Grandad's forever proud, Jimmer
I was there when this happened, and jimmy earned this win, he was sent to the back of the grid for passing the pace car, and worked his way up the field to win.
@@GECKOZFTW im tearing up right now. And i saw it live and like 5 thousand times over. It still gets me.
For Grandpa ❤
@liam Anderson Jimmy's Grandad was the one who got him into racing games and virtual racing in the first place. Jimmy's talked about this on many occasions.
The last 20 laps was the first time in his career Jimmy was really silent.
...Also, he didn't blink.
@@anosv9797 😆 Right. Though maybe he breathes a little on the long straights?
I witnessed this live and may (or may not) have experienced some very localised rain at this moment
It is quite a moment when that happens because it does put you at a real risk of crashing or breaking down
I did as well, and what a coincidence; there is a little precipitation right now, too.
I'm not crying, you're crying!
Its a brave fucking man who can show that level of emotion on the internet.
You're a complete soldier Jimmer. Well done.
This is gonna make me cry again
"It's just a game" Yeah, tell that to Jimmy. I couldn't tell the difference between him and any of the IRL Indy 500 winners, same emotion.
Absolutely. I just started iRacing today and literally cheered when I won my first race in the MX5s.
Jimmy: Oh my God! What did we just do?!
Boss: What did you do?
Jimmy: We just won the fucking race! Oh my God, guys! We did it again! Oh my God yes! Wooo-ha!
Boss: P1 Jimmy, P1!
god dammit the tears are flowing again
One of my favourite ever moments on stream ❤️ we need to remember no matter how many numbers are attached to a person there still that there human and have emotions, we love you jimmer ❤️
1:06 that car was having a rough time in the pit exit
@@kenny-kent60 Yeah lmao, I knew he was streaming so I was like " Time to Shine" loool
Watching this live was just incredible. So deserved coming from the back.
Definitely know how that feels. Lost my dad in June last year, didn’t win an iRace since I lost him but in August, just days after what would’ve been Dad’s birthday, I had an incredible 30 lap battle with somebody to win NiS at Michigan. Very emotional, tears were flowing. Hell yeah brotha!!
Ah man, you missed the, “can’t even do a burnout”
I blew my voice celebrating this. And it was worth it. Jimmy, you did us, and your granddad proud.
I dont think i'll ever forget the outpouring of emotions from that. All the things going on, wonderful to see
tears me up every time! You deserved that so much dude. Your granddad loved every second of that, I’m sure
Heart beating when you sleep: 80 bpm
Heart beating when you workout: 140 bpm
Heart beating when you won the race in iRacing: 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 kkbpm
The single greatest moment of motor racing in 2020. We were all crying at the end.
Jimmy every 5 minutes in this race "Ohhhhhh she's fast"
Who's cutting onions round here. Well done lad
Almost a year on and it still hits right in the feels.
Real life or not, this is racing.
Loved seeing this moment in the iRacing yearly wrap this year. It was just too perfect.
First the extreme focus, then the intense happiness, then the relief. Amazing to watch!
I will always remember this moment. Your grandad would be so so proud.
What a beautiful moment this was.
Hope for more of these in the future
By far my favorite Jimmy moment, all the emotion from that day still gives some goosebumps.
It's so great to have all these moments easy to watch, it might be worth uploading some of them vertical so they get put into UA-cam stories
I still get chills. I remember watching Bacho's reaction and seeing him smile and the look of pride on his face. 💕
This was epic @jimmybroadbent! Watching this again gave me the chills! Made grandpa and the whole community proud! Thanks mate. Keep it up.
That was such a dominant drive from Jimmer, good times.
Don't forget to breathe Jimmy... I remember watching this live, good job, well deserved, mate! On a side note, I hope you know you are a positive inspiration to so many, I and many others look up to you, Jimmy. Much love!
Was lucky enough to see this live, such huge feels. Best moment of 2020 all round tbh
your emotions are very exemplary... great respect to you super race super guy
This was so emotional to witness live! ❤️
Well deserved, this was your race Jimmy, making your Grandad proud
When I saw this live I cried a bit, this is what he would’ve wanted my man
Love that race. It was the first one I saw jimmer win. Your granddad would be proud mate. Love ya jimmer
This brought tears to my eyes when you did it Jimmy...watched it live too...
I showed this to my little bro and he said that Jimmy sounded like a real F1 driver after a win. So crazy what these games can do. Love you Jim.
Goosebumps, might be my favourite jimmer clip
Happy Jimner
This was so touching to see live. We love you Jimmer ❤
That's for you grandpa... Yeah that made me cry
I would love to see a highlight video of that race if possible :)
I remember watching this live. An incredible moment.
Congrat’s from Brazil!!! Well done! GG
One of my favorite moments I've ever watched on UA-cam
0:50 P.e teachers when their students turn 18
You can see him try to hold in the smile once he realizes
How in the fuck have i never seen this, love you Jimmer and your grandad would have been proud and i know you know he was always proud of you man!
Coming back to this clip after hearing that you and Gordie are FUCKING CHAMPIONS!!!
Heartwarming and inspirational
what a ride that was im tearing up seeing the clip again
this man had the willpower and strength to win the indy 500 after his grandpa died
legend.
Congratulations Jimmy. Bravo!!!!!
This was the most heartbreaking story on this channel. You owned that Jimmy
Gets me everytime. Bloody onions.
Ahh.. that’s where the intro cheer/laugh comes from.
Great job jimmer!!!!
Congrats Jimmy!
Seeing this live was so heartwarming
This feels like a genuine team radio message
watching this always gets me emotional
Remember watching this live. It was amazing
I think everyone was doing the same thing at the end of this race... Screaming 🤣
Legend this guy
So this is where what "woo! hoo-hoo!' comes from in the intro
The best moment for me as a viewer. What a moment.
I still get goosebumps
get in there jimmy
Shit.. can't say the emotion isn't real. I did the same thing but in a real car. You try and try and work and work and dream and throw money at it and finally you win one. I cried like a baby on the return road. I sat in the car for 5 minutes after I parked it just trying to soak it in. And then dad crawled in the car with me when he got back to the hauler and he was all emotional and I started the water works again. It's a wonderful feeling. Pride. Satisfaction. Relief. Joy. Excitement. Nothing like it.
Congrats jimbo
I think what hit him the most was his Granddad passed away a few weeks before the race
@@RizeF1X it's all of it. I can imagine that had a big part to do with it. But it's definitely an emotional thing. Everything you put into it and it finally pays off. It's awesome
Awww bless you dude!!
Where real man cried
well done Jimmy made him proud
Well done lad
goosebumps watching this
what a beautiful moment!
I really feel the emotion
We were all crying that lap
Such a feel good clip
Holy shit 😁🥲 had me tearing up with ya.
What a moment!
Now that is an epic gamer moment!
What a day that was!!
Probably one of the most emotional moments of Jimmy I’ve seen
Also anyone know how to find the DW-18 w/ AeroScreen
Man this was a beautiful moment 🥰
Had the absolute best car all race, blazing pace the entire time. The pace car incident was BS, but man... what a race. Made up for the pit snafu the previous year. (Maybe two years ago?) Mixed with the emotion at the end... one of my top all-time races. Real or virtual.
for your grandpa jimmer💖
People who say there isn't passion in sim racing are fools. There is no greater feeling winning your first standard race against a competitive field let alone what it would feel like to win a major.
It must be so hard to stay awake driving in circles that long 😂😂😂
This made me cry
1:42 perfect comical relief donation 😂 got Jimmy to smile lol
This made me emotional
That woohoo hoo! Sounded like Vettel
That'll be me when I win my first Daytona 500 on nascar heat
“The cars aren’t real, but the racing is.”
my team all cried after finishing Daytona 24 last night, we started in P13, got sent to the back after an early spin and some issues with our starters wheel. We fought for 19 hours to get to P4, Then spent the remaining 5 keeping it consistent and clean. The racing is definitely real. Such a good feeling to have the hard work pay off.
@@TMCRacing Us too, our first race together was fun. Started pretty much last in GT3, had bad luck getting punted a few times by some impatient LMP2s netting us 1.5 hours of total repairs. Our Huracan was all beat up and running 6 seconds slower but we crossed the line at P13. It felt so damn good to just cross that line at the end
And even if the racing wasn't real (but it is), after all, you're doing something you love with friends. I don't need anything more real than that.
I understand that it’s takes skill and lots of work but u can’t rlly call it REAL racing u can’t get the risk from a computer ur life isn’t on the line if u make a mistake but I can’t say it ain’t hard for computer racers it takes lots I mean lots of practice
@@emerythekiller165 racing isn’t the risks you take, it’s the competition you have.
