Good to see Jimmy to do some IMSA again. Great to see positive attitude throughout even under unfortunate times. Makes it so much more enjoyable. Hope to see more like this. 😊

Just did the ChampCar 24 at VIR a couple weeks ago.

A few takeways.

1. I surprised myself at how comfortable I got with the track having never seen it before. 1/2 hour of practice, then go race.
2. There are about zero lights at the place, the paint isn't reflective on anything and it takes some commitment to keep your foot in it going down the back chute well north of 100mph in the dark.
3. Finding yourself going backwards through the grass at the top of the esses at about full speed is scary AF, although I kept it out of the fence. The other guy that spun at the same time wasn't quite so fortunate. I'm still not really sure what the hell I did wrong, but such is life. Car needed an alignment afterwards, we got it back out pretty quickly.
4. If you are there and don't escape to the air conditioned room under the garage stalls on a hot summer day, you're doing it wrong. It took me way too long to discover that existed.

Was just there for the Weathertech Championship: Michelin Pilot Challenge VP Racing SportsCar Challenge Lamborghini Super Trofeo NA Porsche Carrera Cup NA Mazda MX-5 Cup. Tons of great racing, including LMP3s running with the GT3s, 4s and GTDs.
Great track.

Pretty incredible to go from racing mx-5 on this track to seeing Jimmy drive this absolute beast

@JimmyBroadbent and all other (R5) Moza users. The auto FFB detection feature in options of Iracing is great and I advise anyone to use that and to set up your Moza wheel FFB in pithouse at 100%. Yet that said, I found out that caused weirdness by overheating the base of my R5 base causing FFB to get lowered automatically by the base to not cause "a "meltdown"" of the base after long (more than 2 hours) use of my dd r5 wheel. Lower the FFB to 90% in pithouse and/or to 5.0Nm in Iracing to not run into weirdness over long usage/ stints/ races because of overheating protection auto dial-down FFB problems, always use the Extreme cooling setting in pithouse. And for all other Sims use common sense, to not run into inconsistent FFB over long usage of your R5 base. Or the easy fix use a cooling fan just to be sure your base won't heat up to or over 60 degrees centigrade. Have fun! :)

I am actually amazed that they are able to have such control This map seems like it will be begging for spin out But we see our boy Being the champion Totally holding it. On point perfect control

And that is why we love you my lad.

From the guy with the identical maltese-shihtzu to your cutie, great video!

[seanhancockphotofilm]

This makes me feel like getting back into iracing - reminded me that you can play it for fun.

[taylor_mills]

Damn who's that you went side by side with through the esses in the second race? They seem really talented to be able to do that with you wow!

[im_an_eagle]

What is the overlay jimmy is using for the dash? I need to move my camera around when in this car and need to use it

[nexusdog]

@Jimmy_Broadbent What gloves do you have these days? Only I saw some 'Jimmy Broadbent' gloves on amazon and they don't look like those?

[ajamesc]

How do you get the dash to display, I've tried simhub and it won't appear on screen

[harleyphonicuk]

Anyone know what overlay Jimmy uses for iRacing?

[redneckgaijin]

Seen in livechat: "dont kill the poor gts they are innocent".
Me: BULLSHIT the GTs are NOT innocent THEY KNOW WHAT THEY DID

[MrKrampyHands]

Man i want to get into iRacinf but it's incredibly expensive 😢 $10 for the game $14 a month $10 per car $10_$15 per track come on now that adds up super fast ill stick to ACC for the time being

[petermaardananders]

Hi Jimmer, I'm Dutch just joined Iracing via Steam a week ago and got out of rookies on roads and rally already. Now I want to get myself some more tracks and cars. but the problem is I can't seem to get Iracing gift cards to obtain the needed credit to do so, thus if anyone could advise or help me with that I would be very grateful.

[SodawarsGaming]

Word is next year IMSA will have the full grid at VIR, which will be loads of fun. Really, IMSA needs to do away with the GT only rounds, it's awful for the sport to have a couple races where the most exciting cars to watch aren't present.
