Tragedy at Donington today as 23 drivers lose their lives in a single GP.

Some of them twice

Fun Fact: Donington re-opened long after the war in 1977 after the place fell into disrepair, so the greats like Jim Clark never got to drive these cars here. Though judging by the AI, it was probably for the best...

Jim Clark, arguably the best race car driver of all time. No matter what the car is, he would drive its wheels off

he also enjoyed a reputation for "mechanical sympathy" meaning he was fast and didn't break the gear doing it, in a time when structural failure was a huge issue

Jay Calloway For me Ayrton Senna is the very best racing driver of all time but Senna's idol was Jim Clark! So I respect your argument.

His laptimes were also very consistent. With those bathtubs made of knives it's impressive.

Absolutely true, and if he had lived he would have won the championship in 68, 70, (71 if Chapman hadn't gone 'inventive') and 72 at least. And most likely he would be driving a tractor in Scotland as I write this, at 82.

This being the 1938 circuit, people actually raced on it in cars with vastly inferior handling and "safety" (probably no seatbelts, if you crashed back then a fire was pretty much certain, they preferred to take their chances with being thrown out) compared to these 1960's motors... they probably weren't much slower in a straight line, though.

Jim Clark the legend! Also R.I.P. Sergio Marchionne

Tip for driving the lotus, work on the deceleration side of the differential, and use the gearbox and engine braking to aid braking, i spent 10 + years playing gpl in the lotus and the one thing i noticed in your video was the late downshifts, and how using the engine braking will aid corner turn in. Im no expert but thats my thoughts Extra thought... once the engine is doing most of the braking on the rear wheels, more brake bias to the front can be applied without control loss, and improve stopping performance

At least 3 AI drivers are literally killed during this video. Or they would if it were real, anyway.

Loved to see cars flying all over the place. One of the best videos I have seen in sim racing. This VR looks awesome. Congrats!

Love your commentaries. Really makes it exciting to watch. Keep it up mate!

Great video Jimmy! you’re one hell of a driver, it looks so much fun and scary at the same time. Thank you for the awesome content, had a great time watching this

Please, more classic cars like this jimmer!

Fantastic. Love the track. My Dad took me to see Jim Clark race this car in New Zealand in the mid 60s. We were up close to a corner sitting in a stand looking down on the cars. Amazing.

Jim Clark belongs to the pantheon of very talented drivers that never got a championship, definitely on my top three on that list alongside Stirling Moss and Gilles Villeneuve!

Brilliant video Jimmy. Especially loved passing through the railway bridge

Watching the suspension work was one of the things I really loved about Grand Prix Legends. Nice to see you in the old Lotus.

Wicked awesome throwback. Awesome driving fellow Pleb.

Love the historic layout, always fascinated by early race tracks.

Engine Status: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *shifts* reeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'm older ... love these 60s cars - thanks for posting this :)

Makes you appreciate Clark's talent when you watch his onboards. So smooth...

This is the kind of content I love

I wish the guy and girls at Kunos kept going with Assetto Corsa content. Their cars models were second to none. 50's, 60's and 70's DLC would be amazing. Sports car and Formula 1 cars from each era so we could have proper grids with a good mix of cars.

Amazing to see these old tracks, they were more a rally stage than anything and I can't imagine how scary it was to drive F1 cars around there Btw now I understand why it's called Donington PARK, cause it litterally used to be a park.. And a farm.. and a public road

looks like alot of fun.. keep up the good pace mister jimmer..

JIM CLARK - By far the greatest driver ever - no doubt. He is and was the Best of the Best. No other driver in history until today was so superior as Clark. This man is the Olymp of driving - the Michelangelo of racing - a dynamic art at the highest level. So smooth, so precise, so fast....simply out of this world. One, who won in Spa by 5 minutes (!) in monsoon rain...One, who takes back a complete lap (!) in Monza and back into the lead... One, who took pole on the original 22,8 km Nürburgring track by 9 (!) seconds and more....One who won Indy by 2 whole (!) laps...For eternity and by lightyears unmatched in the sport. That`s just four examples of his mesmeric unique genius... 3

F1 cars jumping! Say CHEESE!

Never realized what a cool track Pre-War Donington park was. I’ve never really seen a racetrack with a canopy that completely covers the track, except the straight leading to ascari at Monza. And even then, the trees don't cover the track quite like they do here. It would be amazing to see a modern racing circuit travel through a forest road like this.

Oh, man. The track side trees and the stone bridge. Serious motivation to keep it on the tarmac!!

Excellent! Thanks!

Man, that's just a beautiful track.

That yellow car flyin off out the back looked awesome.

I'm into the SimRacing business and like to try old historic cars... One word...they were CRAZY literally crazy to drive those things, at those speeds and on those tracks. I mean it was beyond suicidal, it was simply an hour or so constantly at a whif from death or being seriously handicapped for life.

Thanks that track is amazing O_O!

Beautiful Jimmo

As an old GPLer I must say that this it's the best representation made of the 49 since then.

This are the sickest Cars of Car History. 400Hp. And when you build out the Engine and the Tyres 2 Guys could easy lift the Car. This was some Rocket on Wheels without any Grip.

Lotus and Jim Clark, WOW !!!!!

I saw that car at Watkins Glen in the late 60's. I saw Jim Clark from about 20ft away. I was 7or8 years old. I have a good memory!!! I'm not kidding.

3:16, *car casually flipping "THATS A LOTTA DAMAGE"

I tried for weeks trying to get under 1:29 at historic monza GP in this car for that one time trial. I think I managed a low 29 before I just started cheesing it on the wall because I wanted that damn achievement. Jim Clark was a monster.

for me, seeing Donnington in that layout is just as thrilling as the car

100% thought you were dead at 8:50

those 60s cars were awesome

Looks like the driver's position, at least in this video, is significantly off-center and is moved to his left. Is this intentional, or a limitation of the onboard recording, or just where AC positions the driver, or what? and btw, as someone who spent hundreds and hundreds of hours in GPL back in the day, this is just the absolutely coolest video. :)

very entertaining

Never seen this layout before. Reminds me a bit of Longford.

that car is a riot to drive. i feel like i cant get anywhere near what its capable of because four wheel drifting is how you go fast so you have no room for error if youre going for 100%

Funny to think of how many race tracks used to be basically endurance tracks, but over the years they’ve downsized.

Hey Jimmy, guys here

3:15 so was hoping Jimmy would go back and take a look at that one. That was a big ass wreck

JESUS! how EVERY driver back then wasnt killed i don't know... mad respect for the people who raced these cars and tracks.... legends

Thats a laat of daamage

3:22 Unmarked product placement? *hard thonking*

When you started the race my phone screen change to night mode and I was like 'shit I feel just like I'm in the past'

The Lotus 49 is my favorite racing car possibly of all time. But somehow I don't like the way it drives in either AC as Pcars1. They are just very different from what I would imagine it to be, with both I felt like there was no rubber on the tires. However I do think Pcars 2 has almost nailed it, even with historic tires. It took me right back to the days of Grand Prix Legends.

I love how it's at 49 views

Does anyone know the name of the tune playing at the beginning of the video while Jimmy is talking? Really like it!

Looking left, watching the red Ferrari get completely airborne across the main straight.. breathtaking. Why the hell have I not driven here?? Oh yeah.. I don't have a death wish. Oh well.. time to give this charismatic classic a go.

3:26 major air👀😎

Great Video, thnx Jimmy. I joined & started to follow. Sorry for the newbie dumb question, but A) What is this game called? & B) Are there other games out/available where you could drive as or vs the Who’s ‘Who’ of Racing’s Golden Age? Without a doubt Jim Clark is The George Washington of Racings Mt.Rushmore. My last dumb question C) Does a game exist to race during Jim Clark’s Era in World Championship Gran Prix’s & The Indianapolis 500? Thank you for any info for the above!

What's the clutch actually like when you're using pedals? Is it like a real one where there's a bite and it's like... 'gradual' or is it like... a button. if that makes any sense? Only clutch ive used in games is on a gamepad, which is literally a button obviously haha
