Thanks a lot, a lot for sharing all that with so much passion and enthusiasm, you just earned a new fan in Team Thiim ! Good luck for this weekend :)

[@kaiying74]

Man that's a beautiful car.

[@thebucketofawesomeness8700]

Only thing about the WEC not coming back to Silverstone any time soon I won’t get a chance for a padock signing any time which sucks as you’ve been one of AMR’s best and most genuine drivers! Miss the sound of this old 4.7 as well 😢 I filmed for AMR back in 2012 when this was launched,even going from the uk to covering Sebring all for my grad film

[@paolunna]

yo guys!!! amazing stuff!!

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Paolo Tisi Good you like it brother! :)

[@SiskaLeen]

Have more outings at Spa coming up this year, Nicki? Came looking on KZbin for much needed monday motivational music to get going in the office after another Francorchamps weekend working the medical car - what's better than listening to that sexy beast of an Aston on my favorite track?! Thanks for sharing!

[@boudewijnkuster6217]

Netflix & chill...? NO! Nicki Thiim and his Aston 😏 Hope to see you next year at Le Mans Nicki!

[@JaredR1996]

Masterful driving Nicki 👌👌👌👌👌

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Jared Richardson Thanks dude ! Appreciate it:)

[@nicktasche9366]

Cooles Video Nicki! Was mich mal interessieren würde, ist ob man den unterschied von einem GTE Auto, zu einem GT3 Auto merkt, und wenn ja, wie deutlich man ihn merkt und was für Unterschiede es allgemein gibt. Mach weiter so, vor allem mit den iRacing Videos ;)

[@KnutMattheisenEntertainment]

Sehr sehr geil... in den ersten beiden Runden hättest du in iRacing Ausgang Eau Rouge aber 2x Offtrack bekommen ;)))

[@anthonylee5305]

THANK YOU !!!

[@MikaHDCarVideo]

Thanks for your great work ;) I'm going to Le Mans once again this year and apparently this would be the last year of this model of Aston Martin and i found it a pity that there is never a camera embedded in this car ! Would it be possible for you to film a few laps with it ?

[@juxtaposeism]

THE best race circuit for me ;-) You love riding thee knifes edge ey?

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

juxtaposeism 100% erection driving spa in a Awesome GT car :) Thanks for watching my stuff dude.

Angelique Schuller Bitte Bitte mein lieber :) Genieß die Tour !

[@angelique5426]

Das werde ich ... die Boxen aufgedreht, zurück lehnen und ab geht der wilde Nicki 😎

[@beetesjuice]

Great video! Whats the setting change (2:05) prior to eau rouge?

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

beetesjuice Brake Setting mate.

[@dirksteffen9375]

Haha nice ;-) "Subscribe or Go Home" Nice video Nicki, thanks for sharing! Awesome sound and quite a bit rougher looking through your cam than you would think from seeing the track only through racing sims.

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Dirk Steffen Great you like it mate! Thank you

[@ZspotMotorsport]

Very cool, thanks for sharing. The steering appears to be very light, I assume the power assist is adjustable. Do you prefer a lot of assist?

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Mark Pelto VIKING ARMS MATE :)! Thanks for coming by.

[@ZspotMotorsport]

Haha, I have no doubt! You beast

[@mrs1986]

Hi Nicki, I follow you since a month or so, so I didn't see this video, trully amazing! Now, one question, how do you feel iRacing considering you are a real race driver?? Thanks a lot!! Keep up the great racing!

[@thetalkingelement2415]

Great video. I would love to see telemetry readings though.

[@DonPadre13]

Wow! Super! Thank you! Hello from Russia))))

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Anton Megget Yooooo Russia :) Thanks for stopping by!

[@tzioni]

can you explain a bit about the brake lights? they don't seem to work like the 2 purple dots at each side like in the Ford and the Ferrari. greetings from Israel, keep doing your thing, huge fan!

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Ran Tzioni of cause dude. We have it but it's really small so you can't see it from that angle. To be honest I don't really use them. You have to feel the tyres through the steering and car behaviour. The thing is you can't see the tyres so when you look it's to late with lights. So when you feel it you have to release to get the tyre rolling again and then ON again :)

[@Soulfood68]

I guess the brake lights can be helpful in rain sessions when overall grip is lower or when the tires are overheated.

[@rainerseiler6560]

Love :)

[@BlindGoose1]

LOL, "Subscribe Or go home" :D

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

BlindGoose1 Ohhh yeees baby :) ! Thanks for stopping by.

[@OlivierMDVY]

great video. Regarding the steering: in iRacing, using the auto FFB setting, how do you feel the steering compare to a real race car? too strong or too Light? or perfect? Thanks

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

OlivierMDVY Hard to say mate. Steering for is about feeling the tyres. Hard to in sim racing .

[@KoMDraegast]

My home track! Very enjoyable track isn't it? Racing the 24 hours there soon!

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

David M 100% erection every lap :) Thanks for watching mate.

[@KoMDraegast]

Make sure your suit is 1 size bigger than usual in that case ;) Umpala!

[@schwabbelbackemegawanst9084]

C u in May in Spa @ the WEC 2018 opener. Can't wait to watch the new green AMR Beauty do the trick. By the way, what's the car's name? I'm sure you call it in your special personal way. Mind sharing this special name with us?

[@rcg1469]

Awwsum dude!

[@kawika219]

Awesome video! One question: Is the pitot tube (air peed sensor) always that high on the hood, or is that for testing only?

[@Fivizzz]

But... But... But it's blue! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Fivizzz Same baby :)

[@DoctorHerbstein]

Color doesn't matter, only merit! :D

[@Spielner27]

you're the fucking master. Greetings from Spain. Good Video.

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Spielner27 Thanks brother! Appreciate it.

[@Descenter1976]

what time did you get Nicki, damn you are fast!

[@RobLongArt]

Does your class of racing come to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Ontario Canada?

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Robert Long you got the IMSA series coming by your door I think ? Thanks for watching my stuff.

[@porschiste911]

Nice build up! Do You end up taking Blanchimont flat out?

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Depends on Fuel and tyres mate but with Balls it should be flat in a GTE :)

[@porschiste911]

Haha great! I saw on her profile that You met my friend Caroline Llong in Le Mans, She has amazing artwork hasn't She? Have You bought anything from her?

[@YonnyMestampo]

I was expecting a VLN video.

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

YonnyMestampo This is better :)

[@edidolanski3760]

hallo Nicki, please i have one question. Dose the real car have different gear ration than one in sim. I see that almost whole lap you are max in 5th and best regards

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Edi Dolanski Haha. 6th is in mate :) you can't hear it from the V8 beast ?! :) Thanks for coming by .

[@edidolanski3760]

Than you Nicki. Till now a was BMW R6 motors fan, but from now on I am also Aston V8 fan. I wish you all the best on track. i hope I will see you on SPA 24h.

[@gamingfletch6216]

Hi Nicki, How about a lap commentary video with the footage from your V-box?

[@rulay809]

👍👍👍👍👍nice ....

[@allanbellemare1949]

You fucking rock, man!

[@PetriusGaming]

What are you adjusting just before Radillon / Eua Rouge at 2:04?

[@MrFoulksy]

Looks like brake bias?

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Pete Robinson Brake 100% to the rear for Euan rouge ;) No it's the Radio Mate, yes :) Thanks for watching mate

[@everythinggaming7938]

what if I do not subscribe and I am already at home?

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Rachid Khamlichi Im gonna wooooop your A..... then ;) haha. Thanks for coming by AND don't forget to SUBSCRIBE. :)

[@everythinggaming7938]

lol I subscribed ages ago

[@RexEnrico]

Nicki jeg kan se du bremser ved ca. 180 meter ved enden af Kemmel langsiden. I iRacing kan jeg når jeg kører Ferrari gøre det der hvor kurben starter på venstre side. Er det fordi du kører stille og roligt, eller har jeg for meget greb i iRacing? :)

[@perfectman3077]

Hi Nicki! Man, don't you wish GT cars could go back to stick shift transmissions? Flappy paddle should be for single seaters only.

[@TheGamingHungary]

How similar is iRacing's physics compared to real life's (on a 1-100 scale)? :)

[@JoaoPaulo-wi4ie]

Nicki how different are the Aston GT3 and the GTE?

[@elninyos]

4:06 6:25 = 2:19 Good job !

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Thank you buddy :)

[@SquirrelFromGradLife]

Var det en shakedown test før LM?

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

SquirrelFromGradLife copy that :)

[@rakamora2266]

Does it have reverse?

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

Henrik 990SMT yes but it hates it!

[@gianniq.195]

I already asked this at one of your le mans vlogs but i'm going to try again. 😁 What are those iron sticks with the curve at the top for on the hood of the car?

[@MPE-Workshop]

It's a Pitot tube :)

[@OldCompanions]

Antenna, pilot tube, pretty sure, used to collect and analyze data, even could be the radio, and I'm pretty sure the car itself sends information back to the pitbox and Aston Martin HQ. Maybe Nicki can confirm, but that would be my guess haha. Nice video though Nicki! :)

[@MPE-Workshop]

The antenna is mounted on the roof (see around 1:04). The tube on the hood is a Pitot tube, they are used to calculate airspeed (the relative speed between the car and the air). :)

[@OldCompanions]

Mattias Persson Okay thanks Mattias! ;)

[@gianniq.195]

Thanks guys! Really interesting! 👌

[@moose4908]

How did you even start your racing career ? :o

[@NickiThiim-DanskyJR]

ArgonianMoose Born in a Kart dude :) Thanks for stopping by.

[@moose4908]

Haha no wonder :p awesome driving

[@marekczarnecki6714]

What is that Pitot tube on the bonnet for?
