Thats a lot of time, effort and of course, money. Also Jeremiah didn't do so bad, the first race DNF (if the car didn't broke off he'd finish in 6th, but thats motorsport, where anything happens (and Edit here because I forgot is that Jeremiah didn't notice that because sim games doesn't simulate that thing), his second was 5th and in qualify was 4th, for being new at everything isn't that bad

Jeremiah doesn't strike me as the type to tear up easily, so when he did... that hit so deep in the feels. It's rare to see someone appreciate the gravity of reaching their goals like that.
By far my most favorite episode. To see someone actually doing something they only dreamed about and seeing that raw emotion. Love it.

Jeremiah tearing up living out most men like myself childhood dreams was heartfelt. Ive always wanted to race cars for a living.
Every now and then, Donut just released an absolute masterpiece of a video. Most of which can tend to make you cry. This was one of them. This is probably Donuts best video in a long time, maybe even ever. I feel like a collab between Donut and Gears & Gasoline would do very well
You made a lot of engineers tear up with this video. It’s a reminder that our passions are like gardens in that they improve with care, effort, and patience. If engineering is the soil, our dreams are what we plant there. Great stuff❤
I feel the tears man… that’s what makes donut so original cuz you could put a million feelings into a car but once it’s something like a life long dream it just seems surreal. I felt that down to my core man…love all of donut
Proud of you Jerry keep it up man. Seeing Jerry tear up before living every car guy's dream really made my heart melt he's surely one of the best at Donut 💗
It's been a while since I got so invested in a Donut video, I'm really proud of you Jer.
Seeing Jeremiah go full emotional before his debut race... Man... this just hits hard. Donut has learned us several times that, no matter how hard things could go... *_just never give up..._*
Its awesome to see how much other people care about cars as well and how we can relate to each other. Seeing Jeremiah getting emotional was almost as if me or a really close friend achivied a dream you know? You guys are the fucking best. Best video Ive ever watched by Donut.
That was so cool to watch. Congrats, Jer for making it happen.

a longer format for this kind of content would be awesome
Man, Jeremiah living a lifelong dream I have had since the days of Gran Turismo 1. I will say, those feeling and emotions he had in the car, right before his race, are absolutely real. I remember when I did my first race day on my motorcycle. The amount of pressure, anxiety, fear..everything just comes at you all at once. It's honestly sooo nerve racking, I have seen people forfeit and not get on the grid because of the pressure. I am genuinely proud that Jeremiah pushed through and still competed. When I did my first race day, I got last place in all of my heats. But ya know what, I walked away with my motorcycle looking shiny and in 1 piece, and with a huge grin on my face, knowing that the experience further solidified my passion.
Jerry was a race car driver He drove so goddamn fast He never did win no checkered flags But he never did come in last
This one hit me right in the feels, almost teared at the end of the first race. Great job Donut, and amazing job, Jerry. this episode was a blast❤️
15:00 man that shit hit hard... I felt that in my soul. Years ago I built my own car. A 96 civic si (we had those in canada) with an acura EL front clip. I bought as a bare shell from a junkyard. Over 2 years I spent $13k on mostly used parts except the drivetrain I built myself while in college for automotive. Literally built in my dad's backyard with hand tools. Not even an engine hoist. I jacked up the front, drug the drivetrain underneath, and lifted it into place standing on the shock towers with a strap over my shoulders. The only help I had the whole time was dad sticking the motor mounts in while I held the 350lb drivetrain on my shoulders. Fully built b18a1, high compression, gsr trans with ls 5th, lsd, stage 3 clutch etc My first time down the strip, I was having that same rush Jerry did, tears, everything. Dreamed of drag racing since I was a kid. 13.6 quarter my first pass with a perfect .500 light. Cried my eyes out like a little kid. Ended up selling the car for next to nothing right before my oldest son was born 8.5 yrs ago. I'll never forget that car or that moment as long as I live. I'll build another with my two boys someday. Good job Jeremiah, so proud of you man.
Yo, that part where you just sat and teared up a little was really wholesome. I appreciate it.
This hit me so hard. I started racing motorbikes this year and this is EXACTLY what it is like. Highs and lows of racing. Love this content so much
the “life long dream baby let’s got” had me cry for you congrats man!!
Watching Jerry tear up was the single most moving thing I’ve seen this year. Great job, man 🤘❤️
love how the fk8 is Jeremiah's race car. It is my current dream attainable car and watching this makes me love it even more.
Watching Jerry become so happy to do his life-long dream should be one of the moat wholesome donut moments!
Those tears were real as real gets. So awesome to see someone achieve their dreams. Congrats Jerry!
14:36 I felt that moment so hard. Working for so many years and finally have my own brick and mortar store (3 years now). Nothing like having a dream come true! Donut is simply the best
Hell that kicked me right in the feels. Congrats on living your dream man!
I'm so happy for Jerry you could feel how much that ment to him to be able to even try to compete in a race. Found my self cheering for him out loud on my lunch break good job.
Man, seeing Jerry make his dream come true like this is awesome. Credit is due also to the Donut Media crew supporting him and each other all the way!
Watching jer get emotional brought tears to my eyes. So happy for you achieving your dream man!
Jeremiah did incredibly well. He was competitive all the way up until the final laps, and even then he didn't wreck the car. For a first time race driver, that was a performance that any team would have been happy with.
Damn, dude. I got emotional too watching him get like that in the car before the race started. That was really cool to see because it felt super real/raw. We're all proud of you, dude! I hope that was an amazing experience for you. And who knows, maybe something will come out of it in the future.
I cried with you man. My heart swelled with excitement for you, it’s an incredible feeling to achieve your dream. I hope to see more of you on the track.
Great Video. Thanks for breaking down what it would take to even try to break into the sport.
love this well done jeremiah you smashed it
