Great team you guys are, what an awesome watch and great work you guys are doing!

@@wolfx.2546 Thank you 😁👍

As a wheelchair user myself, i think this is pretty cool! Nothing bums me out more than when i go to like Road America n see those racing sims there n never being able 2 hop on n give one a go.... i've been doing online racing forever but have to use a xbox controller cuz i dont have the space or $ to buy a proper wheel setup and mod it for me to properly use it. So even tho i'll never get to use one of your sims, it's cool to know this stuff exists out there. I've wanted to give a go in a proper sim for so long.. or even try some kart racing. Been in a chair for 37 of my 39 years on this earth, T4 para.. n i know the limits of my balance n stuff n so i've been too scared to try n get into real life racing, and every kart place i've contacted all say they dont have stuff for me to use. I'd have to buy my own. N like i said, when u have limited funds n stuff, it's hard to just spend a bunch of $ on something u are unsure if u can use properly so u end up doing nothing. lol. Unless u have someone around who can help point u or guide u in the right directions n carry out ur passions.. In our world we have to avoid the people that keep telling us "no, u cant do that" n seek out the people who are like "Hmm... i'm not sure? But i think that's doable, let's give it a go n find out!"

this is awesome!!!! As someone who is a disabled sim racer its cool to see things like this. i hope to one day get behind the wheel of a real race car.

@@Soli2deYT there's a place in Washington State that has a hand control kart. Not sure where you live though

Why does no one use this strat

"Just press the throttle a bit harder" will now be "just press more throttle inputs"

this guy knows it.

This is literally a thing in some arcade racing game i forgot the name of. If you pressed W + Up arrow on a KB you'd have double acceleration. lol

It’s simply math guys, it checks out👌

I stared at the screen in confusion for a couple seconds

What I've been doing...honestly, not that bad of an experience

@@siddharthakvr5154 Yes I like the throttle and brake but mouse steering works better for me.

Certain cars are better than others with a gamepad on AC. The modern F1 cars are pretty idiot proof surprisingly, but on the other hand, good luck driving the 908LH or the Lotus 98T.

I personally play in VR so I don't play ACC at all. Looking at that camera view where it had Jimmer in frame and the course blurred made it look like real life. Didn't realize it looked so realistic on triples in person. Gonna have to hook my monitors and give it a go.

Its pretty easy, the tuned RX7 is quite fun with a controller.

Yess that would be cool

I'm still laughing at the fact that DOOM was also driving that car.

Go get them in that kick ass car!

oh kota

At many moments in the video I was thinking the same and just feeling so proud of this incredible change in our Jimbo's life :'-)

@@MoonRBXL oh eitra

hellu kota

@@korrektja4196 oh korrektja, you sly devil you

Head over to our channel for some Bobby content. There's lots more to come too!

raced against bobby once or twice, can confirm he is an absolute out of this world karter, true rocket

It looks like it's an off-the-shelf Fanatec Formula V2 wheel rim with the APM kit attached to it for the analogue throttle and brake, with an adapter to whatever's under the shroud.

It looks like it would be relativly easy to custom build, if you have a 3D printer. I guess a Fanatec McLaren GT3 wheel would be quite simple to mod to change the hand clutch pedals to gas and break. For gears, it already has the thumb buttons on the top left and right and you could easily take out the original shift pedals. Edit: If you want help with a diy custom solution, I'd love to help

@@hansdietrich83 Already said that is solution many have used/tried. The hand clutches do work for this but can be awkward as hell as soon as you in a corner with wheel turned. Trying to trail brake or get ack on gas can be a chore with those small paddles low down. The full size ones they are using in this sim rig are more like you'd expect in real ca and far easy to reach and use regardless of wheel position. Plus something designed to do a job is always better than something you co-opt to do it. I may contact them and see what exactly they have and if they made the wheel parts or if Vesaro did all the work, as it's their cockpit. P.S. May let you know about that offer of help as building it myself is not an easy task really if it comes to that.

Our hand controls really are something else. If you want to learn more then do please feel free to get in touch with us.

@@blackknight1013 Have you considered using a flight-sim yoke controller, and mapping the pitch controls (push/pull) to accelerate and brake? I haven't tried it myself, but I'm considering it (I already have the yoke). (note: this would almost certainly mean no force feedback)

Come check us out!

Thank you!!

You should look into 3D printed gamepad wheel mods. I used one for ages until I got a wheel and pedals. Not much wheel rotation but more precise than a gamepad stick. I printed mine myself, but they're sold online too.

Dude is massively competitive with hand controls

And Billy Monger

You're welcome. Lots more to come. We even have our own KZfaq channel now!

You what???

I completely forgot Jimmer did that...

I was thinking this , and as a sim racer who i am sure started out on joypads I do wonder if the whole idea of hand ctrls comes easier than it would to non gamers.

Lovely comment. Thank you.

Thank you for the kind comment. Cheers.

oh nooOooOo

Take from someone in one. We are used to people using normal language. It's better than people talking weirdly. I mean what you going to say to someone in a wheel chair if you want to go out for a walk?

@@blackknight1013 Yep, my colleague on wheels talks about 'going for a walk', even having to 'walk round the building' to get to a meeting because of the lack of access. We know what he means, he knows what he means. And in this day and age, people who only hear him, or see his upper torso on Skype, know what he means without getting all confused and needing a whole explanation etc.

@@blackknight1013 I agree man. Just say it like you would any other time and own it. Mumbling around all panicked trying not to offend "that different person" is the opposite of accepting them.

It really has come a long way!

Thank you for the support 😁👍

Thanks 👍

Adam - you can do one yourself if you'd like to get in touch with us?

@@TeamBRITRacing If I had a platform to do that I would be all over it haha

Please you enjoyed it Katrina! Don't forget to stay tuned for more to come. Cheers.

Aki. Great story! Do you know who it was?

Could you please elaborate, it was?

@@akisalmenaho8473 Sorry, do you know who it was?

@@TeamBRITRacing Thank you. Unfortunately I don't remember his name anymore. It has been a few years since I retired from racing.

Jordan, the racing hand controls seen here on something else. Do feel free to get in touch with us or you would like to hear more.

Ha Ha!

Still on the pedals though

@@gertjanderooij9216 fair enough but still kinda' funny

@@aphasic6707 absolutely!

Also, next time you include a shot of a GT4 car dropping off jacks, please slow-mo over some PornHub beats 🙏

Check out the Team BRIT Racing Academy!

Come visit us to learn more!

Jay - good to hear. Great feedback, feel free to get in touch if you want to learn more.

Come follow our journey. We have a few track days coming up you could try?!

Check out autocross, if you can drive a car you can do autocross.

😂

Also check out Robert Wickens, he recently drove a race-trimmed Hyundai Veloster with hand controls.

Thank you

@@TeamBRITRacing no, thank you!

Our hand controls are state of the art. We have a talented team working to make our drivers competitive against their able bodied counterparts.

@@TeamBRITRacing Keep up the amazing work! It's really inspiring!

😁👍

😆

Maybe check the race result for the first race from Saturday? 😉
