One of the best parts of the race was that it was free online. No needing to find some shady streams or paying some monthly subscription for an event.

RIP Dacia Logan. Along with Foxtail, you were by far the fan favorite.

24 Hours of the Ring is basically a Battle Royal for Motorsports.

Watching this years race on livestream was magical. It was a fantastic race. So awesome for Frikadelli to take the overall win for Sabine.

14:51 seeing the GT4 going on 2 wheels in the rear view was so sick.

Man, this year's race was epic. Fights all over the place, especially the battle between BMW and Audi in the night and RIcardo Feller driving like a mad man because of the penalty. When I woke up at 4 am, two Audis were out, a GT4 was in the gravel and shortly after the Dacia was ded. But when at the end the Frikadelli Ferrari won, I was full of joy and kinda sad, that we have to wait another year for the next 24h race. Hopefully with more cars next year.

If this isn't the epitome of the rF2 experience I don't know what is.

The unique nature of the length of the track adds SOOO much to it too. Getting a puncture 2 minutes into the lap is really problematic, fuel tactics, weather due to the sheer size of the track, timing of yellow flags actually playing out and can really shake up things. N24 is so badass. The Dacia crash was so genuinely heartbreaking to watch live too :( Outside of that, there was some epic battles going down. The two Mercedes AMGs were neck and neck for a while battling each other.

Near Miss Jimmy is my favorite Jimmy. That said, watching him fly around the Nurburgring, at night, without breaking his commentary for a second, was pretty unbelievable.

The intro to this video is class. You can tell the passion is there. Love it. Well played.

14:54 homie went up on two wheels!

Was fortunate enough to see this years outing live at the circuit, was really sad when the Dacia crashed and when Grello retired. The people that attend are amazing I'm fairly introverted and I got adopted immediately and drank some beers with them. If you ever have the chance to attend, do so

I haven't been able to watch as regularly as I used to, such is life, but I'm genuinely glad I tuned in for this. Can really feel Jimbo's enthusiasm and enjoyment.

I absolutely agree jimmy. I love all sportscar endurance races but the 24h of the nurburgring really is something special. It's an insane race

We need more content like that ! That passion you have and demonstrate is exactly why I subscribed 3 years ago. From the shed to the house, from the sim to the real racing, one thing remained and it's that passion !

This years improved TV camera coverage also lifted it to a new level. Spectacular.

You introduced me to sim racing now you introduce me to real life racing, ty jimmy ty! Would not have this passion without you

R.I.P Dacia Logan 🙏 gone to soon

The way you spoke about the N24 hit hard. This year also relit the fire under me for this celebration of racing, and reconfirmed my *need* to get there in person.

After watching this indy 500, the celebrations, the excitement. F1 needs more of that.

Saw you in the chat, even got that shout out didn’t you Jimmers! It was a good race and ofc because of the weather at Imola; but it was a great race! Soo amazing too to see Fikadelli win! Rest in Peace Sabina Schmidt

Well it's not easy to describe how going to this race live feels... it is a strange feeling, you feel like you are really part of something, the accessibility that you have is incredible, i did the night at the nords, got back in the paddock at 5 am, than the grandstand, passed the last hour behind the Frikadelli Box following the race on the screens while the tension for the end of the race was rising. This race is tough on the Cars, on the driver, on the team and on the spectators as well. I agree, it is the best race in the world.

I love these types of videos, Jimmy. They show your passion. That is 100% what I am here for.

After Years on the Sim and watching it on YT. I'm so glad I went this year can recommend it to everyone 10/10 Motorsports Event you can't get closer than this . 1150km drive was worth it !

If you have the opportunity to go and see it or even an NLS race, go for it, this is the best fan experience you can ever have. Viewing points along the Nordschleife are insane and all of that for a ridiculously low amount of money, which goes to show that the organizers do care about the fans

But Jimmy, the Indy 500 comms team said that the Indy 500 was the "undisputed greatest motor race". How could you possibly argue? They said undisputed.

Awesome video, your enthusiasm is so contagious. Just love to see you having a good time!

22:18 I feel like Jimmy knows something... Can't wait to see you racing here irl!

IOM TT says hello

I once visited a 6h endurance race around the nurburgring gesamtstrecke with roughly 60 competitors distributed across multiple race craft classes. there were GT3s or so, Tourenwagen and just modded roadcars like a Volkswagen Polo with stickers. i sat on the tribune at the start finish straight towards the first corner. the engine's roars were awesome. right now i have a good chance to get a free taxidrive around the circuit.i am hyped for that. I wish all fellow Nordschleife fans a nice day and may you get the opportunity to drive on the track

Foreshadowing much?? I love what you have achieved Jimmy. I cannot wait for this year's N24. Congrats on the race this weekend too.

Just finished our 24H Nord on AC. We came P1 in class and P8 overall. Porsche GT2 Clubsport is scary round here but great fun. Couldn’t agree more, best race there is :) Edit: just adding to your comment about RF2 being unstable, AC for us was amazing, and whilst we only had around 50 cars, there were 0 server issues, just a bit of lag that comes with AC multiplayer ;)

I was there with friends camping at Adenau forst, watched quali1 at the foxhole, and the night stints in the race at miss hit miss. What an experience. Been there a few times before and it doesn’t get boring. Can recommend it to anyone who is able to go. It Will be difficult to find camping spots tho if you arrive later then Monday probably so you maybe need to ask some people if you can camp alongside

I think I agree, any real life nurburgring onboard driven in anger is absolutely spellbinding

Its amazing to see that now he will be racing in the N24 good luck

Could not agree more... LeMans, Indy... both very special events, but to me they do not feel as close to me as the N24. Just seeing something so close to roadcars race with GT3 and experiencing how close to all fans this event is is just amazing. If you are ever at Nürburgring while there is no race going on, rent a bike in Adenau and ride around the ring on your own to properly soak in all the awesome corners.

You kinda have a spidey sense to avoid crashes. Very nice. ❤

LOL that porsche on two wheels in the rear view mirror at 14:50

We just did a 24hr Nordschleife hosted by AC Friends on Assetto Corsa - the epicness of this race is really without comparison. ❤

Love hearing the Persona 5 Casino Palace theme.

RF2 is easily my favourite simulator. It gets SO MANY THINGS right. And even with all the things that goes wrong. I cant help but love it

Memes aside, the dacia was such a dangerously slow car to be around the Nurburgring 24h, I was surprised it actually took that long for it to cause an accident.

At least that t2 incident didn't end up like the real life GTs in Macau a few years back! 😆 Edit: I spoke too soon! That was carnage at the far end of the GP circuit! Lol!

it makes me happy to see him gushing about how much he wanted to drive the ring in real life, to seeing him actually win the real Nurburgring gt4 championship.

I actually participated in the ACF league NBR24H in Assetto Corsa just last week. Literally almost no requirements to get in except for a just enough bit of driving skill. It was so cool, met new people as I joined a team and we just had an amazing time in the race with our TCR Golf. 48 teams with over 200 people driving that race with us. Le Mans is next in AC in just 3 weeks so excited for that. Definitely got me into league sim racing and got me more into the real NBR/endurance scene

I absolutely agree with you that the Nürburgring 24H is the most fantastic race in the world. I was there a couple years ago and actually met you then because of a friend who watched you. I did not, but I have been watching your channel ever since. I am thinking, could this sort of thing be created in multiplayer in Assetto Corsa + CSP + Sol perhaps?

And now Jimmy is part of the Greatest Race in the World Realtalk I am so happy for you Jimmer

This video is amazing, absolute carnage the whole way. The green hell is truly the pinnacle of motorsport I agree with that for sure

Agreed, it was nice talking to you in stream chat nearer to the end as well

love the detail of the jackets on the marshals and the signs reflecting back.. the detail and the beauty is really very cool

Thanks for sharing your passion Jimmy. Great video.

I was there, camping for a week and i must say, the atmosphere with all the fans is absolutely one of a kind, and what makes the race the greatest there is

The foreshadowing is crazy

Amazing race. And not to debate Gran Turismo vs PC Sims, but I still think the N24 Circuit was the best on that game. The day/night is amazing, spectators all around, campfires etc. Just beautiful work from Kaz and Polyphony truly inspired from the love of that race.

14:53 OH MY GOD THE GT4 LITERALLY ABOUT TO TIP OVER FIGHTING WITH THE BMW LMFAOOOO

the fact that the N24 is so cheap in comparison to attend as well definitely makes it unmatched compared to other 24h enduro races too

i like the fact that you've released this during the IOM TT, probably THE greatest road race in the world

That was a great video. I liked RF2, especially the day/night/day transitions, variable weather, drying line, the feel of being just on the edge most of the time, and the look of it. My old clan used it for all our annual enduro events, one of which was 24hrs of Nords at 4x time acceleration.. 6 hours online with max of 30 racing mates. Awesome times

I go in person every year, and yes, it is the biggest race in the world. Nothing compares to it, the concept is just insane. Price is really budget friendly (full week 74 EUR, weekend 70) with access to all the track with no other restriction than the VIP areas. You are literally able to walk through the paddock or do the grid walk 15 minutes before the start of the race, and that's just the starters. Then it's 26 km of track to walk around with the craziest fans you could ever find.

Good point about the accessibility (in terms of money) of the event. Some people mentioned that the stream was free as well.

Not sure how much time you put into scripting these videos but that intro was so good. You put it so, so well.

Watched the race live for as long as I could and the first 8 laps were absolutely nuts! Loved that the Manta actually finished but the Logan accident was typical of multi class racing. The slower car can't get out of the way of the faster cars that don't want to slow down. Rust In Pieces, Logan!

You got balls saying this immediately after the Indy 500. XD

This video affirms all of my feelings about rFactor2. So close, yet so far. Glad you can still get enjoyment out of it, I struggle to have the patience for rf2 personally.

Someone please make a mod/add on for a racing game where a person can play as a spectator. Full body, walking around outside the track while others race. Put in a few mini games to play with other spectators in the stands. Ppl watching would be able to feel a part of it, and the racers will get a filled out grandstand/a with "actual people". First 30 ppl get the option to have a sign they can design in game. Going down a straight and seeing " No Punterino!". I'm sure there are so many other things that could be added.

Damn I was just watching your karting videos and new video popped up.Thanks Jimmy,you’re about to delay my bed time with 23mins 😂

I like how they put 16 rev LEDs in this car in RF2, and managed to have it only be able to usefully show 2 states, you could have achieved that much with a single LED. Good job RF2.

It’s awesome to go there for the race, but it’s also awesome for how the online coverage is done. Both ways of watching are just amazing.

AC with content manager on the combined layout has all of the fans contraptions and all modelled in

Actually Jimmy *pushes glasses up the nose*: I recently had the pleasure of trying out the GT7 on PS5 VR2...wow. The physics are somewhat improved, but the ambiance...mah gerrd, I had to stop the car and just admire the lighting on the dashboard. Absolutely stunningly beautiful.

14:55. Porsche nearly flipped over

GT7 has some very impressive VR races at the ring. Definitely worth checking out.

We are going to the race since 15 years with 7-8 guys. Wippermann everytime, Tuesday until Sunday. Highlight of the year!

RIP Dacia ❤

the best feeling is that this track will come to acc next season so its finally here in a stable multiplayer

Despite being subbed, I haven't been keeping tabs on Jimmer in a while but, boy, am I glad the YT algo gave me this gem. It reminds me of what I see in this man. The pure enjoyment and passion compared with almost robotic reflexes and perception.

Had the race on while competing in the Silverstone 24 hour in the c1s. Brilliant

Great video and driving! I love driving the 911 RSR on the Nordshleife.

rFactor 2 is actually starting to fix their servers this year. Last year was the year of new content. This year is said to be their server fixing year. At least from what I heard from Michi Hoyer's stream I watched a few days ago.

Low Fuel Motorsport has the nurbugring race with gt3, porsche cup and btcc!

NBR24 is the one and only race that i can watch for almost the whole length

I have been the past 3 years spectators have been allowed, best atmosphere, best diversity in cars, big SP9 field (GT3), and all the beer and food you can wish for, Germans just do it better, can't wait to go next year already. Great video Jimmer.

The N24 is the second best race, only behind the prestigious Piston Cup Season Finale, the Dinoco 400 at the Motor Speedway of the South

*watching the first lap being a constant carnage, cars on their roofs* ah yes typical Nurb24h spirit :DD

Does anyone else find it impossible to watch endurance racing, because it's not possible to see everything going on, but then you drive it and it's the best series ever? Just me?

Jimmy going full send into every single yellow flag and being surprised he (almost) gets collected every time lol

love the classic style video :D

Epic video Jimmer...ngl when Kevin Estre lost his back left and spun l was guttered for him and the charge was done ...But this years 24H was awesome and happy that a kiwi was in on the gt3 dub ⛳

These are the best kinds of videos

You have to love the commitment to have nearly a thousand video cameras to properly cover the race. Oh wait.

Unmissable race, I make sure I watch every minute of the YT live stream every year since I found it in 2017. Amazing track, unpredictable, huge field, insanely close racing especially between the SP9 cars and hundreds of thousands of fans having a 3-4 day party. If only there were more circuits like it! I recommend watching the final laps of the 2017 race, for example. Unforgettable stuff

Well who knows, Jimmer... maybe one day we'll see you up there racing for one of the top-class teams on the N24. I mean, we've seen that dreams can come true in the past, so with enough determination and endurance (can I use that word in this context?) you can and will one day be out there. Don't stop believing!

Went there for the first time this year and seeing it up close you’ll realise how mental these drivers are. Just think about the fact that the top 4 was within 2,5 minutes. That’s basically only a few seconds per lap apart for an entire day. They send it at the start, they send it with the evening sun in their faces, in the absolute darkness, overtaking three cars at half their speed in blind corners, and up until the checkered flag, praying their ducktape and dust covered car stays in one piece. And the best thing is the atmosphere around the Ring: a quarter of a million people and I haven’t seen anything but smiling and friendly people, even the shitfaced were at peace and just enjoying the race

jimmy you could not be more wrong! the greatest race is the 23h race for mental health, absolutely no contest

this is awesome i wished it would never end if you ever think of doing this again that would be awesome

Great vid, Jimmer

It’s my dream to attend the n24 one year. I’ve been to the Daytona 24 many times, and it’s a great event, but I know the n24 has to be cooler. My favorite race to watch online every year

i remeber the vln 2005 for original rfactor, those were the days

I've subscribed for years and never commented but this is your best video in my opinion.

"this race demands concentration!" He says as he's setting hot-laps at night while dodging traffic, giving full commentary to himself and his viewers while responding to chat...
