[@XxxXxx-br7eq]

I think a lot of it is because many people who expose themselves on platforms like KZbin aren't really that genuine and they're honestly not that good of people when it comes down to it. Jimmy on the other hand is a super real person who's genuine empathetic and not at all a sosciopath like so many others who do stuff like this

[@Redman147]

You better be back next year to defend your championship. You're a REAL racing driver no matter what you think. Even now you're more a racing driver than you give yourself credit for. No need to thank us. Thank YOU. You've given people dreams to look forward to.

Looks like he wasnt, and its a shame, he mightve been moved up to pro since he won the last championship, also he brought in loads of viewers for them, shame they didnt try to keep him for a little while longer as a factory driver

What an evolution. From a shed dweller, through a sim racer and youtuber, into a race driver and not straight into a champion! I used to follow Kubica few years back, but now You are the driver I follow and keep my fingers crossed for every time. Great job and keep that trophy collection growing!

[@MrHobbit60]

Your grandfather would be SO PROUD. Incredible stuff. You deserve every bit of it.

[@Nathan9197]

Mate, what a bloody ride. I still can't believe you pulled it off. From bleached haired shed dweller to Praga Cup Champion. You know, us sim racers love what we do, and alot of us dreamt of being in a real race car. Alot of that comes from the times we spent with family i think, watching racing together when we were kids. To watch you get the opportunity to do it for real has been a real pleasure. Not an ounce of jealousy or envy, but a massive amount of pride from me, a random bearded person on the internet. Winning the Indy 500 on iRacing that time and seeing what it meant to you, how events coincided then and how emotional it was, you only ever really went upwards from there. It started from those times. Not 2 years ago, but all the years you put your heart and soul into turning a wheel and pressing pedals in your shed. That Indy 500 when you just turned up and showed Americans how to turn left, those endurance races, putting the hours in, starting a KZbin channel so that us ballbags can tag along on your races. You earnt every second of this. Congratulations Jimmy

[@dwtty_]

so proud of you jimmer you've come along way from driving pretend cars in shed at the bottom of a garden and seeing you win a championship after the effort you've put in after way more then two years is just amazing and definitely isn't the end of your journey

[@UTubeSL]

Jimmy, the lesson at 17:58 for you is, you're really brave. You can't have bravery without fear, and you felt the fear, and you did it anyway. Not to mention that you not only 'did it' but look at what you've done... you beat the Stig!!! I'm so happy for you dude. All the best.

[@orbiter277]

Jimmer, I only started watching your videos after your first Praga video, but I’m still so happy to see how much you’ve grown. Seeing you win the championship was an incredible moment for me, and I’m sure for everyone who watches your videos. We are all so proud of you, champion

[@mbochum83]

I don't remember which race it was, but one day I stumbled upon some guy in a shed doing 100% races in F1 2017. I didn't care so much about the racing, but the personality of this guy had my attention and I was immediately hooked. I can't believe it's been over 5 years. You really are an inspiration. I'm so proud of you and it's been a pleasure watching you grow and achieving your dreams! Thank YOU for sharing your journey with all of us!

[@mpbx3003]

Just goes to show the power of taking your chance and making somebody else say no instead of doing it yourself. So proud to see the progress from you.

[@brockaengland]

Hi Jimmer. I've been watching your stuff for a few years now and I've enjoyed it greatly. Your enthusiasm for your passion is infectious, and people can sense it easily through your videos. Even for folks who don't watch racing, you're an entertaining host. I've never commented before, but I wanted to take a moment to share how much watching your transformation from sim racer to racing driver has inspired me. It's not every day that you get to watch, bit by bit, as someone makes their dreams come true before your eyes. You have a complete visual record of your ascension from shed-dweller to a championship-winning racing driver. This is no mean feat. In fact, it was a very brave thing: you not only fought hard through trials of all kinds to achieve your goals, *you placed the record of your struggle online for all to see.* All your mistakes, your flubs and your punts, your family troubles, all the obstacles were shared with us, your viewers. That kind of vulnerability is testament to your character. All this is to say: you inspire people. I wonder if you understand how much. Your journey is just beginning, and I'm grateful that I've witnessed a portion of it. Keep going. We're with you.

[@caelumincola]

Been watching you for years Jimmer and was just happy to lurk, enjoying your content and the emotional ride you've taken us all on. Massive congrats at your championship and realising your dreams.

Jimmer, what a carrer! From a shed dwelling sim racer, plowing the fastest cars in Assetto Corsa, punting Lando off the track, joining Praga, and claiming that your are not just a sim racer, you are a Praga Cup 2022 CHAMPION, I have watched you since 2020. And Now, two years later, to see you on the top, we have come so far, in such a little time. But now is not to rest, it's to go beyond... It's hammertime.

These guys drove a crab across the line in 1st to win a championship. Absolutely amazing! And to think, I wouldn't even know who this Broadbent guy is if we didn't share a love for being desktop racers. I always felt that a racer is a racer, and if you're good driving through code, you're good driving full stop. Jimmy has proved as much in 2 years of racing. I can't imagine how much you've heard it up to this point, but I'll say it again for all of us. We're so proud of you, shed boi! You're a champion!!! I thought seeing you on a sports broadcast in the US, racing against F1 drivers during the pandemic in the virtual world, was really something. Someone I really want to see succeed is rubbing shoulders with the celebrities of the sport. Well, now you hold a title that many of those drivers have yet to accomplish in any form of racing. Meditate on that. You deserve it. I can't wait to see where your journey takes you next, Jim. And congrats once again!

[@randome.p.wvideos]

[@NickkAtNyte]

I feel like if you went back a few years and told Jimmy when he was starting out that by 2022 he'd have met Richard Hammond, James May, Ben Collins, became a racing driver, and ultimately a championship winning racing driver, he probably would've said you were mad. But look at ya Jimmer. You've done it. I've wanted to do racing ever since I was little, and seeing your success has allowed me to sort of live out that dream vicariously through you. Congratulations Jimmy, you bloody well earned it.

It's been so amazing to see you come from a man in a shed driving a diesel beast around the green hell and doing alright in sim, to qualifying barely behind a formula 3 driver.

Well that was bloody emotional. Cheers, crying now. Love you Jimmy. You're part of the inspiration that my life needed.

[@ale-lp]

So happy for you guys! It's amazing how many things can go wrong, even in a race where your main rivals got into trouble your car has some mysterious, unexplainable suspension issue that threats not only to take the win away from you but is also a clear DNF risk! I just hope to se more real life content and see you racing in anything, best of luck for the future Jimmy! I was surprised there was no more details on that bent wishbone, it was hilarious looking at the images during the stream Jimmy did a few days after the race. Hilarious when looking at the sausage kerb and scary when looking at the damage...

[@SmallBlogV8]

It's lovely to say that ANYone who loves simracing can go and do it for real, but it's only realistic to point out that not EVERYone will... so those of us who won't or can't align those stars and make it happen are riding along with you Jimmer! Keep doing it for the gamer nerds and I'll keep admiring your work. You deserve all your success.
