Your final time would've qualified for 7th in the 2004 Italian GP, ahead of Kimi Raikonnen's 1:20.877. Barrichello's pole time was a 1:20.089. Not far off in that aspect. ;)

My mobile only showed half the title, “How to beat a 14 year old” ..... I thought Jimmy has been at the cider 😂😂😂😂

Hi Jimmy, great lap. The lap record is hard to beat because kerbs changed a lot, in 2004 were very very low, now are smaller and higher, so is impossible to get the chicane like Montoya did

I met Juan Pablo Montoya and Helio Castroneves when they came to town for the 6hrs of the Glen this year. It was during the world cup and they came into the restaurant I worked at with their families and we all watched the world cup together, talked about racing. They were extremely nice people. On the inside, I was fangirling like fucking crazy, but I had to keep it cool 😂. Edit: When they came into the restaurant, I was like no way?!?! Montoya came in and I was like holy shit this is awesome. And then Castroneves followed him in man, I was like are you frickin kidding me?!?!

“This is going to be a bit slower in a straight line” *hits a higher top speed on the main straight*

V10 = 100% Eargasm! ❤️

The effort and the quality is what counts Jimmer! And this is precisely why your channel is the best sim channel on you tube! Plus you're a cool dude :-)

If it makes you feel any better Mr Wanglebork :), even though the layout was the same in 2004 Monza is actually noticably slower now than it was in the past due to the introduction of sausage curbs on the inside of the first two chicanes. They were introduced in 2009 to reduce the amount by which drivers could cut those corners. If you look at older footage you'll notice they took a much shallower line back then.

Juan Pablo Montoya is one of the most underrated drivers in racing history in my opinion. He’s one of the few drivers that tried his hand in almost any Motorsport imaginable and was successful more often than not. Everything from F1, to Indycar, to NASCAR, to Sports Cars. Absolute legend. It’s just unfortunate that here in the States more people know him for his lack of success in Stock Cars than his success in the open wheel worlds of Indycar and F1.

Wait. This isn't the Nordschleife! Who are you and what have you done with Jimmy?

In case anyone wondering, that 357km/h equates to about 221.8mph. Was interesting to see that despite downforce settings changing that top end varied by no more than 3km/h implying a faster parabolica made up for the added drag?

Gave this a go a while ago. Managed a 1:19.946 with a setup I stole from a KZfaq vid. Was pretty happy with the lap since it was faster than the pole time from that year. I find that if you drive the F2004 through the corners using the traction control you can gain large amounts of time on exit. For example, going into the second chicane I brake quite a bit earlier but I am on the throttle just after the first apex.

There's a great mod on race department for the 2004 williams

I was going to do this, then I realized I'm an absolute scrub, so I didn't

From watching Montoya's lap, I noticed 2 things that might help you. One, he used the kerbs way more than you did, and two, he apexed much earlier in parabolica

You know it's serious when Jimmy goes quiet.

And they say Kimi is slow... KIMI FOR EVAHH

I check Montoya's lap again. The way he did Lesmo 2, Ascari and Parabolica was just insane. And the chicanes did look a little different than today.

imagine this baby with modern slicks

I enjoy your videos nearly as much as a real race.. Nice work man.

As much as I like the V10s, there are a lot of factors that stop the cars from being comparable. First things first there is a 14 year difference. If they went back to V10 engines instead of V6Ts, there is a very high chance that they could be faster than what we see now, let alone a 100% guarentee that they would be faster than the engines from 2004. Two: These cars had grooved tires, significantly reducing lap times and cornering speed. If they had slicks instead of grooved tires, they would have been so much faster. Three: The cars were of course lighter and more aerodynamically sound in the main body of the car because they can be more narrow in the fuselage area because of refuling. Finally Four: The cars now are using Hybrid power. It relies completely on an electric assisted motor for its extra power. Meanwhile the cars back until 2014 were all Naturally aspirated. A completly different use of power flow as well as a differnt engine layout altogether. All in all, there are too many what ifs to judge if a V10 can truly be faster than a modern V6T. Especially since all the drivers of these cars are retired, out of their prime, or... other unfortunate things had happened. It is highly possible though that a V10 can be faster than a modern V6T

I LOVE the old V10's, but really man; F1's ruination started with the introduction of traction control in 2001. It also ruined the purity of the sound of the V10's into and out of corners. For me the period of 1998 to 2000 - incidentally the Mika Hakkinen vs. Michael Schumacher golden years - was the golden era of F1 of the last 25-30 years. The cars were magnificent and the whole point of F1 driver's skill - throttle control - was at its apex. There were rumors that Ferrari was running undetectable traction control in 2000 and that's what precipitated the introduction of traction control officially in 2001, but for me it was over at that point for the sport. Hakkinen's heart also wasn't in it at that point anymore. I think he realized what was to come and that it wasn't purely about driver skill anymore. Loved this video, Jimmy; especially how you grew into attacking the Lesmo's.

Wait, that’s not a Williams.

I've only ever managed a 1:20.5 and that was after about 500 laps of trying! Aero was set pretty low but had to do a lot of suspension tuning which was a struggle for me. I ended up having to walk away from it before I threw the steering wheel across the room.. A solid effort Jimmy! Great video!

I agree, these vids are brill. I like the time trial format

Lewis Hamilton: Hold my Monster

You should do Jim's record around Monza historic in the Lotus 49

In the future, remember to stove.your car into a jet dryer to complete the Juan Pablo sim

To be fair back in 2004 the curbs did not include the green astroturfs or cement like it does today, so you had to stay even in a tighter line in every chicane or you would be dancing on grass. Even the parabolica looks like a road crossing a football field back in 2004. So hats off to those who made history or just broke a record back in 2004 on any track.

"That's all I got" A lot more to be had if you stuck a boot in it right after grabbing 3rd in Parabolica. Gotta hustle it and lean on the TC.

My personnal best is a 20.240. Lot of lap and test on setup to reach that. So good job Jimmer !

We have access to the 2004 Williams FW26 as a mod at least, Early and Late Season models: Early Season (Walrus nose): www.racedepartment.com/downloads/williams-fw26-early-season-f1-2004.21765/ Late season: www.racedepartment.com/downloads/williams-fw26-late-season-f1-2004.23097/

1:30 that laugh 😂😂😂 We had the exact same reaction the exact same moment

I've always wondered what V10-era cars would've been capable of on slicks. I know the complexities of F1 engineering probably means they were designed to run exclusively on grooved tires, but the F2004 and other contemporary cars still hold or held records for a long time. Could only imagine what they could've done on a set of superduperhypermegasoft rainbow-walled Pirelli slicks.

VR looks bloody awesome

if you want the *REAL* challenge, there is available a mod that contains the two versions of the FW26

1:20.8 is nothing to sneeze at lad. Good effort.

I thought it says "Trying to beat a 14 year old record holder" or something like that and I was like *"what"*

Cool video, Always cool to see you trying to beat records. Although you don't. Does it improve your driving at all trying to push a car?

Broadboy, I do have one suggestion for the exit to the parabolica. Go ahead and use two wheels off/on the curb, it's what both Kimi and JPM did and allowed them to use plenty more exit speed for the straight.

Why is the VR not in the middle of the car? I realize that in all the VR videos

Monza is one of my favs

I noticed that noise almost immediately! Just beautiful!

It took 14 years, montoya is a leyend, sadly his temperament wasn't good

I like the videos where he says that's all he has and then cuts back in cause he gave it a few more and beats the time.

The sausage kerbs are way worse now than when Montoya set his record. If you watch his lap he basically drives straight through the chicane. Shows just how fast the hybrids are.

That's why Montoya's record lasted 14 years

“....running more downforce, so I’m hoping that I’ll gain time through places like-“ *proceeds to name every corner on the track except for the one that can utilize downforce the best, parabolica*

Could you make a video about setups. Like how to tell how a car feels and how to adjust it to a driver's liking / style. I suck at those kind of things and I know not being able to adjust the car properly really hurts how competitive you are.

Nothing ups the intensity level in the closing laps like ole Jimmer not saying a word during the lap.

Can't wait to see how the 2021 regulations will make the engine sound. Hopefully the 3k rpm increase and return of venturi tunnels over body downforces to reduce turbulence will make f1 great again. Too bad that MGU-H has to go but has always sacrefices must be made so the little boy teams can still dream to platy along the big boys.

This car doesn't have proper power figures. Underpowered by far

I just want to make the case that Vettel hit 360kp/h in the speed trap last weekend

good job. now beat ayrton's senna's time at 1991 brazilian grand prix.

Man that engine sound is music to the ears.

Montoya attacked the first curb in ascari more as well as the second chicane. The curbs were a bit different in 2004

Jimmy pls install mod Williams FW26 by MSF Modding and redo the video. It sounds better than Ferrari and is a second faster at least.

Could you publish the setups you use for your best lap?

Good try! How many laps do you think you need to get there?

Don’t expect heroics.....drives faster then I could ever dream of

Beautiful driving Jimmy.

The f2004 car is on the f1 2018. Why not trying the record on it?

Access to modern tyres for this car would be awesome.

Did you use the Montoya line through Parabolica on purpose? You can use a lot more of the green stuff like Raikkönen did last week. In 2004 there wasn’t a green runoff. Try using the 2018 line, or will u get a penalized by that?

So current F1 cars finally are as fast as they were 14 years ago. Progress...

There is indeed Access to The 2004 Williams early & Late Model

It's at the limits of my mortal comprehension that these cars top out at about a full football pitch per second.

i don't intent on teaching something i haven't done, but according to my experience watching the real race driver camera, i think you are starting to accelerate way late after breaking on a curve, and that could give precious time, try that!

this is good concept... you can do this for another track records

Why such insane camber on the front tires doesnt look like all the tires touch when turning

why is the left wheel closer to the driver than the right wheel? Was the f2004 like that, or is it the mod, or is it an issue with the VR?

V12 sound is an aristocrat who hits the gym 3 times a week. V10 is a drunken bare knuckle fighter

Should've been renamed "Jimmy has a major orgasm driving a V10 Ferrari F1 car"

Any chance I can know which VR set you're using? Sorry if this has been answered before.

What recommend us to learn how to do setups? Any book, video or website? Thank you

I tried this it is so ridiculous how hard this is to do maybe you could try it with the real car there is a mod for it.

On this track it's near impossible to match the record, just because of the fact that you cannot ride the kerbs. Watch Montoya's lap, he is with the whole car over them, whereas in-game if you smell them you bouce like a ball.

everytime i hear a non-F1 car with a V10 i'm like "oh cool these used to be in the F1 cars" just takes me back :P

You're VR always seems to hang to the left...

Amazing sound!

His driving can improve. At the moment he is making his chicanes go on for too long, needs to get the car to change direction a tad quicker. Second lesmo he can use the inside kerb a bit more to carry more speed through it. Same with ascari entry, there is room for more time particularly on entry.

Heh I can't get under 1:30 :( Nice Racing J :)

Correct me If I'm wrong but, back in 2004 gear ratios were not fixed as they are today right? I'd imagine if they allowed ratio changes in 2018 the current cars would be hitting ridiculous speeds at monza.

I want to see you drive the Renault Espace F1 at the Nordschelife, Jim.

Blame it on the Assetto curbs Jimmer. Ascari didn't have the ridges behind the curb for the 2004 lap I don't think.

See if there's an option of adding 3-4 more Ferrari stickers on there. Get that extra 1 to 100 extra hp on there....

Why are all vr videos recorded a bit on the left from the center of the car?

Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy. I love your voice and all but let that marvelous engine do the speaking...

So... They took 14 years to beat a Record. Nice Formula 1 You're doing pretty well...

Nice williams you got there

Juan-Pablo Schumacher is my favourite driver of all time!

8:41 "Of course it'll come, as it always does..." Unlike my ex wife...

Now watch "an orgasmic lap of Monza" and like if u find it funny :D Also, pls do Circuit De La Sarthe with that jet powered DS Prototype. *Please!*

There is actually a mod with the williams fw 24 on Race Department it is Reallöhne good

Miss that V10 sound.

Is that left of centre bias weird to drive with in a single seater?

Into the first chicane you can start braking at the 100 mark with this car

From the title I thought you were trying to beat a 14 year old's record in a game.

You know there's an actual Williams FW-26 mod out there right ?

wow whoever did the gears for that preset you started using after 10:40 needs to refine it a bit. from 3rd to 4th it drops revs alot. From 4th to 5th not so much, then from 5th to 6th it's a massive drop again and then ofcourse 7th doesn't drop much at all as it should.
