What are you saying about night-shift retail? Thats much more work than day shift and usually earns a lot more.

You deserve this Jimmer, well done mate.

[@performancelink]

True words man

[@flexygoo1295]

You really do. I'm so glad you get to do this stuff

[@kekke2000]

The reasons Jimmy deserves this, even if he downplays it himself. 1. He is a very good driver 2. He is a very good media personality and promoter 3. He put in the hours practicing these skills by doing sim racing videos and streams

[@dalton-at-work]

the pagani downshifting legit gives me chills. props to madlad throwing 6mil around for our enjoyment!

[@Housetian2]

That dude is FILTHY rich. All those cars AND the circuit are owned by him. I'm living life wrong.

[@benclimo461]

That downshifting sounds absolutely amazing. What an amazing noise! That track is amazing too

[@jordan95budd]

This his doing it for his own enjoyment 😂

[@antivanti]

NOT racing it would be a waste of 6 mil 😛

From sim racing in a shed to racing at one of the most exclusive race tracks in the world, great job Jimmer!

You being humble and appreciative to your subs is what makes us come back. Cause i see the pleb inside of me reacting almost exactly as you do. You're living out so many of our dreams and we are happy for you cause we've seen your ups and downs and that makes a difference! I wish you more opportunities in the future Jimmer!

[@fredscratchet1355]

Bloody hell Jimmer you've hit the big time now! Just remember they didn't ask gangs of sim racers and KZbinrs to go, they specifically asked YOU! They want 100 people a year to go and hang about there, it doesn't get more exclusive than that. Congrats mate you've done brilliant.👍

[@MadmanJnr]

It would have been a real let down getttingbout there and seeing SuperGT as well lol

[@JamesBoxxy]

The SOUND of that V12 is absolutely NUTS!! 🤯 What a fantastic car! 🔥🔥

[@victorhansen924]

I know this sounds weird, but i am 100% sure this track in in Gran Turismo 6 of all things! I remember having to battle a Veyron around here for hours to complete one if the challenges.

Ascari Race Resort

[@PaulMutser]

Yes it was. It was a bit of a random addition but it was in there

[@MitchGP]

Was looking for this comment, thank you.

[@stupidtomatos]

Yes seeing the onboard brought back flashbacks to this nightmare

[@esoteridactyl]

@@PaulMutser Apparently they had a GT6 launch event there. The track was just sold recently, I wonder if these new owners are trying to get more publicity around it.

[@CarloPlaya]

The Gran Turismo license test around here in the Veyron was awfully hard, still loved that track

[@fergar0206]

Which GT was that? 6?

[@CarloPlaya]

@@fergar0206 yes, GT6, final license test with that boat of a car around these technical corners 🫠

Amazing, the experience in the Praga has clearly helped so much.

[@gdoumit]

My god the sound of the Pagani... My girlfriend saw my reaction to the sound and said she was convinced I'm more sexually attracted to cars than I am women. She's kind of right on this one.

[@dalton-at-work]

LOL

Yea that sound does that... absolutely incredible

[@dylannix4289]

My ex would always get this smug all knowing look on her face whenever we were outside and some nice car or bike rolled by because my facial expression was supposedly “cute and fairly amusing” Though the way she said it always gave me the shivers

[@BBROPHOTO]

22:59 - Squeaky bum moment for sure. Watching you rip it in that Ferrari brought me such a smile. You’ve come so incredibly far and you really do belong on the track in these cars. You’re a really good driver and I’m so genuinely excited to see where the next few years take you Jimmy. Onwards to N24 and maybe... we’ll see you in a GT3 car in the coming years ;)

[@tobytoxd]

haha i had quite a moment there, too!

[@Ricardo29j]

Ascari Race Resort circuit needs to be back in Gran turismo 7 First appeared in Gran Turismo 6

[@thedalailmao]

Mad respect to the birds for avoiding a collision with Jimmy Broadbent. They did better than the Asseto Corsa Competizione online lobby.

[@XBR4Da]

Guys living the dream. Make a living from playing games and driving amazing cars on amazing tracks. I'm happy for you Jimmer 👊

[@silicon1138]

Holy cow Jimmy. I think that's my favorite video you've ever made. I grinned like a Cheshire cat from start to finish with increasing buzz with every car and lap. Outstanding. I know the circuit inside out from GT6 so it was amazing seeing you doing it for real. What an absolute treat for you and for all of us. Just wow :)

[@Kingofweasles]

Hey, this track was in Gran Turismo 6 and it kind of elevated the bar for "Country Club" race tracks, leading to places like The Thermal Club. Very cool and good job Jimmer!

[@Cheezdealer]

That looks like an insanely fun track to drive, and absolutely gorgeous scenery to boot. I think I have a new bucket list item... "drive anything somewhat fast around Ascari Circuit"

[@RA-Redacted68]

I thought I recognized Ascari race circuit, it was on Gran Turismo 6, brilliant flowing fast track. Your racing experience is growing and so nice to see a streamer having these opportunities given to them and show that they can do what they can do in the sim world, in real life.

[@Groggers96]

6:11 I half expected to see a bright red F2002 zooming past with how that thing sounds

[@eliankruik2015]

Jimmy is actually playing gran turismo irl switching between all these cool cars and im all for it!

[@lordofthenoobies2445]

Considering, where you came from and what you went through, it is amazing to watch you do these things and not start to get high on success. You remain the fragile, ever humble "scrub", casually preparing to do the N24, as if it was nothing, but still getting overwhelmed by driving anything, from a Mini to a 488 Challenge Car around a race track IRL. THAT is why you are loved by your community. The humble, not flawless, easily excited, nerdy kid, that doesn't want to grow up and yet prove more maturity, than most.

[@Vert344]

Man I remember this track on GT6... Was an absolute blast to drive. Spent many hours and honestly years testing, tuning and drifting cars on this track. So amazing you had to privilege to actually run laps on this track with some amazing cars!!~ So jealous~

[@xy36]

It's super cool to see you living YOUR dreams, not just "our" dreams. YT can be a slog for content and things like that, but we're all car nerds and racing enthusiasts at the end of the day. Seeing the variety of cars you are getting to drive and all the new opportunities is so awesome. Super happy for you, Jimmer.

[@spoopy5835]

Anybody remember trying to get their super license in GT6 and having to do the Bugatti Veyron around here?? that shit was difficult, but I honestly loved driving this track on one of my favorite sims. Congrats on driving here in real life in some sick cars.

[@dylanwakley2553]

I remember watching this track on clarkson’s home video, supercar showdown, and on the C63 VS M3 VS RS4 episode of top gear, such a gorgeous place

[@benclimo461]

Thanks! I knew I remember hearing about this track before and couldn't pinpoint it!

[@qwebb911]

I've only been watching the channel for like a year, but Jimmer is just so modest and humble and he warms my soul to see him get to do these kind of videos.

[@ChristofurLandar]

Had the opportunity to be behind the wheel of the 488 Challenge Evo for an afternoon and felt that same brain-scrambling awe afterwards, hands were shaky for a solid hour afterwards driving back to the hotel in my rental. One of the most thrilling experiences of my life, the most surprising part to me was how approachable the car felt once you get settled in. That adjustable traction/stability system really helps build the confidence to start sending it in no time, congrats on the awesome experience!

[@LostImPark]

That moment at 9:28 where you can see for a split second a person on track is wild... but i think its more likely a bug that flew by and looked liek a person

[@razghost2]

Ah man that was amazing, I can't believe how hard you pushed that Ferrari lol

[@HH0ps]

22:55 that send into turn 1 is crazy

[@SuellioAlmeida]

This is so satisfying to watch! The Pagani with eyes closed is legit a V12 F1 lmao Looking forward to watching about you doing more and more ferraris, jimmer!!

[@Ricardo29j]

Ascari Race Resort circuit brings me so many memories when I was a kid playing Gran Turismo 6 hope Polyphony Digital adds in Gran Turismo 7

Stand proud Jimmy. You've earn't it. Watching your vids seeing you never give up and chase your dream inspires me to keep on trucking. Thank you.

[@MarcSob22]

Really love the Ferrari 250 SWB the most gorgeous GT ever made!! And the 488 Challenge Evo, at Le Mans last week they were a few seconds faster than the GTE cars, on the straights just over 20km/h faster than the GTE! Amazing machine! Great content mate!

[@joelambert7128]

the 250 GT SWB is, I think, the most handsome car ever built - muscular and graceful in perfect balance.

[@mattfarrar5472]

That Pagani - Welcome to F1 Pre 2014 and why we were so upset when we lost the V8! You cannot explain the sound and feel of 26 of those going around, you can hear them everywhere. Racing is a spectator sport and to experience that sound far far far exceeds the new era being a couple of seconds faster, you don't get that same physical and emotional reaction over a couple of seconds faster on a timing sheet.

[@benclimo461]

Exactly, every time I hear the new cars I get absolutely no excitement at all, they look great, but there's just no screaming cars that want you to cover your ears almost

[@stenovitz]

A but envious must admit. 12-13 years ago I raced Ascari Racing Resort to death in a magnificent GTR2 track mod in gazillions of more modern racing cars, though I'm primarily on Jake's/GPLaps' team of classics. Excellent content, Jimmer!

[@RacingUnleashed]

We love it! What a wonderful day Jimmy. Thank you very much for coming. Until very soon for more!

[@GrahamNicholson56]

A thought for more - how about a Broadbent Award for your guests? Jimmy sets a lap time in each of your guest cars and, if a guest beats it, they get a BA.

[@RacingUnleashed]

​@@GrahamNicholson56 That's an intriguing concept, Graham. We'll definitely take some time to consider it. We appreciate your suggestions, so please continue to share them with us. :)

[@ryan1mcq]

What an experience man, and getting a few laps in the 488 is just phenomenal 😄👌

[@t_z1030]

When talking about the Wolf Gas said "It's 370kg to 200hp" and my eyes just about popped out of my head, then he says "it doesn't sound like much" and I just had to laugh. Thats 50% greater power to weight than a 911 GT3 RS but with all the extra handling benefit that comes from weighing f**k all. You don't even have to see it move to know that thing is lethal

[@azalli]

The driving was really clean mate you represented yourself well

[@ICKY427]

holy heck thats awesome. just like a day in assetto driving a bunch of fun cars but its REAL. you were really hustling that 488 too! made me pucker a couple times just watching XD

Thank you for sharing this Jimmy, and thank you to Mercedes for blessing us with that V12 engine all those years ago *chef's kiss*

[@Wolfe_No.13]

Glad you got to experience what the 488 Challenge Evo feels like because its such a sick car to drive but I hate how heavy the front end feels. its a nightmare sometimes but still an insanely fast car and when the turbo finally kicks in the car feels like a rocket :) love to see how far you've come since making youtube videos in the shed

[@gregjohnson9978]

Absolutely stunning mate!!! You’ve been working super hard towards stuff like this!!!

[@Bacho_Grande]

Captivated the whole time mate. Not consciously aware I was biting my hand a little from witnessing the Wolf & 488 Challenge footage. Speaking of shots, they came out GREAT. Also, all the respect in the world that they continue to drive that 250 GT LWB around and that you absolutely did not hit it. I'd forgive you if ya did, of course, but it'd be real tough.

[@BilloGarage]

I was wearing Headphones while watching this video and after the Pagani passed, I turned my headphones to max and watched it again. Gave me goosebumps. Cant imagine how awesome this sounds in person

[@deaks25]

I remember seeing this track when Top Gear visited back in the day and thought it was one of the coolest sounding places. I recognise the track logo from the Acari car company (whose owner originally built the track if I remember rightly) and I was also a big fan of the Ascari KZ1 car, thought it looked and sounded fabulous.

[@MrSongib]

7:51 You can tweak the sound of any car with some custom exhaust manifold and it's pipe to your liking. Hopefully, you will tweak something similar for your car in the future, it's quite cool to get some cool sound in some known mainstream engine. It's the most cool mods IMO for ear pleasure.

[@scotthecarnerd1995]

Maaaaate this is insane you deserve all of this coming your way ❤, that Pagani is 1 of 15 cars btw extremely rare, 6.0 l naturally aspirated V12 that's rated for 850bhp at a 9000rpm redline 😉

[@dakota1k]

Jimmy you truly are an inspiration for me and hundreds of thousands others. I wouldn't have the confidence in racing as I do now if it was for you. Hell I mean I wouldn't even have wanted to get into simracing if I didn't find your channel. You are not an imposter you are Jimmy Broadbent.
