I watched the McS live at Goodwood when it did its runs. This mod is fast, but it's nothing compared to the real deal. It sounds more like a jet aircraft at full chat rather than a bad internet connection and it seemed to be powered by crowd gasps. In an event where hypercars came past by the dozen to almost no reaction, you could hear a collective 'holy shit' as the Speirling tore past, every time it went past.

@@jakeb2008 I doubt it tbh Fan cars have been around for a long time. Since the Chapparal 2J. But it was felt they weren't in the spirit of fair racing, so they were banned. Not to mention they were wholly unreliable, the F1 fan car was dangerous to the drivers behind, and the McMurty is blisteringly fast in only short bursts before the battery craps out hard. Interesting piece of machinery to be sure, but I feel like are leaning too hard into the perceived novelty of the Speirling. Fan cars are probably not coming back to motorsport for a while. They are hated for many reasons.

I don't remember the first vid I watched :( It was years ago.. 5 years ago? Wonder how long Jimmer has been on YT.. I maybe could work it out.

I just feel like the mod's got the downforce simulation completely wrong, the car should have a static ~2 tons of downforce (going maybe a tad above because of the passive aero of the car, especially that rear wing) but it sure doesn't look like it has anywhere near that, especially at lower speeds. Dunno, weird.

@ValentineC137

6 ай бұрын

Assetto doesn't really have a way of doing static downforce the best you can do is make super powerful areo wings that adjust angle with speed to sustain a certain level of downforce but that can be very involved and the only mod I know that has done something like that is the IDR to get the low speed downforce without destroying the suspension at higher speed

@ross302ci

Question from someone who's unfamiliar with modding in AC: is there a way to properly implement fan car downforce? Since the downforce generated the fan is a sort of "hand of god" force rather than aero or ground effect which rely on speed. Can you maybe abuse the ground effect settings to dial it in?

Chilton also beat the record at Goodwood again by a couple of seconds but they turned the timer off haha, even crazier they have a faster version coming as well

Nice job on the Finals JB. Great coverage highly enjoyable.

Brilliant video, however realistic the mod was. Real pleasure to watch you drive, and very fun & inspirational for us much less experienced sim racers. Couldn't believe some of the slides you recovered in there 😃

Congrats on 900k Jimbo, its been a great ride and I cant wait to see where it goes

Jimmy, let's be honest. You deserved it. All the sim games studios own you a bit of their incomes, cause your made HUGE number of people interested in this entertainment. Thank you for doing it with me.

So glad to see you break 900K. I feel like it's been a long time coming. Here's to breaking that 1M milestone!

Love driving on Nordschleife in AC. Even more fun watching Jimmers driving it in crazy ass fast cars.

Really nice content and congrats on the 900k!! You deserve it 110% :D Btw, wasnt the old goodwood record done by VW iR?? I think it was 39.9s

This is the content we all grew to love with your channel

Weird Tetris sounds, is the best explanation of the sound an electric car makes I have ever heard.

Have been waiting for this video since I've seen the McMurtry for the first time!

This thing should have a fan active regardless of throttle input. That's what they stated anyway, it is supposed to have 2,000 kg (4,400 lb) of downforce from a standstill. Seems like the mod does need some work. Very cool that someone is working on one though.

That thing looks like what would happen if you crossed a LMP1 with a Legend car, and unless I'm very much mistaken the starting throttle up sounds like a Pacman arcade cabinet booting up. Sounds of the future, indeed. Congratulations on getting 900K. Now the question is, what will come first - 1 million subs, or the 500th FailRace episode? And speaking of fan cars - has anyone modded a Brabham BT46 into the game?

Get this man to a million he deserves it 😊

What separates you from the peasants Jimmer is how few first tries it takes you to complete anything.

Your acceleration was slightly slow in the vid. The mod has an overdrive mode when you hold the KERS button. And when braking, put it in neutral gear to keep the revs up. It stops slightly faster and turns harder. the mod was made with the fan speed being depend on the RPM. Great drive as usual Jimmy!!!💯

900k is a credit to you mate. Haven't been watching for long but really enjoy the content and you seem like a sound guy. All the best

You’re an amazing driver that flutter through the chichane and still held on it!!

we had that car at shelsley walsh hill climb but it broke down so didnt run i was looking forward to seeing it i didnt know what it was untill i looked it up and its an incredible piece of engineering

Last few AC and iRacing vids were fantastic, keeps this up! RSS DBR 9 video next please.

i cant imagine the dent in that omp seat (congrats on the subs though jimmy, very well deserved)

The population of County Kerry in Ireland, where I live, as of the 2022 census is 158,458. Just to put into perspective the amount of subs Jimmy has. Well done man. Proud of you. P.S. I deleted my lap time prediction because it was an f1 in the snow time

Hey there, I'm the creator of Formula DS (now I'm working on the first well made rental kart, for AC), I've just checked this car's data: It has nothing for making the constant downforce generated by a fan. So yeah, it's very far from what it should be. Congrats for the 900K subs!

On the way to a million how freaking awesome

Using the antenna as a placement tool is really clever. And I can't unsee it now.

This car really highlights what a gearbox could do in a car like this for top speed. If you had a 2nd gear, there would be plenty of torque for an overdrive that would let this thing fly.

"Mediocre sim racer", brother, Bein a witness of ur journey is a hell of a motivation man!

SICK TIME Jimmer! I tried driving this thing and it aint super compliant lol

Love the t-shirt, had some original on my ribs last night.

Put a little bit of SPG on that McMurty and we're eating good tonight Martha! Crazy to see one of my favorite youtubers wearing merch from my favorite cooking channel.

Been waiting to see someone in the community make this mod. But i definitely thought as you did, that the downforce felt traditional and I feel there would be a limitation to creating it because of the video game not having a fan mechanic haha

Pretty sure you can create the static downforce, especially with the extended physics allowed by CSP, the problem is that the modding team behind that mod is made of totally incompetent people who can hardly do anything past stealing models and slapping physics from other cars on top of them.

1:37 MEDIOCORE? Youre too humble for this world jimmer

From a video I saw that was a drive and walkaround of the car, the fan is independent and must be off when the car isn't moving since it draws so much power. There are different settings of the fan that can be done in the cockpit of the real car.

Hey, listen: You may say something like, "...mediocre sim racing channel..." and that's true, but what _really_ keeps us coming back day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year is the curiosity and anticipation over haircut, hair color and facial hair. So keep that riveting content coming! 😁

Might be worth trying AMS2 and the Brabham BT46B fan car at Nordschleife - different sims/physics of course, but maybe some comparison with a reasonably well-modelled fan car.

ive been here for... four? years now its been one hell of a ride

Theoretically, I think you should be able to recreate the car with everything functioning properly within Assetto Corsa. I know that you can choose where the downforce is produced from on the car. I'm not sure if you are able to choose the speed at which the downforce is actually made though. I think someone will figure it out. If I had to make a guess, you would need to use the extended physics from Content Manager and the Custom Shader Patch in order to properly recreate the proper driving characteristics and various features/driving&fan modes of the car. Hopefully this video gets popular enough that McMurtry themselves, or in collaboration with a AC modder, creates an offical mod for the Spéirling. Maybe if we are really really lucky, Kunos will work with McMurtry to put an official version of the car in Assetto Corsa 2!

i like the NDT's "yeeonnn~"

Hmmm. I agree. Not sure about the accuracy of this mod. I’ve seen onboards of the real car and it just grips and grips. With nearly three times it’s weight in downforce, You’d be flat out through almost all the corners I would imagine. Maybe the limit is the games tyre physics.

AC isn't particularly good at simulating cars that are fundamentally different from what is in the base game. Both EVs and fan cars don't exist, so it would be a lot of difficult work to make something like this be authentic.

Holy shit, did NOT expect the BBQ Pit Boys shirt

Hi jimmy, someone I know has been working on the car since day 1. The first time they tested the fan, it ripped the tarmac off the ground 😂😂

The on-board & trackside footage both look like you've taken ultrawide footage and youtube has squished it to 16:9. Took me a moment to figure out what the car reminded me of, and i think its the old micro machines toys as a kid 😀 that sort of slightly oversized caricature scaling

This car actually uses the Fanatec Advanced Paddle module in real life! You can see it during the good wood speed run. Congrats on 900k jimmy. Is your autograph I got in sydney worth anything yet?

At this point it's not just a simracing channel anymore, Jimmy, it's just an overall racing channel innit

1 Million coming soon :)

I have a version that through extended physics just adds 2000kg of constant downforce and it is glued even in slow corners.

I wonder if the "skirt down" setting would improve the simulated downforce?

Well done on 900k! You've done it right compared to Rory and his spending all stream asking people to sub and only letting subs chat etc. Glad to see some professionalism on KZread these days

When he crashes the car sounds like an old school "game over" sequence lol.

In AMS for example, we can't do this aero without some hacky plugin that theoretically could be written. I'm sure AC wizards could do it, but I'm curious if they did..

The Motors sounds like a dentist visit ;)

I predicted a 5.40 as a reply to your twatter post, glad I wasn't too far off. Tough to say if it would go this fast IRL, but it sure is rapid

Yeeeeee that's the sound I here from the car

This car is a spine breaker

Jimmy, if you like fan cars and assetto mods that shouldn't have been made. Then you may like my subaru. It has 1000hp, 1000nm of torque, and weights 1000kg i call it scubi cubed. Gripping the ground with F1 rear tires on all corners, f1 brakes and transmission. But! Best of all, its a fan car. Special tuning was done so the fans taper off as over body aero comes in. it makes 10,000lbs of downforce from 5mph onwards!!! With the added fun of DRS. I made it specifically to max its driver out mentally. That said, this car is cursed and has a 50/50 chance of snapping your rear axles 😅

We just witnessed santa taking the wheels
