[@ktsince83]

If someone has a relative at Sky Sports, this fella needs to be on tv on a Sunday afternoon, because his commentary is fantastic. Great video Jimmy.

[@podcastbunker]

Kev Taylor I’ve been saying that for months. I sent Radio Le Mans a link. Others should do the same. He has the perfect tone in his voice that mixes perfectly with racing sounds. And he has a such a talent to ad lib so naturally. He’s a “natural” racing announcer. I’d hire him in a minute & I was in radio for 20 years.

[@ktsince83]

@@podcastbunker Totally agree. How the hell no one has picked him up is beyond me

[@philrod1]

Better still, have him commentating whilst also driving in the race.

[@N3V2-Nevto]

I know he is a commentator for virtual Le Mans presented by Gran Turismo Sports TV. He does commentator stuff there maybe soon he might if he pleases do that kind of job as well :D

[@Benedocta]

I mean I don't wanna be a dick and I agree that Jimmy is a great dude making interesting content, buuut. You know, he has a speech impediment. That's quite an issue to be a commentator on TV.

[@tuna_6548]

They did send an F1 around Bathurst, piloted by Jensen Button and Craig Lowndes.

[@glenchapman3899]

Until the mid 70s they did run open wheelers at the track until a dreadful accident where a car got airborne over one of the 'humps' going down conrod.

[@stephenjones4134]

Neil Allen in McLaren held the outright lap record for years

[@AUmarcus]

They added the chase to negate that issue....

[@glenchapman3899]

No the chase was added to comply with regulations for the World Touring car competition, which Bathurst became a round for in the late 80s. I think they also lowered one of the humps at the same time though which would have made life a little easier for open wheelers.

[@AUmarcus]

Awesome work Jimmy, I'm always amazed by your ability drive and commentate.

[@Atticvs32]

Wooooooooooooooow, you were on fire in this one! So many great overtakes & so much push, so exhiliaratingly quick in clean air! Just one small note: I have found that the realistic AI in R3E might actually be 107, not 105, at least that's the one that roughly matches leaderboard times for the M235i on Road America and the Salzburgring... So maybe the AI was a bit low, but hey - an average Joe like me cannot even beat the 105 AI this consistently on pace, let alone the 107 one. Great video.

[@ziggythecartoon]

Sensational racing, Jimmy! Those overtakes for 10th and 9th were artfully done!

[@wang5009]

jimmy: 300km/h that's 20 miles an hour. big brain jimmer

[@seanbrady400]

[@ZeldaACFan17]

[@ZeldaACFan17]

He actually said 320km/h and 200mph

[@unfortunately_fortunate2000]

320 kmh is 200 and that he was at 300 which is 20 kmh under 200 mph Big brain commenter

[@slackjaw703]

Love to hear you call actual races on tv. Remember when you had 10 times less subs, knew you were gonna be huge. Congrats mate!

[@BadgerOff32]

I've literally just spent the last 5 or 6 hours racing F1 cars round Bathurst in the Nations Cup on Gran Turismo Sport, and KZbin decided to recommend this video to me lol. Racing F1 cars around Bathurst is *REALLY* fun! You can proper chuck them around this circuit, especially the newer cars.

[@daniellofgren6577]

How in the name of god are you able to drive an an F1 car on a race at Bathurst, react to what happens around you, manually stift gears AND still comment what you`re doing all the time- I salute you👍🏻

[@kylehamilton2777]

Australia has a new open wheel category called S5000 that will be starting soon with cars based on the old school Formula 5000 cars from the 70's but with a whopping great 5L V8. The cars will have moderate downforce levels to emphasize the drivers skills and modern safety features like the halo. If we are lucky in the next few years we can see these S5000 monsters racing around Bathurst in the days before the Bathurst 1000.

[@donlucio03]

When will I run out of bois Boi Here

[@xgngna]

This has been one of the most exciting and genuinely entertaining races I've ever seen! Thank you so much, Jimmy! You've made my day!

[@Dayrahl]

There is a new race track in Australia called the bend I think you should give it a look.

[@mikespearwood3914]

I wonder if that could end up hosting an F1 race.

[@thehastywombat]

@@mikespearwood3914 IFAIK its built to FIA Tier 2 standards not Tier 1. I'm not sure what the difference is though.

[@Brenno-oy7br]

not really a big deal but T2 is actually called Griffins Bend. Quarry is the T5-6 section of track after the Cutting. Loved the video regardless, as always

[@realterrine]

great race, please note the first corner after hell corner is GRIFFINS BEND and then the cutting and then quarry....and then

[@pirozcontractor6006]

300K special should be a whole Jardier impression by Jimmer for 10 mins straight . . . I'm sure you'd agree on this ...

[@tomasg4623]

I usually dont like vr videos but I really enjoyed this one

[@lyleelliott3720]

One of the main reasons for not being able to race is at the chase due to the speed it is common in V8 supercars for a crash in the dirt and because of the fact it's not level leading to the high possibility of flipping which will be extremely dangerous and expensive.

[@ditchs14]

Jimmy, I think you can click "use H pattern" in the game or the controller setting

[@agenthoini]

Not if the car doesnt use an h pattern in real life (or in this case the devs fantasy)

[@the_different_dad9943]

I am in a league on iRacing and we run everything around the mountain every fortnight. We have done from the Indy car to the Mazda to the NASCAR to the GT1s . Always great fun.

That is the best Mt Panorama simulator programme I've seen.They have come a mighty long way since the first one I had.

[@yosagiyojimbo5883]

Great content. However the track is Griffins Bend and then The Cutting

[@bbvibrabb]

I love tracks with lots of changes in elevation. Fucking awesome video

[@zombieke0123]

My heart is racing just from watching that last lap. Top notch entertainment as always, Jimmer!

[@dazaspc]

LOL I saw Formula 5000 race there in the 70's and they were crazy. The straight was also without the kink and I believe they were maxed out RPM wise for the last third of the straight.

[@Benpai_]

Jimmy B getting sponsorships and I was here when he played gran turismo 2. How far we've come 😍

[@armasplaygrounds6355]

Nice driving there, Jimmer, better race than half a season in real life F1 nowadays

[@ThomasNing]

I can say at least some if the VR experience came through, that looked like a lot of fun.

[@jsma9999]

Turn 2 at Bathurst is called Griffins Bend-Named after Martin Griffin, the Mayor of Bathurst whose vision it was to create the circuit,

[@chrisdunford7524]

Great driving - and entertaining commentary !

[@cowmandaman7]

Nice to see a proper sponsor. Get that bread!

[@yeahnahsweetas]

Great stuff there lad. Very enjoyable.

[@katrinapaton5283]

Gods, 30,000 subs away from 300k. Those were the days.

[@BenKuyt64]

Mount Panarama works really well for V8 Supercars because they can rub a lot more, so dirty passing works better. But in open wheel, it's just too messy.

[@gjermundhigraff7789]

I drove a two hour race at Bathurst in GP2 back in the day (the day being when GP2 was still relatively current). That was fun.

[@nikkidixon5672]

Ferrari only semi auto in 1990. 1991 saw Williams bring there's out, wasn't until Brazil 92 that mclaren release theirs, a rather rushed effort because the FW14 b was miles ahead, benneton had there's by 93 and also a few other teams. Crazy how it all works, with so little computer advancement by then, now it's just the norm. Great video jimmer 👍👌

[@misguidance__]

This was bloody amazing! Proper on edge stuff I would love to see a longer race here in those cars. So much movement and exhaustion lol

[@MrnintendoSEGAfan1]

Jimmy + 90’s f1 V8 + VPN Sponsor + P9 finish = sweaty but Happy boi

[@loathesome_pilk_drinker]

Very exciting video Jimmerino!

[@sunsolaris]

Also the reason the mountain section of Bathurst feels like a street course is because technically Bathurst is a street course, everything is public just closed off during races, it was designed to be race track if I remember correctly but they were contracted to build a public road but the designers built it like a race track because they wanted to build one.

[@oriolgonzalez9328]

Yes, basically it went like this: - some blokes: how about we build a race track? - government: wont give money for that - blokes: how about a scenic driving road? For tourism? - government: nah yeah sounds good -blokes: *builds road* you know what we could use this road for? A race track!

[@Moiiiiii]

Jimmer brorbendt doing the question I've been asking for 2 days

[@tonygeinzer6034]

Jimmy, F1 at Bathurst would be Epic! I feel like while we are on epics, I don't know if Formula 1 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway would be fun and the opposite of Tilke. And, I'd wonder if an Alan Wilson Road Course Work (Heartland Park Topeka) would be more alert to the Natural Terrain of the Natural Terrain Road Course (IE, Lighter on the Shenigans, pertinent wanting the NHRA National Event Dragstrip as part of Sim, if available.)

[@Gersti96]

8:45 “really just feels alive down there” Thicc boi, 2020, quote of the year.

[@Willieswheels]

you're looking so well mate!

[@jeremeymcdude]

I really like the looks of the early 90's cars since they look similar to the CART cars of the time. they're definately not the same but you could probably have a much more even race between the two.

[@mattcope8982]

Pure racing.... brilliant...

[@captaincondescending]

'grats on the big boy sponsorship, Jimmer! :)

[@asifvirk953]

AWESOME MY FAVORITE TRACK. AWESOME RACE JIMMY.

[@danpitts9466]

I often wish I could see some of your better passes or technical/dicey corners from replay view. Perhaps you could run some highlights at the end of the vid? Just a thought. Great stuff!

[@belevezero2279]

there is an H-pattern toggle in the advanced controller options, though you probably tried that, just an fyi

[@zavodszkiabel7919]

I don't think they should, they'd have to widen the track itself, install run off zones, build new stadium parts etc. That would ruin Bathurst as it is now.

[@apexinstinct]

What if Indycar raced at Bathurst?

[@lukmanfirdaus8497]

With superspeedway config

[@danfiske2125]

Love your videos Jimmy. The corner after mountain straight is Griffins bend not Quarry. Quarry is after the cutting.

[@kakhak]

One of the greatest epic race tracks ever built.

[@suhdud4646]

The past few days, Ive been wacking around Bathurst in the F2004 on AC. Its SO fun, and when you get that flowie section right going up the hill towards the crest, hmmmm oh so sweet. PS: Express is a terrible vpn - Go for Asrtill

[@carbonmafiaracewheels]

Jenson Button did a lap of Bathurst in his F1 car.

[@GreenJEntertainment9]

great race! helluva lot of energy needed for that one! another great entertaining video!

[@winsorracing7797]

Just a slight correction becuase unfortunately I'm that guy: Turn 2 you referred to as Quarry, quarry is after the cutting, the right and left kink. Turn 2 is called Griffins bend. Then the fast flowing left hander is called Mcphillamy, then the downhill is the skyline followed by that left hander called the dipper where you can left the inside front wheel.
