I'm sure I speak for a lot of people here. There are so many brilliant people in this community. Those who interact with live streams, donate small or large amounts of money, those who like to lurk in iRacing streams or watch the KZfaq Nurburgring content, and those who mainly just subscribe to you for you. Every single one of those people is incredibly proud of you.

Jimmy. This is just awesome mate. It's happening and it's happening right now. Go and BOSS IT this year bro.

Jimmy Broadbent used to be homeless and now he is a racing driver, buying a house, owns a race car, owns an R32 and R35 gtr and a professional sim racer. You’ve done it Jimmy. Life complete.

You ever just feel genuinely happy for someone you haven’t even met. This is a perfect example of this

Ladies and Gentlemen, our shed boi has officially become a shed man

Jimmy: "Seat insert". The rest of the world: "Booster seat". ( @13:26 )

"Jimmy Broadbent, you're a racing driver." Me *tears* "that's my boi"

This dude was depressed, broke and living in his mums shed. And now look at him.... absolutely amazing driving a fucking race car and succeeding at racing..... even though I haven't followed him the closest and probably not for as long as others it's still damn amazing what Jimmy's accomplished

It’s amazing that Jimmy fit that whole circuit in his shed

F1 race in Imola, and now Jimmer driving in the Praga, this day can’t get any better!

In all seriousness, I can't recall a time I was so excited for someone halfway across the globe that I've never met. Watching this happen is just the coolest.

“Beautiful mechanics” mechanic in the background: 😳

Makes a fella a little emotional watching Jimbo accomplish his dreams

Can't believe I've been watching this man playing racing games in his shed for years, and now I'm watching him in a real life racing series. So proud Jimmer💪

I can’t help but think of you and your Grandad playing Grand Turismo together years ago. He’s looking down on you with his rosey cheeks, genuine smile and infectious giggle. Now I’ve got to stop, because I have a lump in my throat. We are all proud of you Jimmer! 💯🏁

Soon enough we’re going to hear: AND JIMMY BROADBENT CROSSES THE LINE MILES IN FRONT OF LEWIS HAMILTON, MAKING HIM A WORLD CHAMPION

From a man getting emotional during a donation train on GT3 doing an endurance race around Laguna Seca. To a racing driver. Get in there Jimmer!

This is a certified poggers moment

That sparkle in his eye after he got out the first time

I never comment on yt videos, but this video has made me feel emotional on a whole new level. Seeing Jimmy drive the R1 for the first time gave me chills and a feeling that everything is possible. It have me hope, hope that dreams can be achieved, that working hard towards something is worth it. Congratulations Jimmy hope you have a great season!

Seeing this man crash hundreds of cars in his shed. This brings a tear to my eyes. So proud of you jimmer😢

Following Jimmy since 4 years, what a journey for him that was. Godspeed in the upcoming racing season :)

“Jimmy Broadbent, you’re a racing driver” what a thing to hear. Well done Jimmer, this is awesome stuff.

Sometimes that outro just hits different you know? Those aren't tears in my eyes, I just like watering my face. Gotta give the hairs something to grow.

Let's hope Jimmy transforms from a sim racing legend to an irl racing legend

Next video serie : how fast can it lap the nordschleife IRL

Hey Jimmer, I know I’m 2 years late and you might not see this but I just wanna say that you and this Praga excursion has been a massive inspiration for me - I am now watching this video again in preparation for my first ever test in a race car to get ready for racing in the Tegiwa Type R Trophy next year, I want to thank you for inspiring me and helping me cope with my nerves by seeing someone else as nervous as I am🫶🏼

God, the scene where Jimmy's sitting in the car, I think his eyes say it all...Very emotional moment.It's amazing how far he's come, so proud of him rn.

"Jimmy broadbent, you're a racing driver!" Like actually, hearing those words is making me emotional, I can't imagine how he is feeling

"I've never felt downforce before" somehow made it really relatable

I now understand how dads fell when they see their kids go out into the world and accomplish their goals...I am so proud of our Jimmer in ways I cannot even put into words... Go conquer the world Jimmy Broadbent!

Words cannot express how wonderful it is to see you beginning to live your dream! I'm certain that, a year ago you would have thought it a mad idea that you would be getting the chance you now have to REALLY drive a REAL sport car IN a REAL series and yet, here you are. Your old U.S. Grandma is proud of you Jimmy and I know you're gonna do well. Remember to keep up your physical conditional training as you get used to being in a real race car...at real race speeds. You did mention in the video that you were beginning to feel the stresses on your neck so strength training and endurance are keys to concentrate on as I'm sure you know. ALL your fans are proud of you and happy FOR you. Just do your best and don't think you're letting anyone down if you don't do well your first times out. You're not. This is a journey that begins with the first steps and you'll learn as you go. God Bless you and the cars you drive and thanks for allowing us to live this dream vicariously through you.

Alongside my videos, Praga are shooting their own documentary series based around this season in Britcar. The first part is now available here (i'm in it despite looking dead inside) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9qCnJaqxs-Zd5s.html

so happy for you man

I'm so happy for you Jimmy. I've been here for quite some time and it's been a nice saga from shed boi to shed boi in a racecar. You deserve it my man.

After knowing the depressed bandana-wearing shed dweller... This is just amazing to see, how far you've come, how many things you've achieved... Thanks for being an example Jimmy!

I can't believe the silly grin that came across my face when the in car scenes were on. It makes me feel like a proud father watching one of my son's achieve their goals.

There is going to be no way NOT to like this video, Congrats through and through!

Congratulations Jimmy I can’t be more proud for a mate! You’ve worked so hard for so long on this and I’ve been watching for videos for quite awhile now and Just from my bit watching your journey to finally get into a real race car from a race sim is truly amazing! you’ve been a huge inspiration for me and others and have been such great entertainment in my freetime when I’m not on the sim :)

Stoked for you! Great in helm cam view, that was perfect.

When Jimmy said 'Everything slowed down' I knew he'd be fine. That's the result of ultimate focus. Now....he's in the zone.

I hope when you were driving, imagining Chat telling you where the apex actually was, you also heard us all cheering about how proud we are of you too mate!

Is it ok that i have tears of joy in my eyes, seeing Jimmer living his best life? The journey over the last years, since you moved to the shed really, has been crazy and inspiring. And I got a feeling there is more to come.

It is rare that an internet video puts a full smile on my face, but here we are.

I remember our boy doing GP4 streams and making RBR vids like it was yesterday. THEY GROW UP SO FAST

This is so wholesome! Seeing the joy in yourself Jimmy is brilliant. Great to see you get involved in this sort of thing fella

I just want to say how much I enjoyed your New Year's live stream. I'm so happy and excited you're getting this opportunity. Live it up for all of us!

The moment before your first engine start was epic. The story about the pressure sounded so grounded, awesome, brave and cool. Like a movie trailer! :)

It’s 1 am here & I’m about to sleep, but I’m gonna sleep in the next 15 minutes instead

So nice to see you go around the track in that Praga, it's awesome you sharing this experience with us. We're all so proud of you!!

This is so great to watch you live your dream Jimmy! Good luck to you and the team and I can't wait to see you get a win.

I love how his spine shows his rookieness to irl racing while accelerating or decelerating :b

It's insane how much vibrations are coming out of the engine

So richly deserved! Such a joy to follow you Jimmy 👍👍👍

Jimmy. Its a pleasure to see you fulfilling your dreams and doing this. Ive following motorsports for as long as I can remember and your story is one of the best ones I've followed. What you've done is awesome and I wish you luck with the future at praga and whichever path you take after. I'll keep watching.

Seeing that 360 grin on your face when you climbed out of the car for the first time actually gave me some empathetic happy tears. Well done Jimmy!

The quality of this is like a documentary it’s so enjoyable to watch. You’ve come a long way from getting startled by YT donations to being a real life racing driver. Not another KZfaqr I think deserves this more jimmer

amazing jimmer amazing you're a absolute insperation for all of us sim racers!! congrats and good luck moving on!

It's awesome to see you driving the real thing! Cheers from Italy and good luck for the season!

So happy for you Jimmer. Good luck out there!

Massive congrats Jimmy. Have been watching you for 3 years now and to see this, makes me a happy fanboy. Had a smile the entire time watching. Congrats again mate!

7:32 you give me such a Fernando Alonso vibe

He's made it. He's taken a while, but he's here now. Good show, Jimmer.
