- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- We're at Brands Hatch once again, but this time in my new car - a 2002 Honda S2000 - as we take to the track and get some tuition by Jimmy Broadbent on how to tackle slippery conditions and drive fast. I also tell you a bit more about my plans with the car!
Just to be clear, Jimmy isn’t a qualified instructor or anything but he does have a lot more experience than me, so it was great to get some advice on how to go quicker!
I hope you enjoy this video. Please leave a like, comment and subscribe if you do!

Seeing Jimmy driving that professionally just shows how much he has developed in the Praga.
loved the part with the feedback as well. You can't experience the difference in experience when you watch someone's "racing game" videos ^^
Tom, near the end of the video, you make the decision not to go back out again.
Doesn't matter if it's rain, heat, fatigue, fuel remaining, oil temps; if you feel like it's time to call it a day, you're always right.
The sloppy shifter is a known S2000 problem, there is a really good video from "LHT Performance" on how to fix it an make the shifting MUCH better.
Meanwhile Jimmy on his own channel:
N/A Supra > S2000 Confirmed. LoL.
Because Jimmer is speaking facts,Supras comes with 1200hp stock according to 12 year old fanboys
@@KitKitChanIsaac my car will go 0-60 in 4 seconds.
Every 16yo ever.
@@SlyNine 4 seconds is nothing compared to the real fast cars out there🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was a fun watch. Jimmy sounded like a freaking pro instructor. Also loved the sound of that thing screaming at high revs. Looking forward to the mods.
this is actually a pretty good concept for a build series.
Thank you, I hope you’ll enjoy it!
6:23 'Keep it in 3rd' - Immediately upshifts to 4th
first
Get rekt
In the session after Jimmy drove, you can really tell Tom's having so much fun! Awesome to see the difference confidence makes :)
As long subscriber of Jimmy, it's amazing seeing how far he has developed
This is a great idea for a build series imo!
12:46 “You can wait for the car to “shift””.
Thank you for confirming the “shift”!!!
Man that shift always scares me when I forget it’s coming. I thought my bushings were blown the first time I felt it.
Tom and Jimmy is the bromance we never knew we needed.
having owned a s2000 for 3 yaers you cant go wrong with it its a beast
Jimmy's video got me interested in this one. That S2000 sure sounds nice! Looking forward to what you do to the car next!
Really enjoyed the video mate, love an S2000! Bet you find a load of speed straight away when you next go out, now you know the car a bit more and know where the limits are with it. Definitely found the same after my first few track days. Break through the scary moments and plow on! Will hopefully be out myself later in the year with the battered MX-5 post some tinkering
It feels weird hearing Jimmer saying "I can taste the rainbow". (Insert name joke here).
Jimmy is quite humble considering his skill.
Having someone like Jimmer around to coach you is a really valuable asset, he could help you extract the most from the S2000, as they're very competent cars when driven right.
Also, I'd advise replacing the valve retainers for the improved version from the F22 engine, the F20 retainers can crack if the engine is ever over revved, and that leads to total engine failure, so for a couple hundred £ and a day's work it's worth doing, I'll be doing it before I go on track in mine.
S2000 ♥
Great video. I always love starting in the wet and working to the dry through the day. FUN.
@jimmybroadbent is a natural teacher! Awesome content, excited to see your progress with the S2K.
Great stuff Tom glad Jimmy is there as well giving you support 👍
Love how Random Callsign is in the background for both these videos 😂
Lovely video Tom! Great progress over the day! Look forward to seeing your plans for the little S2!
Paint codes mate. Gloss = slippery, Matte = grip. Then just play connect the dots from Matte to Matte. Like Jimbo say get used to it sliding and catching it, I'd recommend throwing it to SEE if you can catch it
Best sounding 4cyl ever!
Good video and an interesting project. Excellent helmet hair towards the end too 👍
Would love to take our S2000 out on the track soon. Perhaps not in those sorts of conditions... 😂
Good stuff, Tom!
Was disappointed with the lack of representation of the s2k in Jimmy's video, happily subscribed here to see more of it!
395th ... well, Jimmer sent me. Keep on rockin'
Not sure if you can get them with the supply shortages but with some Hankook RS4s, you can push the S2k in the wet pretty well. They are very predictable and confidence inspiring.
love your helmet! and your reg plate LOL
Great video, great concept for a series, you sir have yourself a new sub!
Need to be getting a bit sideways, liked that!! I sprint/hillclimb an s2000 in roadgoing class around the South East if you need any tips on mods or set-up. Will be at Lydden later in the year too.
taking bets on how long it takes jimmy to buy an s2000
loveee
subscribed, nice content!
S 200 POG lol nice number plate.
subbed - will enjoy the comparison between gt7 and real life.
I liked this one , watching someone with Similar fear as my own in a rear wheel drive car for a change was fun . PS, are English tracks always wet ?
S2K's look like death traps from the videos ive watched haha, the snappy oversteer looks like it'll bite you in the arse. Didn't they remedy this on the later models or am I thinking of the MR2?
Man is there ever a full sunny day at Brands Hatch?
You missed an opportunity when the rain started, you should have gone out and done a couple of granny laps then slowly increased your pace to get a feel for car control, it’s easier to learn at low speed.
And: "if you don’t spin you’re not trying hard enough" - just try not to do it when there are other cars around!
I've also been around brands in my S2000 but with a spin. I'm interested to know what mods make the biggest improvement.
bro really let JImmer teach💀💀hire a proffesinal intstead
Does tom actually play car games or sim race???? just wondering if tom did play with a wheel like jimmy he would know where to push car and how fast the car can be pushed in a sim?? i know a sim isnt actually real life but surely it would give tom the confidence and the knowledge of the corners?? i mean didnt kaz learn the nurb on GT and then competed in the real life 24hrs??? in a gtr no less with other real life racers??!!!
"he had a more stable car" kpphhfffhhsshshhs! ahahaha
One issue is S2000's are rarer now days :((( adding to that fear.
Did you have TC off? It almost looks like your nervous to accelerate?
It doesn’t have TC!
S2K is the easyest car for racing. Just hammer it! its a honda!
second
pls not punterino the S2000
NA Supra. A crash would dent your confidence alright.
