It's been amazing to watch you grow jimmer! From a shed dwelling pretend race car driver to racing actual race cars, winning races, championship, and also becoming a dad now! All that success couldn't have come to a more deserving guy! You've brought quite a few of us chat gremlins through really hard times, and for me you're one of the people who inspire me to keep on fighting against my depression. So thank you Jimmy, and may the future hold many more successes for you and your family

Jimmy's videos are honestly probably the reason I bought a PC, wheel, and iRacing subscription when I had the chance. His videos on stuff like Assetto Corsa mods left me with an itch that Nascar Heat and Forza could no longer scratch. Then in my first few weeks of iRacing, I ran into some dude named Justin in an ARCA Lime Rock race, and he posted a link to a track guide on youtube. Ended up running into that guy again a couple of times. And now I'm on a Hakkinen level sabbatical, but I'm getting that itch again. The world is a weird place.

Jimmer is an absolute legend. Back in 2020 a friend of mine got into SimRacing during lockdown. We both watched Jimmer a lot during this time and I helped my friend to learn more and more about sim racing. We ended up doing a 24h of Nurburgring race on iRacing as part of a league, just the two of us, and some how we won it! It was an amazing feeling and it was mostly down to Jimmy that my friend got into sim racing to begin with. Sadly a few months later, my friend took his own life as he was very depressed but never told anyone about it. It absolutely shattered me and I didn't know what to do with myself, I even had to take a break from watching Jimmys videos. But in November of 2020, I decided to pay tribute to my friend and race in Jimmy's Race for Mental Health (I think it was only the 2nd year back then!) and did the entire 23hour race solo. I was an absolute wreck come the end, but I completed it, and I was so elated! Getting to race on a virtual track with Jimmy was such a cool experience and I hope I can take part in the 2025 race again :) I also ended up wrapping my real life car in the same livery that my friend and I drove to victory in the n24h, complete with massive anime girl on the side lol. As Jimmy's whiteboard always says "It's ok to make mistakes, share your passion, enjoy yourself!"

I was there at Donington when Jimmy had won his first two races, a bunch of us had decided to go through the garages just to try and give him some support before his races. Jimmy spotted us and immediately stopped what he was doing and invited us into the garage and showed us around the car answering any questions we had and just having a normal conversation with us all about racing and cars in general even though he could've been preparing himself for the race. Super nice guy and definitely deserves all the success 😄

Never NOT going to cry listening to Jimmy's story. Just like I will never forget, having been made redundant from my dream job in the middle of 2018, deciding to check out videos on KZbin for the first time and finding Jimmy's video driving the old Spa circuit in a V12 Matra F1. The sound and action was amazing but what really hooked me was his commentary, and its what has kept me coming back all these years. Owe this man so much, my best friends and my girlfriend I owe to this journey and while I can never thank him enough it's not stopped me trying. Love you Jimmy, you've had such a positive affect on so many lives. The Zolder 23 hour is just a part of it. Three hundred thousand pounds and counting.

I started watching Jimmy in like 20116 or 2017 and it felt so cool to find someone who was so easy to relate to, watch and learn from. I started playing iRacing because of him in 2017 and now I work there (which is just an absolute dream come true). I have the best job in the world thanks to Jimmer and I cannot express how much that means after being in a really rough place all these years ago. Someone whom I have never met in my life has made such a huge impact on it, that's just so insane to my tiny brain. Keep up the great work Jimmy and DJ, you guys are doing great work for sim racing and real life racing.

Jimmy Broadbent is one of my heroes. I've always thought sim racing is a perfect stepping stone into real racing; if you're fast in a sim, you can be fast in a car. I remember subscribing when he was just over 100K subscribers. I remember watching video after video of laps around the Nurburgring (I even salute the Rebel Tree whenever I pass it in a game). I remember his win of the iRacing Indy 500, when he's not really an oval racer. I remember him being broadcast in the US, racing F1 and Indy drivers, during the pandemic. I remember watching his first kart race, his first Praga race, and his championship run in a real racing series. Through it all, I've watched a man in a garden shed realize a farfetched dream while making sim racing content for guys like me. I don't think I've ever cheered on a guy I don't really know any harder than I cheer for Jimmer. I feel fortunate to know who he is.

Watching Jimmer grow maybe saved me, I think I found his channel at the right time in 2020, I 'd just found out I had secondary progressive MS and had to give up my future hopes, I had to move in with my parents and give up a decently paid job. Luckily his enthusiasm for racing games made me pick my pad back up and start enjoy racing games again (I'd had to stop driving because my eyes were effected by my MS), Now I'm in a new house with a PS5 and Moza Set up (still have the MS-Never gonna lose that but I don't feel down about it because I won't let it). Thanks Jimmer for being there man.

“Share your passion” a quote written on Jimmy’s whiteboard for how many years now. He’s the literal embodiment of that quote. A shed dwelling KZbinr climbing from just creating videos for he was passionate about, to becoming a caster, to participating in gokarting races with his fellow passionate KZbinrs to getting a chance to race on Nurburgring which he races so many times virtually. I love his journey, and will always root for him

As a karting content creator from Spain I definitely feel some kind of little obsession with the numbers. I feel identified of what he says from minute 16 onwards, but I’ll try to do what he says at 17:43. Numbers are just that, they shouldn’t affect your life just because the videos don’t have many views. Thank you for everything, Jimmy, you’re an inspiration! And thank you to you for making this video. It made me remember when I first discovered Jimmy’s channel (I think back in 2018), watching the Kammel GT races and then the Lmp1 with the legendary tractor 😍

I met Jimmy during the SimRacing Expo in 2019 and he is till this day one of the nicest people I ever met in my life. We had a little chat and he asked also about me and my background (even followed my old Instagram Account) and it was so special to me, since I've been watching his videos for well over 8 years now. He even remembered me when I came by to his stream months later to say hi, which also goes along with what he says in the video of how he treats his chat during livestream. And even after I left Sim Racing in early 2022, I continued watching his videos, because he is a huge inspiration to me in following your dreams and reaching your goals, even with a modest background. Seeing him win with Praga for the first time or winning the championship give me goosebumps everytime I see it. When I get sad or let down, one of the things I do is watching some of his old videos or clips not only to make myself feel better, but also as a wakeup call to never give up. He is an inspiration to us all inside and well beyond the racing community

Wouldn't have known any of this sim racing stuff existed without Jimmy. I didn't know that was the little link I was looking for. I saw his GT4 stream and subbed and then learned there were more realistic racing games than Gran Turismo and Forza, which was baffling. Finding out I could own and race with a relatively realistic and weighty wheel and pedals in my own place of residence was incredibly appealing. "I can do the paddle shift thing?!" -Guy who didn't use most of the Forza control schemes because I found shifting up and down with face buttons to be absurd

It sounds so parasocial to say, but I remember feeling so proud when Jimmy got the call to Praga, and then kept getting calls and winning things. Because here’s this genuine, fun guy who’s clearly doing all of this for the joy of it, and he’s good at the driving aspect, WHILE managing to engage with chat and talk through his laps and offer commentary, it’s a really special combo to see. And at the same time, he’s saying “I can’t believe they called ME, I don’t deserve to be here!” when from the outside it looked like the most natural progression. He was just the last person to see it, and now watching him question it less and be willing to just go for it feels so awesome watching from the sidelines. It’s been a hell of a journey so far and I hope it keeps going and keeps being fun

Jimmer is amazing. Followed him for years but two things stood out: The main thing was his quest to beat Bellofs time on the Ring which took years but was eventually done. It was so amazing to witness that I eventually achieved that brutal challenge too. The second thing was when he was streaming him driving on Zolder (Maybe it was during the Mind fundraiser too) and he had Whatsapp Web open, and suddenly a message from 'Misha' in the group chat 'NLS/VLN' (something like that) popped up on the livestream, before anything about this was announced at all. That small mistake was so significant, and I'll never forget how amazing it was to read that.

A wonderful piece on a man who has deserved everything good he has made for himself. I've watched him for around 10 years now, in the early days I was going through what was the hardest time of my life, struggling with a big break up that took most of what I had in life from me as well long-term mental health conditions. I was close to the end at that time but watching him made me feel there was something to focus on in life and I got more into sim-racing too which i've always been into but I realised that I needed that to get me through one day at a time until I survived. It all still feels surreal now that I watch streams I would have watched anyway of various forms of motorsport, many of which I followed before he was involved like the Britcar series, I often have no idea he's in a race until I hear his name, just like you hear the name of any other racing driver. Add that to the online 24 hour races where you have names like Max Verstappen on the same track it all feels like the man has achieved something amazing. To think there are greater days ahead is a fantastic thing, so many people are so happy to see the guy succeed. Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.

I remember I went through a phase of watching onboard footage of racing circuits I liked. That lead me to watching sim onboards. Then, I guess, that must have caused Jimmy's videos to pop up in the algorithm. I didn't have a television back in 2016-18 so I watched a lot of youtube. Eventually I found myself watching 30 to 50min videos of GT races that Jimmy would post and got into other content that lead me to subscribing. I didn't watch his live streams at all at first when I subbed. But when I did I got a great vibe of hanging out with Jimmy and now I don't like missing them. I had to subscribe a second time because I deleted an old google account. But anyway, he became my favourite youtuber because of the hanging out vibe on streams, his humour, his positive influence in relation to dealing with mental health and being a good influence on me and inspiring so many. I remember I was starting a new job a few years ago and he was streaming the night before. I sent a superchat about it and he said in his "Davestation" voice to not be nervous and walk in there like a boss. It made me laugh and when I started work the next day I thought of that funny moment to make me laugh and take the nerves away. I also asked him for advice recently about wanting to make youtube content but having anxiety and self-doubt about it and he responded kindly. I'm a lot older than him but he's the one influencing and inspiring me. That's my Jimmy story. He deserves the life and success he has right now because he's an emotionally intelligent and all-around nice guy. Awesome!

I know I had just subbed to the guy randomly for I think his GT and Dirt Rally videos. Surprised to see him do actual cars, then suddenly he's actually doing pro racing. Happy to see Jimmer reach high, shit's awesome!

I can only imagine the look on Jimmers face if you had told him all those years ago that he would not only find success as an actual race car driver, but that he’d also get to drive a GT40 from Britain to the Nurburgring.
