For those that think these are just games, Max Verstappen, the current F1 world champion, is one of the most active simracers in the world. And in his position he could race in whatever category he wanted to, but instead he prefers to do simracing to try different categories. These "games" have gotten that good over the years.

Blanket statements like this don't tell the whole story, not all games are created equal. You have sim racing games and you have arcade racing games, (and simcade, which falls somewhere in the middle) sim racing games is what Max Verstappen is playing.

Doesn’t say much. When we all graduated college they bought 4 racing sims so we can race whenever. Michelle and Jean had 1 rule we couldn’t race unless we turned 21, did well in college if any of us graduated before the others, and earned by our actions. I miss every off from work, we’d race and have a great time randomly picking which tracks to do and if we did daytona/talladega we’d draft together. I haven’t raced since 2017. I’m now married. 36, but even though all of us got bullied, dealing with that is how we became good friends. I most likely will never race again. But. Idk player KZfaq channel has my iracing fire going. I enjoy watching his streams of iracing. Bob holly is 1 celebrity/race car driver I miss racing against. A hilarious 1 to race against is jewel.

I really enjoyed the film. I didnt know much about him, but it did open the door to me learning a lot more about him. The movie did take some "liberties" with his story, but I still felt it was a good movie for non-racing fans and racing fans would enjoy it. A bit of a disappointing decision to make a crash that happened a couple years after the movie as a big story element, especially when it resulted in the loss of life though. Kinda felt like they turned a tragedy into a opportunity without paying proper respects to the individual who died and Janns story. However, it was a good movie, the acting was good, the story (minus the crash) was good, and the cinematics were amazing.

Honestly i really think a move to Toyota/Lexus could prove beneficial. As far as manufacturers go in Japan (if he still wanted to get into the Japanese scene), Toyota is currently the only brand that has a variety of racing programmes to get into (especially compared to what Nissan has right now). Toyota/Lexus is currently developing a brand new GT3 car for WEC and other GT series use and it can also be used as a clear stepping stone if he really wants to go to the Hypercar class.

I wasn't confident enough to talk much to him, but he genuinely seemed like a cool dude that couldn't wait go race LMP1 at Le Mans. It was so cool being in that room as one of the first to see that car and their whole program launch. And then within that same year it was dead :(

I think the story of the first GT Academy winner, Lucas Ordóñez, it's very underrated, having in mind that he was the first of all, going to the absolutely unknown, and having a pretty good career after that. His success was the seed that made posible to people like Jann became driver too, because without that success, Nissan would have been shut down all the project fast, and instead, they felt encouraged to look for more talents like Ordóñez and Mardenborough. As I said, pretty underrated. Needs more recognition.

I've been obsessed with the Gran Turismo games. I have lived within a 30-minute distance from the Hungaroring for two decades and was really looking forward to an incredible cinematic experience like 2013's Rush from Ron Howard! Unfortunately, I've set the bar too high and the film couldn't have lived up to my expectations. The idea of the game is to feel like a 'Real Racing Driver' with lifelike models of machinery and courses! The movie was unable to give back the same feel, and as you have said Josh, being a bit of a racing nerd and someone who's a frequent visitor to the filming location in real life, the immersion was broken. No amount of CG could mask it once you've seen it, although they did mask the 'HUNGARORING' sign of the main building with an extra layer of reflective windows. Going backwards on the track layout also didn't do anything. Credit where credit's due, they did manage to shoehorn in the Mulsanne Straight with some in-game footage to the layout!😂 I'm sure Jann is happy anyway getting a well-deserved movie, and a Josh Revell video made about his journey! Well done, Sir!

Latifi might not be the best within the pool the best racers in the world. He is still in the pool of best racers of the world. Be in the standings near him, even though he has trained since childhood is a incredible achievement.

This was a good mini documentary. I think he deserved to have an episode. I thought the movie was surprisingly good myself.

The very thin triggering me the most was the LeMans race. They literally raced half on the Hungaro ring! That was not LaSarthe for the most part. The rest was fine. But the track action… ugh… that bothered me with the inaccurate tracks.

This is a fantastic documentary. The only thing missing in an interview with him, and what he's up to these days. I'd still be playing GT5 shuffle 300pp rooms if they hadn't shut down the server! We had some groups that made up games like golfing a fiat 500 around the track with a Lambo and the lowest pp cars on the hilly dirt track. I was NOT a fan of grinding those Nissan challenges for 1/1000's of a second.

Amazing content as always Josh. Gotta say, Cameron F1 makes some decent content too, but good Lord, it’s hard not to laugh at how over-dramatic his narration is. So much so that I always wonder if he’s just taking the piss and trying to be goofy, or just over-doing it 😂

Where is Jimmy Broadbent’s movie coming out?

That was why I was NOT expecting this movie. My friends that are into sims and automotive called me weird because I said It will be not good. Not bad but not good will be a super hyped drama, with lots of crazy fights and hollywood crap. But hey... its good he got the attention he is cool. Hope he get a good cut of money. The good - as a track assistant I WOULD ENCOURAGE SIM RACERS TO TRY THEIR LOCAL TRACK! I hope more and more young blood assisting the local track open track days and local racing! The bad - The Sim racers that will try their cars in the streets...and put in danger other people and themself.
