Ex-Stig Challenges Mat Armstrong to a SIM RACE! 

Mat is far more concerned about virtual car damage than real ones.

Imagine being these other players not knowing they are racing the stig 😂 that's the best

Ben Collins and Mat Armstrong collabs are always super fun videos. Both of you have given me so much entertainment recently, I'm so grateful for your work 🙏

Seeing Mat coach Ben on the simulator was not the outcome I was expecting 😆- Congrats on the new channel, Ben!

It almost feels wrong calling the stig a youtuber but your up there with the best. A joy to watch. Good luck with the channel

Little did Jimmy Broadbent know, that when Ben said "I'll get you next time!" it will be in the sim once he's practiced enough. ;) Will be fun to see your progress!

You're a big part of why I started sim racing all those years ago, Sir Stig... It's incredible to see you diving into sim driving!

One is the Stig, the other one a great grandchild of the first man on the moon. Amazing!

I was in that Porsche! I remember that pink McLaren racing the other McLaren ! NO WAY I RACED STIG😳😳

That was great! Always up for watching some good racing. Good luck with the new channel 🏆

Now this is gaming

This has made my day. A childhood hero plus the one of the sims I spend way too much time in. Your going to love it. The fact you jumped straight out, took one breath to straighten the motion wobbles, then instantly went hunting for Matts best time tells it all 😀

This is fantastic. Looking forward to what this channel has to offer in the future.

Great video Ben, instant like and subscribe from me. Quite a few sim racers are finding seats in real race cars as you know, but you going the other way with it is fascinating, with all your knowledge and insight from wrestling the real things. I look forward to following your journey!

That was so much fun to watch! Brilliant setup Mat.

Awesome work man! Sim Demon mentioned to me that you were jumping in the world of sim racing! Looking forward to the next video already!

Love the content Ben! My new favorite RU-vidr full stop.

Instant subscribe. Thank you Ben!! Just what I needed to see tonight.

Enjoy your time gaming! 🕹️ very different to your usual videos but very natural! 🥳

Bloody love these Videos Ben ... Especially the fact your my Racing Hero and I come from Plymouth in the mother land and live in New Zealand with such a huge Racing scene down here..Even better i race Assetto Corsa Competizione constantly...Great new Channel mate

I will happily watch every step of your sim racing journey, so cool to see an OG irl racer hop in the sim

Really enjoyed that Ben, Matt is a great sport and I didn’t even realise he was a sim racer! Really interested to see how you get on as I’ve I’ve been sim racing for 5 months and am really getting into it 👍🏻

Glad to see this finally happen! Can't wait to get involved, Ben! 👊💀🏁 #keepitcartel

Ben "Its quite bumpy, especially with contact" Mat tells him AFTER "Your rig may be 100%" 😂

Man I'm so excited to see how this channel plays out

Definitely had to subscribe to this, looking forward for the next video soon ❤

Big fan of Matt's channel, it's really awesome watching your channel aswell 😂, very fun episode. Would be fun to watch you two sim race on a little more serious level

what a world we live in, brilliant stuff guya

Mr Collins. Grew up watching you (just never knew it was you) Will continue to do so! Love from South Africa

I love how Ben truly wants Mat to get into racing because he sees the potential there. Would be great to watch Ben take Mat under his wing and get him to the next level in terms of racing.

Fantastic fun video mate! Some filthy driving going on there 😄 If you fancy a different challenge some time... Check out LA Canyons on the original Assetto Corsa. Miles of canyon roads featured on 'The Smoking Tire' videos. Careful though, there are no run-offs or gravel traps, if you go off you're 500ft down a cliff (might hurt in those rigs)!

Subscribed on this one, the first video I've watched on Stig's new racing channel.

Please more videos like this! Great video! 👌

Outstanding both of you 😀

Those rigs are amazing!

This was amazing Ben. More fun that F1 these days!!!

Looking forward to all the new videos good luck

Sim racing is the best. Great vid

Absolutely class lads

That was very entertaining 😂

Wow, I enjoyed this! I'd really like to try this myself.

That was class, those sims are intense 😂

100% name and shame.. bang out of order mate!

This is so brilliant to watch ..I can't stop laughing 😅

A history of racing games video done with your style would be epic.

I really enjoying Matt and stig videos Like the contents Please do more video with matt and his friends

Nice one to launch this channel! Try it with vr some time, im curious what your experience will be in vr vs. Screens. Cheers!

Subbed, best of luck!

Take Mat to NBR in his pink Gt3, that would be great, you are the OG!

Looking forward to the new content great to see the stig on a SIM.....

This is a great idea, get that gaming in. Didn't know you were involved with PC1&2 that's cool.

Nobody was behind you Matt 😂😂😂

Ben, seeing you used that sequential shifter make me want to see a early 2000s gt1 race between you, mat and Jimmy, would be an event for sure

awesome Da sting &Matt Armstrong racing co 🎉 awesome.

Wait ... Ben has a gaming channel ... Sweeeet

Looking forward to seeing what you do on here sir :-) and if you let anything slip about gtr revival ;-). Best of luck with the channel too.

"there's some bad driving in front of me." Welcome to ACC Stiggy

Love this

a gaming channel as well, you really want this youtube life :) I am here for it. next up ben colins IRL Vlog back story

Just amazing game play

yo very fun!

Awesome! I remember I was pretty good on Gran Turismo 4 on PS3 (played GT1, GT2, GT3 a lot on PSX, PS2)... but it was with a controller... Then a friend got a chair, wheel, pedals (this was in like 2005'ish so no moving chairs... just a force feedback wheel)... And I tried it, and I just had to start over all again... knew the tracks and cars pretty well... but turning with a controller even though analogue is pretty fast with a thumb/finger from full left to full right with a force feedback wheel it takes forever so... I had to drive in a total different way. So it sort of went from "Arcade" fun to actually have to brake before the corner and do minimal corrections (with the stick you could correct much faster with a bad brake, or too much speed)... Anyway... it took sometime to get used to (I had a force feedback wheel before that I played with on the PC though, so I was familiar with it) and relearn how to drive in GT4... Would love a setup like this...

Would love to see Matt add VR to these rigs and go for another round. The immersion of VR along with the motion would be killer to see. Ben's stomach may not agree however!!

That was awesome :)

Very entertaining video, please keep posting and this will take off, too! So when are you doing the Nordschleife? ;)

Awesome stuff, I can tell my mates I'm fast than the Stig😁

You're having way too much fun when you don't realize you're chasing P1 😅

Really surprising setting of the motion system. Usually they do the opposite of what we are seeing in this video under braking and acceleration

That looked like fun.

Reporting for duty 🫡 Best of luck with the new channel. I will be looking forward to following your journey 💪🏻

Good to see Ben getting quicker on the sims

Stig could actually teach Matt how to drive first lesson warm up your tires

Love watching your vlogs Matt but you gotta do something about that friggin laugh!

Ben, you should try out a sim rig but with a VR headset on. I'd love to hear your feedback on that. These sim rigs look really good but are ruined by flat screens

Excellent!

That looks asome.😊

👏

If only I could fit that lot under my stairs😂 but I love my little sim hub.

Id love to have a go on this! we lost our side by side rig over covid and this is what we should have been doing by now!

Hopefully see these guys in a race soon :)

Sim racing this is deffo where Mat should stay, when he crashes it won’t cost him anything

🤣Get in there Ben!

the stig just had a sim racing rig delivered today.

Top video 👌👌

I do a spot of sim racing myself. Would love to do a race with these guys! I wouldn't win but the experince alone would be great fun!!

Ben , you should take Matt for a trial run on a go kart

Ben, you're such a cool guy to watch you have fun and not take things seriously. Can't wait for content on this channel. I already love your main one, with all the cool cars you drive, keep up the great work. 🫡

stig seems way nicer then I ever thought watching top gear growing up haha

Welcome to the world of gaming Ben ♥️ edit: Wait he worked in Project Cars!!! How did I not know that!

Barcelona is one of my favourite tracks, makes me happy to know that I'm faster than Mat and the Stig on here, I recently got a 1:46.9 in the McLaren 😎 I'm sure I wouldn't stand a chance in a real car though 🤣

a sim race would seem the most economical way considering Armstrongs recent crash records. Instead of Armstrong he could call him self Heavyfoot.

I have acc and a good rig set up, to jump in and drive like you did on such a challenging game ….wow 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻

That's ace I have a table and a steering wheel playing gran turismo and that feels real

Well now, this is interesting. @BenCollinsGaming have you decided what hardware you want for your own set up? I'd be interested in seeing your journey choosing what hardware suits your needs

Brilliant 😂

Well at least Mat can crash an expensive car on repeat… with no consequences

At least Matt isn’t going to die here.

Old school racing drivers who have been there seen it all like the collins is pretty cool tbf

I hope I can find you in an ACC lobby! Racing against the stig would be awesome

Welcome to the world of sim racing and esports! If you ever fancy getting into the F1 scene give us a shout. Good luck with the journey!
