more then others i watch, your a genuine bloke and hope you do get into some real racing I'll definitely watch it
Jimmer you realise that now you have the double of what you had doing this video ? Really I'm so happy to see you grow like that! I just can't wait to see the million on your channel as I'm pretty sure it is going to happen. Wouldn't be amazing to see the Jimmer in an F3 ? Anyway I wish the best for you and your channel !
Id say people relate to you, and i enjoy watching because you treat races seriously, you are also good when interacting with other youtubers/streamers, id imagine alot of people like me have enjoyed watching your channel grow over the last few years especially, keep up the good work, quater of a MILLION next
At 19:11 the British drivers would call that corner "back to Britain in a box"
Jimmy. Your ramblings in this video show how humble you are. Don't change mate - Stay real.
Cool that someone is making this track for AC. I did a video of driving this in GT Legends about 5 years ago. I almost completed a lap but the last straight didn't have a barricade at where I was supposed to turn off and just looked like it kept going straight so I hit an invisible wall and totaled my Ferrari 365. The best thing about the circuit is the scenery though so without that it's not so great.
Why you get so many likes and not so many dislikes? Because you are a humble, nice, funny guy. Relatable to normal people. And entertaining to watch.
LA Canyons is my Targa Florio, I spend a lot of time driving mostly street cars. The Porsche family is my favorite, with the RSR '74 and the GT3 RS being my favorite.
man I agree, all cars love those canyon roads. driving heaven in the porsches. never gets old!
i'd just like to point out the fact that you mentioned transitioning from sim racing to racing cars for real and filming it, just figured i'd say that i been thinking about it for a while as well jimmer, keep being awesome. don't let your dreams be dreams, JUST DO IT!!
Hey Jimmer! Been here since fake 30k, and just wanted to let you know that you are my favorite British shed man on TH-cam! Congrats on 200k, you definitely deserve it! Love you long time, and I wish you all the best!
Listening to the racing driver convo post COVID peak is a crazy feeling
Addicted to this channel the last few days, awesome content and gameplay and quality commentary
Love the video, really relaxing watching you drive around Targa Florio!
Great video as usual Jimmy, probably the most humble youtuber out there. I used to be an xbox sim racer but you honestly have re-ignited my passion for sim racing and I bought my self a pc and some pricey pedals.. but totally worth it. Anyway, I know a few people who do track days at Sebring, if you ever want to come join us please let me know! Congrats on your success and I wish you the very best🍻
wish you’d do these more often, not as live streams, but as videos. driving podcasts.
I really like the casual format Jimmy, it's almost like a podcast with racing sounds
Great content as always and it's your mixture of serious trys at a lap and your being laid-back sense of feel towards it all that I think makes it amazing. And besides what you called mediocre driving in this is still leveled up quite a bit from having to do commentary on top of it lmao Keep it up man great work!!
watching this video today hearing him talk about his 207k subs, he's doubled that now! Amazing and deserved!!!! Top lad!
This dwarves the Nurburgring! I checked out the historic pics just now, I wish this will be added to more racing games for "casual sunday driving"!
If there is a day i wake up and there’s not a Jimmy Broadbent video i know its gonna be a bad day. I don’t have many friends and watching your videos and streams and interacting with chato fills that gap and it makes things better. Keep doing what your doing jimmy you deserve all the good coming your way.
It'd be a cool mini series, or even better if u could get someone to race u around it, battling on the hardest track
I really like this video a lot :) you just talking about anything that comes to mind... like a ride-along in the country side. Really chill and mellow (apart of the 8000 rpm!) :)
aw that monologue was really wholesome. LOVE YOU JIMMER :D
How you talk for a whole video blows my mind, reminds me of the old days, would love more content like this
When u were talking about people wanting to watch u drive. I subbed to u for the same reason as I subbed to supergt, the banter. That's the entertaining part.
MILLE MIGLIA, next challenge
would been 3 days livestream
Fantastic video! And this "ramble" Is great! It's fantastic to hear about your future plans, your thoughts about your subscribers and your channel growing. Keep up the great content!
I knew it had to be the targa florio from the title, I'm glad someone appreciates the beauty and complexity from such a course.
Henlo chat... oh wait
So much details in this game, even the "6" on the tachometer is represented like the real one not perfectly aligned because of the turning signal lights
This was so awesome to see, I can remember playing 80s games that were supposed to be this car, and now it's like, wow, look at what we're doing with simulators you can have in your home.
I'd love to see this a dual commentary, with Jimmy and another driver, two cars on the road, the odd casual overtake, just out for a Sunday drive.
Epic video. Jimmer targa florio ramble would be a great series! Really loving seeing the channel grow and you grow yourself. Looking forward to the future of the channel and seeing what 2019 brings for you!
Hey jimmer, if you want to enter the Citroen C1 race for 24 hours of spa. Then give me a shout. Could do a full virtual team with some other sim racers.
This looks nuts. Im going to go try it in an F1 car.
Thats a good idea! I'm gonna try that.
Do it with x2010
you should ask Georg Ortner for a better version of the targa florio. I saw him streaming while he drove the targa with much more trackside objects, afaik it was rf2 and a version where he was part of the mod-team.
That version is a conversion of the original GT Legends version, and is optimised for computers of that era, ie. most of the landscape is a skybox jpeg. The track itself is just a ribbon of polygons with big holes in the ground, and the trackside objects are low-res 2D sprites. This version looks like it'll have the full scope of the track as a 3D model, and that is something I have dreamed of for years. I look forward to the final product.
@@captainunderpants200 I still much prefer the rF2 version. Not only because you are supposed to have your vision blocked by the trees, but also because rF2's handling makes more sense. This version doesn't look like something deserving a public video. Not yet, at least.
@Rylee LFC How exactly are you expecting me to react to that? Would have been better if you kept that "opinion" to yourself if you are not going to elaborate.
207k subscribers.... Now at 467k.. Good on ya mate. This track is pretty awesome to watch.
Really loved this video layout, almost podcasty in a way. Stoked to see what opportunities arise in racing for you.
7:45 that's what Alex (failrace) calls "commentators curse" haha
ayyyyy another failrace fan :) his most recent survive the hunt video hit 1mil views, our little rolly boi is growing up so fast ;~;
Commentator's curse is actually a common term in sports coverage here in the UK.
