@@snappy452 its absolute insanity, the thing snaps ridiculously fast on throttle imput, seems to not have too much downforce since it does wheelies at 250km/h, if you touch the grass you are gone to a different country on a metal and carbon coffin, etc. This is an absurd level of skill that probably not many pepole have.

I agree. Im an ansolute crap at simracing and all i do is go for laps on Assetto Corsa every now and again and i had the most laughs with the 5000000000hp formula car mod that jimmy made a video on quite a while ago. I didnt complete half a lap anywhere on that thing, but its fun to see it flyng down the track and then going trough walls in the replays.

5:36 Jimmer, what you are doing is the famous Senna throttle technique, stabbing the throttle in the corner in order to keep the speed.

[@glenwaldrop8166]

I just learned about that myself. I've been doing that for years, didn't realize it was a thing. Driving powerful cars on old tires (I've helped build more than I've owned, they get tires after we're done with them), it's just natural.

[@0cs025]

maybe that's the natural tendency to do when struggling with a turbo car

[@SubitusNex]

@@0cs025 I've heard that's one of the theories although ppl will say he did it before he drove turbos competitively.

[@SubitusNex]

Came here to say this :D

[@CaroFDoom]

@@0cs025 the turbo theory really falls apart when you consider the fact that he did it in literally everything, he just became a human traction control in the same way that pumping the brakes is a human ABS.

As someone who's only had a light dabble in sim racing, this looks SO hard. way harder than the X2010. you got an h-pattern and clutch, not enough downforce, not enough tyres, huge turbo lag, extremely challenging circuit. I guess such a wealth of experience on this track really helps, and of course experience experience. Very impressive drive (eventually :p ) edit: getting to the end of the video, jimmy also says it was probably harder than the X2010. Serious respect.

[@TheJerseyNinja]

I mean, as a ballpark figure, you’d need a car with 5.2 Decillion lb-ft of torque to bring the earth from a standstill to its current rotational speed in 1 second. So even if you had 2 Billion cars all with 5,000 lb-ft of torque each all driving in the same direction non stop and getting grip somehow, that’s effectively 10 trillion lb-ft of torque a second. That means it would take those cars 5.2x10^20 seconds or 16,489,100,000,000 years or 16.5 trillion years to bring the earth from a standstill to its current rotational speed. That’s 3,629 times longer than the earth has been a thing. And this is VERY ballparked here. Sorry, just the saying of fast cars don’t go fast they make the earth spin underneath them has just always bothered me lol

"I'm like my own traction control" I just watched a video about Senna recently and that's pretty much what he did with the gas peddel when he would accelerate.

I was inspired by your videos to find a way to virtually hotlap the Nordschleife. I couldn't quite justify buying Automobilista or Assetto Corsa at this time since I barely use the games I already own. But I did find a version of the Nordschleife for Raceroom for only 8 bux, and their Formula Raceroom car is only 3 bux. It's a pretty fun combo even though I suck. One reason I might wind up buying Assetto Corsa is because there's a historic version of the Sudschleife available. Getting a chance to drive long forgotten ghost tracks is quite a selling point.
