    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 :)

    @@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.
