Ex-Stig Challenges Mat Armstrong to a SIM RACE!

[@cedarrapids81]

Mat is far more concerned about virtual car damage than real ones.

[@andrewfairhall604]

Imagine being these other players not knowing they are racing the stig 😂 that's the best

[@whatelseb-sidesvinyl747]

Some say... 😂

[@JaYb97716]

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

[@Rinordine]

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 🙏

[@luzkyhal]

Very true!

[@nadronnocojr]

The stig needs to be on tv more. Love this guy. Great video guys. , inspired to attempt racing ,

[@CameronDasRacing]

Seeing Mat coach Ben on the simulator was not the outcome I was expecting 😆- Congrats on the new channel, Ben!

[@mayh3xx]

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!

[@BenCollinsDrives]

Thank you - it's gonna take me some time to catch up but I'm getting there.... !

[@jefdamen2977]

⁠@@BenCollinsDrivesAssetto corsa 1 has lots of mods as in tracks, cars and enviromental mods, which u can’t get in ACC. Cheers Ben

[@mAKa.....7]

Ben, you & matt are youtube GOLD❤ Good luck with your channel brother💪

[@Mapa356]

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

[@JaYb97716]

Yes! Well spoken, loves video games and obviously isn't too bad irl. Legend ❤

[@EritoKaio]

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!

[@BenCollinsDrives]

he'll soon find out ;)

[@retromechanic2238]

Enjoy your time gaming! 🕹️ very different to your usual videos but very natural! 🥳

[@chrisboruch]

I was in that Porsche! I remember that pink McLaren racing the other McLaren ! NO WAY I RACED STIG😳😳

[@ToxicMrSmith]

Suuuure buddy

[@CraigMansfield]

Cool 👍 there's a claim to fame 😊

[@dalehughes5470]

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 😀

[@jprince176]

That was great! Always up for watching some good racing. Good luck with the new channel 🏆

[@LHSlash]

One is the Stig, the other one a great grandchild of the first man on the moon. Amazing!

[@CraigMansfield]

Are you serious?

[@Exeee.]

I will happily watch every step of your sim racing journey, so cool to see an OG irl racer hop in the sim

[@AdminAbuse]

Now this is gaming

[@nicolejune4282]

This is fantastic. Looking forward to what this channel has to offer in the future.

[@prescriptionpete866]

This was super fun to watch! Great collab 😅

[@briangschaefer7048]

That was so much fun to watch! Brilliant setup Mat.

[@mikegiordanoplayspiano8609]

Instant subscribe. Thank you Ben!! Just what I needed to see tonight.

[@BenCollinsGaming]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@TheFibreman]

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!

[@nickhill941]

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 👍🏻

[@NotThatQuick]

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!

[@Kaufy19]

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.

[@timwood6661]

Those rigs are amazing!

[@craigdixon7881]

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

[@mlynn2007]

Hilarious 😂, great to watch, and well played Ben 👏

[@BenCollinsGaming]

Thanks 👍

[@nicholascanjuga6000]

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

[@Luk1000slowracer]

what a world we live in, brilliant stuff guya

[@augustinegalela3430]

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

[@charlesbenecke2678]

Mr Collins. Grew up watching you (just never knew it was you) Will continue to do so! Love from South Africa

[@zkulgan8167]

I really enjoying Matt and stig videos Like the contents Please do more video with matt and his friends

[@StephenDowle]

Great video these two always a laugh! Really like how Ben is the sequential gear stick and Matt using the flappy paddles😂

[@BenCollinsGaming]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@phoenix-mods]

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)!

[@DruidB19]

Love the content Ben! My new favorite KZbinr full stop.

[@bradw3912]

Ben "Its quite bumpy, especially with contact" Mat tells him AFTER "Your rig may be 100%" 😂

[@rxcartelesports]

Glad to see this finally happen! Can't wait to get involved, Ben! 👊💀🏁 #keepitcartel

[@rwdISme]

Ben using a stick to shift gears in a paddle shift car game. unreal what a legend

[@jurassicjam2156]

A history of racing games video done with your style would be epic.

[@oh2hilarious]

Man I'm so excited to see how this channel plays out

[@stevee8920]

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👍🇬🇧

[@michael1]

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.

[@CraigMansfield]

Definitely. He thinks pure attack always wins. He says so himself.

[@SerialDriver]

Really surprising setting of the motion system. Usually they do the opposite of what we are seeing in this video under braking and acceleration

[@alexanderwingeskog758]

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...

[@djshotty]

Subscribed on this one, the first video I've watched on Stig's new racing channel.

[@SiQuemaCuhh]

Matt picking on the Stig is hilarious 😂

[@djolesremcevic3491]

Please more videos like this! Great video! 👌

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

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.

[@jurassicjam2156]

This is a great idea, get that gaming in. Didn't know you were involved with PC1&2 that's cool.

[@Woopass90]

Sim racing is the best. Great vid

[@Cloud-Man-Racing]

Definitely had to subscribe to this, looking forward for the next video soon ❤

[@redscreentrombone4685]

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!!

[@CraigMansfield]

That's what I think. Get in VR. They'll never go back

[@UnzippedBanana]

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

[@jackmakackov7077]

"there's some bad driving in front of me." Welcome to ACC Stiggy

[@DeanoDrives]

That was such a brilliant race!

[@addisonmaves8348]

Wow, I enjoyed this! I'd really like to try this myself.

[@F1CreatorSeries]

Welcome to the world of sim racing and esports! If you ever fancy getting into the F1 scene give us a shout. Good luck with the journey!

[@Taylor___]

This was amazing Ben. More fun that F1 these days!!!

[@tituskoreman1565]

Nice one to launch this channel! Try it with vr some time, im curious what your experience will be in vr vs. Screens. Cheers!

[@ThisisJoshh]

100% name and shame.. bang out of order mate!

[@manicgamingguy6161]

a gaming channel as well, you really want this youtube life :) I am here for it. next up ben colins IRL Vlog back story

[@manicgamingguy6161]

My old man would of loved these

[@Kwclasics]

Looking forward to all the new videos good luck

[@grahamwheelock7497]

Stig could actually teach Matt how to drive first lesson warm up your tires

[@braamjooste1]

Take Mat to NBR in his pink Gt3, that would be great, you are the OG!

[@pcsimracing9181]

Looking forward to the new content great to see the stig on a SIM.....

[@Chip-nh6rg]

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!!

[@duncanwatson1980]

Absolutely class lads

[@claudioschumi87]

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. 🫡

[@reyalPRON]

a sim race would seem the most economical way considering Armstrongs recent crash records. Instead of Armstrong he could call him self Heavyfoot.

[@AdamWhite-x8w]

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

[@GhostWriter_Music]

the stig just had a sim racing rig delivered today.

[@EyeiSilver1]

If only I could fit that lot under my stairs😂 but I love my little sim hub.

[@gazza1000k7]

That was class, those sims are intense 😂

[@discover62]

Outstanding both of you 😀

[@Jeckkz]

Wait ... Ben has a gaming channel ... Sweeeet

[@kevinty7]

Not a Massive fan of MA but that is cos he now has more money than sense! As shown by two massively expensive sim rigs🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️Likes to rub it in peoples faces as he lacks intelligence and humility. Good stuff from you though Ben, a good guy👍🏽

[@Veloce]

👏

[@theoldgitwatgames4640]

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.

[@HaywireFanPage]

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!

[@scroolewse7733]

Love watching your vlogs Matt but you gotta do something about that friggin laugh!

[@thomb629]

Very entertaining video, please keep posting and this will take off, too! So when are you doing the Nordschleife? ;)

[@kieranclifton2022]

stig seems way nicer then I ever thought watching top gear growing up haha

[@LG23223]

Sim racing this is deffo where Mat should stay, when he crashes it won’t cost him anything

[@84benfranklin]

Good to see Ben getting quicker on the sims

[@Andybarney555]

Old school racing drivers who have been there seen it all like the collins is pretty cool tbf

[@thelawofone77-u4m]

That's ace I have a table and a steering wheel playing gran turismo and that feels real

[@Dawid_Balcerzak]

Nobody was behind you Matt 😂😂😂

[@MrGarycoww]

At least is not expensive if you crash on the sim Mat 😂🤭

[@Arcturuseyes]

Awesome Sim setup

[@ClarkBark14]

You're having way too much fun when you don't realize you're chasing P1 😅

[@nexusdog]

Well now, this is interesting. @BenCollinsGaming have you decided what hardware you want for your own set up? I'd be interested in seeing your journey choosing what hardware suits your needs

[@waveyofficial8874]

We need to get Hammond involved😂😂

[@macdthebruin2]

Still seems weird that Ive seen Mat go from fixing an old TT in a restaurant parking lot to getting to hang out and get his cars critiqued by Hammond and hanging out with Stig.

[@antdonn]

awesome Da sting &Matt Armstrong racing co 🎉 awesome.

[@tumolucky17]

I have acc and a good rig set up, to jump in and drive like you did on such a challenging game ….wow 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻

[@BenCollinsGaming]

Thank you 👍

[@anjo2]

Finally a proper motion rig where everything moves including the monitors, just need to disable in-game head motion.

[@saren6538]

I’m building one but not with Moving monitors doesn’t make sense .. moving monitors is more or less mimicking the sky and surrounding area in real life moving

[@geoffsharp9611]

Would love to see you do an iracing journey, from rookies all the way through.

[@tonymarshall5033]

This is so brilliant to watch ..I can't stop laughing 😅

[@AthanImmortal]

Welcome to the world of gaming Ben ♥️ edit: Wait he worked in Project Cars!!! How did I not know that!

[@BenCollinsDrives]

Yes - PCARS 1, 2 and 3 - plus working on another 'game-changer' with Ian Bell and Straight4 Studios which is gonna b epic

[@SwaLi440]

THE Stig! The one and ONLY STIG!

[@SnerASDF]

the stig should get online and use simrigs a lot more he would be great

[@Alexandru017]

Assetto Corsa Imola with Ferrari 458. Spent hours on that alone just because of you Stig

[@BenCollinsDrives]

Sounds fun i’ll be rocking summa that !
