How Do I Compare To Some Of The World's Fastest Sim Racers? 

Like 0.500 slower, that's be my guess.

Exactly, I bet many of those other racers can't even comment half as entertaining as Jimmer.

Many who watch live streams seem to not realize how difficult it is to entertain, watch chat and play well all at the same time just going on the amount of criticism you see in chats from people who have mastered something without all those distractions by doing the same thing for hours, days and months (years?).

Dont think it would slow them down at all, they dont think about driving at all, that's natural to them, they are that good, they also train alot with doing things while racing. I have seen pros and novice training where they have to move an object from one side of the wheel to the other side everytime the do a turn, while being ask questions over the radio (headphones).

@@Descenter1976 go watch videos by viperconcept. One in specific is called brain analyzer, really good video. You do think about what you do, there are many conscious choices you make while racing, such as where to brake, how much to accelerate, skid control... It's true that muscle memory plays a huge role, but you still lose concentration while talking. I dare you to (being honest) do what you're best at while commentating. You'll notice a big difference in your performance.

Nah, he needs to complain about that corner ignoring blue flags before he signs.

Villeneuve style. (when making his F1 debut for McLaren at the 1977 British GP, he spun his car multiple times in practice trying to find the limit)

Vettel span once this year.

Vettel at his best is better than Hamilton at his best. It’s just a shame Vettel isn’t at his best very often.

As a Ferrari fan, I know he's probably the second best on the grid right now. The problem is that he's not coping well with pressure and Hamilton has just been perfect (also, Ferrari strategy is shocking). Now I'm going back to the dark corner I've been hiding in since Monza to cry.

I tried Assetto Corsa in VR and i had no depth perception, i always braked too soon...

some games are better then others. Mind you Assetto Corsa although supporting VR is from 2014 and therefore one of the earliest earlybirds in supporting VR, but try it with Project Cars 2 and you'll get entirely diffent results. Also depends on what headset you use. the Rift or Vive (Pro) should give you good depth perception in PC2. :)

think vr can be a disavantage as well as advantage , main disadvantage is the lack of reference point of a fixed forward facing camera gives you the ability to track the cars rotation, as its this reference point of your strictly fixed direct forward vision against the worlds rotation around you that is vital in many ways for sim racing to judge from perspective and eyesight alone where your ears would be doing the main job from eardrums gryoscopic balance more than sound i believe..

@@ohsoleohmio absolutely right, but the earlier you learn to drive with VR and learn to read its cues that's it provides you, the better for you in the long run if you wanna stay involved with Sim racing or you wanna use it as a practice tool for IRL racing.

Peyo Peev aye like i said theres advantage and disadvantage , id say the disadvantage i explained of vr will always make you slower in simracing and sure its great training for irl and might make you faster as a training tool for irl etc each to their own i suppose

Lol same here. It was just incredible. Stuff of true legends.

Wasn't Schumachers Benetton manual?

@@harryeyre1322 Benetton brought the semi automatic from 1993 onwards. Also, Schumacher first got his WDC in '94 and the Benetton won the WCC in '95 :)

@rohitb6 when did all f1 cars become semi auto then?

@@harryeyre1322 Front runners had it on since '92 and most midfielders since '93... Forti had the last manual car in 1995

In fact there were constructors in the 50s/60s who already did semi-automatic and automatic gearboxes, but those concepts failed AFAIK due to higher weight, reliability etc., so (semi)-automatic gearboxes like today (minus the seamless shift mechanism which came later) were introduced by Ferrari first with their car for 1989, the 640 aka F1-89. Ferrari also had 7 gears then. Next was Williams with the FW14 in 1991, then McLaren with the MP4/7A in 1992. Some of those 92 & 93 cars also had programmable and pre-selection auto functions. I'm not sure if *most* midfielders had semi-auto in 1993, since some did an intermediate step which was a sequential gearbox.

He's actually Michael Andretti

+Adrián Belmonte at least Michael got 1 podium

@@AdrianBelmonte96 Has Michael won Le Mans?

@@DrJReefer No, but he's CART Indycar 1991 champion.

Omg I know I want his damn set up

I showed my wife some nice sim rigs to place in our office space...... Ended up buying a fucking lawn chair for a racing seat PLAYSEAT - Challenge because its FOLDABLE

@@mikhailman Time for a divorce, mate :P

@@IrLosin Lol. Tbh it didn't turn out that bad. With a VR headset you're not really seeing the seat you're in, and its surprisingly stable, sturdy and comfy for what it's worth. So at the end of the day i widthdraw my earlier statement and recommend this product. AAAND it's foldable!! :))))

I just bought a second hand t80 with a broken toggle on the bottom. But yeah. This channel made me do it.

it's an ok sign. to say it is definitely a white power sign without any self doubt over the flimsy nature of your 'evidence' only shows how manipulated you have been by identity politics social engineering.

🤡

That's a bummer. Simulating all those gimmicks is a must if you want to call it a simulation of those gen's cars.

I found that really strange but now that you said that im feeling really stupid

Probably wouldn't be much fun to watch though , as I'm sure there would have to be a lot less chat and a lot more serious concentration.

@@paulelephant9521 Just Jimmy muttering to himself like some angry homeless guy.

Epic FOrTnItE victory Royale

I think it still had a clutch foot pedal, but the need of a clutch has nothing to do with the existence of a fly-by-wire-throttle anyway.

ritwht still not too bad

BR HUE

Natural ability/Practice i'd say. I had a brief session with telemetry recently and it helped me to improve almost instantly. The real difference is approach. This is my hobby, so it's important to keep it fun. I have no idea where my 'talent ceiling' is, but I'll likely never find out because I frankly can't be arsed with all the practice.

From a person who went kind of pro in something: It's all about mindset (or approach as Jimmy puts it), they apply themselves so meticulously and put so much energy into what they do that most of the time it's no longer fun, you are eaten by frustration because people at the top are so close between each other in terms of raw skill that most of the time it comes down to luck or the condition you have or whatever. Just think about how many simracers with years of experience, expensive rigs and that will put a lot of time into the competition will end up losing because it won't be enough, also losing by a few cents of a second. Imagine the frustration. That's why it's just cool to be an amateur, you do it because you love it and WANT to do it, not because you have to.

A good discussion. I thought I would get a few replies to my question. For me I am a very mediocre sim racer and the moment I try and take it too seriously I find excuses not to race. I am consistent but slow.

That number isn't mph or km/h it's the rpm of the engine. Compare the number to the digital tachometer.

@@andrewneilson3580 You couldn't be more wrong. You could try, but you wouldnt succeed.

@@Malc180s I think you know damn well that I have to at least try, please explain how it is not then. I've never played rf2 but the number seems to correlate with the digital tachometer. Look at any freeze frame and it should match up. But please do educate me because I do not know if that is correct, it was only a guess.

you must feel so embarrassed for making that mistake. and then to double down once you were made aware just shows what a lot quality little twerp you are.

At least Jimmer can say he beat a Team Redline driver!

*finger wag*

That was my outlap... :D

This car had paddle shift.

3 years after you commented that, funnily enough the MP4/8 was also 3 years more advanced than the MP4/4 which I consider to be the last Retro F1 car, does it still give the odd feeling?

Two months later and i realized thats the rpms.......

No, they were banned at Hockenheim in 1993 but the teams all claimed that they can't just remove that stuff from the current cars so it was postponed until the beginning of the 1994 season. The accidents of 1994 fundamentally had nothing to do with that. The deadly crashes were due to other components failing and the other accidents were young drivers (Lamy etc.) making driver errors.

Wtf why do you have my profile pic

DieterS. Noooooooooo. First time I’ve ever seen it other than mine. It is the best pic ever though. I stay fapping to that frowning frog.

The earth is flat!!!!!

@@homelander7506 Yeah. Ok. Keep doing you

Haven't tried it in VR, but I find it easier to learn lines in VR because of the accuracy that 3D affords.

Snap, looking around to look into the corners as you do in reality = a far more immersive experience at least for me in VR. Often find Pancake (monitor) view now to be very front only restrictive. Like driving through a tank drivers slot view

Sim racers break things

If you’re kind maybe give a second or two over the pros in real life due to all the extra practice and having no worries over binning the car or injuring yourself. But that much time difference is definitely too much.

the track in the 1993 was different.

Juliano Araujo - Other than 130R being tighter and the final chicane being maybe a tad slower has anything else changed?

@@mr8I7 i was talking about silverstone.

silverstone had a different layout back then
