Assetto Corsa - How Fast Can Senna's Lotus 98T Lap The Nordschleife?

[@dickyp1]

jackie stewart said that you never walk away from this track feeling like you did a perfect lap...

[@joshjackburns]

I did, in a sim, I somehow didn’t spin or let off at the wrong times causing me to do a 6:23.536 in a C9 Sauber, best fun I’ve ever had has been on the Nordschliefe 100% !!

[@unclewong1803]

@@joshjackburns not spinning is not a perfect lap, in this track no matter what, there is always time to be found. U need to be an absolute robot to do a perfect lap

[@legm5298]

@@unclewong1803 Agreed

[@zeta5155]

@@unclewong1803 let the man enjoy his lap time if he feels it’s perfect it is for him

[@Jerry_1293]

For sure. As a German I lapped the Nordschleife in my several cheap rubbish cars (because I am not rich). And for sure. Nevermind which car you take there, for sim or in real live. Nevermind if you had 50 hp, or 500 hp this track is going to scare you to death, frighten you, make you happy, make you sweat, and make you feel like a hero and a blithering idiot at the end of the day at the same time. This track is the ultimate test for car and driver. If the car has technical issues of any kind they will show off. If you as a driver had any health issues, they will show off. If you had a little sneeze and a sprained ankle in the morning, you will have a heavy cold and a broken leg in the evening. So better get there in a good mood with a perfect car, if you are not a good driver. There is allways a towtruck and an ambulance constantly lapping the ring and they are only around if someone needs assistance.

[@JamesMossR33]

A beast! I was at Paul Ricard in '86. Senna retired from the race and walked past the grandstand in front of us. I'll always remember him smiling and waving as he headed back to the pits.

[@zaheerkader7426]

MrChops awesome story 👍🏿

[@Il_Dutur]

Thank you Sir, for the recollections.

[@gredangeo]

Damn. Your voice just sounds like you do racing commentary full time. Well fitting, and enthusiastic too.

[@casual35]

Agreed. He should become one. He already has a fan base.

[@projectjt3149]

casual35 he sort of has a career with DriveTribe

[@dj7oya]

I'd prefer a silent video tho

[@brenocostateixeira]

Agreed! He's great!

[@caverntaylor4773]

Watching you wrestle Senna's beast is just everything in sim racing

[@SPEEDMAX_DET]

u wot

[@rodgersb1248]

Cavern Taylor 😳😳😳

[@MalminOG]

Wish we could enjoy the engine noise more, someone keeps on talking over it.. E: :) (added the smiley face so everyone knows I wasn't super cerial)

[@projectjt3149]

Would've been cooler if we could see an aerial camera view of the car. Seeing these cars do powerslides and "dance" in the straights is AWESOME

[@chrissss696]

I can barely keep this car straight in 4th and he just flies out of corners in 2nd

[@No_Po_Racing]

A question of setup. It is possible to find a smooth setup even for this car which allows more traction

[@benfennell6842]

It's mostly just throttle control When you understand the power comes from a turbo bigger than most cars engines

[@No_Po_Racing]

@Andy KA sorry but it doesn't work very well, you can watch my videos Best regards 🏁🏁🏁

[@No_Po_Racing]

@Andy KA Yes, Senna was on of the best and it is almost blasphemic, that some sim dude's (including me) will measure with him. I totally know and understand that, but I can't drive with his technique in the 98T because the boost pressure declines too rapidly, which costs a lot of time... Keep on racing 🏁🏁🏁

[@dakkan5433]

Ben T. Senna knew how to handle it lol, absolutley threw the car about

[@ale-lp]

I love watching you drive these manual turboed beasts! Keep this series going :D

[@_.king9._102]

Jimmy. The compassion you have for this sport and your community is inexplicable. Thank you for everything.

[@somenascarpitmonkey50ncwts90]

Dude, I don’t understand how you can drive like this AND do commentary! You are a god sir!

[@chrisg.2962]

when you find out 5 bar is 72 pounds of boost you could power a small house with that

[@murpyeddie1139]

My Uncle visited the 86 Race at Estoril and had a chance to talk with the Mechanics. They told him that they run the Qualifying with a sealed off Wastegate. So basically the Boost on the Q engine was even higher. Nobody really know how high, same goes for the HP figure then ofc.. Thats for Senna only, team mates always had to run the Race engine.

[@chrisg.2962]

Good god so there could be even more power to be had...so what city do we power next

[@murpyeddie1139]

Stick a Dynamo instead of a gearbox at the back of the Engine.

[@ubbgn]

These cars made 1500HP on qualifying trim! F1 was spectacular with these cars!

[@jasperfk]

Boost was so high during quali you were unlikely to get more than 3-4 laps out of one unit.

[@IKillzZzombies]

"I've got my foot to the floor in 1st gear" "Nothing" "Nothing" "Nothing" "Nothing" "Nothing" "Nothing" "Nothing" "𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗦𝗧" Lmao gets me even more than a year later Jimmer

When the V-Tec kicks in...

[@dmitri546]

Nothing Nothing Nothing *BOOST* *ALL THE BOOST* tree

[@IKillzZzombies]

@LeGM yes. Just watch some videos with boosted civics or 1000+hp supras and gtrs.

[@IKillzZzombies]

[@legm5298]

Just like in the Peugeot 205 gti T16

[@jg1lipfert961]

I exhausted just watching this one.

[@charanko2971]

OMG that was like wrestling a bear while trying to give it a manicure.

[@mtlnascarfan]

It's absolutely amazing how you're able to keep a running commentary going while you're driving. You are the ONLY KZbinr I know that can do that. I see a career in F1 commentary in your future, Jimmy! Cheers from Montreal, Canada!!

[@the_arm_bar]

Absolutely amazing of you to keep it together whilst being entertaining. keep it up!

[@naufalkusumah2192]

How can you do commentary while still managing a pretty decent lap in that car at the same time? I'm sure you can shave 3-4 secs when you're just focused on driving

[@rileyhorsepool6659]

Lets appreciate jimmers skill! He is driving one of the hardest cars to drive at one of the hardest tracks whilst commentating and doing a really good lap. Legend!

[@mortenmortensson6571]

Cars I'd like to see lap the Nordschleife: Porsche 917/30 Ferrari f40 Ferrari 312T LaFerrari, Porsche 918, McLaren P1 (Maybe in one big special episode?) Lotus 49 McLare f1 gtr McLaren mp4/13

[@rolandilosvay9470]

I'd like to add the Ferrari 250 gto and McLaren Senna, when it's gonna be in the game

[@MrKusoyaro]

There is a pretty good mod for it so..

[@knivulf]

Finally it happened, been requesting this for months :D my favority track and favorite car combo! You did great, my weakness in this setup is i fall out of turbo range way to often, and I havent mastered heel toe yet.

[@crby101]

Spent the last hour and a half watching live formula one helmet cams... this game looks better and is more exciting to watch than any of them. We live in a simulation.

[@calaiscruiser]

I absolutely commend your driving abilities as I could not apply that level of driving concentration and simultaneously provide commentary. You sir are a champion!

[@Noreceipts400]

A great car for explaining understeer, oversteer and turbo lag to anyone who doesnt already know. I love it.

[@slackjaw703]

Didn’t realize I was holding my breath until you crossed the line. I can’t imagine the experience in VR! Another awesome video Jimmy, appreciate it immensely!

[@jameslloyd1423]

Loving the series and the content jimmer!!! One of the iconic cars been thrashed round here is always fun to watch. Watching you got me into sim racing albeit no so good atm but seeing you enjoying making the content not just for the shorter videos but for the streams too is always great to see. Long may we see you on here!!!!!

[@fredsalfa]

Thats amazing you can drive a manual car so fast and provide expert commentary at the same time !

[@Zordy21]

I was using this in project cars 2 and I was so blown away! 3.5 bar of boost?!? That's so much! Then I watched this and realised my boost was set to 64% for some reason, just turned it all the way up and holy moly that's a crazy car

[@sergiosanchis9986]

I am here two years later because I cannot stop admiring Jimmy's capacity to drive insanely fast while providing better commentating than I've ever heard professionals deliver. What a mad lad!

[@bitkarek]

love your foot work ... and very nice quick reactions... amazing driving man! very well done.

[@stesstuff5216]

Great video. You've got some skills and you're commentary as you drive is awesome. You've got the voice to be a motorsport commentator.

[@phrtao]

I remember watching this car at the old Silverstone. It looked scary even as a spectator. It must have been terrifying to drive but also really good fun

[@yurigoytacaz]

this is the first video I watch of yours, and this is the most exciting nordscheleife lap I've seen on youtube. ahah will look your other videos. (= congrats.

[@willyum6397]

Every month or so I go on a spree of watching all these old cars in sim. This is a staple of the sprees lmao

[@sergio.montazzolli]

I watch the beginning just to listen you saying "Ayrton Senna dooo Brazil!" hahahaha very funny... but at the end I watch the whole lap, good drive

[@Sirdiggar]

You deserve way more subs man, awesome commentary voice. Keep it up.

[@a.villar6291]

3:01 look, with one hand

[@Tuitaye]

Your ability to drive a manual in car at over 200 mph and simultaneously being able to commentate is incredible!

[@TheOregonBr]

Love from Brazil!

[@cavalcanti3207]

serião kkkkkk

[@tiagorosa5300]

Ayrton Senna do Brasil !!! How we miss that :/

[@SatanClaus69]

Did a 5:46:9 today. I'm chasing you, Jimmer! Went from 6:36 to 5:46 in about 2 and a half weeks. Somewhere along the lines of 100+ laps to build up to it. Lots of spins and frustration of course. Learning to modulate the throttle and keep it on boost has been a great challenge. By far my favourite car on AC.

[@HaydenGrubyTT]

Probably my favourite video from this series! So intense! Love the content Jimmy!

[@sgstudios86]

YES! You did the video! Still in the process of watching it as I type this but maaaan is this car/track combo so much fun!

[@axellno1759]

The only way these could be better if there would be some blooper footage at the end. :) Good work Jimmey!

[@worldhello1234]

@2:21 Yea Jimmy dude, but if you have damage enabled, the engine is "toast" after the second lap at the latest. It is actually meant for the qualifying.

[@dylanmustey4349]

[@lemanstherogue]

This is the first of your videos that I have seen. Liked and subscribed. 👌 Job well done. I got GT Sport, and the closest car I have to this is the Formula car from the Polyphony/Gran turismo dealership. I'm going to run that car and compare with you.

[@andyc280081973]

Was a magical lap for us chap. Keep up the awesome drives!

[@oddguy2829]

Nice driving dude :). People did not believe me when i told them i did it in 5:46 with this car. Said it was impossible and that my screenshot was a fake... Wish they could see this.

[@maxwellgoulding1585]

Love everything about the videos Jimmer! Only thing I don't like is how short they are because the cars are so fast

[@gustavohp3439]

1:22 Jimmy saying Ayrton Senna do Brasil its so funny lol

[@otaviodebarros7051]

DUDE YOU SAID THE MYTHOLOGICAL QUOTE "AYRTON SENNA DO BRASIL"!!!! SO HAPPY THAT THIS HAPPENED 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@BurntheedgeGaming]

"Don't want to get on the throttle on the curb, that'll kill me"

[@yocecil3538]

5 bar of boost is crazy. I heard about an old F1 engine which didn't need a head gasket because the cylinder head and block was one single piece. Maybe it was for this car.

[@TommyTarkov]

there is nothing like the "green hell" this track is a beast and the car is making it even better ! like youre vr content a lot ! its like you are realy there holy bible! greetings TommyTarkov

[@jovanu4]

First time in my life that i got scared by watching a racing game. it happened as you took the fast left turn after the long steady incline part of the track :D

[@tobznoobs]

The way you wrestled the car just reminded me of f1 in the 80s.

[@maiikele]

I think that full lap wouldn't be achievable with 5bar boost.

[@xXUnoriginalNameXx33Meygaera]

He would have already died 43 times by now.

[@stefano4776]

Consider he is recording and speaking...this increase the performance value 😄

[@tommykalamakis]

@@maiikele the engine would definitely blow by the end of it if not way before like half way the lotus can only do like 2 or 3 laps on 100% boost so if he did a 6 min lap he has basically done about 5 laps

[@pistonfury]

The rear wants to slide out not only due to power but also due to the transaxle these old f1's had.. and if you keep your grip and fly out the turn, well yes you said it understeered, that's also due to the transaxle transferring the weight excessively, created by a seesaw effect made by the engine and transaxle counter weighting each other around the rear axle playing pivot of seesaw.

[@DARTHDARKMANX]

you really should have more subscribers. great channel and awesome driving as always.

[@stutayls]

You have a new fan. So exhilarating!! Thank you

[@TRC98]

98T loves to bite under boost. Love it to bits

[@VelhaGuardaTricolor]

With all due respect and very appreciative of all the videos you have posted so far but I have to say, every time I watch one of your videos the vision of Bobcat Goldthwait springs to mind.

[@LR_84]

should have posted this tomorrow, on Senna's birthday. #SennaSempre

[@Endidixknsej]

I used to do this all the time with this car. All ways on full boost. I mastered the car and it was so fun. The best part is the engine can’t handle 2 laps with blowing up if it’s on full boost

Has to be exhausting doing this for a living.

[@filipvis4655]

The reaction times and error response must be superhuman. Topsport for a reason. Normal person would be scared to death trying this. Senna wasn't. I guess he's somewhere up high smiling down. He would be proud of this! Only difference Senna would have the balls trying this real life. All other mentally normal careful ppl lol, they wouldn't try it. One of these laps could be a death sentence. Impeccable driving of this guy! What an achievement m8.
