Hi Jimmy! I am the Team Principal (and a driver) of Random Vandals Racing. iRacing did the operational and data review with us at Sebring earlier this year. It was great to work with the iRacing team, and we are very fortunate to have them add our livery as a factory iRacing option. I completely agree with you on the surreal aspect of having a car you race in real life now on the sim! Enjoy! Meanwhile, we head to Barber Motorsports Park tomorrow for the SRO weekend there. We will have three entries in GT4 America (AM/ProAM/Silver) and one in GT World Challenge America GT3 (PRO). All our cars are fitted with rear view cameras 😉.
Hi Jimmy, Dario, the engineer from Cerny here. I checked the data from our Cerny M4 GT4 at the 24h race, and we hit 283.5 km/h on the straight, which is 20 km/h faster than your speed in the sim car. I’m really looking forward to driving this car in iRacing. Since I’m only the engineer, I don’t really get to drive the real thing-I’ve only driven it to the pre-starting positions. by the way I have no idea how you can talk and drive and still do it well Hope you’re doing well :)
@@amarokdcs1062 yes I know, I compared the sp8t spec to the one in the game to know how big of a difference it is to the car he drives normally. From sp8t spec to gt 4 spec is a really big gap in power
from a guy in a shed talking about depression to a race driver entertainer , commentator and content creator, you showed us all how its done!, thank you jimmy for all the hours of entertainment, for the serious talk, and for showing us how anyone can do it,!. i wish you all the best sincerely
Your ability to talk and race with skill at the same time always astonishes me. I remember years ago you coming into Lotus 79 races I was in. I remember you being fast but a bit wild, but man, you have improved so much. Your career now is (I believe) the most successful in sim racing content makers. You have created your own direction in life, which is about the coolest thing in the world.
"Your ability to talk and race with skill at the same time always astonishes me". I think you're not the only one... Explains why people with potentially very expensive repair bills privilege the Jimmer with invitations. He is exciting to watch and one of the great real time racing orators.
Yeah, this is pretty cool. In GT7, I just used a GT4 BMW with your livery does the job for me lol. From shed sim boi to racing in the real thing and having your team car in iracing. Not bad for a former shed dweller. You’ve come a long way Jimmy. Congratulations.
DUDE!!! You used to live in a shed out back. You have come so damn far and seeing you appreciate all the things that have been made possible by you being who you are. You're a short, big bonk headed sim nerd who made it to racing for fucking real!!! That's some Hallmark movie shit. Congrats my man. Keep it up
Jimmer take in the fact that only a few years ago you were driving cars for the first time in real life that you have spent 100s of hours racing them in sim. But now you’re driving a car for the first time in the sim that you have spent 100s of hours of seat time in real life…. Absolutely mental and so fun to watch your journey over the years
From racing with a car virtually, to racing with a car in real life, to racing virtually with a car you race with in real life. That's the full circle of the simracer.
I cannot remember exactly when but the iRacing Devs did update ABS a few seasons back so that it didn't impact lap time when you went into it compared to no ABS, which is why you probably didn't notice any time loss when pushing into that zone. However they did make it so that the tyres have more degradation when you go into ABS so I'm not sure how realistic that is.
@@quuub5089 How does ABS heat up the tire? Locking up creates a lot more heat (and a flat spot) from the skidding over the asphalt instead of rolling. You're right that locking up the brakes stops putting heat in the brakes itself, but locking up to avoid brake heat is silly.
@@SrApathy33 it is very silly and doesnt make sense in real life at all, thats why abs also works in irl. but it does in iracing and thats why you dont use abs
@@SrApathy33 technically, the tire operates best at an "optimal slip." So if the ABS is tuned for maximum deceleration, it means it's actually very slightly and constantly scrubbing the tires under braking, where a human would very rarely be able to consistently hit that optimal slip regime, and would be either braking heavily but NOT slipping, or locking them up. So there is some potential realism to ABS causing more tire heating than non-ABS. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that iRacing is doing the correct amount of heating, or that the performance degredation at the correct amount of heating is realistic. Just that... theoretically at least, it's not nonsense
It's so great and refreshing to see the genuine look of happiness and joy on your face as you simply talk about the car and your experiences, and the way the sim brings back memories of real life moments in your races!
So happy for you, Jimmy. For every single aspect you achieved and experienced about sim racing and real life racing. So happy to have met you behind the pits at the 24h Nürburgring. Much love.
I think the most obvious part of how natural the muscle memory looks to have picked up, is how you instinctively miss the curb after the foxhole despite the fact iRacing is yet to rescan it that made me chuckle
Awesome insight Jimmy, thanks for this! Absolutely insane to see you come full circle and go from real life back to sim, your insight on this is 2nd to none. You confirmed what I have thought for a while of all sims though - that they're just a bit too on edge. You don't drive like that in real life, but it's the way you have to drive to be fast in a sim. I guess the big difference is pressing and holding escape vs hurting yourself and footing a very large bill, hard to avoid that no matter how realistic your sim is!!
As someone who races a completely different style or discipline of racing, I race Late Model Stock Cars IRL & I have to say they sound amazing almost spot on but they drive nothing like they do IRL. However I think it's due to the tire model mainly plays a huge part in that you typically feel really tight in those cars in sim and loose off corner exit due to running a low brake bias the sim not knowing the difference between corner entrance & corner exit. Its a trick many Oval drivers manipulate in fixed races to make the car faster. I have 100% club on iRacing however I generally avoid road because the cars feel like their skating around the track like their never really connecting rubber to pavement properly. I avoid some of the Oval stuff specifically ARCA & Gen 4 Cup for that same reason and as of recently the Street Stocks. Hopefully in 2025 we will get a better tire model and iRacing will revolutionize again making the sim more realistic moving closer to 2030 when I think a lot of gaming will be changing at a rapid rate. Anyways just my 2 cents to add more narrative to the subject because I am no content creator lol.. But I enjoyed your insight on something I never have driven and could learn a little bit about it through sim & through what you had to say, I always wonder what others who drive IRL think about their cars in sim vs reality.
Hey Jimmy just want to say congrats on everything that has happened this year so far and it is amazing to see you so happy you seem to be totally beaming happiness in this video
I just did my first 4 hour Nordschleife race in the old M4 last week on iracing. Seeing Jimmy overall happy with the new M4. Makes me excited to get it and start practicing for next months Round of Nordschleife Endurance Championship.
So cool to see this come into life in iRacing and you doing the reverse of the usual. Must feel like a life goal achieved, all fully deserved 🥺 hoping for even bigger flights and that you have a lot of fun driving it around in both iRacing and irl
Jimmer, my apologies, I know this is an old discussion, but I need to know. What is the feeling of the brake pedal like in the M4 irl? Is the travel long, short, progressive in feel or very linear? Or can it be adjusted to the drivers' preferences? BTW, Congrats on becoming a dad!
I found my way into the NEC series this year just as prep for my first N24....7 out of 7 races later SOLO! The NEC races are great fun solo or with a team!
James Baldwin said the same thing about the sound as well. Apparently iRacing used an old sound engine and they've said that they will update their sound engine to deliver more accurate sounds in the future. I hope they update this car aswell, i just love the sound
@@Real_CAM22b I mean you may well be right but back in 2018 when I first started following Jimmy, the idea he'd become an actual race driver seemed impossible and yet here we are.
Braking in iracing is still cooked imo. You should be able to smash the pedal as hard as you want for the initial brake and not lock a wheel. Its also so damn hard to unlock a lock up
Hi Jimmy. Most simulators have the same mistakes and shortcomings. The real sound for cars. The sounds are so strange in Assetto Corsa as well as in Forza motorsport. I also watch LMP and WTCC races on TH-cam, and I don't really have a problem with the refinement of the cars in the games, but I'm not satisfied with their engine sounds.

Shouted at in iRacing.... Seems that's all people do nowadays 😅 Fair play for what you do and have accomplished, keep being humble and keep racing hard.... The pass in the brustag was fucking awesome btw
@@Jimmy_Broadbent I know this is late - But in the iRacing manual says this: " TC SETTING The position of the traction control switch determines how aggressively the ECU cuts engine torque in reaction to rear wheel spin. Ten positions are available: Settings 2-10 range from least intervention/sensitivity (position 2) to the highest intervention/ sensitivity (position 10) while position 1 disables the traction control completely. More intervention will result in less wheelspin and less rear tire wear but can reduce overall performance if the traction control is cutting engine torque too aggressively and stunting corner exit acceleration. Unless the DSC system is set to “TC”, this setting is non-adjustable and will automatically set to a predetermined value."
Your comments at the end about how going from irl to sim you lose some physical inputs reminds me of when Ben Collins came to you for sim advice, as i believe he was having the same issue.
I know iRacing is a totally different type of game a different focus, but its kinda crazy how much more detailed the GT7 car models are. It's such a huge difference, but then iRacing has always been more about the physics and more recently damage modeling, etc. Great video Jimmy!
iRacing has a tendency to be a little more vague like you said Jimmy, than the real thing is. I've been fortunate in my career to race many of the cars on the sim. I even aided with the development a touch for the LMP3.
It's cool we live in times that a real driver can say that a sim is pretty close to real life. In all the gaming I have done with computers this is by far the most challenging. I own a 23 BMW m240i xDrive in real life. So I always pick the M4. I am a BMW fanboy. I have had 5 of them. 😀
I love everything you represent Jimmer! You are my middle finger to all the nay-sayers who said it couldn't be done. I tried and failed, but you proved it could be done! Good on ya!
Hey Jimmy! I'm using an R16 and when I adjust my in game FFB in iRacing I'm usually in the 8.0-10.5 range. What's your Moza Pithouse FFB output? 100% with your R21?
I think you just needed to turn the force feed back up a bit. You went to the black box and the auto was lit up. On the top right you could see it was barely getting to 20%
Jimmy try some tuning in pithouse if you can add some weight in the Iracing setup menu hope you can get the car really close to feeling the same. Maybe you can you share the settings on your pithouse & Iracing along with the car set. I would like to drive the car knowing hey this is as close as we can get to the real deal feels dont even care if its slow to other sets just want that authentic
Maybe the fact that it's a bit more challenging than the real life car is a good thing. It could lead to you having more confidence in the real thing. Just a hypothesis.
Hi jimmy, what do you think of haptic systems for simracing or belt systems to simulate g-forces? Could be cool to feel the weight of the car more in that way if it’s not a gimic for inertia
I've never seen an MDM vs TC setting in iracing before. What does MDM stand for? And what button on the Fanatec M4 steering wheel is that set to? The TC Cut button?

Jimmy: We blur the dash in our irl car to not give away our settings
Also Jimmy: We usually use these settings for our tc
lol
I was about to post a comment asking why they always blur it, now i know haha. Thanks!
In truth, nobody runs more than TC1 in race conditions unless it's really greasy and/or tires are baked.
He was careful not to say how much faster their car is on the straight in comparison tho.
Heheh I noticed that too...always competitive @@treefittyy9731
I seem to remember Jimmer saying they blur the dash in videos because it's got a Fanatec label on it, and of course, Jimbo's sponsored by Moza.

Maybe you can you share the settings on your pithouse & Iracing along with the car set. I would like to drive the car knowing hey this is as close as we can get to the real deal feels dont even care if its slow to other sets just want that authentic
I love your enthusiasm. 😎🏁
Maybe the fact that it's a bit more challenging than the real life car is a good thing. It could lead to you having more confidence in the real thing. Just a hypothesis.
What version is better I racing or raceriom?

Amazing video jimmy
yesssssss very cool well done
I bet the immersion is a bit better in the real one. Not sure though, haven’t tried it myself
Maybe try beating your real life record with the same car in sim. The difference would be interesting to see :)
Hi jimmy, what do you think of haptic systems for simracing or belt systems to simulate g-forces?
Could be cool to feel the weight of the car more in that way if it’s not a gimic for inertia
heh Okayama (long) MX5's was also my first iRacing experience! Just a lot shorter ago :p
As a South African myself, I am often on SA servers, so I know what you mean by angry south african man lol

Stream and video in the same week? What is this 2020?
8:50 the big BMW meme is back
5:43 you definitely died here 😂
I've never seen an MDM vs TC setting in iracing before. What does MDM stand for? And what button on the Fanatec M4 steering wheel is that set to? The TC Cut button?
