Fun Fact: the 919 Evo had auto-upshift. The revs climbed so fast that the drivers couldn't keep up with the upshifts, so they had a mode that they had programmed to command perfect upshifts every time while the MGUs are deploying.

not to take anything away from them but a completely unrestricted F1 car engineered specifically for time attack at the Ring would demolish the Evo's time which doesn't say anything about the respective series, it's just a matter of "having near unlimited money and no rules"

Never forget. The driver admitted that there was so much more time in the car, but the Gs were too severe for a human to endure. That’s the fastest a trained and experienced race car driver could go while seeing black at the corner of his vision. The bleeding edge of cars

As kid, I read once "F1 car can do 0-160 and back to 0 in less time in takes to say it". Still true today.

The fact that you did a 4:58 on your first go is a credit to RSS making the car not only realistic but drivable and communicative.

As much as it's insane to see you do this in a sim -- it just blows my mind to smithereens that a human can put a car like that round a track like the ring with almost no margin for error and with life and limb on the line.... i just do not know how people like that can exist. Talent beyond extremes

I love the fact that the song you had playing in the background at 1:15 was Raise a curtain (Card Check) from the 2003 Nintendo GameCube game F-Zero GX. And just for that, I'm liking this video.

A lot of people forget or don't know that at it's core, Porsche is a ENGINEERING company. This is exactly why they dominate in Motorsports and can produce such crazy cars like the 919 EVO. Imagine what they might be able to do if they really focused on building a factory F1 team and then took the shackles off that F1 car!

Today I downloaded my first real life car, a shitty Opel Corsa, in AC and took it around the Nordschleife. That was by far the most fun I've had in sim racing.

the sound design is amazing

The flames in the mirror are fantastic.

The sparks in the rear view mirror are a nice touch.

During the very first confinement in England, i played asseto corsa on my laptop for the first time and discovered this car. I then proceeded to try and drive it fast without crashing everywhere because it was so fast. Finally managing to run the Nordshleife fast without crashing was the most satisfying thing. Even using a controller and on a 15 inch screen, the feeling of speed was unbelievable. I need to try again on my new Desktop with this fantastic new car. :D

There's been an update a while back for this car that gives it headlights, so you can drive it at night and in the rain too 🙂 They're not a permanent change though, you can take them off in the setup, as well as the wiper

Love the detail of seeing the flames in the rearview ❤️👌🏻

I think Jimmy should dig thru history at some of the prototypes of old. Some old proto's were so wild they weren't allowed to test on circuits. Chapparel is a great place to see some crazy ideas.

If anyone is wondering that blue camera to the drivers right is a racelogic vbox which is an epic data logger/camera setup used by amateurs and factory teams alike!

Honestly, I wish there was a "no rules" class. Not like _actual_ no rules but just no performance limits. You're allowed to do whatever you want as long as you're not running a death trap or something that's literally wider than the track itself, or running weapons. I know we technically had that with Group B Rally and we do with hill climbing, but those are different environments to a prepared course. Plus, those rulesets still require vehicles to have wheels and conventional wheel-driven drivetrains. I'm talking about creating a class with jet engines, ground effect vehicles (downforce, hovercraft or ekranoplans), any number of wheels, any vehicle layout, open, closed or no wheels, just... go crazy. Doesn't have to be competitive, and honestly I think it would be best off as an exhibition class.

Jimmy I am calling you out now, Do Le Mans in this car, I would love to see you crack the 2 minute 30 second barrier in this car! at the Circuit De La Sarthe!

“Everything they touch just turns to gold.“ Probably the best ever description of RSS. This car is just mindblowing, both the real thing and the sim version. Absolutely love it.

The irl hot lap video actually made me a bit shaky. Just seeing how fast it was changing direction. And in the back straight it felt like it wasn’t going to stop accelerating haa.

Anyone know what PPFilters that are used? (Also recording related tip, OBS uses multi-track recording, if you want to edit out swears but keep game audio)

My favorite part is the LITERAL FIRE in the rear view mirror. F1 cars are fighter jets on land, this thing is an Absolute land rocket!

Awesome lap man. Happy new year!

It looks like that Jackie Chan movie 'Thunderbolt' where all the motor racing parts are played at 2x speed to make the cars look faster. But this one actually is that fast.

Nice to see jimmer back in his natural habitat. That car in SIM and irl is insane.

Wow! This was heart in mouth stuff! In awe of the speed and aero on this thing! One of the favorites for me now!

They likely won't do it, but can you imagine what an F1 car with the same zero rules could do? Ground and aero, no pesky engine, fuel or tyre regs. Mind you, think it would be too terrifying and dangerous to try lap anything.

It’s slower than the W11 on Spa and spa is a high speed circuit, im pretty sure that the W11 would be faster around nurburgring too so it definitely didn’t make f1 look slow

I bought this car, did two laps in it and my brain and eyes were dead after that. Everything after the carousel just felt like its 2x forwarded or something

It's fast but I did a 4:44 with the RB16B (Verstappens F1 Car in 2021) so yeah

i can see that im able to spend so much time with this car on that track just cruising

I have this mod and the FFB was like extremely light and non communicative when the downforce peeled off? Anyone else have that? Is it supposed to feel that way?

Porsche built the 919 Evo to send a message... also this, like the X2010, triggered my vertigo and thus was reduced to watching with a single eye, but it was beautiful.
