Love Jimmy, have been subscribed for ages.

[wasted]

Jimmy got me into the world of sim racing, watching the exploits from the shed got me buying my sim rig and frame and shifter and pretty much all the racing sims on steam, and I drive most days on it and I love it.

Likewise. I've ended up top 10 on some circuits on Assetto Corsa

Now that 2021 isn’t happening till 2022, does that mean DAS is still unbanned next year?

I’d imagine so as it’s a written change to the rules, but it’s still due to be protested at its first actual use so this may escalate matters!

Also if we’re just running this years cars next year, what of McLaren? Do they still have Renault engines?

[mjr]

They will still move to Mercedes, but have an exemption to make limited modifications to the chassis in order to accommodate the engine.

Chain Bear has done a deep dive into how the season could end up if we ever get one, some interesting ideas

Been watching him for over 3 years, since the first time he tried to 100%* GT2 or 3 in a stream.

* or as close as you could to 100% as GT2 had a bug that meant you couldn’t

Whereas I only heard of him in the last week when I Googled his name after seeing him on the Virtual GP.

Well if you ever watch the Gran Turismo official streams he’s taken the Martin Brundle role as the #2 but more famous commentator.

[scoobyood]

Been watching him a few years as well. nordschleife series with random cars is good. Seeing the GT Redbull X2010 go round is amazing. .... Plus great how he's lifted himself out of his life slump through streaming and YouTube.
Been some good car videos lately as well, getting opportunities to race proper cars and now he's got his own MX5 race team emerging.

Been enjoying his 'big boy' racing too in the karts and on the track. Just shows what sim racing can translate to real racing. And also its good to see him happy these days, he's had a tough time in his life and things are certainly on the up and up, he just needed to put a wang on it :P

For those of you who won’t watch sims and demand REAL racing I have ...this for you:
