The Most Common Mistake In Sim Racing 

Isn't the Porsche hitting the Turquoise Porsche braking and trying to avoid the crash instead of still pinning their throttle down and going for it though?

Jimmy at 8:20 I think you misread the situation. It seems to me the guy we're on board with realized the turquoise car is gonna go all the way to the left and was trying to pass him on the right. Yet the turquoise car doesn't go all the way and kinda stays on the left of the mid lane, so to speak.

yeah the Porsche looks like it's letting off to swerve around the back of the Turquoise Porsche.

7:30 I feel like the car behind anticipated the other car was going to continue driving to the left racing line and tried to take the inside.

7:20 No, Jimmy, that wasn't an intentional ram. That was an attempt to evade, and the reaction time was about as fast as could be expected after the out-lap car cut across the track.

8:28 He took off 30MPH, and swerved to avoid his expected trajectory - I don't see that as, "Just drive into the back of him", I see it as, "Don't put yourself in the trajectory he's following". If there's going to be an accident, aim behind/to the rear/inside of where they're going so you can hopefully avoid. He's trying to do that. The Turquoise car was enough of a pillock that this still resulted in a crash, but he was clearly trying to avoid by 1) braking, and 2) steering to where he was, not where he is going to be. Sorry, @Jimmy Broadbent, but you got that one wrong.

i don't condone the retaliation. but that punt @ 6:46 was beautiful

8:24 I think this is more trying to avoid the blue dude while not knowing where he's going, Realizing late what was happening, At the rate that that blue guy was moving, half expecting to be clear by the time they'd meet And an attempt to still salvage the lap by trying to keep a capable line

7:23 I am pretty sure this is not intentional, as the POV car started to brake as the turquoise car started to get in his line. I think, he just panicked and tried to go around him from the right as he expected him to go fully to the left, but the turquoise didn't go fully to the left hence - crash.

7:25 I'm not really sure why Jimmy thought the guy was trying to crash into the Turquoise Porsche, it's pretty obvious he was swerving to try and avoid him and it didn't quite go to plan.

That pass with lights off was probably one of the most funniest and amazing passes I've seen. Laughed my ass off. 😂😂

7:21 He was trying to avoid that guy coming out of the pits. He would most likely have to go on the grass on the left and that's why he swerved right. It's all on the turquoise car

Going to have to disagree on the Road America Porkers. The car at speed tries to brake (Speedo shows drop before contact), and move across the back of the turquoise Porsche coming out of the pits to try and avoid contact. Feel like it's 100% on turquoise car.

6:39 Uh, didn`t know about the canadian space program. Neat.

i love how almost every comment is about the road america porsche clip. for the record, i agree with yall

"technically you can't break too early" - tell that to Alonso

I've lost count of the number of times I've been rear-ended slowing down for someone else's wreck. So infuriating.

Jimmer with the 4D chess move "I'm gunna say he hit him on purpose" *Comments go wild and engagement turns into a straight stonks rocket*

16:10 😂 saying he had a chance to avoid this is comical, the cars were still straight and out of the racing line until the last second

15:33 “slow car ahead go right” me as far right of the track as possible 😂

You can see on the speedometer that the car that crashed into the turquoise Porsche was braking right before the crash, so I think they swerved right because the Porsche went to the left, and wanted to avoid them.

6:46 POV: Jimmy getting torn apart by the comment section because of the 8:24 incident

As a South African, I humbly apologise for the man who took you out in the first race. We have a lot of passion

The lights incident is the funniest thing I've ever seen in this series. Deffo got a good laugh out of that, was almost cartoon esque

15:30 gotta blame crew chief for that one 🤣

5:18 I feel like the Canada car, while not in the best position to hold that corner didn't really do anything wrong. I feel like the other car turned in quite a bit early for t11 at Laguna Seca. Maybe he was trying to defend the inside line, and misjudged, I'd lean more towards racing incident, maybe even putting blame on the other car. Also for the OP that's actually turn 2, as I recently found out. T1 is immediately after the start line, hardly a corner at all

The green Porsche looks to be part of the "I can't be overtaken" group, a not so rare to spot group on sim-racing that prefers to crash than being overtaken. His reaction after the first crash makes it even better...

Good call on the retaliatory driving, there is zero tolerance for that in sim or in RL racing.

I don't think the guy was trying to crash into the turquoise Porsche. I think he was probably trying to avoid him because the turquoise Porsche cut across the track. Am I the only one that thinks that?

8:32 was not intentional since that guy tried to move out of the way but the slower car changed its trajectory making the collision happen

15:36 for this one i wouldn't expect the car in front to close the door on me if there is such a speed difference so i'd also be wrecked by this.

I think the Porsche at 8:25 expected the BMW to continue floating out to the side and swerved to avoid it, but by that point a single wrinkle had formed on the other driver's brain, just too late

Guy who turned his lights off is a Chad and should be allowed

13:00 blue mx5 went full lance stroll

That Porsche Cup incident on Road America I don't think the black car intentionally rammed the green car. The black car probably expected the green car to continue going to the left (also he's in the middle of the track which can be confusing), and the black car didn't have anywhere to avoid it.

8:36 I have to disagree. He didn't know what the turquoise (the color of TURBO) car was going to do. So he swerved in the direction he thought would be clear. Unfortunately, the guy didn't move all the way left, so he was still in front of our friend, and there was contact. That is 100% on the TURBO colored car.

8:33 I think he didn't try to punt the mint car on purpose, he just tried to go on the inside of the corner where there wasn't any other car but it wasn't enough space.

7:40 in fact you did drop few IQ points there Jimmy Black Porsche was BRAKING and swerved to avoid the dummy in Turquoise Porsche.

I don't know but at 15:36 the guy that was crashed into was going slow but went straight onto the racing line. Like I get the idea of why the guy that ran into him is not at fault but at the same time you can't just crossover onto the racing line when you're going abyssmally slower than racing speed. So it's at least 75 on the Moza Porsche

Jimmy : "You can break wherever you want..." Alonso in Australia : " Are you sure about that?" :D

hey jimmy, idk if you will read this, ive got to say, love your videos, saw a few of your shorts (i think) recently found your videos again and it got me back into sim racing also P.S also i dissagree with your verdict from 7:28 , i believe that the POV car was trying to go into the free space anticipating the teal car to move across, however should have slowed down

Yeah, definitely dead wrong on that turquoise Porsche incident, Jimmer. It clearly looks like the camera car is just reacting to, “Holy shit, this helmet is just going to keep drifting up into my lane, I need to take evasive action!” and just happened to clip the turquoise while trying to swerve away. 1000000% on the turquoise.

Official petition to rename SimRacingStweards to "Drivey Crashy Was It My Faulty"

People not wanting to race in a racing game is extremely annoying. The amount of times people have messed up their qualifying and flash me all race because they can’t overtake is frustrating asf

You know it’s a bad day when you retire in a sim racing stewards videos

Jimmy, may I say, I've been through some tough times recently and your funny and entertaining commentary over your purely brilliant driving never fails to cheer me up! Thank you!

the headlights off move was FANTASTIC. absolute king

7:20 youve got that wrong, Jimmy. The turquoise is pulling over to the left, the camera car expects him to *keep* going left so tries to pull over to the right. Instead of pulling all the way over to the left, the turquoise car sits in the middle, then big bonk. Turquoise is at fault

11:40 Pro Takumi Moment

I’m glad you mentioned braking. People in lower classes (iracing license) don’t get that it is the responsibility of the car behind to NOT run into the back of the car in front of them. I got yelled at, at Laguna Seca, in the Ferrari series. 🤷‍♂️

Love the amount of insight Jimmy delivers with these videos!!

15:44 mans literally said “oh no he’s gone off. Pepsi”

4:35 Blue car wanted to survive. It was the blue car's corner though. Had the blue car gone for it he would've been yeeted off and black would've been at fault. 9:08 Agreed, but I think OP assumed the turquoise car wouldn't come all the way across. The reason he didn't brake was that he was aiming to go around him and then into the corner. When he realized it was too late.

15:42 has to be the best transition to a video sponsor I have seen

The 15 car did a good air Canada impression. Both the being in the air and then abruptly on the ground were spot on.

11:23 This man is the Tizio Nuvolari of simracing 😂

Can we just talk about the little kid scream at 15:34. LFMAO

I thoroughly enjoy this series, well done, Jimmers!

Love this seires, its the whole reason I subbed. keep em coming JIMMY!

The editing on this is on point. The dodgeball sound on the intentional wreck was amazing.

6:40 To quote Tony Stewart "That's awesome. I mean he didn't take him out, he junked him."

8:28 He’s obviously veering right to try and avoid him and accidentally runs into the back of him

Quickly becoming my favorite segment on your channel.

I was ever so surprised when I rang Jimmys hotline that it not only went through (I didn't know emojis worked in telephone numbers) but he was waiting on the other end to talk through my concerns about racing other people in racing games. Now the tears rolling down my cheeks will be that of joy rather than fear as the whole field overtakes me while I swerve erratically and make comments about their mother over public chat

Love these jimmy ❤ please keep these going

missed this series, nice to see a new episode 🙂

15:30 That scream had me crying 😂

The editing of these videos are so good!

Love this, and your sense of humour!

Turquiose Porsche really put on his best Kevin Lepage impression.

I think the turquoise incident he was trying to avoid the collision but didn’t know how far he was going to move and under anticipated this clipping the quarter with an improper reaction

LMFAOO THE GUY FLYING IN THE AIR PLEASE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS JIMMY

Some epic punts in this one, good stuff

12:00 Bro with the Uno reverse card 1000 IQ strat... but illegal.

I think the porsche incident is very similar to what Jimmy had back when he drove into the back of someone in Daytona T1 in the BMW lmdh.

Some truly bovine stuff in there this time - marvellous!

I'm on that reddit and it's actually baffling how there are so many incidents that can easily be avoided by one of the two drivers just having even a tiny notion of self preservation. People are far to scared to lose a tenth or two never mind a second or two that they ended up taking themselves and potentially another couple of cars completely out of the race.

This is always my favourite series from Jimmer

11:35 there was a IRL driver that did the same thing at Le Man a few years back

I love everyone of these you do :)

I'm with everyone else with that Porsche, I would have done the same - my brain said "he's coming right into my line" the first time I saw it so I'd have tried to go inside too. Then the other guy used his mirrors & turned away from the racing line... that is a definite crash caused by someone not being predictable. Pulling out of the pits like IRL that would be a trip to the stewards in practically any series, no? let alone if you caused an accident. Turning your lights off in a game that has a radar is a bit of a silly move :p claiming someone braked too early when you're not boxed in is also dumb, just pull out a bit if you're not sure about them. ( Someone braking early and hard when you're boxed in is a nightmare and if you're going to do it at least give some indication by being gentle for a few metres, or they're likely to give you a kiss at least ). In the past I'd have recommended hours on AC TF servers to give you a good sense for collision avoidance, but I dunno how popular they are these days.

I swear ive been trying to timw this right to get onto sim racing stewards here. Ive got a collection of clips and Im waiting. I was literally typing out the post when I got the notification 😂

Another great ep of Racey Crashy Is It My Faulty with Jimmy. GG

9:15 the pov driver thought the blue boy was going more left so he cut right. Unfortunately, blue boy was slow af and the cut failed. I get it.

11:24 ABSOLUTE W OF A HUMAN Also the song is queen of times ever and ever

Hell yeah... Love me some Sim Racing Stewards content!! No we just need a new Togue video. 👍👍 Edit: Jimmer I normally agree with you, but you're way off on the turquoise Porsche call! The other driver clearly lets off the gas while turning towards the inside to try and avoid a collision, which is exact opposite of what you're saying he did. Just watch his speedometer during the clip and you can clearly see when the turquoise Porsche swerves out in front of the guy he immediately lets off the gas to slow down while turning towards the inside, bc and this is purely speculation on my part, he's guessing turquoise dude is going to continue driving towards the outside given his current trajectory, he's not stomping on or maintaining his speed to rear end the guy. If he did his speed would've remained at 160 instead of dropping off. Js

I would watch a live stream of this stuff, I love it so much haha

I really shouldn't be finding the intro to this video that funny! 😂😂😂

Honestly felt as though this episode was great to learn from. Thanks jimmer :)

14:20 had me rolling, definitley a moan i needed to hear😂

The Initial D Blind Attack is beautiful. FOREVER! TOGETHER!

Turning off your headlights to confuse your opponents is such a high IQ move. 😂

i think the porche cup car thought the blue car was going to come all the way across

The part about the lights was hilarious!

cut and dry this stuff, love these

FANTASTIC INTRO JIMMY 😂😂😂😂😂

Simjimmer 40000. In the grim darkness of the far internet, there is only simracing.

Love how the comments unanimously agree that the Road America turquoise porsche wreck was NOT close to intentional, but Jimmy spent so much time on it. Shows that opinions happen :) being a referee or steward is difficult if even Jimmy gets it wrong!

6:39 that was one solid kick

Jimmy im really impressed how much you missread the situatiom at 8:00 in no way is he trying to hit him, clearly trying to take evassive action and try to go around him
