Just a quick note - Whilst it looks like I was on softs during these laps, I was infact on the ultrasoft tyre. The yellow band is purely a graphical thing.
This was great Jimmy, would love to see you do one for each track for the rest of the season. Even though this is a sim, you are still a brilliant driver.
This was awesome. I love this format. Only thing I'd love you to add is a outside cinematic view of the lap afterwards with commentary on the lap. That would be awesome to see.
One big difference between game Baku and real life Baku is that in-game trees don't drop shit to the track that decreases car's grip. That's why so many locked up in practice yesterday because there was pollen from trees on track.
This track mod is inaccurate. The last (actual) corner is different now. It was only like that in its first season. 2017 and 2018 that last corner is wider and pointer if you will. I'm pretty sure anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong
"I Raikkonen'd!"... I was rolling on the floor, that was absolutely nice! 😂 Great lap Gimmy 👍 PS: you're too gentle with the throttle at the exit of the corners(gentle isn't probably the right word...). I mean that you are too cautious in that moment, so you don't really push to the limit (probably this is also the reason of your dissatisfaction, you feel like you haven't really pushed)
I don't think that's the main reason, just the track conditions were different. In the races so far, the cars are faster than last year, execpt Williams ;).
Come on Jimmy 919 Evo around Le mans sorry I am banging on about it so much but I did see a video of someone doing 2:59 and change....I think you can beat that...
Congrats on 80,000 subs THICC BOI :) great channel as always your a legend, love your content and appreciate your hard work for us viewers. Keep it up and wish I was as good as you at the Nordschleife as you are sir.
I used to do this 25 years ago... Amiga A500+ didn't look as lush as this though. Would love to try this in VR. Good job. Every week I'd qualify the race then do full race distance after watching the F1.
Max Snellink my best gaming days,racing f1 on the amiga a500 with a Quickshot Pro digital joystick,I was in my twenties back then,glorious days,Murray Walker and James Hunt commentating the F1 back then. Then after that Grand Prix Legends!
Truly enjoyed this video, JimJam! Would love to see you trying to beat the pole laps for this season, permitting the tracks are available on RaceDepartment (It looks like a lot of people have that thought as well!). Fantastic as always - your ability to commentate as you're throwing a car around surprises me every single time I watch your videos
I had a feeling you would pull a Kimi. Absolutely hilarious that it happened the first time that you knew you were on the money. You performed commentators curse on yourself man. Stellar lap though, I certainly wouldn't be as fast.
I really enjoy this series of beating real lap records. It’s a really fun and cool connection from sim racing to real lap times. It would be cool to see a Le Mans Lap come June. Great stuff jimmy.
Man that looks great fun. Yes you can never quite replicate what it's really like, wind etc. but that's how game racing should be. Well done and more of this please.
Really great lap! I like the concept behind this, and your beating real world times. Be great to see what other disciplines you can come up with, and try and beat! Awesome stuff, as always Jimmy.
In my opinion the track has some mistakes. The chicane in T6 seems larger, the T15 is totally different, here you can brake straight but in real life not, and T16 the curve IRL is more "squared". I'm wrong? Good Job Jimmy BTW!
Mike_Regrexion Agree, but this is attributable to the setup, in gaming you can push harder than real life, you can go more extreme and reach higher speed.
I like the idea of watching this type of video after every gp event. I'd love to see more, and hope that you can keep finding mods for the tracks (and maybe for the pole setting cars too)
You can pretty easily fix the DRS zone problem. Just go to the drs_zones.ini file (in the "data" folder for the track) and edit "ZONE_0" to the following values: DETECTION=0.195 START=0.224 END=0.328
Nice drive Jimmy Maybe a feature using the current cars but at circuits no longer on the calendar. Turkey, Korea, Adelaide, Brands Hatch GP, Estoril, Fuji, Magny-Cours, Kyalami, Imola. How about it!!??
14:14 jimmy stands up take the VR set and on purpose let it fall, then he looks to the camera AND say with an arrogant hip hop style :" Vettel wa..sup...? was sup?"
You were actually 0.5 seconds up before the last corner on that last lap. It seems some of the kerbs in the first half of the lap are a bit inaccurate. You're able to go 2 wheels over the kerbs on some corners, but they can't be touched in real life. Turn 6 for example is so slippery and the kerb is quite high in real life. It's where Dan Ric lost it in qualifying last year. Anyway, all of what I have said is irrelevant as times can't be comparable. Still love watching these videos though. Especially in VR. They're brilliant!!!!!
Facr: on the end or top part of the rear wing there is a tiny vertical piece called a Gurney flap. Named after him because he was the first to use it in a race.
Mate I'm envious of you. How on Earth can you do that and talk at the same time. Not only talk but make jokes? I bet if you put your mind to it you could beat (nearly?) anyone over 1 lap. I wish I could drive as well as you. Your mental reserves remind me of Prost and Schumacher.
Defo more time in that lap, you played it safe on 3rd to last corner and paid for it on the lead to final straight. Pretty cool video though, keep it up :)
This track is quite a bit different from this week end's. The corner where Raikkonen stuffs up his quali (don't know corner number) is much wider in here, and generally faster than it was in real life this year.
Wonder if u could just brake boost out out of those slow corners. Like use the brakes while still having the accelerator pressed even if it's a little bit. Because the lag seems to be pretty bad and can def see losing some time because of it.
you could add the pressure to those and do it like they do in real qualifiyng. try to get to q2 and 3 and then try to beat the time in 2 runs. would be nice to see how you perform under pressure :)
Can you adjust the track temps and the like on Assetto Corsa? This year's pole was actually almost a second slower compared to last year's due to the colder temps having the Baku GP earlier in 2018. Jimmy was still able to beat 2018's pole lap even without the second DRS zone though so it's still impressive.
SPOILER You choosing a Ferrari is a spoiler in itself, you should have chosen the Williams skin :P (what a crying shame that we can say for sure that a Williams will not be on pole)
1st hotlap u forgot to activate drs on last straight. u was doing 350kph the lap prior... keep the interesting videos coming... gonna install the track see if any of the ferrari's are on it
Just a quick note - Whilst it looks like I was on softs during these laps, I was infact on the ultrasoft tyre. The yellow band is purely a graphical thing.
the 'i' in the word time in the title is a capital lettter lol
O shit, you're right! Cheers for that :)
Jimmy Broadbent why is the camera slightly of to the left?
Jimmy Broadbent there is a mod you can get to make the tires look proper
You can only record 1 screen, so you see through the left eye.
the nordschliefe looks a bit different
*Nordschleife
Nerdshlaffa
Really? I don't see it.
WELL DONE NÜRBURG
CortMarshal haha
This was great Jimmy, would love to see you do one for each track for the rest of the season.
Even though this is a sim, you are still a brilliant driver.
+1. Good viewing for a Sunday morning
Handsome lad as well. The VR goggles maketh the man _also hideth thyn mug_
this could be a new series call it "beat the pole" ;)
Or "Blow by the Pole"
I beat my pole.
Pole-flogging with Jimbo :D
Beating off the pole, maximum attack!
Yaaaassss
Can you stick giant novelty googly eyes on your VR headset?
That will earn my sub for sure
Muh rift sensors tho
there are tons of infrared-leds on the headset to allow for accurate tracking.
covering them up would probably cause issues.
anime girl eyes
got some 5cm ones on my Oculus, if you buy anything bigger you'll block some of the infra-red gizmos
This was awesome. I love this format. Only thing I'd love you to add is a outside cinematic view of the lap afterwards with commentary on the lap. That would be awesome to see.
One big difference between game Baku and real life Baku is that in-game trees don't drop shit to the track that decreases car's grip. That's why so many locked up in practice yesterday because there was pollen from trees on track.
He should have set the track surface to dusty. It would have been more realistic.
Also it's because the Azerbaijan GP took place a lot earlier than last year, which now is still spring season... last year was near summer
Fortzon that's literally the complete opposite of what David Coulthard said lmao
Talk about hay fever hey 🧐
A computer game is never realistic.
This track mod is inaccurate.
The last (actual) corner is different now. It was only like that in its first season.
2017 and 2018 that last corner is wider and pointer if you will.
I'm pretty sure anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong
Laurenz Du Kimis corner is definitely wider irl
yeah its the 2016 version. also has inaccurate elevation
Licensing problems so they can't use the 2018 version.
9:47 And I´m like "Oh my god, he did the Räikkönen"
Except Kimi saved it.
Aaron Rowland yeah 2 best sectors and than the error
If Raikkonen had not missed the turn, he would be almost 1s faster than Vettel's pole !!
Very impressive, but can you beat Hamilton's luck on Baku GP?
diazzsama yep. Lewis Hamilton's pole lap was a second faster with supersofts on!
Yes! This format is awesome. Keep doing it in every single race.
"I Raikkonen'd!"... I was rolling on the floor, that was absolutely nice! 😂
Great lap Gimmy 👍
PS: you're too gentle with the throttle at the exit of the corners(gentle isn't probably the right word...). I mean that you are too cautious in that moment, so you don't really push to the limit (probably this is also the reason of your dissatisfaction, you feel like you haven't really pushed)
2017 Baku pole was about a second faster
LamboWalker more weight with the halo
I don't think that's the main reason, just the track conditions were different. In the races so far, the cars are faster than last year, execpt Williams ;).
Might have to do with the fact that Baku took place in late June, in warmer temperatures
The track today was very windy and dusty. last year the conditions were perfect. Generally 2018 cars are faster than 2017
Today it was very windy and cloudy in Baku, and probably more dusty than last year.
This was great thanks Jimmy! Your 5th lap was much smoother. That Castle section is a killer.
Come on Jimmy 919 Evo around Le mans sorry I am banging on about it so much but I did see a video of someone doing 2:59 and change....I think you can beat that...
I want to see that
Congrats on 80,000 subs THICC BOI :) great channel as always your a legend, love your content and appreciate your hard work for us viewers. Keep it up and wish I was as good as you at the Nordschleife as you are sir.
Would love to see this become a regular series, Jimmy!
I used to do this 25 years ago... Amiga A500+ didn't look as lush as this though. Would love to try this in VR. Good job. Every week I'd qualify the race then do full race distance after watching the F1.
Java Monsoon so much fun. One day I'll get a rig and VR but sooner spend the cash on an actual go kart.
Max Snellink my best gaming days,racing f1 on the amiga a500 with a Quickshot Pro digital joystick,I was in my twenties back then,glorious days,Murray Walker and James Hunt commentating the F1 back then.
Then after that Grand Prix Legends!

I love that you Kimi'd that lap. So satisfying to watch.
Man that looks great fun. Yes you can never quite replicate what it's really like, wind etc. but that's how game racing should be. Well done and more of this please.
Keep this up to every gp, it´s really fun to watch.
Really great lap! I like the concept behind this, and your beating real world times. Be great to see what other disciplines you can come up with, and try and beat! Awesome stuff, as always Jimmy.
This is a great compliment to watching Sky F1....keep it up :)
In my opinion the track has some mistakes. The chicane in T6 seems larger, the T15 is totally different, here you can brake straight but in real life not, and T16 the curve IRL is more "squared". I'm wrong?
Good Job Jimmy BTW!
Jacopo Cadeddu
Yes, definitely. All the things you mentioned are correct. I felt the same when I was watching the video.
Too much speed in the straight too...during the Q3 they reach 335Km/h , not 350km/h. Reaching 350 means sacrifice the car in the others sectors
Mike_Regrexion Agree, but this is attributable to the setup, in gaming you can push harder than real life, you can go more extreme and reach higher speed.
Jacopo Cadeddu I could be wrong, but I think this mod is based of the 2016 layout, which was slightly different I think.
And the DRS zones seem to be inaccurate
Spent quite a while looking for an AC version of Baku for a while. Thanks Jommer
I like the idea of watching this type of video after every gp event. I'd love to see more, and hope that you can keep finding mods for the tracks (and maybe for the pole setting cars too)
Wow, how you found 3 tenths in that lap is amazing. My PB so far is a 1:41;480, so I still have .340 seconds to chase :/ Really good job Jimmy! :)
13:10 Now that's a delicious racing line!
I realy enjoy the concept. Especialy after hving just seen the qualy results. More like this please :)
that Kimi moment was the same! Well with the little diference that he was able to hold it and didnt crashed :D
Great video! Keep this hot laps coming, it would be nice to see you trying to beat every pole time for the rest of the season :D
Im amazed that they got this sim that close to real racing in terms of lap times. Its extremely accurate.
Nice to see you fully concentrating, as sure Vettel was not talking through his pole lap😉
How fast can i run the nordschliefe by jimmy broadbent?
Please do this for every GP! Even during other seasons, because the cars will be different, so it'll never get boring
You can pretty easily fix the DRS zone problem. Just go to the drs_zones.ini file (in the "data" folder for the track) and edit "ZONE_0" to the following values:
DETECTION=0.195
START=0.224
END=0.328
Nice drive Jimmy
Maybe a feature using the current cars but at circuits no longer on the calendar. Turkey, Korea, Adelaide, Brands Hatch GP, Estoril, Fuji, Magny-Cours, Kyalami, Imola. How about it!!??
I saw people making insane 1:38 lap time with Formula Hybrid...my personal time 1:40.2 using SS "this track is amazing"!!!!! cheer dude!
14:14 jimmy stands up take the VR set and on purpose let it fall, then he looks to the camera AND say with an arrogant hip hop style :" Vettel wa..sup...? was sup?"
Blimming excellent..... pilot accepted, season booked
You should do this for the rest of the season, subscribed!
I noticed that the corner, where kimi bottled his lap, was a bit different
Muhamad Armando it's so so much different, rest of the track is great bar that one corner, you are correct
LOL...thats funny how you get more information about a track from a video game player than from a real race car driver. Well done!
Wow that is amazing how fast you can learn a track and understand your mistakes
"Lap 3 - Kimi" oh that got a laugh out of me.
This serves as a great learn the track guide, great video!
You were actually 0.5 seconds up before the last corner on that last lap. It seems some of the kerbs in the first half of the lap are a bit inaccurate. You're able to go 2 wheels over the kerbs on some corners, but they can't be touched in real life. Turn 6 for example is so slippery and the kerb is quite high in real life. It's where Dan Ric lost it in qualifying last year.
Anyway, all of what I have said is irrelevant as times can't be comparable. Still love watching these videos though. Especially in VR. They're brilliant!!!!!
Facr: on the end or top part of the rear wing there is a tiny vertical piece called a Gurney flap. Named after him because he was the first to use it in a race.
Nice time, 1:41.414 the number of Alonso 14 hehe cheers from Spain. I love ur videos
Well done Jimmer ! Gotta try by myself :)
Mate I'm envious of you. How on Earth can you do that and talk at the same time. Not only talk but make jokes? I bet if you put your mind to it you could beat (nearly?)
anyone over 1 lap. I wish I could drive as well as you. Your mental reserves remind me of Prost and Schumacher.
Well done , thumbs up
nice! can't wait for more of this :)
love it, please do it for the rest of the pole laps mate!
Love these types of videos.
I love those videos .Hope there will be more.
Really really liking these videos bro
"Don't raikonnen Jimmy"-Jimmy a long lime ago. History repeats itself.
Speaking for everyone with ocd, please center your headset before you start. The center support for the halo is sooooo far to the right
Great lap m8. Its just that you didnt have the same conditions as they did, so thats why you beat the pole time ;)
Defo more time in that lap, you played it safe on 3rd to last corner and paid for it on the lead to final straight. Pretty cool video though, keep it up :)
Loving the TH-cam f1 presence
I wsh Codemasters made same steering wheel display as is in this one... Anyway, great effort, great driving as always :)
I'd love to see you do comparisons between the F1/GT cars and regular performance cars (road legal)
Have never actually seen an onboard lap of this track before this. Looks really slow in the corners but I'd imagine it's pretty fun to drive honestly.
This is a great video idea, you should definitely do this at more races!
This track is quite a bit different from this week end's.
The corner where Raikkonen stuffs up his quali (don't know corner number) is much wider in here, and generally faster than it was in real life this year.
Almost 2K likes... awesome laps!
Get wrecked Vettel now that's an Hashtag😂 thanks jimmy. And yes every track from now on if possible please.
I would love to see an F1 challenge where you try and beat pole laps with a sequential gear lever instead of the paddles.
Nice driving 👍
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Good run Jimmy, cheers, Be Safe;-).
Yeah, you're going to be doing this for every race haha x
Great video!! When you do these do you have any assists turned on?
this cam is great...so real
Interesting new content format
guess we know who's gonna be ferrari's 2nd driver once kimi retires
Wonder if u could just brake boost out out of those slow corners. Like use the brakes while still having the accelerator pressed even if it's a little bit. Because the lag seems to be pretty bad and can def see losing some time because of it.
It was a brilliant day of racing today at baku!!!
You should make this a series. Seems fun to me
grande laboro, grande macchina
I love watching your videos..but man i get motion sickness sometimes with watching the VR to much ;D
Mate that’s some sick driving 😅😅
you could add the pressure to those and do it like they do in real qualifiyng. try to get to q2 and 3 and then try to beat the time in 2 runs. would be nice to see how you perform under pressure :)
What a great lap that WAS
That was awesome 👏👏👏👏
well done jimmy, go for lewis's lap (1.40.593) and get the all time record of baku :D
Well Done Jimmers
Keep it up love your videos.
Red Bull X2010 around Baku, make it happen. Favorite car and favorite track for me. Please.
Can you adjust the track temps and the like on Assetto Corsa? This year's pole was actually almost a second slower compared to last year's due to the colder temps having the Baku GP earlier in 2018.
Jimmy was still able to beat 2018's pole lap even without the second DRS zone though so it's still impressive.
love this video make it a series or summn
Shout out to Jimmer turning into Jimi Räikkönen by binning it on the final turn.
Watching this was more exciting than watching the real thing
SPOILER
You choosing a Ferrari is a spoiler in itself, you should have chosen the Williams skin :P (what a crying shame that we can say for sure that a Williams will not be on pole)
Williams will be on pole in China, just you wait! #SandbaggingChampions
1st hotlap u forgot to activate drs on last straight. u was doing 350kph the lap prior...
keep the interesting videos coming... gonna install the track see if any of the ferrari's are on it
bringersbob he said only one of the Drs zones worked
yeh I know, the one am talking about worked he just forgot to engage it. Still a setup change made him quick before that sector eventually
