I'm Sorry. Even though the car did not see me and "pushed me out", I did have enough time to hit the brakes. I misjudged the situation. Also too much Touristenfahrten driving made me forgot how to flash others out of "respect".

[@turboandy69]

You guys did the best you can, I have offically become a fanboy

[@Annie_Avery]

It wasn’t on you at all Misha, you did amazing and everything you could have, it’s racing I guess and super unfortunate): absolutely gutted for you. But we’re all glad you’re okay and you got straight back in that car 💪💪 ❤️ love you

[@generalguilmon6719]

Respect for saying sorry, but I think you did well enough. As a team you all had good pace, the car worked well, and this was only the first big event. It's only going to get better from here, I think you three have a good chance of getting on the podium soon!

[@Jimmy_Broadbent]

It's not your fault he came across on you mate, don't blame you in the slightest!

[@martinleland3969]

​@@Jimmy_Broadbentfirst like love the c9ntent bro can't wait for more and more real life racing

[@pjludda4323]

Man, wow...Those graphics are amazing! Very lifelike gameplay right there, I tells ya what! Even includes incessant Jimmer mumbling commentary! Damn, these AAA companies skip NO expense, ZERO.

[@hgaberacing]

Too bad he plays with a keyboard. It could be faster with a government.

[@MichaelNaydeck]

I wish they would update these graphics to VR or at least triples... This can't be too immersive

[@emmata98]

raytraicing is the standard here

[@oblied]

@@MichaelNaydeck surely the 4090 helps with immersion enough to cover it that

[@drewgalbraith4499]

believe it or not, this is an Indie developer!!

[@Numfuddle]

The German commentators during the 12 hours called you “James Broadbent” multiple times and it didn’t register with me for a long time that they meant you. Keep up the great work.

[@karelpgbr]

Well, Jimmy is the “Dick” of “Richard” but then James

[@FengshenNL]

@@karelpgbrI never looked at Jimmy that way and I'll never look at him the same way.

[@HeapOfBones]

the english language phenomenon of not only making nicknames that don't at all look like their source names but also then using said nicknames like they were regular names will never not throw me off

[@EnderCapitalG]

You did well either way, Jimmy Doorbent.

[@chrismcdonald5775]

Jimmy Bentboot

[@fatalbullethit]

is this a reference to the bent door during the NLS race?

[@JelloTypeR]

Jimmer sounding like a wedding DJ whilst trying to talk us round the nordschliefe. Making what is a very fast and difficult circuit look straightforward is no mean feat.

[@mrxbas]

Who would’ve thought that a silly British boi who would play GT3 from his trusty shed would end up racing everywhere, now including the Nürburgring? Seriously, though. I’m so glad I subscribed during those shed days to see this transformation happen; it’s a huge source of inspiration and motivation. ❤

[@erickschusterdeoliveira2662]

hey you're that guy that used the R390 in a road car-only GT4 run

[@Henry.25]

I started following Jimmy _Broadcast_ because of Assetto Corsa and look where he got to. Congratulations Jimmy 🎉🎉

[@christwomey3582]

Hey, just want to say that the in-car commentary is really good. Such an insight to how you and the car are feeling in the moment. Hope you can continue this for the N24!

[@SuperSulc]

That POV reminds me when I was 5 and dad let me sit behind the steering wheel.

[@Bassalicious]

This is the greatest thing ever. It really doesn't seem quite real hearing you narrate your own lap at pace in a race around the Nordschleife irl. So good

[@blufalconactual3807]

Almost brings me to tears seeing you on the actual Nürburgring in an actual racing car. So happy for you, Jimmy.

[@marionjoseph]

So freaking proud of you Jimmer! You guys did amazing! Thanks so much for all the smiles you've brought me and many others over the years. You may have not finished first in the race, but you'll always be first in our hearts! Enjoy it, you've earned it.

[@ainmeile]

I watched a good chunk of the NLS6/7 live streams and the drama that went down so I'm frickin hyped to see the in-car. I don't know why it didn't occur to me that there would be live Jimmer commentary but of course there is - talking while racing is your superpower!

[@Dornogol]

this is not footage from the 12h race though

[@ainmeile]

@@Dornogol yeah I know. I should have been clearer: I am looking forward to seeing that footage - especially from when Steve SENT one into Mutkurve (spoiler)

[@vash_dakari]

Well, this video explains the dimples I saw on the rear of the Bilstein car in Steve's video. Glad it wasn't too serious and everyone was okay. Keep livin the dream!

[@tyrone.c]

The helmet POV and in-car commentary is incredible, I can't wait for more of it. If we could get it live one day that would be something else...

[@pooky4006]

I was there as well incase you remember, the younger guy being with you at the start of the race, waiting for the cars to finally pass by and it was so nice having a talk with you, someone who plays a role in me finding my way into irl motorsport. Showing how you can go from sim to irl! Lovely to now see the video to this day!!

[@gamingvibrations5320]

Such a classic Jimmer moment to try and talk in a helmet over a loud race car. Either way, living the dream, mate, for all of us fellow nerds. Having followed your journey for a few years I am very proud of what you have accomplished.

[@xXxDeamonlordxXx]

I´m absolute no Mercedes Fan, but seing this old 190E evo made me smile. Right where this high reving Masterpiece of engineering belongs, on a Racetrack. I would have wished for an M3 e30 DTM to accompany him. Also, nice Driving, Jimmy. You know, you travel this journey and take all of us, all watchers, patreons and members with you. Its a Pleasure that you have all of us while chasing and fulfilling your Dreams.

[@sonicsupersam7793]

been so excited for this video! good job jimmer and the rest of the team for persevering through the weekend :)

[@ouonouanwilfried-desire7758]

It's strange BUT. I'm so glad it's Misha that binned it. I someone was to do it, i prefer it was him. Our guys would feel so bad and lose so much confidence if they were the one crashing

[@geehammer1511]

Yeah I agree it's good that Misha is taking the hits for the team. He has the muscles for it after all lol.

[@hudanofendi3028]

Yeah, I'm glad that misha is the one that crashing a lot and being the most experienced driver

[@Jardier]

Fantastic mate...so proud of you!

[@laddken]

Sorry to see that the other car didnt see you guys and forced a situation that didnt need to be there, but all in all looks like a good weekend! glad to see your getting more comfortable with the track and car!!! good luck to you and the team on this up coming epic adventure!

[@Tjescoo]

Misha is keeping his 100% of own cars crashed streak spot on!

[@JayEmSea]

That chincam view gives such a perspective of the speed, it looks incredible!

[@lordofthenoobies2445]

So, the question, that moves us all: Will Minty get a Bilstein suspension now?

[@Wall562]

Fantastic to see the 3 of you living out the dream. Will be following you Steve and Misha all the way.

[@Kompoism]

Even after a small knock this car looks so fun to drive! Absolutely loving the irl racing content since day one, but seeing you guys do this on the Ring is special to watch! Also that Merc is sexy af.

[@hockeyfan0012]

20:58 getting those plugs in there, you're turning into a real racer!

[@ghomerhust]

glad misha's little spin wasn't anything bad and both he and the car are alright. honestly his days on the track during open driving probably saved him there

[@grunerkaktus]

First race I watched from start to finish in ages. I am very happy for you guys and I feel like you all did a great job. There were some sick overtakes and laptimes in this. Well done

[@DataRew]

That effing knob came over like some sim racing newb. My sympathies to you, Misha, and all involved! ❤

[@coolsharkracing7941]

I remember when i first started sim racing. Jimmy was just a awesome streamer in his mums shed. I rember showing my dad some of your streams. Now Jimmy is driving irl championships and just a massive inspiration for us all

[@wheels.3239]

It has been a pleasure and an inspiration to watch... 22:50 Thank you Jimmer!!

[@gravedigger5279]

Best of luck for your next races

[@fillman86]

this makes me really riled up and want to drive that track!!

[@rubencarver3758]

Been with you since the days of the shed and no idea of IRL racing. I'm freaking out seeing you out there Jimmer, and it better give you as much happiness as your videos have done for me over the years. Go get 'em man

[@vilimracki841]

Jimmy your progress trough RLR is amazing.

[@RubyRoks]

So stoked to see you driving that car! Shame about that incident during Misha's stint, but shit happens and yall kept going round. Glad it wasn't worse. Looking forward to the video on the 12hr!!!

[@lowcorrelation]

man, if youre currently in a shitty situation right now in life, just wanted to say keep your head up! find a passion and stick with it! look at jimbo here. a couple years ago, I remember him wearing that Japanese headband playing GT4 in a god damn shed. fast forward a few years later, hes out of the shed (and somehow still pale af LOL) and racing on the ring in a race car! this is evidence that sticking with your passion and never giving up does. don't listen to the haters. find something and pursue it. be tanacious. be like water. you can do it! *brofist*

[@henrykjachimski3650]

This race may not have gone ideally. But it's just one of many. And every one of them is a learning experience. I'm so glad you've got this opportunity and that you can share it with Annie, Misha and Steve. Who knows where this will go from here: SP10s, maybe eve SP9s? The sky is the limit. And I live to see this!

[@apeman2981]

Living the dream and allowing others to dream too. Great job.

[@dasraffnix9471]

I smiled like a little kid after Jimmer waved back while being pushed back into the garage just prior to Saturday's race.

Proud of you Jimmer. I remember watching you years ago. You even had a vole run into your shed which scared the hell out of you. Boy done good.

@Jimmy Broadbent .... if the youtube thing doesn't wok out, you always have a job as a train announcer to fall back on! :-)

[@stevecleaver8933]

Great video Jimmy, so glad you were able to take part & get a good feel for the car on circuit before you had to do the 2 x 6 hour races. The only thing I was really disappointed about is that YOU KEPT IGNORING THE REBEL TREE !!! Not ONCE did I see you wave to it as you went by & it's been such a friend to you over the years !!

[@nathandamsteeg4850]

thanks for the signature, it was awesome seeing you drive around the ring.

[@bigbaza30]

Awesome video Jimmy. TY for the upload

Crazy that this funny lad started in his parents’ shed… Loved seeing the POV footage!

[@rynosraceroom66]

So awesome ! Great job Jimmer .

[@Wes179]

Hey boss! For some audio tips while racing check out some moto vloger videos and see about their setups to capture their voice through the helmet while riding. They all run go pros and other action cams with a mic inside their helmets. Hopefully, this will give you some good ideas for future videos so we can hear your wonderful voice while you are out on track 😎 i love the progression on your channel to these videos. Entertaining as always!

[@jibtastic4]

Onboard commentary is going be awesome moving forward! Good job jimmy

[@GGA-FlakBus]

Misha using the old Bailey strat of damaging the car to have the fastest lap! 😉

[@iterativeincremental]

I am so looking forward to next years 24H race! You and Micha are probably my biggest influences to take up virtual lapping on the ring and trying to get into the 'sub 7 club'. I really hope you all get along quite well and have a lot of fun with this. When I think about the videos that marked a 'low' on this channel, like the mental health struggles it is super good to see that dreams are followed regardless of such issues and dreams actually can come true.

[@Dudsy907]

Our boi Jimmer is on the ring !!! *sniff* 🤧

[@fuzzywumble]

I am so frick frackin proud of you Jimmer! From the shed to the ring. it's amazing to see your achievements and enjoy your experiences vicariously like this. I'm so damn excited for what the future holds and I can't wait to see more! LUBBERS!

[@giorx5]

Congrats Jimmy! All the best for the future and be grateful for what you live, without stop trying for the best.

[@seanhancockphotofilm8960]

I'm so glad you had time to take stock on the "in lap" it really was amazing to come along for the ride. Enjoy every moment. It's been a real blast.

[@bencevarga6304]

In some corners you got the rear wheel loaded like freaking F1 driver!

[@oldieman730]

Great experience Jimmy. A handful of years ago you were throwing sim-cars around that circuit with regularity.. and here you are man, doing it in the real world. Kudos.

[@nicholasmarshall3191]

Lovely job Jimmy. I was lucky enough to be stationed at a nearby US Air Force base, got to do laps around the Ring in a brand new Volvo V70R, (Angry wife) see a few GP's, and see M. Schumacher at a Schumacher Days event.

[@katrinapaton5283]

I honestly cant say Ive been waiting for this moment for the last five years because I could never have imagined this happening back then. What a crazy roller coaster its been!

[@shakenjuggler]

I know this is probably a waste of time, but you can clean up your audio from just after Future VO Jimmy pops up in either Davinci Resolve Fairlight pannel by removing the frequencies between 20Hz and 550hz and anything after say, 2800Hz. It gives it an in car feel to it. I am sure you can do the same in Audacity if you have Adobe Creative Suite. I hope this helps.

[@TuxLetsPlay]

Annie dabbing in the year of our lord 2023.... I strongly approve since I too am down with the kids and still dab from time to time

[@GabrielCSousa]

That's kinda funny that years ago before all this stuff you, Steve and Misha were (and still are) the main guys i used to watch about racing. Couldn't be happier to see you guys where you are right now! Cheers and good luck next week!

[@mikulitsi1819]

Amazing stuff Jimmy. So happy for you

[@torchbearer3784]

Amazing seeing you guys race! So Jimmy is out there talking to him self while driving😂 Those sim racing habits won't go away easily. You need a chat screen in the car!

[@S73PJY1971]

[@samacw]

Great video, good to see project 'Ring BMW going well. Nobody wins without testing.

[@discover62]

Outstanding vid 👍

[@Karibanu]

Poor Misha, having a rough patch atm... dealing with people randomly moving around & not checking mirrors an area simracing *can* help, at least from my very minor experience :p hope he's not trying to live up to some self-imposed standard as "the expert". Great to see you having fun there. Watched last weekend live, congrats on Sunday ( and Saturday until spoilers )! Misha did a video about "what is RCN" some years ago, I think given the questions in livestream you might want to do something explaining the intricacies of VLN ( stint & average stint lengths, pitstop times, code 60s and how much time you can lose & how you can't pick a fastest driver based on that, what equipment the circuit has for live video feed, etc ). I know there's a lot out there already but you're apparently bringing a new audience to the series.

[@ricardo1e93]

Oh the Dacia team came back?? 😳 I need to look for more 😮

[@Sworn973]

Amazing that you got here! Quick random question, when two drivers are side by side, and one want to squeeze the other, leaving the famous one car length, but the other car just continue straight, if we collide, who is in fault here? One has the right to squeeze the other but then you can't turn into the other car

[@NicolasBeaulieuQc]

Stay wholesome Jimmy. We love you like this 🙌🙌🙌

[@khaotika943]

"The marshals are very strict about the Code 60s. Gotta watch that speed!" _Places camera directly in front of speedometer for the whole stint._
