Actually he reminds me of the commentator for IMSA races, they should really team up as a duo because I feel like they'd do amazing work going back and forth on the commentary.
Pretty sure this'll just be buried but hopefully you see it; I reckon a "24 minutes of..." series with 60x time progression would be quite fun. 24 minutes of Daytona, 24 minutes of Le Mans, 24 minutes of Spa, 24 minutes of the Nurburgring, 24 minutes of Dubai, and maybe 24 minutes of Brands Hatch even though that's not based on a real race. Pick a car set and make a little championship out of it perhaps? I reckon that you'd enjoy it and we'd enjoy it
He actually did a video similar to what your talking about with asseto Corsa. It was a mod with a 24hr time cycle and new graphics for the sky and weather. During the race he put the time speed to the max and throughout the race the time changed from morning to sunset to nighttime and nighttime was BEAUTIFUL!!!!
"The inky blackness turns into a pale blue as the day starts to stir" My Dude.. why are you not a professional commentator yet? I have a feeling you have a beautiful life ahead of you my friend.
Well well well. Looks like he is a commentator now. Good stuff, I love coming back years later to find out that he is indeed doing what he is absolutely best at. Amazing, job well done 👍

IMMERSION: Isn't this what we all want from sim racing? This is where PCARS2 delivers more than many other games - only surpassed by GTR2: I never understood how hours are spent discussing minute details of cars none of us ever drove or will drive, while (some very vocal) sim racers gladly ignore the lack of weather, time of day, pit stops, safety cars, ...

Imho, PCars 2 might not be the best sim in terms of physics, but it is the most complete sim package that is available today. Followed by automobilista.
@@Snipes432 So far, I have not bought Automobilista. For me, it seemed strange to buy a new game based on the dated gmotor / pmotor engine, which even lacks some of GTR2's and Race 07's features (weather!). Furthermore, I found the whole charade about Reiza's next, truly new, game rather off-putting. You may have a rather good argument to change my mind, however ;)
@@Freezorgium It still has its weaknesses, I agree. However, I prefer its concept to the "our tyre model is perfect - ten times in a row" of other sims.
My good sir, this was my second video I have seen from your library and not only was the racing amazing but the commentary is top notch. You sir are wasted on TH-cam and should be professional. Glad I found you and have subscribed to the channel.
While the physics are still considered simulator and do a pretty good job, especially compared to PC1. They are not as good as other games like Rfactor2. But things PC2 does amazingly well is VR and the weather system. I mean goddamn puddle forming at a laser scanned track where actualy puddles would form in real life, while the weather can change over time. I am curious of PC3, but i am also afraid they will fuck it up.
once it is setup properly for your wheel, it feels every bit as good as AC and the graphics blow AC out of the water. AC has better multiplayer however for sure. Moving away from G2x wheels is first step to know what FFB should feel like. After g25.27.29, i tried tspc racer, for the money, it is just miles better in everyway. $240 on sale. PC2 also lets you map 'recenter vr' to wheel. This is critical and missing in every other racing game. I use it every time i get in a car, so nice. AC / PC2 / Rally1 and 2 are why I have VR. Wish F1 would release in VR, until they do, I won't buy.
And now Codemasters has ruined the Project Cars franchise by turning it into an arcade game that has weak graphics and lacks any originality. Such disservice to all the ppl who helped crowdfund for it at the beginning.
We can just keep playing PC2 Y'know, just to send them a message about how shit their new game is. Cause PC2 DEFINITELY isn't a 10/10 game, but it's still WAAAAAY ahead of PC3.
@@CarlosFlores-pl3lb PC2 is not perfect, but it has a ton of soul somehow. You just find a good car-track combo, a comfortable setup, and drive through the night, forgetting everything else. Games with soul are the best.
One of your best Jimmer, top stuff! The damaged car just adds to the endurance immersion, limping home a wounded car, just to make the finish, nevermind the result.
I've been playing a lot of PCARS 2 in VR and it's amazing. Surpassed my expectations for sure. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to take their sim racing to the next level.
Wow, this is by far the best racing sim video I have seen. In fact, one of the best video on TH-cam as a whole. Stunning commentary my man, just great!
Love it. The goosebumps you get when you feel the dawn about to break and the sky turning brighter every minute in the morning, the rush of racing during the night and the relentless nature of a race is why I love endurance racing, cant wait for my 24h race in late april, aswell as more vids from ol Jimmer doing awesome work really putting that excitement into words and subsequently into yet another great video :)
14:32 The glowing brakes on the Lambo, top notch. Never been to Daytona but go to Sebring every year. The glowing brakes at night is still so cool after all these years.
wow did you see all the audience in the audience stand soooo realistic you can see the glee on their individual unique faces cheering you on and wildly jumping for joy in exhilerating excitement whilst cheering you on.... amazing
Frank Schröder I think it is because it takes time to make sure the AI difficulty is correct because each car and track combo requires a different difficulty to be equal with the AI even if your skill with each car and track is the same. Also, as Jimmy said not every car is as good as this.
Because he does a lot of multiplayer racing... That's where PC2 is a big no-no. At least for the people who own as much stuff in iRacing as Jimmy. Trust me, you would prefer iRacing too. :D If you had his equipement, his skill and his iRacing content, you would forget about PC2 just as he does. :D
@@michalvalta5231 He also does F1 2018 and even BeamNG vidoes, so that can´t be the reason. Anyway, I see him enjoying his time in PC2 so all I suggested was doing some more stuff like this. As for the different sims: each to one´s own. :)
Your enthusiasm is contagious.. I love it! I just purchased Project Cars 1 and 2 and they are awesome! Going to play on my Oculus/Thrustmaster rig Cheers..
Love the PC2 content. Might have to fire it up when I get home. Great video, Jimmy! Of course it has some pros and cons, but so does every other sim. For some reason people are harder on PC2 than any sim except maybe Gran Turismo.
For all its faults, there is a LOT to be said for PC2, especially in VR. Its one of the most amazing VR racing games I've ever played. The sheer sense of speed on those Daytona circuits in a race like that is unparalleled in my opinion.
ACC is looking very good so far! I mean in VR. Heavy rain in night, that awesome wind noise at high speeds, cool experience... Let's hope that game doesn't flop! :)
@@Taze00 I use vivepro - the blurry/fog issue is annoying & also strange. It comes & goes. After hearing Jimmy's comments here & reading the comment further up I'm going to try letting the headset run for a while before putting it on. Overall though, wouldn't be without it. When it's clear, it's crystal clear & the immersion is real!
I was having a similar issue with the rift, upgraded to the odyssey + and its crystal clear, text looks 100 times better and you can see much further. The anti screen door effect tech is the best. I highly reccomend it
@@teabagmcpick889 ten to one , you are overheating. if it ever looks right then doesn't, your system is throttling back. I had to add a push/push fan config to my water cooler when i made the move to VR. download a temp sensor, if you go over 60, cpu and video card will throttle back, up to 80%. I used to hit close to 90, now not seen over 50 degrees. Also, putting games and swap file on a fast ssd will add 30% framerates, cheapest upgrade you will ever make. And yes, you need a swap file, no matter how much memory you have.
@@boscomoroz326 No. System is quite good, everything maxed with SS at 2.0 in game. The issue was that I was overheating inside the headset which was much cooler & simply fogging it. Headset on for 10 minutes before use & a box fan behind pedals aimed straight at me & we're golden.
A favorite of mine is Group 6, Group 5, and Group 4 multiclass at Vintage Le Mans with rain coming in partway through the race, and everyone goes scrambling in the pits to change tires while you're looking for your pitcrew. Like in real life, the 935 is super OP and can keep up with the Group 6 prototypes.
Because of the steam sale right now I'm watching some old video's of you. To help make my decision RF2, PC2 or Automobilista. This is one of your best video's ever!! You can really hear the immersion in your voice!
Just got my first taste of Asseto Corsa in VR... Dude, I'm so hooked. Took a while to get my wheel and everything going, years really, but I'm finally in and while it lasts, I plan to go hard. Thanks for all the content, Jimjam.
@@cherrypopper7653 you will delete pc1 the minute you drive pc2. They fixed so many issues, namely the ability to save unlimited setups, which is crucial as you build out your cars setup. Also as jimmer said, immersion and graphics amazing as is FFB. I would only rate Rally 2 as more immersive, it also drives so well as compared to rally 1.
OH man that was so awesome!! Hands down, the best racing game and most exciting race I have ever witnessed. Impressive VR immersion, so realistic, I was literally raising my voice expressing my excitement over your competitive racing style. My eyes glued to my laptop screen, cheering you on, clapping and carrying on. Your racing skills in this video are very impressive, and your commentaries are "top notch"; also very impressive, informative, direct and easy to understand, creating a clear picture of the entire experience. You seem to be a professional motorsports announcer, in my opinion. I don't have any brand or type of game system or computer good enough for gaming, so approximately one year ago, I became familiar with watching youtubers videos displaying content that I find most entertaining. It seems to me that a significant amount of the games I see people play, are just as much fun to watch as they would be to play them myself. With that said, I appreciate you playing, streaming and uploading videos of the games that somewhat pull such excitement (kicking over foot pedal cam kind of excitement), out of me. That is the reason why I became a subscriber to your channel today. Thank you!
Funny you mention karting when you race this track. I've actually karted on this track IRL. I'm not sure it still exists but there was a WKA 4 Cycle kart event at the speedway the day after Christmas every year when I was young. In total I attended 3 years and drove 2 of them (1st year I just watched my dad). You really don't appreciate how big the speedway is until you're an inch off the ground and praying the sooped up lawnmower engine next to you doesn't throw a rod into your right arm as you turn crazy RPM down the back straight. The walls are HUGE and the black marks where cars hit them seem to last for miles. We never did the bus stop, always went straight, but we did the in field. As lame as it sounds, most of the time you're on the speedway you're down on the apron, the banking is slower in a kart. But on out and in laps everyone would go up on the banking just to feel the steepness. My first year I spun out on pit exit. It rained that morning (typical Florida), the track was dry, pit exit.. not so much. Second year I spun in the tight right hander after the international horseshoe. While the corner worker was helping me push back on track, another guy spun and slammed into my kart. I thought I was done but somehow dad and Grandpa fixed it up enough in time that I still got to race. Needless to say I never became a F1 driver, but it was definitely a lot of fun, and I'd recommend it to anyone. Though like any motorsport, it's expensive AF to stay competitive. I have many memories at the speedway, been to multiple 500s, was there when we lost Dale Sr., section K row 2 seat 2. :( I got more stories but I'll save them for the 24hr, lol.
JIMMER! that might just be my favorite of all your videos! That was a blast to watch. Hearing the joy in your voice as you get distracted by a ferris wheel is just the best, took us right into the car with you! Thanks for that! Keep these coming!
Really enjoyed this. Thank you Jimmy. I just wish more people on PCARS2 would race Gr. C cars. I try to make lobbies with races similar to period. But instead all your see is a literal page of GT3 lobbies.
Jimmy, I'm from Brazil and for the first time in years I had goosebumps supporting someone after I did so much for Senna. I dunno man, the final moments were fucking intense driving. I believe the VR input and shaking did the trick. Awesome stuff dude, I'm glad TH-cam recommended one of your videos to me, so I can know more.
At first when you said that the 24h was going to happen irl I was like "oh 24h Daytona? With the pandemic and all?" then I saw that this is a 2019 video, damn it hit me
My god that was awesome. I came just to check your rig and stayed all the way to the end. Really exciting race, it just got better and better, you killed it man!
Love hearing people say good things about PC2. It got a lot of hate when it first came out but as someone who has put a lot of time into it, it does offer a great experience and great racing.
If you ever want to come experience the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona 4 day event, let me know. It's an event that everyone should really experience once in their life.
@@aboriani No doubt. Started at 10 myself. Drove professionaly until I was 20. That said, I see alot of 30+ guys like me now picking it up and having a blast racing against mates. Its not "too late" even for an adult. And its a killer workout as well.
I've done a 12h race on watkins glen with group C and old DTM race cars a few months ago in Assetto Corsa. It was planed by a German community. One of the best experiences ive had on sim racing. Also using VR, can only recommend it to everybody. Greets from Germany Keep on with the good work jimmy :)
Sometimes energy is infectious. I put this video on as a bit of background noise and found myself glued to it. The passion is real. And you totally got a sub being a man who references Rush Hour 2 bloopers in another vid I saw.
Jimmy, I watch a ton of your videos and I stumbled on this one today. I think it's the most enjoyable sim racing video I have ever watched on TH-cam. Great work man!
Project CARS 2 does have some bad points, but so does every sim. It also has a lot of good points, so des every other sim. But something I've only experienced in PC2 is the occasional "incredible" moment whilst driving.
Agreed. Went through a rainstorm transitioning into fog at night racing at Fiji. Although the fog only lasted for 2 laps it was terrifying at night with a wet track in VR, really felt like I was there pushing the car to limit with zero visibility of the corner I was trying to take flat!
Wow. This guy is great. I know it's a limited market, but you should have at least 1 million subs given your high-end content/setup, talent/skill in-game, and commentary! Remarkable stuff, man. Had to sub right away!
get a rift S its worth it for racing...seeing it in full 3d running at full frames per second is magnificient...no youtube video can convey that to you even though this one is indeed pretty cool but it's nothing compared to what HE'S seeing.
HOLY MOLY!!! This just came up in my suggested videos and I think it’s the most invested in a race I’ve ever been in my entire life!!! Hahaha! 😂 Right fellow viewers, please tell me all of the equipment I need to be able to do this. 😂
@@BarbecuedPossum I think it's not about hating them because they're bad, but because they're advertised as the best etc pp - and no, that "it's just marketing bs anyway" argument doesn't count :P
It may not be the best simulator out there but as far as sims go it is easily the most accessible and easy to understand for both hardcore racing fans and casual fans alike.
Suggestion: I had the same fogging problems as you Jimmer. I'm a sweaty BOI. I fixed it by getting a desk fan, air flow into my face and chest eliminated the fogging completely unless it's absolutely roasting hot.
Jamie McEwan great idea - I hated vr bc of fog issues, wish I’d have thought of a fan before sending it all back :( jimmer probably wouldnt be able to use a fan though, background noise being the issue
Back in the days, I used to race in endurance events on the GTP mod for NR2003. There were 4 chassis : Sauber C9, Jag XJR9, Toyota 89CV and Mazda 787B. The league was American, but the field was international and the level of skills all around was great. I remember a 12 hours race at Daytona (probably 2008) where we finished 2nd in a Merc after an epic fight with two scandinavian in a Jag. In 2009, I won the 24 hours of Le Mans with an American, an Australian, a Finn, a Hungarian and my French self :) It was the very first sim that allowed driver change and it was very epic indeed :) Raced a few Group C Enduros on rFactor as well, not quite as epic but pretty good as well.

So far, I have not bought Automobilista. For me, it seemed strange to buy a new game based on the dated gmotor / pmotor engine, which even lacks some of GTR2's and Race 07's features (weather!). Furthermore, I found the whole charade about Reiza's next, truly new, game rather off-putting.
You may have a rather good argument to change my mind, however ;)
@@Freezorgium
It still has its weaknesses, I agree. However, I prefer its concept to the "our tyre model is perfect - ten times in a row" of other sims.
My good sir, this was my second video I have seen from your library and not only was the racing amazing but the commentary is top notch. You sir are wasted on TH-cam and should be professional.
Glad I found you and have subscribed to the channel.
I'm glad you agree PC2 is the best for VR immersion.
Not necessarily the best sim.
But for the total overall package. It's the most immersive.
While the physics are still considered simulator and do a pretty good job, especially compared to PC1. They are not as good as other games like Rfactor2. But things PC2 does amazingly well is VR and the weather system. I mean goddamn puddle forming at a laser scanned track where actualy puddles would form in real life, while the weather can change over time. I am curious of PC3, but i am also afraid they will fuck it up.
@@hoen2009 I'm right there with you. Especially with the recent information from SMS.
@@Mikey6048 i hope they make the physics even more realistic whilst keeping up the great work with the things you both said.
once it is setup properly for your wheel, it feels every bit as good as AC and the graphics blow AC out of the water. AC has better multiplayer however for sure. Moving away from G2x wheels is first step to know what FFB should feel like. After g25.27.29, i tried tspc racer, for the money, it is just miles better in everyway. $240 on sale.
PC2 also lets you map 'recenter vr' to wheel. This is critical and missing in every other racing game. I use it every time i get in a car, so nice. AC / PC2 / Rally1 and 2 are why I have VR. Wish F1 would release in VR, until they do, I won't buy.
Rarely do I sit and watch a whole sim video but this one was AWESOME !! also the commentary was spectacular !
Hands down best video youve ever done Jimmer. Brilliant stuff well done.
And now Codemasters has ruined the Project Cars franchise by turning it into an arcade game that has weak graphics and lacks any originality. Such disservice to all the ppl who helped crowdfund for it at the beginning.
Ong bro I was really stoked for the update car lists but as soon as they was like “aye uhhhh we ain’t doin that on this game.......or ever” I died
The SMS team still did it, doubt codemasters had anything to do with this failure
We can just keep playing PC2
Y'know, just to send them a message about how shit their new game is. Cause PC2 DEFINITELY isn't a 10/10 game, but it's still WAAAAAY ahead of PC3.
Codemasters has nothing to do with it
@@CarlosFlores-pl3lb PC2 is not perfect, but it has a ton of soul somehow. You just find a good car-track combo, a comfortable setup, and drive through the night, forgetting everything else. Games with soul are the best.
In VR you cannot beat the effects - stunning. If you haven't tried - you must!
When i was a kid i would never imagine that i could drive my dream cars in VR. What a time to be alive!
I absolutely love Jimmy's sheer, gleeful enthusiasm when he's driving. All of his videos are like that and it's a pleasure.
One of your best Jimmer, top stuff! The damaged car just adds to the endurance immersion, limping home a wounded car, just to make the finish, nevermind the result.
I've been playing a lot of PCARS 2 in VR and it's amazing. Surpassed my expectations for sure. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to take their sim racing to the next level.
Wow, this is by far the best racing sim video I have seen. In fact, one of the best video on TH-cam as a whole.
Stunning commentary my man, just great!
Omg this dude makes you feel like you're watching a race in POV while having a professional commentator do play by play for you, in a soothing accent.
He sounds just like the voice of F1, Murray Walker to me.
This was one of the best videos I have EVERRRR watched! Thank you Jimmy!!!
Great video Jimmer! I'm from Canada, headed down to the Daytona 24hr race with a bunch of boys. Excited! This got me even more hyped.
Swing by Fort Mac and pick me up :P
#Jealous
Love it. The goosebumps you get when you feel the dawn about to break and the sky turning brighter every minute in the morning, the rush of racing during the night and the relentless nature of a race is why I love endurance racing, cant wait for my 24h race in late april, aswell as more vids from ol Jimmer doing awesome work really putting that excitement into words and subsequently into yet another great video :)
Wow, just wow! That was brilliant!!
14:32 The glowing brakes on the Lambo, top notch. Never been to Daytona but go to Sebring every year. The glowing brakes at night is still so cool after all these years.
the intro is too true man, too true
That intro hits a lil too close to home bro.
@Killah_ZF mans gotta know the outro song. Any captains here?
wow did you see all the audience in the audience stand soooo realistic you can see the glee on their individual unique faces cheering you on and wildly jumping for joy in exhilerating excitement whilst cheering you on.... amazing
Hey Jimmer, you don´t do many PC2 vids but each time you do you seem to be enjoying it immensely, so why not giving us a few more of these?
Frank Schröder I think it is because it takes time to make sure the AI difficulty is correct because each car and track combo requires a different difficulty to be equal with the AI even if your skill with each car and track is the same. Also, as Jimmy said not every car is as good as this.
Because he does a lot of multiplayer racing... That's where PC2 is a big no-no. At least for the people who own as much stuff in iRacing as Jimmy. Trust me, you would prefer iRacing too. :D If you had his equipement, his skill and his iRacing content, you would forget about PC2 just as he does. :D
@@michalvalta5231 He also does F1 2018 and even BeamNG vidoes, so that can´t be the reason. Anyway, I see him enjoying his time in PC2 so all I suggested was doing some more stuff like this. As for the different sims: each to one´s own. :)
Your enthusiasm is contagious.. I love it! I just purchased Project Cars 1 and 2 and they are awesome! Going to play on my Oculus/Thrustmaster rig
Cheers..
Love the PC2 content. Might have to fire it up when I get home. Great video, Jimmy! Of course it has some pros and cons, but so does every other sim. For some reason people are harder on PC2 than any sim except maybe Gran Turismo.
That opening line about wishing Jimmer was a racing driver hits different in 2023
For all its faults, there is a LOT to be said for PC2, especially in VR. Its one of the most amazing VR racing games I've ever played. The sheer sense of speed on those Daytona circuits in a race like that is unparalleled in my opinion.
ACC is looking very good so far! I mean in VR. Heavy rain in night, that awesome wind noise at high speeds, cool experience... Let's hope that game doesn't flop! :)
@@Taze00 I use vivepro - the blurry/fog issue is annoying & also strange. It comes & goes. After hearing Jimmy's comments here & reading the comment further up I'm going to try letting the headset run for a while before putting it on. Overall though, wouldn't be without it. When it's clear, it's crystal clear & the immersion is real!
I was having a similar issue with the rift, upgraded to the odyssey + and its crystal clear, text looks 100 times better and you can see much further. The anti screen door effect tech is the best. I highly reccomend it
@@teabagmcpick889 ten to one , you are overheating. if it ever looks right then doesn't, your system is throttling back. I had to add a push/push fan config to my water cooler when i made the move to VR. download a temp sensor, if you go over 60, cpu and video card will throttle back, up to 80%. I used to hit close to 90, now not seen over 50 degrees. Also, putting games and swap file on a fast ssd will add 30% framerates, cheapest upgrade you will ever make. And yes, you need a swap file, no matter how much memory you have.
@@boscomoroz326 No. System is quite good, everything maxed with SS at 2.0 in game. The issue was that I was overheating inside the headset which was much cooler & simply fogging it. Headset on for 10 minutes before use & a box fan behind pedals aimed straight at me & we're golden.
A favorite of mine is Group 6, Group 5, and Group 4 multiclass at Vintage Le Mans with rain coming in partway through the race, and everyone goes scrambling in the pits to change tires while you're looking for your pitcrew. Like in real life, the 935 is super OP and can keep up with the Group 6 prototypes.
The IMSA 280ZX Turbo is hilariously fast as well
Besides the sim quality, I'm impressed by the play-by-play commentary while you're driving. This is a hoot.
Mate you should lap the Nordschleife in reverse, the first time is pretty cool
I tried this, bloody difficult when you have forward down really well 😂
Great idea, I will give a try tonight!
"especially on weed, man"
Because of the steam sale right now I'm watching some old video's of you. To help make my decision RF2, PC2 or Automobilista. This is one of your best video's ever!! You can really hear the immersion in your voice!
Amazing vid Jimmer. Made even better through your commentary. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do more Le Man classics!
Gareth Noble agreed
You see Jimmy, I can afford anything you got there but the commentary and skill. Watching how you drive while listening to you is pure delight.
Please make more pCARS 2 videos/streams!!! I love this!
Just got my first taste of Asseto Corsa in VR... Dude, I'm so hooked.
Took a while to get my wheel and everything going, years really, but I'm finally in and while it lasts, I plan to go hard.
Thanks for all the content, Jimjam.
Thank god people still play pcars 2
I play daily. Im not a hardcore sim racer. I just enjoy it. Pcars meets all my needs for that and its absolutely beautiful
I’ve been playing it less as of late but only because I haven’t been playing sims in general for a while. When I do, PCARS 2 is my go to sim.
i'm still playing version 1 - will upgrade when they bundle things up
@@cherrypopper7653 you will delete pc1 the minute you drive pc2. They fixed so many issues, namely the ability to save unlimited setups, which is crucial as you build out your cars setup. Also as jimmer said, immersion and graphics amazing as is FFB. I would only rate Rally 2 as more immersive, it also drives so well as compared to rally 1.
Totally agreed. The VR immersion is pretty hard to beat.
OH man that was so awesome!! Hands down, the best racing game and most exciting race I have ever witnessed. Impressive VR immersion, so realistic, I was literally raising my voice expressing my excitement over your competitive racing style. My eyes glued to my laptop screen, cheering you on, clapping and carrying on. Your racing skills in this video are very impressive, and your commentaries are "top notch"; also very impressive, informative, direct and easy to understand, creating a clear picture of the entire experience. You seem to be a professional motorsports announcer, in my opinion. I don't have any brand or type of game system or computer good enough for gaming, so approximately one year ago, I became familiar with watching youtubers videos displaying content that I find most entertaining. It seems to me that a significant amount of the games I see people play, are just as much fun to watch as they would be to play them myself. With that said, I appreciate you playing, streaming and uploading videos of the games that somewhat pull such excitement (kicking over foot pedal cam kind of excitement), out of me. That is the reason why I became a subscriber to your channel today. Thank you!
Funny you mention karting when you race this track. I've actually karted on this track IRL. I'm not sure it still exists but there was a WKA 4 Cycle kart event at the speedway the day after Christmas every year when I was young. In total I attended 3 years and drove 2 of them (1st year I just watched my dad).
You really don't appreciate how big the speedway is until you're an inch off the ground and praying the sooped up lawnmower engine next to you doesn't throw a rod into your right arm as you turn crazy RPM down the back straight. The walls are HUGE and the black marks where cars hit them seem to last for miles.
We never did the bus stop, always went straight, but we did the in field. As lame as it sounds, most of the time you're on the speedway you're down on the apron, the banking is slower in a kart. But on out and in laps everyone would go up on the banking just to feel the steepness.
My first year I spun out on pit exit. It rained that morning (typical Florida), the track was dry, pit exit.. not so much. Second year I spun in the tight right hander after the international horseshoe. While the corner worker was helping me push back on track, another guy spun and slammed into my kart. I thought I was done but somehow dad and Grandpa fixed it up enough in time that I still got to race.
Needless to say I never became a F1 driver, but it was definitely a lot of fun, and I'd recommend it to anyone. Though like any motorsport, it's expensive AF to stay competitive. I have many memories at the speedway, been to multiple 500s, was there when we lost Dale Sr., section K row 2 seat 2. :(
I got more stories but I'll save them for the 24hr, lol.
Cool! Thanks for the story
JIMMER! that might just be my favorite of all your videos! That was a blast to watch. Hearing the joy in your voice as you get distracted by a ferris wheel is just the best, took us right into the car with you! Thanks for that! Keep these coming!
Really enjoyed this. Thank you Jimmy. I just wish more people on PCARS2 would race Gr. C cars. I try to make lobbies with races similar to period. But instead all your see is a literal page of GT3 lobbies.
Jimmy, I'm from Brazil and for the first time in years I had goosebumps supporting someone after I did so much for Senna.
I dunno man, the final moments were fucking intense driving. I believe the VR input and shaking did the trick.
Awesome stuff dude, I'm glad TH-cam recommended one of your videos to me, so I can know more.
At first when you said that the 24h was going to happen irl I was like "oh 24h Daytona? With the pandemic and all?" then I saw that this is a 2019 video, damn it hit me
My god that was awesome. I came just to check your rig and stayed all the way to the end. Really exciting race, it just got better and better, you killed it man!
"lets get on the inside of this Lambo..... Not sure why HE'S there, bless him... but i'll give him a free pass" I Love the shade lmaoo
Love hearing people say good things about PC2. It got a lot of hate when it first came out but as someone who has put a lot of time into it, it does offer a great experience and great racing.
That red sauber going into turn 1 😂 my spirit animal.
My God Jimmy, how in the world can you produce this level of commentary while you are driving??? You sir are an ALIEN!! Incredible.
If you ever want to come experience the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona 4 day event, let me know. It's an event that everyone should really experience once in their life.
This completely blows my mind. I don't know how I found this channel but awesome. I would love this set up...
You know. You can go karting as an adult. Its pretty damn good fun!
True, but to be a really competitive professional race driver, you gotta start soon. Most professional race drivers starts at age 8-9 or earlier.
@@aboriani No doubt. Started at 10 myself. Drove professionaly until I was 20. That said, I see alot of 30+ guys like me now picking it up and having a blast racing against mates. Its not "too late" even for an adult. And its a killer workout as well.
@@aboriani and then you've got Lewis Hamilton started at 5
But sim racing is more fun, with proper equipement. You can do so much stuff with it. Also, when your height is above 190cm, karting kinda sucks. xD
Doma oh yeah, go kart is always fun as hell, especially racing with a couple of friends
The sound on ProjCars really adds to the experience, it's raw and adds so much. love these vids :)
The intro on this aged well.... Well done jimmer x
I'm brand new to sim racing, your channel, and others like it. This video is hands down the most entertaining I've seen yet.
That opening, story of my life
What an amazing race, incredible driving as always! Epic finish there struggling with the car, all temp gauges to the max
9:05 'that's what she said' cracked me up!
LOL, i scrolled down the comments and when i read this he said it one second later 😂
I've done a 12h race on watkins glen with group C and old DTM race cars a few months ago in Assetto Corsa.
It was planed by a German community. One of the best experiences ive had on sim racing. Also using VR, can only recommend it to everybody.
Greets from Germany
Keep on with the good work jimmy :)
This guy has a racing commentators voice!
This is the video that first got me into sim racing. Around £4,000 later and I'm having a total and utter blast, especially in VR. Cheers Jimmer.
Me at the 2-minutes-to-go mark: "COME ON JIMMY! YOU GOT THIS GOOOO"
Great videos.
That sunrise was absolutely spectacular. Looks an incredible experience with VR, and lovely to see someone appreciating it. Keep it up Jimmer.
(0:10) Well that didn't age very well
Sometimes energy is infectious. I put this video on as a bit of background noise and found myself glued to it.
The passion is real. And you totally got a sub being a man who references Rush Hour 2 bloopers in another vid I saw.
Continued to drive while fixing the foot cam
Continued to drive while VR Headset froze

Jimmy, I watch a ton of your videos and I stumbled on this one today. I think it's the most enjoyable sim racing video I have ever watched on TH-cam. Great work man!
Project CARS 2 does have some bad points, but so does every sim. It also has a lot of good points, so des every other sim. But something I've only experienced in PC2 is the occasional "incredible" moment whilst driving.
+1
Agreed. Went through a rainstorm transitioning into fog at night racing at Fiji.
Although the fog only lasted for 2 laps it was terrifying at night with a wet track in VR, really felt like I was there pushing the car to limit with zero visibility of the corner I was trying to take flat!
Wow. This guy is great. I know it's a limited market, but you should have at least 1 million subs given your high-end content/setup, talent/skill in-game, and commentary! Remarkable stuff, man. Had to sub right away!
F for footcam. btw, this video was FANTASTIC
That was absolutely magnificent. Pure adrenaline. I was completely glued and watching this has made my mind up. Got to do this !
get a rift S its worth it for racing...seeing it in full 3d running at full frames per second is magnificient...no youtube video can convey that to you even though this one is indeed pretty cool but it's nothing compared to what HE'S seeing.
HOLY MOLY!!! This just came up in my suggested videos and I think it’s the most invested in a race I’ve ever been in my entire life!!! Hahaha! 😂 Right fellow viewers, please tell me all of the equipment I need to be able to do this. 😂
Might have been one of your best videos to date mate. Loved your enthusiasm in this race!
This won't go over well with the anti-pCars crowd.
Fuck em lol.. While the physics/feedback arent the best it's still fun to play with, if they don't like it then don't play or watch aha
@@BarbecuedPossum I think it's not about hating them because they're bad, but because they're advertised as the best etc pp - and no, that "it's just marketing bs anyway" argument doesn't count :P
@@theeeMitchi Yep, compared to iracing, ac/acc they're no chance the best lol.. Good point though they're not bad
Who cares?
It may not be the best simulator out there but as far as sims go it is easily the most accessible and easy to understand for both hardcore racing fans and casual fans alike.
I honestly don't know what was more exciting...the commentary or the race! Great video!
Suggestion: I had the same fogging problems as you Jimmer. I'm a sweaty BOI. I fixed it by getting a desk fan, air flow into my face and chest eliminated the fogging completely unless it's absolutely roasting hot.
Jamie McEwan great idea - I hated vr bc of fog issues, wish I’d have thought of a fan before sending it all back :( jimmer probably wouldnt be able to use a fan though, background noise being the issue
Great race, Jimmy! Your excellent driving and enthusiastic commentary really makes for great viewing. As always, well done.
Ironically that is my least favorite track to race on.
You really add flavor and excitement to these races. Quality content 👌
I need to inject this into my veins.
Back in the days, I used to race in endurance events on the GTP mod for NR2003. There were 4 chassis : Sauber C9, Jag XJR9, Toyota 89CV and Mazda 787B. The league was American, but the field was international and the level of skills all around was great. I remember a 12 hours race at Daytona (probably 2008) where we finished 2nd in a Merc after an epic fight with two scandinavian in a Jag. In 2009, I won the 24 hours of Le Mans with an American, an Australian, a Finn, a Hungarian and my French self :) It was the very first sim that allowed driver change and it was very epic indeed :) Raced a few Group C Enduros on rFactor as well, not quite as epic but pretty good as well.
Nascar 2003 was a real game changer
