Massive shoutout to the mechanics for trying everything possible to get the car ready and sorted for the second race. They can't all go to be plan, but we now at least know that we have the pace to compete with the cars around us!
Also thank you to everyone who said hello, or just came along to support me and Jem. It was pretty surreal to see so many of you there to cheers us on, so yeah, thanks for being awesome.

Was a pleasure meeting you Jimmy. Best of luck for the rest of the season
Happy birthday jimmer drink one for me 🔥
2:54 Jimmy, "The wire's fixed it." Narrator, "The wire did not fix it."
Crackin to see you Jimmy, I was there at 8 opposite your pits :)
jimmy you have said ' CHECKING THE MIRRORS MORE THAN A DRIVING INSTRUCTORS '
"I don't know why I'm hitting the wheel, it doesn't do anything."
I don't know why I have to lean forward on my couch to play video games, but I do it anyway.
same leaning forward behind the wheel to get better aero like WTF xD
You remember as a kid when it was all just consoles and you'd start in the middle of the room then in like 5 mins you realize you've scooted about 10 feet up and are now firmly planted 5 inches from the tv lol
I also trun my head when turning in hood view in 4x4 evo2
Don't forget the leaning into the corner to help the car turn in 👌🏻

I feel like a proud parent lol. Our Jimmer is a real racer. Keep it up my man
700K proud parents watching on
Imagine how his real parents feel
@@mowpa621 shedschooling
Real proud parents!
Unlucky for you guys but that move (at 23:40) was epic. When standing on the straight I thought you rubbed the wall it was soo close. Loved the whole experience. Well done nonetheless ❤️
ah yes, the infamous barichello move on schumacher
I was directly opposite when it happened to, I thought Jimmer was going in the wall, was spectacular to watch !! I could have sworn you had contact with the same car near the end of the race on exit of t1 ??
Yeah that move put a huge smile on my face. Actually the whole video did! I love the good spirits between with you and Jem and love these videos that come out of it too. If I wasn't stuck here in Canada, I'd make a flag for Jimmer in the stands too.
Hey, Jimmerino. New tshirt idea.
"I'm gonna give it a go, fuck it."
This one needs a boost to go up there.
YES 100%!
I know I would wear it 😏
hell yea
its the equivalent of "are you silly? im still gonna send it"
I’m calling it, the guy in the blue Porsche was Mahaveer
All hail Lord Rags
PTSD from him failing to perform a 3 point turn
Our Lord
SEAN GELEAL
@@Notaname21 hes just slow not a danger to others
That blue Porsche either didn't see Jimmer trying to make a move, or the driver is just a massive punt who cannot quite grasp the concept of multi-class racing.
Trurth to be told, motorsport fans love crashes so maybe he tried to kill Jimmer...imagine those headlights...''famous youtuber killed at Oulton Park''. That is MONEY so maybe he was hired by media?
@@Snoooo tomorrow's video: "how i was punterino'd by the associated press"
@@Snoooo Take off the tinfoil hat.
@@Snoooo grasping at straws are ya
Well he glad that it wasn't vettel that overlapping him or it'll be an entire different story
Never had so much fun watching blurry wavy disturbed video with VHS quality audio. Your voice overs from the cockpit camera are spot on and keep the whole content entertaining and thrill to watch.
Seems odd there wasn't a type of "Last chance to get onto the starting grid" announcement..
seriously what the hell kind of race were they running lol
Right? Anyone that has ever scheduled anything ever knows that you can’t move things earlier unless you give a ton of notice and get confirmation from all parties, you’re asking for people to miss your event otherwise
Britcar do things in the Britcar way, always have since they decided themselves that they were at Brit GT level
Between the late notice that qualifying was being extended and no notice of closing pit exit early, I get the distinct impression that communication isn't one of Britcar officials' strengths. Not a good look for what professes to be a professional series.
Yeah even at local national karting races schedule changes are announced in speakers many many times so everyone hears them
Jimmy you definitely do an emphasized upshift after a pass and it's like a little celebration.
If you don't enjoy the upshift after a pass you're doing it wrong...
That blue Porsche driver is an absolute fud. An accident waiting to happen.
On a more positive note, the improvement you’re showing is really pretty incredible. From tentatively nursing it round tracks to matching Jem’s pace (a Britcar champion!) and overtaking a former pro. Amazing.
Jem: "I'm gonna give it a go, fuck it!"
Jimmy's vids: "Never give up!" meme
Yeah, it seem's the team has a core philosophy and they are sticking to it XD
THIS is the BEST EPISODE you have ever posted!!!!!
I raced for 18 years, and hope to get back to it someday again....the day you had...Jem's can-do attitude...your hottest lap time(!)...
You WILL remember that day as a favorite, I promise. Not because of your results, but because of the journey it was. Overcoming obstacles together, marked improvement, the ORDER things happened (imagine...you start the day/race running perfect, setting excellent lap times, and THEN...mid race or later, things go downhill, and you wind up with a DNF)...I've had those days...yours was "the good kind" of bad luck/mishaps.
Cheers from America, Jimmer! So proud of you!!
At 23:45 To get past Mars he dives into the turn at high spend and then, "Heavy on the anchors". I've never heard that
term for hitting the brakes hard but I love it. You are fantastic Jimmy.
@Por Qué? he is not British.
@Por Qué? Nope, not British, but I wish I was.
@Por Qué? If he is American, he has already taken the 1 way conversion from brit to American.
Basically it happens when you get free guns and ditch the tea for coffee!
Even if you take away the guns and give them tea afterwards, they can't stop being Americans :D
@Por Qué? At least Jimmy hasn't said BLOODY NORAH yet...another Clarkson-ism
Way to respond to adversity in that second race! Unlapping yourself from that other Praga was awesome. Here's hoping Goldie is all sorted for next time, you and Jem have great pace together.
It's a testament to his level of skill that even starting a lap down, Jimmer was able to make his way through a crowded field of slower cars while staying calm and controlled and keeping his head. It's a shame the shifting issues kept him from being able to run a full race in anger.
Also lol for the Team America hand signal.
That part when you finished overtaking the 1 lap ahead car and start narrating the lap gave me goosebumps, really good content
I've seen Jem's take on the Oulton debacle. Can't wait to see your take on this Jimmer!
Where would I find that?
@@GespaantAnEntspaant Search Motorsport Woman on YT, that is Jem's channel
@@battlemore Thank you!
@@GespaantAnEntspaant you're welcome, even though it's been 7 months since you asked your question lol
I really think this has been your best performance so far Jimmer. In such a short time you’ve gained so much more confidence and commitment into the corners, and looking back at your first on boards from Silverstone and comparing them to here you look like a different driver. Unbelievable progress man - like everyone else has said, I feel like a proud parent watching this. It looked like you were driving how you drive in the Sim for the first time here, which is just awesome 🙌👍
23:44 one of the most passionate race track descriptions EVER! I love it.
It's a real shame, saw you were flying forward at the start of the race, really bloody good job from both of you.
Jimmer mentioned being referred to as a 'racing driver' as weird during his first interview. Post the first race I'm definitely listening to a racing driver.
Hey just remember the first race you where last and fought the whole field and passing a ex pro driver cuz he was slowing you down is an amazing problem to have
Almost cried at the commentated lap at 24:00, for some reason this felt like such an emotional video. Keep it up Jimmer and Jem!
'I'm gonna give it a go, fuck it'
god damn I love jem's spirit
i mean... i just love jem
That "love wins" sticker on the back of your car just made me love you even more dude.
You are like a hero to me and I live vicariously through you. That sticker means so much to me and my family.
Not gonna lie, when you passed Miles I got a little teared up. So cool to watch you do this man.
It's nice seeing Jimmy go from being super cautious in his first race to now being disappointed that he couldn't spend the whole time racing! Confidence is growing!
While you are in the middle of your experience, you might not fully notice.... But you have made sooooo muc progress since the first sessions with the Praga. Look at you overtaking those experienced drivers with the same car, outbraking and lining up the overtake a few corners before already. Great to see you being a genuine racing driver!!! So great!
That final overtake, and the way you narrate the lap after, legitimately the best TH-cam content I've seen in a long time. I was on the edge of my seat!
1:20 "Just a weeb it."

Jem woke up and chose violence. Loved watching her fight that race, was absolutely great stuff.
Wow you’re an actual racer now
right lol
Jimmy has always been an actual racer just not always in an actual car
Damn you're using Internet Explorer?
@@bengaughran1688 I like your thinking.
I am forever jealous that Jimmy is doing what he loves. I’ll get there someday
@@wombatgirl997 I will
Jealousy if used for motivation can be very good. Just remember to compare your progress with yourself from the past to see how much forward you actually got in your pursuits. Good luck.
@@MrGreenAKAguci00 thanks just gotta find a place to start in racing
@@stephentrout7879 thanks I will
@@JaredR1996 best place to start is karting mate, its where i started, its the cheapest, and very easy to get recognised if you go to the right places
Love the HUD, gives a proper insight into the car, thanks!
From a sim racer to full blown racing driver, you deserve it Jimbo, keep it up! We all support you!
That was an absolutely heroic stint in Race 2. We were watching it live and shouting at the TV to make Goldie go faster, as fans do. It's frustrating when things won't work when they should, but you and Jem and the team gave it your all and salvaged a great performance out of what could have been total disaster.
You can do this.
I know the race was a mess, and I'm sorry about that. but that was some of the best talking through the racing i've ever sat through at the start of the video. Thank you for that.
Totally agree. Everyone is concentrating on Jimmers awesome driving. I'm also amazed at how far his commentary should have come on. He's pro level commentary/punditry here.
Really fucking proud that you're living your dream my guy, but also, the way you commentate your own races really gives me a major vibe that you have Murrays excitement in your voice. You were made to race, but you were also made to commentate them by the way you do it.
Jimmy: CHANGE THE GEAR AAAAHHHH!!!
Car: I have a broken paddle
Camera: BRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Love the “never say die, stuck in gear five” attitude from Jem n Jimmer here lol
25:53 My biggest pet peeve in paddock: open tool drawers
1:07 “Go out with a Good” - Jimmer
the more i watch racing the more i realize that as a racer theres still only so much you can do if everything doesn't come together well. Your WHOLE team has to be spot on to be w the best and there's so many parts that make up the team. You got it Jimmer i can feel it the next ones gonna be yours to shine.
Jimmer the commentary on the second was legend! Was really good!
I love these videos Jimmer! You’re a great commentator/story teller and they give us non racers a superb insight into a race weekend with quality race craft!
The way you were smashing the upshift button shows so much passion, you're a fully fledged racing driver Jimmy. I'm so fucking proud and happy for you!
Jimmy is going to intro a new, fixed-gear class of racing. Hipsters will hate him.
As tragic as these circumstances are, it's stuff like this that makes for good, entertaining racing. The difficulties and the comebacks, the push and full of victory and frustration. The story and the passion. Great job Jimmy!
God seeing Jimmy in these cars and these races is just the most enjoyable to watch ever
TH-cam autoplay gave me this video when I was in the workshop with just the headphones... I particularly enjoyed the description of the lap at the end - great passion! Love the positive attitude when things aren't going right... it's good for you and those around trying to get things turned around.
That lap commentary was insane, I was on the edge of my seat the whole lap. Literally glued to the screen. Consider doing race commentary in the future man would watch F1 more if you voiced it.
This was gripping to watch. It's super exciting that you're in such a serious real car and your shoutcasting of your driving is awesome! Looking forward to watching you more, best of luck in the races!
Jimmy is really starting to get confident with racing now I wonder how good he’ll be after a year in the praga
Biggest problem for him is finding sponsors if praga doesn't want to renew his contract. TH-camr jaaames is an example. He did really good, but got ditched bcz no sponsors. Don't want it to end the same for second youtuber turned racer
@@vitorossi7839 2 differences one is he's Jimmy his job is to entertain people sponsor love that and two the Praga program is legit designed for people who arnt racing drivers jimmy is not the only one who had little experience starting the season. Praga sponsors that project.
@@vitorossi7839 I'd say the main difference is that Jaaames has 48K subscribers. Jimmy's channel is over 700K. That's massive in this niche. Jimmy is a media trained guy with a large audience, a documented track record of hard work and passion, and top racecraft and consistency for a pro-am series. I'd be shocked if he didn't find the needed sponsors to carry on.
@@gamesitwatch6287 i mean sponsors & media stuff is true, but james literally got a podium his 1st race. And still didn't manage to get any sponsor.
@@vitorossi7839 I don't understand what's going on here exactly with Brit Car and why Praga is taking such strange choice in drivers, but the only explanation is that this is marketing for them. Since Jimmy has a large channel I don't think he has anything to worry about.
Jeez, and it looked rough from where I was watching the race. You, Jem and the whole team deserve props for keeping Goldie going and putting up some serious racing out there. Me and my brother were set up at Knickerbrook (our Somalia flag briefly, blurrily visible during R2) and we both thought you put on a hell of a drive!
I love the enthusiasm in the commentary of your thoughts throught the lap and your braking points more of that please
Your channel is crushing it at the moment Jimmer. Such a broad mix of top class content.
for one gear our boy jimbo didnt pull an actual ayrton senna challenge.
was looking for this comment haha
Lol
what is this about (ayrton senna challenge)? missing smth here
@@arkenston4305 during one of his races in formula 1, during the brazillian grand prix, ayrton senna's car just lost all of its gears save for one. the 6th gear... he proceeded to drive the car to victory for... 2? 3? 4 laps? cant remember now. and then it was born years later in the sim racing world the challenge of racing with only the 6th gear or the "ayrton senna challenge".
@@sch3ffel That is absolutely depraved… I love it
I can't imagine how proud your mum must be watching you tear around a racetrack. Well done Jimmer. Living vicariously through your sim to IRL success is a good feeling, it must be that much sweeter going from a shed to a Praga. Sorry about the electrical issue, you'll get them next time out.
Watching you smash those corners while narrating what was going through your mind at that moment, even after many complications and frustrations, I got watery eyes, dude.
It's amazing how far you've come, and how quick you are making progress in the real cars. We're all so proud of you ♥
I tell you what, Jimmy, the weekend didn't go well, but you and Jem are gonna win one at some point, I'm sure of it.
And you're doing so well with this new style of content, it's brilliant. I love both your driving and your commentary during the fast lap where you were pulling away from that other Praga. Amazing stuff, I'm proud of you Jimmer 🙂
The amount you've improved over just watching these vids is amazing, and the overtake on Miles, while feeling faster, than an ex pro. No, being, faster than him. Just without words compared to the start man, absolutely well done.
You could have done a pro gamer move and binned it in the first corner and I would still say.. I am fucking proud of yah... Because I am.
Genuinely shocked and impressed at how well you’re doing in that car, Jimmy. You’re out there doing some proper racing and bringing the fight to more experienced racers.
The increased confidence in the car shows in the onboards (compared to the first race), he chugs it into corners as if it's natural now. Nice to see
Tbh the shaky cam is brilliant it shows how violent the car is and how hard it is how much frantic movement there is it’s awesome
"I'm gonna give it a go,fuck it."
-Jem Hepworth,2021
"I'm gonna give it a go; fuck it." Awesome.
Awful luck. I'm really looking forward to Jim and Jem taking out their frustration on the whole field at Silverstone.
And when they do make their first podium this year, I'd love to see videos of their fans cracking open a bottle of bubbly in their honor. I know I will be.
Our boy’s all grown up now. 😭
I feel like a proud parent and I don’t even know you. Happy tears, gents. Happy tears.
That commentary over a lap gave me goosebumps. Absolute class.
Well this was fucking epic. I know it didn't go to plan, but that's when we see the incredible mentality of both you and Jem. Seeing you both rag the hell out of that car makes me very happy.
Great racing jimmer, I was there watching from cascades all day getting roasted by the Saturday sun but it was worth it mate just to watch you battling on track. A podium will come soon for you 😉👍
this is insane, the comentating through the full lap not only makes me smile ear to ear, i almost shed a tear..
I watched this live and was absolutely gutted for both Jim and Jem.
Even though it didn't go to plan , Jimmer, you drive like a true GOAT once Goldie was working somewhat to potential.
I fucking adore you man, keep living the dream that so many of us wish we could live ❤
Those last flying laps and the battle with Miles were absolutely awesome. Don't be so harsh on yourself, you and Jem did all you could out there, great racing from both of you. Congratulations.
Just want to say Jimmy, you are a racing driver!! Your videos are awesome, it's great to see you going for it, being so enthusiastic and energetic. To go through those issues as well and remain so professional and not getting too caught up in it is great to see. Keep going!! Love watching!!!
It's easy to forget sometimes what a steep learning curve you've gone into this season Jimmy. For someone who struggled with confidence not so long back though, this is the prize for never giving up. There's no better race driver than the one with the ability to put their head down and just go at it. You are a shining example to anyone of what is possible, if you just keep going. Don't tell anyone, but I don't think Lewis Hamilton was at his best before the age of 30 😉
It's so nice to watch a race with a nice commentary. I'd love to see more of these
Amazing performance man! We are so proud!
That was a great and seamless transition from a really good pass into a highly detailed lap analysis. I loved that
The storytelling and narration in this video was incredible. I was glued to the screen.
Hard to believe this guy started out in a shed streaming and making videos on racing sim video games. Just goes to show there is hope for all of us with our passions.
How

man!
All the support to you, mad lad.
Your commentary during this vid and especially starting at 23:30 is really amazing (and your racing too of course).
That's what i call Man on a Mission when Jimmy started to catch up to Miles and even bloody get past him through the inside with a damn squeeze as well.
This makes me remember of that fantastic race in Canada by Jenson Button: 2 laps down, in last place, and won the race. And I think this is the same thing: watching what happened in race 1 and the start of race 2, I think this is kinda what JB did back in the day.
Continue like this Jimmer! Always get better from one race to the other!
"i gotta do my mum proud" jimmy. i can guarantee you know matter what happens in the race, seeing you in that race car she is already proud af xD
What a crazy race. So proud of you, Jimmy!
I'm loving this IRL last to first challenge
So good to see you passing through the field Jimmer!!! Makes me so proud to see the progress over the last year and half.
I had a similar thing happen to me on a motorcycle and it was tough to stay in a high gear. We ended up pushing through and doing pretty well for us. Tough break, you adapted really well!
As I said on Jem's video, I think you guys need to push for some kind of investigation into how Britcar are handling the races and the communication with your team, because every time so far you've had some miscommunication from Britcar that has set you guys back and caused problems for you.
As the saying goes "Once is an accident, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action," and sure whilst I don't think they are specifically being biased against you guys, there are clear problems with how Britcar are running the show and it needs to be addressed.
Any case, Well done Jimmer and Jem, you guys gave it your best despite everything trying to go wrong for you. Here's to hoping things work out come the next race and we can get to see you on the podium.
Despite the unfortunate events of that weekend, I love to hear in your commentary how passionate you are whether your doing well or not, great to see!
jimmy your whole you tube story is amazing and inspiring my friend where you have came from to where you are today keep up the great work
Its crazy seeing jimmy IRL racing a actually mini LMP1 car.
Goldie's turbo spool sounds pretty damn sweet on the top end
Great racing! Sorry it didn’t go as planned but all things considered you did awesome!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Jimmy thank you for the mention it was me who interviewed you.i didnt know it was your first ever it was mine too you did great
My man is really doing it! 😭
Whole sim community rooting for you 🤙🏿
Those overtakes were epic Jimmer! your confidence in Goldie has soared and man it shows. A real contender, no shed dweller.
