@samprince5691 2 года назад

Imo the move with the contact would have been perfectly fine into any hard braking zone but into druids I definitely think it was optimistic with the overlap, thats just my two cents anyway. Awesome video and insight into racing Jimmy! Looking mighty quick now too

@mjqt9921 2 года назад

Yeah, maybe. I think the way to think about it is how we would see the move if the other car had gone off circuit because of it. And... well, I dunno.

@ZVilleneuve 2 года назад

Rule of thumb to help clear up the fringe situations: Make sure the other guy see's you otherwise expect he doesnt. Finishing the race is always better than being technically correct with a crumpled racecar. If youre struggling to get a move done, leave a bit of room and drive into it through the apex and out to help get a run. With the right timing youre on their bumper at the exit and pull out just after. Be careful with the pinching of your exits. Showing a nose on the inside looking for a pass on the exit phase just hurts your run down the next straight. Use all the track and work on that timing, its tricky. Nice vid and nice drive

Amazing to see you drive with my friend Ellis! Great 1st funcup! Try to get Ellis to take you with him into Finland to test some winter driving!

@Francoberry 2 года назад

The contact around 11mins in was probably 60/40 you to blame. I think its incredibly difficult to judge, but it looks like even down the inside with the space you had, the rear end got loose and you were correcting left to keep it on track which sent you into the side of the other car (which was closing up, but didn't completely cut you off). Great racing though. I wouldn't have the nerve to do this! And great of you to show incidents and invite views to learn from :)

My first comment on this channel was hate. I was playing f1 2019 on controller and was looking videos about it when I found Jimmy's videos. Never saw sim racing like this before. A kid in a shed with gloves and boots steering a wheel. I thought what kind of nerd wears racing clothes and sits at home playing on a fake wheel. 2 years later I got my own rim playing mainly acc and trying to become a sim racer like Jim. Thats life ;) amazing drive Jim crazy how far you have come

@RadeticDaniel 2 года назад

i think most people who abuse that quote don't see the differense between going for a gap where you can fit your car and torpedoing into a vanishing gap of a racing line you can't undercut... an overtake requires cutting a line before te other driver can take position into it, not bumping people out f the way anyway, i'm a huge Jimmy fan, watched Ayrton's races on TV as a kid and grew up learning about him all around and just wanted to drop a hint that sometimes people take his words to an extreme or out of context and use it to support overly aggressive driving styles when it really doesn't fit
