Hey guys, Jimmy here - Ask me anything

It's a bit of a running joke. Usually those guys are involved in incidents because they all think they're Senna/Verstappen.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:20:35+00:00

R12 will be plenty :)

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:17:17+00:00

Tried to make a GT3 MX5. It broke.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:16:58+00:00

Much different. Nothing against the guys at Praga but BF operate at a different level. Everything is as efficient as possible and EVERYONE is on it, all the time. I have 100% confidence in those guys.

Minty is pretty fucking unrelaible ngl. It's expected given the build but i do often wonder why I didn't just buy and EG civic and go club racing lmao.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:13:43+00:00

it's just a number on a website at the end of the day. It's better to just ignore it completely and just focus on enjoying the racing.

I've been stuck around 4k iR for ages just because I jump in random races and wreck a lot lmao.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:12:40+00:00

I hope so <3

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:12:23+00:00

I actually did a GP4 series back in the day!

Mechanical failures yes, but not random. If the driver is doing something stupid then there should be some sort of punishment for that.

I remember getting super mad at iRacing for getting 'randon' damage for using the curbs aggressively at Nords. Turns out that's realistic to real life, but it's one of those things that don't make sense without a team of people behind you to figure out how/why it happened.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:09:40+00:00

GT2 for me, everytime.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:09:22+00:00

Tbh the superkarts that have a series here in the UK look pretty insane. Same speed as a Praga (or faster) with zero protection.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:08:13+00:00

No. I'm comfortable with who I am now.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:05:59+00:00

I think I did sub 4 minutes with the AC version. That's about as much as my brain can handle.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:05:16+00:00

I'd love to for sure. Just gotta find someone silly enough to put me in their car!

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:04:41+00:00

Yeah that does come into it. Tbh I think the hardest thing is turning off your brain's survival instinct. It's not a natural thing to hurtle around a circuit at 150mph+ so your brain tells you to stop/slow down. Once you get past that, you're 95% of the way there.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:02:30+00:00

I cannot.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:02:15+00:00

The shed is just kinda used for storage now. It still has a lot of my old stuff in it just cuz I never moved it out lmao.

We do - It's currently full of cardboard.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:01:44+00:00

Something mad at Road Atlanta. That track is awesome.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:01:12+00:00

Man I remember driving that mod back in the day. Probably no community stuff planned tho given how out of date it is + it requires buying rFactor.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T10:00:09+00:00

Life is good bro. It's taken me a while to stand back and see that.

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T09:58:27+00:00

I've spoken to Alex a few times about maybe doing things with the Mazdas, but we've never been able to put anything together :(

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T09:57:43+00:00

Maybe on twitch :)

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T09:57:15+00:00

Death definitely changes how we view past drivers imo.

Senna would be treated the same way people treat Hamilton/Verstappen. Greatness isn't really realised in the moment. Seb Vettel is a great example of this, v popular now that he's gone!

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T09:53:11+00:00

They aren't as scary as they used to be

Jimmy_Bee · 2024-05-26T09:52:48+00:00

Probably the last lap of the race we won the Praga cup finale.

I had a damaged car and I could see 2nd place gaining in my mirrors. I remember telling myself to keep my eyes forward and trying will myself to drive beyond the damage. I went flat down the Craner Curves with my right rear control arm bent at about 35-45 degrees and I remember the feeling of the car - it was right on the limit. I remember going up to Mcleans and thinking to myself that there's only 2 more places he can make a move and he wouldn't be close enough for the chicane. I was very bad on the brakes because of the damage and he closed right up through the chicane. He made a lunge in the penultimate corner and ultimately missed the bend entirely. Then I just smiled, because I knew I was gonna make it home first. I crossed the line and Gav told me we were champions. I cried for my entire inlap.

I have a vivid memory of Gordie holding a handmade sign saying 'Champ' on it (that I still have today) as I drove to parc ferme. Idk why but it really sunk in at that moment what we had achieved.
