That happens all the time in racing games, even arcade games. In Test Drive Solar Crown i was in ranked against a BMW z4 gt racer. I can imagine in real sims there's a ton of real drivers
Ben Collins and Mat Armstrong collabs are always super fun videos. Both of you have given me so much entertainment recently, I'm so grateful for your work 🙏
Little did Jimmy Broadbent know, that when Ben said "I'll get you next time!" it will be in the sim once he's practiced enough. ;) Will be fun to see your progress!
This has made my day. A childhood hero plus the one of the sims I spend way too much time in. Your going to love it. The fact you jumped straight out, took one breath to straighten the motion wobbles, then instantly went hunting for Matts best time tells it all 😀
Great video Ben, instant like and subscribe from me. Quite a few sim racers are finding seats in real race cars as you know, but you going the other way with it is fascinating, with all your knowledge and insight from wrestling the real things. I look forward to following your journey!
Big fan of Matt's channel, it's really awesome watching your channel aswell 😂, very fun episode. Would be fun to watch you two sim race on a little more serious level
I love how Ben truly wants Mat to get into racing because he sees the potential there. Would be great to watch Ben take Mat under his wing and get him to the next level in terms of racing.
Really enjoyed that Ben, Matt is a great sport and I didn’t even realise he was a sim racer! Really interested to see how you get on as I’ve I’ve been sim racing for 5 months and am really getting into it 👍🏻
Bloody love these Videos Ben ... Especially the fact your my Racing Hero and I come from Plymouth in the mother land and live in New Zealand with such a huge Racing scene down here..Even better i race Assetto Corsa Competizione constantly...Great new Channel mate
Awesome! I remember I was pretty good on Gran Turismo 4 on PS3 (played GT1, GT2, GT3 a lot on PSX, PS2)... but it was with a controller... Then a friend got a chair, wheel, pedals (this was in like 2005'ish so no moving chairs... just a force feedback wheel)... And I tried it, and I just had to start over all again... knew the tracks and cars pretty well... but turning with a controller even though analogue is pretty fast with a thumb/finger from full left to full right with a force feedback wheel it takes forever so... I had to drive in a total different way. So it sort of went from "Arcade" fun to actually have to brake before the corner and do minimal corrections (with the stick you could correct much faster with a bad brake, or too much speed)... Anyway... it took sometime to get used to (I had a force feedback wheel before that I played with on the PC though, so I was familiar with it) and relearn how to drive in GT4... Would love a setup like this...
Fantastic fun video mate! Some filthy driving going on there 😄 If you fancy a different challenge some time... Check out LA Canyons on the original Assetto Corsa. Miles of canyon roads featured on 'The Smoking Tire' videos. Careful though, there are no run-offs or gravel traps, if you go off you're 500ft down a cliff (might hurt in those rigs)!
I have a lot of respect for everyone who sim races. My friend beats me all the time on his sim racing rig even using the same car as my race car on the same track that's near his house. In real life, I set a faster lap time in the same car at the same track. I want a sim racing rig but my wife will only entertain one money pit at a time.
Mat definitely needs some teaching when it comes to proper racing on a track. He’s definitely got some ability but he has no fear, so pushes it beyond the limits. I think because of the mentality he has had to have to perform the tricks on a bmx there is an inability to let off. I think if you can teach him to control his red mist then he could do really well. If he can learn the cars boundaries and stick to them, he will see his driving improve tenfold. A few solid lessons with yourself will make him a really good driver both on and off the track👍🇬🇧
Driving a car around an airport is not "proper racing on a track" and they're using road cars IRL - road cars have shit brakes, shit suspension, shit tyres and they're set up shit.
Ben, you're such a cool guy to watch you have fun and not take things seriously. Can't wait for content on this channel. I already love your main one, with all the cool cars you drive, keep up the great work. 🫡
Would love to see Matt add VR to these rigs and go for another round. The immersion of VR along with the motion would be killer to see. Ben's stomach may not agree however!!
Ben, you should try out a sim rig but with a VR headset on. I'd love to hear your feedback on that. These sim rigs look really good but are ruined by flat screens
Me and my step daughter would love to have a go on your sim, she’s a race photographer and really wants to get in to grass racing, this would give her a massive insight into fast cars, she drives a Mazda 2 🤣🤣
Mat is far more concerned about virtual car damage than real ones.
Imagine being these other players not knowing they are racing the stig 😂 that's the best
Some say... 😂

Very true!
The stig needs to be on tv more. Love this guy. Great video guys. , inspired to attempt racing ,
Seeing Mat coach Ben on the simulator was not the outcome I was expecting 😆- Congrats on the new channel, Ben!
You're a big part of why I started sim racing all those years ago, Sir Stig... It's incredible to see you diving into sim driving!
Thank you - it's gonna take me some time to catch up but I'm getting there.... !
@@BenCollinsDrivesAssetto corsa 1 has lots of mods as in tracks, cars and enviromental mods, which u can’t get in ACC.
Cheers Ben
Ben, you & matt are youtube GOLD❤
Good luck with your channel brother💪
It almost feels wrong calling the stig a youtuber but your up there with the best. A joy to watch. Good luck with the channel
Yes! Well spoken, loves video games and obviously isn't too bad irl. Legend ❤
Little did Jimmy Broadbent know, that when Ben said "I'll get you next time!" it will be in the sim once he's practiced enough. ;)
Will be fun to see your progress!
he'll soon find out ;)
I was in that Porsche! I remember that pink McLaren racing the other McLaren ! NO WAY I RACED STIG😳😳
Suuuure buddy
Cool 👍 there's a claim to fame 😊
This was super fun to watch! Great collab 😅
This has made my day. A childhood hero plus the one of the sims I spend way too much time in. Your going to love it. The fact you jumped straight out, took one breath to straighten the motion wobbles, then instantly went hunting for Matts best time tells it all 😀
That was great! Always up for watching some good racing. Good luck with the new channel 🏆
Now this is gaming
That was so much fun to watch! Brilliant setup Mat.
This is fantastic. Looking forward to what this channel has to offer in the future.
I will happily watch every step of your sim racing journey, so cool to see an OG irl racer hop in the sim
Great video Ben, instant like and subscribe from me. Quite a few sim racers are finding seats in real race cars as you know, but you going the other way with it is fascinating, with all your knowledge and insight from wrestling the real things. I look forward to following your journey!
Hilarious 😂, great to watch, and well played Ben 👏
Thanks 👍
Enjoy your time gaming! 🕹️ very different to your usual videos but very natural! 🥳
Instant subscribe. Thank you Ben!! Just what I needed to see tonight.
Awesome! Thank you!
One is the Stig, the other one a great grandchild of the first man on the moon. Amazing!
Are you serious?
Those rigs are amazing!
Awesome work man! Sim Demon mentioned to me that you were jumping in the world of sim racing! Looking forward to the next video already!
Great video these two always a laugh! Really like how Ben is the sequential gear stick and Matt using the flappy paddles😂
Glad you enjoyed!
Big fan of Matt's channel, it's really awesome watching your channel aswell 😂, very fun episode. Would be fun to watch you two sim race on a little more serious level
Ben "Its quite bumpy, especially with contact" Mat tells him AFTER "Your rig may be 100%" 😂
I love how Ben truly wants Mat to get into racing because he sees the potential there. Would be great to watch Ben take Mat under his wing and get him to the next level in terms of racing.
Really enjoyed that Ben, Matt is a great sport and I didn’t even realise he was a sim racer!
Really interested to see how you get on as I’ve I’ve been sim racing for 5 months and am really getting into it 👍🏻
Mr Collins. Grew up watching you (just never knew it was you)
Will continue to do so!
Love from South Africa
Bloody love these Videos Ben ... Especially the fact your my Racing Hero and I come from Plymouth in the mother land and live in New Zealand with such a huge Racing scene down here..Even better i race Assetto Corsa Competizione constantly...Great new Channel mate
what a world we live in, brilliant stuff guya
100% name and shame.. bang out of order mate!
Love the content Ben! My new favorite TH-camr full stop.
Subscribed on this one, the first video I've watched on Stig's new racing channel.
Glad to see this finally happen! Can't wait to get involved, Ben! 👊💀🏁 #keepitcartel
Man I'm so excited to see how this channel plays out
Nice one to launch this channel! Try it with vr some time, im curious what your experience will be in vr vs. Screens. Cheers!
Ben, seeing you used that sequential shifter make me want to see a early 2000s gt1 race between you, mat and Jimmy, would be an event for sure
Wow, I enjoyed this! I'd really like to try this myself.
This is a great idea, get that gaming in. Didn't know you were involved with PC1&2 that's cool.
This was amazing Ben. More fun that F1 these days!!!

I really enjoying
Matt and stig videos
Like the contents
Please do more video with matt and his friends
Definitely had to subscribe to this, looking forward for the next video soon ❤
This is so brilliant to watch ..I can't stop laughing 😅
"there's some bad driving in front of me." Welcome to ACC Stiggy
Looking forward to seeing what you do on here sir :-) and if you let anything slip about gtr revival ;-). Best of luck with the channel too.
a gaming channel as well, you really want this youtube life :) I am here for it. next up ben colins IRL Vlog back story
My old man would of loved these
Matt picking on the Stig is hilarious 😂
Sim racing is the best. Great vid
That was class, those sims are intense 😂
A history of racing games video done with your style would be epic.
Please more videos like this! Great video! 👌
Outstanding both of you 😀
Absolutely class lads
I have a lot of respect for everyone who sim races. My friend beats me all the time on his sim racing rig even using the same car as my race car on the same track that's near his house.

Definitely. He thinks pure attack always wins. He says so himself.
Very entertaining video, please keep posting and this will take off, too! So when are you doing the Nordschleife? ;)
Ben using a stick to shift gears in a paddle shift car game. unreal what a legend
Looking forward to the new content great to see the stig on a SIM.....
Really surprising setting of the motion system. Usually they do the opposite of what we are seeing in this video under braking and acceleration
Subbed, best of luck!
Ben, you're such a cool guy to watch you have fun and not take things seriously. Can't wait for content on this channel. I already love your main one, with all the cool cars you drive, keep up the great work. 🫡
Awesome Sim setup
Love watching your vlogs Matt but you gotta do something about that friggin laugh!
Would love to see Matt add VR to these rigs and go for another round. The immersion of VR along with the motion would be killer to see. Ben's stomach may not agree however!!
That's what I think. Get in VR. They'll never go back
Wait ... Ben has a gaming channel ... Sweeeet
That was very entertaining 😂
Ben, you should try out a sim rig but with a VR headset on. I'd love to hear your feedback on that. These sim rigs look really good but are ruined by flat screens
I have acc and a good rig set up, to jump in and drive like you did on such a challenging game ….wow 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Thank you 👍
Awesome stuff, I can tell my mates I'm fast than the Stig😁
awesome Da sting &Matt Armstrong racing co 🎉 awesome.
THE Stig! The one and ONLY STIG!
Welcome to the world of gaming Ben ♥️ edit: Wait he worked in Project Cars!!! How did I not know that!
Yes - PCARS 1, 2 and 3 - plus working on another 'game-changer' with Ian Bell and Straight4 Studios which is gonna b epic
Awesome stuff, Ben! How did you like driving in Assetto Corsa Competizione?
I do a spot of sim racing myself. Would love to do a race with these guys! I wouldn't win but the experince alone would be great fun!!
If only I could fit that lot under my stairs😂 but I love my little sim hub.
Nobody was behind you Matt 😂😂😂
Sim racing this is deffo where Mat should stay, when he crashes it won’t cost him anything
Reporting for duty 🫡 Best of luck with the new channel. I will be looking forward to following your journey 💪🏻
You could have at least given him 12 minutes of practice 😂😂😂😂
a sim race would seem the most economical way considering Armstrongs recent crash records. Instead of Armstrong he could call him self Heavyfoot.
Id love to have a go on this! we lost our side by side rig over covid and this is what we should have been doing by now!
stig seems way nicer then I ever thought watching top gear growing up haha
Take Mat to NBR in his pink Gt3, that would be great, you are the OG!
🤣Get in there Ben!
You need to get a vr headset set up with that, not that I have any kind of racing sim but would be pretty sick
the stig just had a sim racing rig delivered today.
We need to get Hammond involved😂😂
That was awesome :)
Glad you liked it!
Old school racing drivers who have been there seen it all like the collins is pretty cool tbf
Me and my step daughter would love to have a go on your sim, she’s a race photographer and really wants to get in to grass racing, this would give her a massive insight into fast cars, she drives a Mazda 2 🤣🤣
That looks asome.😊
You're having way too much fun when you don't realize you're chasing P1 😅
At least is not expensive if you crash on the sim Mat 😂🤭
Just amazing game play
Hi Ben, I have the same simple G29 set up.... have you played GT7 with it and if you have, what wheel setting have you?
