Definitely. The interviewer had an opportunity to be pretty rude, but props to asking questions that didn't degrade Jimmer. It feels like a lot of media still views youtubers as entertainment, and not skill, so it's bloody awesome to see an interview like this. Props to the interviewer on that.

Ah yes, Jomble Bungleback. Certified shed-racing expert.
Can just see Jimmy's grandfather smiling from ear to ear and beaming so bright with joy that he is the brightest thing in heaven. He would be so happy for Jimmy.
I love how those masks have given everyone a "stroking my beard thoughtfully" mannerism in their interviews. Jimmy is such a heartwarming example of "humble guy puts in years of agonizing work to achieve overnight success".

We should rename monza t1 into the punterino chicane in his honor.
Damn that's really cool that Fittipaldi phoned Jimmer up and apologised for getting in the way! What a class act!
No introduction needed. It's Jimmy. Everybody knows Jimmy. Everybody likes him. Welcome to youtube sim racing.

Most wise people know that hard work gets you "somewhere", but you need that little bit of timing and luck in addition to have something as ridiculous as Jimmy's present life happen to you. People who have the "I DID THIS! IT WAS ALL ME! I AM IN COMMAND OF MY DESTINYYYY!!!" mindset are generally delusional. Jimmy knows that it's a combination of factors, such as the hard work he's put in, the community that stands with him (and him never taking them for granted, ever.) and the opportunities that present themselves when you've gotten "big" enough to draw eyes and ears. He always gives off this "we did this! You helped make this happen! Couldn't have done it without you!" vibe with all his viewers, and it is so beautiful to see this attitude from a guy who could just as well have become a self absorbed pompous piece of garbage. He could have been the Jake Paul of sim racing with the status he has in the community. But he naturally became the absolute inverse of that. As youtubers go, Jimmy is top shelf. The guy knows how to nurture a community for sure :)
What a great interviewer! Good questions

I can honestly say I never watched a multi-class race until I followed Jimmy. It has been a joy following him through this journey. He is a great example that, if you have the heart and work ethic, you can do anything.

@@nigeldepledge3790 I was lucky enough to briefly talk to Jem on the day. Apparently the issue was electrical, probably linked to the Snetterton DNF in race 1. This was between races and she hoped the issue wasn't in the loom, but was instead in the wheel. From R2, I guess whatever they did was still an issue at the start, so they lost the 2 laps.
Great interviewer
JimJem FTW! A podium will come, when the stars align and glory is in sight. We believe.
I'm a simple man. I see Jimmer, I instantly click on the video.
Jimmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyy! So happy to see him get his due! This couldn't have come along to a nicer person and I really really hope he gets the drive again next season!
As much as I love that sim racing is proving itself in real world racing, you should go introduce all the drivers in the paddock who have supported BARC for years to make the racing what it is.
Wait, I've never noticed, he's got simracinggp on his racing suit :o

jimmy is a big boi now. so proud :DD
Jimmy is fast becoming a real star, and he's a great communicator and advocate for motorsports. It's only a matter of time before a sim racer becomes a champion. It could be Jimmy.
The man, the myth, the legend
He is the the shed legend, now a real race driver,... What a year..
I still find it unreal that i watched Jimmer go from racing in a shed to racing in a real GP. 🤯
Most wholesome interview in the racing scene.
Our beloved shed dweller.
Congratulations jimmy! Much deserved
I could not be happier for Jimmer. Fingers crossed for that podium.
10 points for guessing the interviewer's accent! Lol🤣🤣
I feel as if all jimmer fans come here to support him like a proud parent
So proud of our Jimmy
Big Jimmer POG!
Jimmy the madman has obviously no need for press training. Absolute legend racing driver.
I love how humble and polite he is, I love the fact that he was just a lad doing sim racing in a small shack, and now he is living his dreams and cracking on proper…the truth be told, Jimmy is not a normal chap, sim racing or not, you have to have talent and a mental strength to do it for real and be half decent at it which Jimmy is proving he is pretty good. That me boys is having raw talent, don’t take for granted this lad’s abilities.
Let's go Jimmer! So proud of you mate!
Great lad, he looks so cool in the real racing suit
Excellent move by the BARC doing this showcase interview.

The Pride of Somalia is now the Pride of FreeSports, the home of Monster Jam, Monday Night Pool, SHL, KHL, Elite League ice hockey, and other such good stuff. I do believe that this is taken from a programme called "Full Throttle".
