My INSANE Experience Testing BMW's BRAND NEW M4 GT4 Racecar! 

Jimmer in the bimmer?

The best part of your job is that when you do driving events you have a backup story no matter the outcome. If you do amazing, you can say, "well of course, I'm a Praga Championship Winner ya know!" And if you do poorly, ""Aw shucks, I'm just a silly youtuber with humble shed beginnings."

If you are within 2 secs to the pros on a new track in a new car, I think you deserve a seat in a race AM team.

I think it's a huge testament to not only the car, but to your own abilities Jimmy, to get in a car that you haven't driven before, on a track that you don't know, and to put in times like you did. Yes the car is a big factor in that, but your own abilities are also a huge part of it.

I think that BMW definitely values the opinions and inputs of a semi-professional driver since many M4 GT4's will be driven by drivers with similar skills and racing experience. Having a race car that's approachable for "everyone" must be a key target of the project.

You know you've made it when I can't tell whether you are making a crazy video about Simracing, or about real life racing

Pretty DAMN good Jimmy!

Jimmy Broadbent BMW GT4 driver confirmed

My Spanish wife winced on hearing your pronunciation but I couldn't be more proud. Good job jimmer, insane to see how far you've come

Thank you, for not downplaying your-self, your are doing a magnificent Job, and for your viewers. Stay out of the barriers.

ACC is soo realistic nowadays

This has to be Jimmers greatest achievement by far. It’s crazy to think where he started from to where he’s at now. Congrats Jimmy

Every time the pro drivers set a goal for jimmy saying "that will be impressive" and then Jimmy does it, they go "hmm.. not bad"...I think they were a lot more impressed than they let on to be 🤣🤣 He's coming after their jobs me thinks

This is why I like GT4 class. They feel a lot more natural, plenty of grip, amazing for close races.

I imagine it was a really good experience for BMW to see how the car is for an AM who is unfamiliar with the car and circuit. That sort of data is really important for a car that is going to be shared among PRO/AM drivers. That being said they must have been very impressed with your performance. Awesome result considering the circumstances.

I think a big part why jimmy was also able to get up to speed that fast might be his experience in Sim-Racing. With his Videos about tons of weird hyper, super and Race Cars he has basically trained himself of being as adaptable as possible.

Wow - I don't know why - but I always feel such happiness when I see you moving through your life in such a way. Amazing work!!!. So, how do we get you to Le Mans?????

Loved your interview w Hammond….helping him “to understand” Sim is a real, possible bridge. Not for all….but for some! Fingers crossed we’ll see you in F1 car, one fine day 😘

From a shed to this, incredible.

I think we've entered the final phase of Jimmy the RU-vidr before he transitions to Jimmy the actual bloody racing driver. Bloody well done mate.

Jimmer, you’re not just a sim racer now. I think you’re allowed to say you’re an amateur driver now. Since you literally actually were the amateur driver in a pro-am competition

An unfamiliar car, an unfamiliar track that's still slightly wet, and you got within a second of the drivers that have been perfecting their times for 2 weeks with better conditions. That's well impressive, Jimmer

I suspect that BMW have seen how JB has developed in the Praga championship and they also see a commercial potential. Huge brand potential given how large a band of followers we are. I really wish you all success and look forward to seeing you compete in a GT4 race soon!

I'm proud of you buddy. From where you've come from, to where you are now. Don't sell yourself short! Cherish this! 73's, cheers!

jimmy was only about 0.5 to 1s off pace? really shows his growth as a driver

You gotta give yourself credit Jimmer, a car you have never driven before on a track you have never been to nor driven around and you go below the time, a pro driver suggested would be great for you to match or even get close to. That is a serious achievement, keep up the great work.

Absolutely amazing! I always have a weird emotional feeling seeing you doing your real world racing. Incredible to see you go from Sim to IRL and absolutely smash it! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous, but also very happy for you and happy that you share this with us...

Been watching your channel for about 3 years now and I'm so proud of how far you have come! Go Jimmer!

Blew their expectations out of the water. Love to see it Jimmer

This is just awesome to see! I remember watching you when you had 7000 subscribers and to see you now is just absolute bliss!

Nice one Jimmer! 🙂👍So nice to see these wonderful things happening in your life, it's joyful to see. ❤

Fuckin' get that shit, Jimmy! You're killing it, dude. After years of being subscribed I'm thrilled to see your progression. Like, you're actively crossing dreams off the list at an incredible rate. Super inspiring, mate. Looking forward to the next one!

Great job Jimmy, we're all rooting for you in your future as a racer. Impressive what you've accomplished so far!

Unbelievable stuff, Jimmy. So, so cool and inspiring to watch your journey!

Truly a testimony to what humility, hard work and talent can bring. Well done, you shed-dwelling sim racer you.

Nice one fella, from a shed to a BMW M4GT4, can't be bad. So pleased for you and what you have and are achieving. 😜

Awesome job Jimmy! I’m always so stoked to see you representing your self so well. You are the real deal.

Jimmy, Jimmy. You really have come a long way, from garden shed to driving a test and development BMW M4 GT4 in Southern Spain. It's been great to watch your journey, and there's more to come! Wicked stuff mate, your success is truly well deserved!

So buzzing for you jimmy! you deserve this and more. Brilliant laps too! Keep going.

I realised something watching this. I had absolute confidence that you would keep the car on the track and that you would get up to speed quickly, you have demonstrated time and time again that you have the skills. I'm looking forward to seeing what this year holds for you racing wise, you might be a AM driver but you aint no slouch behind the wheel. Loved the video too.

Jimmer I am so happy to see your dreams come to fruition, a couple years ago you had a stream for Mental Health awareness and it combined with your personal testimony helped me to have the courage to seek the help I needed, I am happy to say that I am a much better person today because of it and I absolutely smile when I see how well you are doing, take care my friend and thanks again.

That’s amazing. Awesome to see someone who started from humble beginnings making strides towards achieving his dreams

Great vid Jimmer you were fantastic out there. To be only a couple of seconds off BMW’s pro drivers with a can and track you’ve never driven before is mega. Can’t wait to see what your 2023 plans are for IRL racing this season Jimmy 💪🏻👏🏻

Insane opportunity! Congratulations dude!!

that is a beautiful piece of kit, good work Jimbo, keep documenting the journey/story.

You deserve a season drive mate, you’ve put the hard work and been loyal sim racing content from day 1 when only a small few we’re paying attention! 🙏👍💪

Jimmy you magnificent bastard, you're the reason I'm getting a wheel after my summer job and start taking racing games seriously, you've done so much progress in what to me seems like so little time, keep going fast my guy.

Great video Jimmer, big ups to BMW for letting you take us along for the ride

Was allready impressed when u raced in the bmw sim 2 years ago. And now driving a bmw m4 gt4 at a race track?!?! Impressive! Keep it up Jimmy!

Congrats, and good driving! That walk away at the end reminded me of the Muppets, so it was hilarious. lol

Unbelievable road its been jimmer . Just wow . 🎉 cheers

That's awesome, man! Congrats!

Wicked video, hope more opportunites come from this, nice driving

Proud of ya Jimmer! What a great experience to be apart of! best wishes in 2023

As well as appreciating your success i would just like to mention that it's a credit to modern sim racing games that the dashcam footage is almost indistinguishable from a video game, its honestly mad how good graphics have gotten. If my 12 year old self could see this i would definitely be tucking it up into my waistband.

Good on ya Jimmer, you took to that car like a duck to water. Can't wait to see what opportunities lay in wait for you in the future. You're an inspriration to all of us mate.

By no means one of the longest subscribers, but the progress you've made in your driving career in the last 2-3 years is insane to watch. Congrats Jimmy, fully deserved.

Wow! Fantastic job Jimmy!

Congrats Jimmy, you looked awesome out there.

So good to see you loving being out there racing!!!

Congratulations! Great work!!🏁

Awesome Jimmy! What a great experience, thanks for sharing it with us!

Brilliant job Jimmer! You exceeded their expectations and that alone may open a world of new opportunities for you.

Great Job Jimmy, you sure have came a long way mate. May you Live your dream 🍻

Goddamn I love those videos! Full on glued to the screen for the whole thing! Thanks for sharing :D

This was brilliant to watch Jimmy, hopefully even more fun for you to actually do! Have a good one.

What a living legend to both Jimmy and the camera team. Amazing footage, amazing driving, amazing work.

Fantastic!! You can be proud of your accomplishments without any doubt.

So happy for you, Jimmy. I'm so glad you were given such an awesome opportunity and thank you for sharing it with us! :)

Fast Jimmer! Nice work!!

living the dream. Love these real life racing videos. 🔥

Awesome video. Really happy for you man!

Great video! Brilliant to see the crossover

Top stuff Jimmy, very impressive lap times, keep pushing

Just shows you have a natural ability to throw a car around a track even when the car is new and the track is new to you. Well done mate, you did great.

Hope you‘ll get more oppurtunities like this to show your potential and development as a driver 👍🏻 Well done mate

What a fun video. It would of been interesting to see how driving in a sim (if the track had been available) would of brought you into the test more prepared, and how the "head start" may of translated into gains.

Living the dream there Jimmer! Did a great job picking up that unknown circuit and car combo so quickly, I think the pros were quietly impressed/worried too!!

Super happy for you Jimmy. Keep pushing.

Much love Jimmer! Keep it up! No Matter Wat!

What a beautiful view . cool track.

That was fun to watch. You were really pushing the car and it shows. And that video ending lol!

Things are just getting better and better!way to go JB👍

amazing!!! and credit to BMW in giving jimmy time to experience it

I seem to recall quite a while ago Jimmy choosing to drive a BMW GT3 in a sim race at a time when no one really wanted to drive it as it wasnt considered competitive. But he remained loyal to his Bimmer and if Im not mistaken BMW took notice. I'd really like to know if Jimmy is now reaping the rewards of that loyalty. As mentioned elsewhere, the GT4 is going to attract a lot of AM drivers and so having one jump in during testing makes sense, but they could have chosen anyone and they chose our Jimmer.

Man its been cool to see your progression in racing. Whether you become a driver or not, no one can say you didn't lead a bad ass life!

Jimmy it is just so cool how you've managed to take all that sim racing and bring real life content to the channel that is just as entertaining. Keep it up man.

Jimmy, you are living the dream! So excited for you!

Congrats Jimmy!

Love your Content Jimmer! So happy for you!

Solid job JB!🫡

Excellent work Jimmer, a few more days and you could take those boys no problem mate.

Jimbo Slice you're a cool dude. Really enjoyed this video. Great job getting under 1:50 :)

good job mate, good job !!

Thanks for bringing us along jimmer, this is so cool. Extra terrifying that you couldn't do any prep.

Congratulations jimmer! You’re making us proud

I am so proud of you. Congratulations Jimmy 👍❤️

That was bloody awesome to watch

Great vid! The bimmer also sounds great too

Epic stuff Jimmer. so proud of you!
