Disagree, that's not target fixation. He's not hitting the car because he's looking at it, he's hitting it because he overcooked the corner, the other guy behaved weirdly, and their lines simply came together. In fact, Jimmer very specifically aimed to the right of him, which isn't what he would be doing if he was fixated

the brake tapping from the GR86 is a very common issue with the old G27 style pedals from logitech. The potentiometer gets dirty and worn out over time and starts registering an inaccurate pedal position. Typically the brake input in-game will look very jittery and spikey. Mine was actually so bad, that without a fairly significant deadzone set up, my brakes were always on, with spikes being registered all the time.

[@bridqer5573]

the dude trying to let you by when you're a second+ back is the prime example of racing streamers/influencers differently when you shouldn't.

[@onetrueosprey8578]

I think the 8:04 crash was actually on the BMW, cause just before the collision the BMW starts turning sharply to the right directly into the Lambo. Think they may have gotten the track layout confused and tried to turn into the coned off turn, and because that wasn't the correct way crashes into the Lambo.

[@MegaNardman]

I simply don't understand how that's 100% on the Lambo (unless the bimmer's turn-in was caused by contact). Like you said, bimmerguy turned in like he was taking the coned-off road. You wanna talk about unpredictable racing lines, this would be it (but it was probably an intentional block).

I absolutely hate incidents like Jimmy's, you approach the slower class presuming he will take a normal line and knowing its not a good place to pass you slow down.

[@mozzaplaysgames7897]

Agreed. The LMP2 did wrong, Jimmy could of avoided it by guessing what the LMP2 was doing correctly, But a racing line isn't really a guessing instrument, it's kind of universal, everyone in an LMP2 should take the same line at similar speeds but this was the wrong line at a very incorrect speed, resulting in a wild closing distance from Jimmy

[@TomGS]

On the brakes bit.. I often do this, on purpose. Wait... waaait, hold them pitchforks... On some circuits, where there is a long time between braking zones (spa turn 3, bathurst after the chase, last 3 corners of the ring... you get the idea), brakes tend to be a bit cold at the braking point. So a small tap, or ghosting the brakes for a couple of tenths, usually brings them back to operating temps, making the most on the initial bite of the brake. Also, it allows a deeper braking point ( because you are a bit slower and because your brakes are at a better temperature). To be clear, i think Jimmy is right here. He might be ghosting the brakes inadvertently due to a lack of dead zone. But be aware this is a thing, too.

It always baffles me when so often the person who VERY clearly screws up in spectacular fashion is instantly angry at the person who did absolutely nothing wrong.

hearing Jimmy talk about his own incident at the Daytona 24 reminded me of some advice that FailRace gave in a live stream once, specifically in response to someone else asking for general driving advice (because they were about to go for their actual driving license test). it was a two part answer, first "don't ask the internet for advice" (lol), but second and possibly more importantly, "don't be courteous, be predictable".. but honestly, I would say the same concept applies in racing, just with everything happening at much higher speeds and with much less space between vehicles. which makes that idea exponentially more important. "hold your line" isn't just a suggestion, it's an unwritten rule of driving fast.

I watched the Daytona clip live and I think you summed it up great! It was just an unfortunate situation. The lmp2 car was going really slow, you missed your brake point and well you tried to avoid them and couldn't. I'd say the crash is mostly on you but the other car had a big role to play. Driving so slowly even off the racing line causes the following car to close the distance so fast, that it is hard to determine where they are going and what they are doing. You trip over them so easily because of the speed difference alone. Very nice gesture from them but better to race your race..

[@Minx5892]

It is the job of the faster guys to pass safely, yes. But it is much easier when one class goes one way and the other class the other. You can predict and plan out better. It's genuinely frustrating when some GTs do not follow this. T1 at Daytona is an absolute pain in the lmdh due to the brakes. One little bit of extra brake and your car locks up and you cannot turn at all. In my Daytona split some GTs stayed high, which forced me low meaning I had a much tighter entry, which forces me to brake harder leading to the danger of locking up and ploughing into the tyre wall, maybe with a few cars being collected. The LMDh doesn't have the acceleration the LMP1s had, you need to use that aero to pass. You can't use it if your line is compromised. TLDR drive the line the rest of the slower cars do.

Im glad you explained that second clip the way you did, because most sim 'drivers' would rage if they thought they made a clean overtake like that but still got spun out like #4 did, but they have to understand that they would overtake with caution in real life so why not in the game. its a sort of arrogance imo

[@brink3045]

I don't think I agree fully on that pink lambo situation. In my eyes it looks like the BMW is turning in way before the corner to have a late block of the inside line, or just to stright up hit the lambo. I feel like the angle of the BMW would leave them way into the grass before the corner apex. It just seemed too off to be an actual attempt at a corner for me. TBF could be the lambo netcoding a slight hit on the right rear corner of the Bimmer making it turn in sharply, seen some cases where a slight nudge on a particular angle of the rear corner send the car to the side. Hard to tell, but I feel like it wasn't just as simple as blaming the pink-mobile. Not meant as critique btw, just a calm and collected topic of discussion.

13:00 - This is actually applicable in normal everyday driving too. I can't tell you how many accidents I've witnessed, and also accidents that either I've _almost_ been involved in, or seen people narrowly avoid, when people on the road are trying to be courteous instead of taking their right-of-way. I get that people like to be nice, but when its your right-of-way and you give it up, you become unpredictable and people on the road no longer understand what it is that you're going to do. And many people on the road don't have the ability to adapt, because they don't always need to; they're trying to get from point A to point B. So, moral of the story: Don't give up your right-of-way. Unpredictable courtousy is still unpredictable, and you may end up causing an accident (or getting into one yourself) when you're only trying to be nice. One of the worst examples is yielding when you have the right-of-way (rear-endings happen a lot because of this) or locking up a stop-sign and refusing to go when its your turn (causing more than one car to take the right-of-way from you).

[@JosephDalrymple]

Merging onto a highway at a slow speed is also a good way to get your rear taken out when you pull into 75mph traffic while going 35-40mph lol. But that's less about giving away your right-of-way and more on the side of being unpredictable and not assimilating with the rest of traffic. This is also why many jurisdictions, esp. in Texas, do not ticket you for speeding if you're going with the flow of traffic: It's safer to match everyone's speed then to be the odd one out going 10-15mph slower than everyone else.

[@mrchico2621]

It's different on the racetrack though. Often the same people who say that are the first to complain when someone doesn't get out of their way and end up costing them time. You can't win sometimes 🤷‍♂

[@JosephDalrymple]

@@mrchico2621 Oh for sure hahah

4:21 "resafe joinly"! Lol. Point well made regardless. Thanks for the laugh, with, not at you Jimmy. I'm not even sure why I'm commenting. Just found it funny. No disrespect intended brother!!!!! Good luck with the Praga car this year!!

[@WhiteHatH4x0r]

Honestly when I saw Jimmy’s incident at Daytona I also thought that the P2 car had gone wide but was still going to turn in to T1, so I can definitely see why Jimmer went to the right to try & miss him. It did look worse from onboard tho 🙀Either way I enjoyed watching the race

[@owenb6914]

9:00 lets talk about how early the BMW steard because he would end up on the grass at the inside

8:24 How is that the lambos fault? The BMW moved to the left to brake and then turned into the lambo to push him off the track?

[@MegaCm123456]

Exactly. The BMW driver wasn't turning into the corner. Rather he panicked.

[@pouyan225]

This

[@polostone8876]

this. ty. I don't where the bmw tries to go but there's just no corner

[@anthonylwalker]

fairly sure slowed down the lambo clips the rear right of the BMW causing it to come right, rather than him turning right. I think the BMW was trying to get over left to brake straight line for the corner.

[@blindobserver]

@@anthonylwalker You might be right, though it's tough to see from this angle.

Jimmy looking at his own incident is a great example of why you shouldn't assume malice on behalf of other drivers. In isolation the incident looks quite bad but having his thought process explained you can see why it happened even if he is still at fault. Don't fall down the rabbit hole of always assuming the worst in other drivers and sim racing will be a much nicer place

[@firedell1031]

4:29 it looks like the front axle remains within the track it looks like. Is the one tire thing an f1 specific thing?

[@xhappybunnyx]

Absolutely love these videos, please never stop doing them

[@AzagthothF1]

Good to know that in a multi-class race, the slower cars can hold their racing line when a faster car is approaching. Only drove once in a multi-class race and got out of the way each time a faster car approached me..

[@RH-hz9ly]

Jimmy's argument at one point is right since you can clearly see he turns right but on another point of view it's a deliberate crash 😂😂😂😂

[@Amy-iy4ti]

3:06 love that little amphibia audio clip there

[@dumkidgeek22]

4:20 "resafe joinly" yeah i always do that, for sure...

[@fahada1921]

It’s 1000% your responsibility. Doesn’t matter that he did something unpredictable because that unpredictable thing didn’t compromise you in anyway. In fact he stayed completely out of your way.

[@voodue8658]

watching the live stream, you seemed to look away from the race for a "second" and then look back and realize "it was at this moment I F*d up" and that's my amateur opinion from watching the stream, cheers etc. another fun, and educational racing video Thanks.

[@voodue8658]

@Jimmy Broadbent i've had two spam messages on this one comment, just fyi...

[@Bacho_Grande]

Slight consternation arose within DHR to assess elements of Jimmer's final stint before this incident occurred. Anxiety filled questions abound (from pit people and the driver tbf) like: How many laps remain? Where's the leader? Can I catch P4? How much fuel is in the tank at the line? Do I have to pit on the last lap? Add in Broadbent running a double stint, then rapidly approaching a P2 not driving predictably... ... and I believe Jimmy target focused/panic'd on the other car. My opinion is that his braking, down-shifting and line were likely going deep into T1 regardless (if not off the track). Unfortunate that it ultimately collected the P2, though I don't know if that's where Jimmy's eyes were locked, but it was an obstacle he wanted to avoid, only to do the exact opposite. I'd guess a lot of faster class drivers in sim racing have done this at some point.
