My First Proper Taste Of The iRacing Oval Experience 

iRacing oval licence classes D is for ‘do it for dale’ C is for ‘competition caution’ B is for ‘THE BIG ONE’ A is for ‘ARCA brakes’

*Yeets into the outside wall at deadly speed* "I did it for Dale" ooooooof

6:34 Yellow car: “ I need to go, my planet needs me”

I never knew I needed an “ARCA brakes” reference from jimmy, but I know now

“My first proper iRacing oval experience”, sad the Indy 500 winner

I love the way Courtney raced you in the 12. He raced clean, didn't spin you on purpose, but didn't cut you any slack and used the bumper on couple of occasions. That's the way you race at the short tracks. Agressive, yet respectful

12:43 "I was baptized in Hellman's" literally had a "MOM GET THE CAMERA, I MADE IT INTO A YT VIDEO" moment lmao

0:49 So are we just going to ignore the twerking mechanics?

2:50 Did Jimmy just make an ARCA brakes joke?! I’ve never been more proud! I have met lifelong NASCAR fans who don’t get the ARCA brakes meme...

5:47 Absolute BARZ from the engineer there 🔥🔥🔥

Me: Jimmy what is your favourite part of the human anatomy? Jimmy: 7:08

A reference to Destruction Derby Raw was the last thing i expected and it's so super appreciated

When you race in a nascar heat 5 lobby:

Jimmer, if you're getting into ovals more, I highly recommend breaking out AMS again and give the CART Extreme mod a spin at Fontana or any other super speedway - that's another level of intensity and tremendous fun.

9:36 "Late 2000's" ...so we're racing in the future now

I wish we still had speedway tracks like that in England. They used to be all over the place but they aren't anymore. Big sad :(

When you get to C class you have to feature the tour mods. They're the best oval racing series on iracing.

Soundtrack at the start: Destruction Derby Raw (PS1 Game) Bloody loved that game as a kid

No one going to point out the fact that jimmer in his recent stream said expressVPN

With all the Hellmann's comments in chat, I guess... This stream was pretty well seasoned.

Late model short track racing on asphalt is easily my favorite racing

Yeah man. That’s what makes Oval racing tough. Tire Management!!

8:53 I liked the part where he said *S🅱️INNALA*

The Destruction Derby Raw intro brought back some memories...

I’ve gotta say that I really like the intro these days. I think it really captures the essence of the channel.

''I use Hellmans as lube'' guy is a legend

Absolutely love all the "lol good luck" energy when you caught up to the back of the field.

Health issues with modern racing cars: BestMOTORing Touge Maou: "I think this car fractured my ribs" Jimmo's oval racing class: "Oh no, my right foot is getting numb"

Go round the nurburgring in some American airport steps

Alright you got me, I spent a good 30 seconds at 0:50 wondering why the pit crew was doing squats.

Reid the type of guy to storm the Capitol lmao

*Top 3 most chaotic corners in oval racing:* #1: T1 #2: T2 #3:

Still really warms the heart to see the guy who thought that livery was a good idea run out of fuel

Loved that last bit of racing. Gg Courtney!

oh man... that intro soundtrack. Nostalgia bomb from Destruction Derby: Raw

That intro gave me childhood flashbacks playing the heck out of DD Raw

6:34 that car was yeeeeted into another dimension

Hey Jimmer, you're unlikely to see this, but after much agonizing over it, I finally ended up buying Iracing so I can satisfy my oval racing desires. First race on my rookies, I brought home a win from P6 at the Southern speedway, just wanted to say, cheers for being an inspiration & just having a red hot go at any challenge.

Love watching the oval rookies streams! Also you asked on steam at one point: "Super Modifieds" are the really fast cars, not to be confused with "Nascar Modifies" or "Dirt Modifieds" which are different series. With Super Modifieds they basically threw out the rule book back in the 70's and tried to go as fast as possible around an oval.

"Can anyone stop the mechanical mayhem"? No I don't think they can...

The intro music bring back so many memory's

Love the destruction derby raw intro!! Can anyone stop the mechanical mayhem!

0:50 wtf lmaoo

Jimmer, since you've started oval racing, do you have a better appreciation for it??

Jimmy, when you get out of D ranking you should try out the Tour Modifieds.

It makes me so happy to see the idea of "ARCA Brakes" is so true that it's getting referenced here. You should consider checking out the Daytona ARCA race next month for the lulz.

Hey Jimmy, new watcher here! What a great guy you are! Thanks for your delightful and entertaining content!

I'm only just noticing the synth renditions of 80's pop songs. Great addition!

Running in the night, was that a subtle FM-84 reference, if so.... Good lad!

Editing on POINT

Jimmer mad Harvick not so happy Harvick 😂😂

Me: *randomly sings the "get low" song * Jimmy 10 seconds later: *plays it *

Jimmy: I have one word for you... RU-vid: STATEFARM

More iRacing please, thank you.

Thanks for another awesome video. Love you jimmer.

My favourite game ever of my childhood: Destruction Derby Raw! one of the best soundtracks ever!

13:53 me running to the bathroom

The ARCA experience

15:30 LOL ran outta gas

I been hearing about arca brakes. And I've been racing arca series for like 3 months. And man is it true

oval with the road rim is strait POG

Hey Jimmer I know you probably won't see this but I wanted to give you a quick tip. I noticed that you're braking like a road racer. I'm not as good in ARCA but in the late model and super late model for sure, the braking technique is a little different than what you're used to from road racing. Instead of slamming on the brakes hard, hitting a high brake pressure and bleeding off, these cars respond a lot better to more gentle brake pressure applied more gradually. Sometimes it's better to brake earlier but less aggressively (oval racers refer to this as "backing up your entry"). As a general rule in the LM and SLM, other than perhaps Martinsville, if you find yourself ever using more than 50% brake pressure you're being too aggressive. Also key to note here is that the brake pressure itself isn't the only thing that matters, the ramp up to that pressure is also important. In my experience, proper road racing cars, especially those with significant downforce, can tolerate a more sudden brake application than most oval cars. I think that last part might not be clear, so let me give an example. Let's say you're in an LMP2, coming up to La Source at Spa. You slam on the brakes, and it takes 0.2 seconds for your foot to go from 0% to 100% pedal pressure. In the LM and SLM on oval tracks, not only do you top out at maybe 30% pedal pressure, but you take 0.5 seconds to go from 0% to that 30% pedal pressure. Don't take too much stock in these numbers, they're not a hard and fast rule, they're just numbers I pulled out of my ass to demonstrate a point. But the gist should be clear; not only do you brake less, but you also get on and off the brake pedal more slowly and more smoothly than what works in a proper road racing car. Anyway, best of luck and I hope to race with you some day!

Need to see Jimmer try some of the Nascar Road Courses, believe there's 7 or 8 on the schedule this year. Watkins Glen, Sonoma, Road America, Daytona Road Course, Charlotte Roval, Indianapolis Road Course, COTA...

Dont think ive ever seen Jimmer so anxious!

sir there's no podium in stock car racing smh

Goddamn intro hit me right in the nostalgias

Rule #1...Round steering wheels ONLY! 😉

Coincidentally the only part of the stream I could catch was when he was tagged in the first race...

The Mike check killed me man 😭😂

This is my goal to race nascar on IRacing. On pc. , on console right now building up my gear them I'll move to PC asap . Driving F1 amd GT caes learning this skill is fun too but very different.

Watching this back Jimmy, I can't believe you had access to a Coy Haseleu set, only to switch to something else. Mistake #1 😂

YOOOO THATS ME SAYING WHATS UP! HUGE FAN:) James Truett

Can anyone stop the mechanical mayhem!!!!!! Oh my the memories. Destruction Derby: RAW Jimmy is the absolute best!!!!!!

anyone else remember jimmy's guest spotter nascar trucks series?

The most dangerous situation for oval teack is when lapping somone

This was fun! Great vid jimmer

ABSOLUTE CHAD MOVE AT 8:34

Wonderful, Jomsto.

I wish Jimmy would post these full streams.

I enjoyed those races. You are a great driver. Thank you for all the funs!!

did jimmer reference take me back to london by ed and stormzy? "i chatted shit and got banged"

I noticed the spotter on iracing has dialogue very similar and almost the same as NR2003

Very happy the dude in the fuckin blue line car ran out of gas in the last race lmfaoo

Most of winning on ovals is being fast enough to not go backwards, but save the tires enough to be quicker then the guys in front of you at the end of the race.

0:50 That pit crew behind Jimmy are getting down Birb style. lol

Southern National is such an unraced track, I finally did the first race on it several weeks ago, and I've been doing oval iRacing for 2 years.

oh my god the childhood memories of Destruction Derby Raw on the PS1 from the intro AHHHHHH I'm only 20 I feel extremely old

You should look into crew chief and my laps overlays, really will help a race like you out

Jimmy turning American day by day

I see all them 80s song references. Lionel Richie, Yes, etc.

Alright screw it, I'm subing, good content and lots of fun.

9:01 Jimmer: I did it for Dale Me: Hell yeah, brother! Let er rip 🤘🏻 😂

Lol. There’s no podium in NASCAR. Like the legend said, “If you ain’t first, yer last.”

2:00 my experience with the spotter is that he only says 'car right or left' after they have already crashed into me

You should try dirt oval races in VR next. That is honestly the best experience you can have in iracing.

0:37 every girl talking to me ever

birthday upload yeeee

S 🅱️ I N N A L A

Nice Ying Yang Twins plug in there

0:51 what in the goddamn 😂
