We are currently developing four more 1934 GP cars, including the 1934 Bugatti T59, the 1934 Alfa Romeo P3, the 1934 Mercedes W25, and the 1934 Auto Union Type A.
Yippee
Surely this will get pinned when Jimmy notices.
You are doing the community a great thing. This is awesome!
Are you going to have the Alfa Romeo's throttle in the middle instead of the brake? because that would be cool. I also did a tour around Greece in one
If you were to make the fiat s76 (Beast of Turin) I would love you for that
The positive camber on these old race cars was to decrease the scrub radius, thus, reducing the strength needed to turn the wheel
Sheesh
They were also VERY oversteer prone
@@MyLonewolf25 which doesn't surprise me with all that weight close to the front end.
@@crazyadam9281that would increase understeer because the front end would have more inertia
@@joarnold9495 It's more complicated than that.
You should use the 60's version of the nurburgring when using vintage cars like this, no way a car like that has driven on a smooth road like that, just to increase the danger factor😊
That is something you notice in video games with "old tracks". They tend to be very smooth.. which I doubt was the case.
Yes but i reckon Jimmy picked this version cause knows this version very well.
Good idea
Give it a like people, so that Don Jimmy can see it
@@HaltzoAlso because it’s the only way to fairly compare lap times between every car.
Jimmy's gradual transition into GPLaps is great and I'm here for it
Jimmer and Jake v. Aidan and Ollie in a Classic LeMans race.
I think he he could pull off the 'stache.
If that means he gets rid of the embarrassing clickbait thumbnails I’m all there for it.
This stupid exaggerated clickbait bullshit ruins it for me and I can’t watch them anymore.
@@rolux4853that's UA-cam and capitalism for you. To be fair to him, at this stage he probably just gives the raw footage and idea to an editor and leaves the rest to them. Doesn't excuse the clickbait crap of course as it's his channel after all and he should treat his viewers with a bit more respect in that sense, but still, I don't watch him for the thumbnails and titles, I watch because he's an engaging and informative presenter.
@rolux4853 this is my job at the end of the day and unfortunately that means changing with the times...even if you have to do stupid shit.
Years ago I was lucky enough to watch a pre-war race at Donington. A full grid of these things being sent at full speed was just mindblowing to watch. So much faster than I expected
8:07 "we're learning every time we do it" *immediately spins in turn 1* LMFAO
"This is the one!"
Spectators were the equivalent of airbags to reduce impact force 😂
And kids were gravel zones, red mushy ones once they got maimed and dragged under the wreck, as seen in Monza 1961 with the Clark into Von Trips accident.
I wonder if this has correctly modelled power steering (or rather, the lack off). Seems like engine braking does most of the braking too! Crazy. Can't imagine what it was like driving these cars at the time.
This video reminds me of one of the most famous female racers, Eliška Junková. Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of her passing. She was a Czechoslovakian racing driver, and in the 1920s she was perhaps the best female racing driver in the world. She drove Bugatti cars and even won the 1927 German Grand Prix in the 2 litre class at the Nurburgring. Sadly, her driving career was very shortlived and only lasted a few years, because she quit after her husband, also a racing driver, was killed in the 1928 German Grand Prix. To this day, she is respected as one of our country's top drivers and still serves as an inspiration for girls getting into racing.
I have a Slovak wife who drives like a hooligan and we live in SK. I've never heard of that lady but shall look her up right now. Thank you for that info.
My vote for the next car is the 1936 'Dick Seaman Special' (Yes, that's it's real name 😂) by Fourty-Too! on RaceDepartment. If you enjoyed the Maserati, you'll enjoy this too! Bonus points if you wrestle it round the classic version of the Nordschleife, before the foliage was trimmed back for safety (going Full Bush, as it were 😂)
"Full Bush Dick Seaman Special" has a nice ring to it.
Richard 'Dick' Seaman is among the the contenders for the title of racing driver with the funniest name
@@merobo5066 and racers with the most interesting life stories lmao
Yes he was super fast, engaged to a princess and taken tragically early. @@adamlewis4763
I'd love to see the Nords leaderboard back in action to compare all these recent runs to past attempts in the variety of whacky and amazing vehicles you've lapped. Like, was this faster than a scuffed stock Supra for example? That might be a bad example, but I'd love to see how it stacks up against other cars.
Rebel Tree has been a race fan for as long as they've been racing at Nurburgring. Good to see!
Hell yeah, more Green Hell hot laps in old stuff!
Only driving these pre-war racecars fast would be absolutely terrifying. Now think about racing side by side in a rain. Those guys were something else.
I do love the Nurburgring hot laps, I was sad when you said you weren't going to do them anymore, but I'm glad to see they're back in full force!
There is a club racing the 1950s car on period circuits in AC called Revival Racing League. Very nice people and good racing. I only did a couple races but its very difficult, especially if you use realisitc steering angles.
3:21 this is simply incredible and i love everything about it
These videos are what got me into the channel. I completely get that you can't just put these out all the time, youd run out of cars and lose love with it. But its nice to see it back every now and again.
I am HERE for more Jimmer Nurburgring videos. Been rewatching a bunch of old ones lately, so fun
That 28.4L fiat land speed record car that you see at the goodwood fos would be nice to see
The Beast of Turin 👌
That’s the one :)@@gian.4388
Terrifying car… 100 psi tires… 4 gears and more torque then god itself…
But that’s half the fun.
Tazio Nuvolari actually invented the four-wheel drift to get these types of cars around corners more effectively. He was so fast he completely blitzed the opposition
Would love to see you and GPLaps doing some old track/race collaborations
This is what the racing mission in Mafia felt like in 2002 & 2020
Was scrolling to find a comment that referenced Mafia, found it. 😀
Considering how tall and narrow these thing are- with huge heavy engines- sticky tires may just make them flip over.
In my opinion old 1930s to 1970s races are interesting to watch because of the car designs,sound, no rules,no safety regulations and wierd track designs is just entertaining
That, and the drivers ACTUALLY FUCKING RACED.
Like the mafia 1 race track.
@@pricelessppp I know it's an unpopular opinion but I loved that mission in both the original and definitive edition.
I subscribed to this channel back in like 2015 because of the group c races which I wanted to partake in lol
Oh, there were rules!
I'm in my fifties, and I do love racing older cars. I've even worked as a freelancer for the PS magazine mostly doing racing stuff. I've got about 100GB of mods for Assetto Corsa alone which contain loads of older tracks and cars galore.
These old bathtubs have become my absolute favourites to drive because they're so unwieldly and are such a challenge. But they're rewarding too, because once you learn how they behave and get it right, boy is it ever fun.
I remember playing Grand Prix Legends in 1998, driving the 1967 vintage F1 cars on the ring. So much sliding around. Jim Clark's lotus 49 weighed 500 kg and had over 400 horsepower.
Crazy to think that my late father was born in 1934, and as a child he went watching car races with very much cars like this in it. And then his last car that he drove/owned was a Volvo S80. Must have been absolutely mad to follow that progress over the years (obviously not just the cars).
So glad to see this serie return!!!
Love these earlier grand prix cars. Good to see you doing these earlier cars.
Been involved with these sorts of cars for the last 6 years now by repairing and helping them run. The guys that actually race them competitivly are something else too. One of the cars we help run and won at the last monaco classic. The driver said casually that he was going through the tunnel sliding/flat out at 140mph... mental.
*_Legend has it that this is what Jimmer does when he's taking a break...._*
lol. Jimmy going "yepyepyepyepeyp" reminded me of the muppet fish. "Uhuh uhuh uhuh yepyepyepyepyep...."
I must say it's nice to see a driver of Jimmies caliber to also bin it on the first corner and be annoyed with himself. Thought it was just me that gets frustrated with myself. 🙈
Yes Jimmy. I'd love to see more old racers, they are another beast
Love it Jimmer, hope you had a great Xmas, and all the best for '24 buddy. Quo
its 2024 and jimmer throws a motorized coffin around the nordschleife, i like it. good mix of "old" and new content
I have driven this shutle. Hats off to both, mod maker and jimmer. Awesom car, and just great run from jimmer. I just cannot handle this beast
Had the pleasure to see one of those last year. Absolutely bonkers, this car!
Stoked on the "three triple-A battery" reference, that clip is still hilarious to this day, cut
Please please please drive more of these vintage racers they don't get as much love as they should do, I'd love to see you do a lap of the ring in my personal fav the Ferrari 330 p4
3:56 assetto goggles, the VR sequel to corsa
You'd be lucky to have pavement under you in that era 😅
Its so fascinating going back and seeing what racers were working with and how they did it back then. Comparing it to today and understanding this is why they were the best of the best and so few and far between. Im an Indianapolis native and have been to IMS and the Indy 500 many many times and when youre there it really does feel like hallowed ground. It can be almost spooky at times. To just know this place has seen it all and taken its fair share with it. Very sobering feeling that gives you so much respect for the pioneers of racing
What a treat. Thank you Jimmer
These cars have on of the best sounding engines of all automotive history.
Fantastic driving Jimmer. Yeah, I wouldn’t want to do anything like those speeds in one of those. Heck I don’t think I’d do it in a modern car.
With all these posts, it looks like Jimmy is trying to make 2024 the year of 1mil subs. Go get ‘em mate! Love the content!
Have you tried Grand Prix Legends (1998)? Completing 1 lap in that sim was a cause for celebration. Also, much like RBR, it still has quite a dedicated user base. and has been updated and modded to work on modern PCs.
that photo of Rebel Tree in period was surreal af. like the fact that that tree’s seen ~100 years of motorsport and motoring in general and is now a meme made by this legendary ex-shed dweller. life is weird man
You have to admire the testicular fortitude of those bygone days drivers. Those guys were either BRAVE or NUTS
Hans Stuck won the 1934 GP in an Auto Union A with a 4,4 liter V16. His time was 4:38:19,200. His fastest lap was a 10:43,800.
Nuvolari, who drove this Maserati, came in 4th, 16 min 51 seconds later.
Is it Jimmer‘s talent, the newer road surface or just the lack of realism in sims, that made him go faster than the best drivers of that era? We‘ll never find out.
The only things you're missing Jimmer is a Top Hat, a Monocle and dope ass Smoking Jacket while you're driving this. 😂
Loved it! I am sure GPLaps was proud too 😄
God I love that meme clip in the beginning "that thang got triple a batteries shawt"
thanks for a BANGER! :) gave me a lot of laughs!
Litterally just found historic sims studios and jimmer makes a video about their new car. Right on time :D
Awesome video Jimmy! It was funny seeing the Nurburgring kick your ass! ;)
it's 2AM and i read the title as 19 year old race car and i was like "19 years ago isn't the 40's" LOL
It'd be interesting to see one of these old beasts upgraded and fitted with some modern features; like power steering/brakes, phatter tires, and disc brakes. Nothing super fancy, but quality of life and handling improvements.
You know, thinking about a car that doesn't seem like it wants to be driven with what is basically no breaks or mechanical grip. Then thinking about the fact that the drivers generally preferred to fly through the air at very high speeds, rather than being close to the car when something inevitably goes wrong (since the car made it quite clear it does not want to be driven) and it makes me think that these guys truly were completely insane.
Awesome. Would love to see more of the snow mod and more fast snow driving in general. Sweden in DR2 is great.
My great-great granddad used to race a very similar looking straight 8. Insanity is right, and yet I've still got photos of him going sideways on a dust track, with what I can only describe as wooden wheels with rubber bands round them 😂
Loving this series. The disco bgm is also a vibe
You should try some oldie tracks too, like pre-war Spa, 60s Nordchleife+Sudschleife, pre/post war Reims etc.
the crazy bastards who used to drive these are in the same category as bike racers!
once wrong move and your a corpse yet they push to the very edge every time.
cant help but give all of them massive respect
When you mentioned the GT40, I realized this car would be 30 years old at the time. Nowadays a 30 year old car would be a Peugeot 306 or a Golf Mk3.
Some 80's single seaters, ff2000, 1600, formula Opel lotus, cars that all the great 80's and 90's GP drivers learnt on..
this has got to be my biggest car dream to drive and race one of those, no downforce, no paddle shifters, no abs
Jimmy: "I wonder if Rebel Tree was alive in the 30's"?
Yep... Pepperidge Farms remembers. 😂
Love the vids man
Rudi Carriciola driving a Benz at the new Nordschliefe went out at dusk and slowly experimented with putting 2 wheels on the wall of the road and 2 wheels in the gutter at Karousel. He gained 10 mph and won. Everyone copied him and that's why it was filled in to use.
The tyres BTW were good for about 3 laps.
Excellent man.... love your content
3:20 wow baby apple tree
I love the fact that literally flying out of the car was ''safer'' than staying in it in a crash
While it is true that you only get a fraction of the experience...you're not going to die, you're not getting the G forces or the wind buffet...this still gave me goose bumps and I wasnt even driving!
Keep in mind that by 1936, the Mercedes W125 produced 640+ hp. On four bias-ply tires that would be small on modern motorcycles. With drum brakes. And sometimes in the rain. F1 cars wouldn’t surpass that much power until 1982.
Guys like Caracciola, Rosemeyer and Nuvolari basically were modern era gladiators (and only one of them pretty much concluded their career without being maimed or killed.)
Some other old more motor than chassis/tires cars would be fun to watch you try to tame. What about about early NASCAR? as in late 40s American? Ford Flathead V8?
Damn, Jimmy, fast lap that was. After 5 Laps I only managed to do a 9:50, spinning 3 times in the process.
This and the 3 wheeled one first appeared in Project Gotham 4 on the 360. You had to race a lap (possibly for kudos) in the Maserati, in the snow.
Honestly, we need a mod for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.... Would love to see jimmer test that 😂
Jimmer you need to get a mod of the 100+ year-old car....
the beast of Turin...
It only has an inline-four engine...
displacing 28.4 litres and produces 300 hp at just 1000 rpm
Jimmy Broadbent and lapping the Nurburgring… name a more iconic duo
You should definetley do more of these old school cars, maybe worth getting a larger rim like Jake has! Maybe a collab with him?
I reckon it looks like a battleship but behaves like a waterbed. Good effort!
That technical difficulties before the carousel... 🤣
I've been asking for years for you to lap a mk2 escort rally car around the Nordschleife... since you asked for suggestions Jimmy!
Watch Grand Prix: The Killer Years if you'd like to see what safety standards in motorsports used to be like... even into the 60s. It was the sight of a driver trapped upside-down in a burning vehicle while a friend stopped his car to try and help rescue him (I mean help the 2 marshals flailing around with a fire extinguisher they seemed to not know how to use) which changed public perceptions and helped drive the demand for safety changes in the sport.
Vintage Jimmer vibes 🥰
Love these videos!
love seeing my home town of cleveland in that beginning clip of the dude in the go kart car hahaahahah
Has Jimmer done laps on the full Monza layout on youtube? In Assetto Corsa, the oval is everything but smooth. Now imagine that in this bathub of death in the late 50's. Absolutely mental!
A friend owns a Bugatti 35 and did races like Klausenpass memorial. I was passenger twice and I can tell you that car is amazingly fast. Not only in a straight line but also in corners, when you are experienced in sliding it. Imagine the car was only around 600 kg. I would say it is almost as fast as a modern 150 PS hatch back. Of course braking is another story but not as bad as you would imagine.
Remember the Mercedes 190E license test around here in Gran Turismo 4? This time would have won a gold medal :)
doing wheel to wheel in these cars is actually so much fun
The sheer *sound* of that inline 8 is like nothing I've heard before. It's like a V8 but smoother? idk but either way I love it.
Watched, live, similar cars(Sprint & Indy type) on dirt and pavement ovals back in the fifties. One time a car hit the board wall and a tire/wheel come off and into the stands at us. My uncle and grandfather shoved us down in the bleachers and covered us with their bodies. Luckily no one was injured including the driver.
I just complete 7 clean and consistent lap in full course nurburgring using 290hp lancer with all assist off and I feel so happy. I bought my g29 3 days ago. First time playing sim racing ever. 😂 I hope someday I can be close on jim level.
The dig at AmR was gold
7:45 Confirmation that Jimmy is actually the Gnome
I’d love to see Jimmy do a lap in one of the pre war auto union race cars on the Nurburgring
He already did that. About 4 years ago.
He has driven the Type C already.
more classic race cars would be cool to see round this track. The kind of yeet and hope driving is very fun. these and classic Minis are my favorite to drive in sim, mostly for the sidewaysness.
That was super, I was on the edge of my seat peering up close into the screen totally absorbed.
I shall get into sim' racing soon, I have Assetto Corse on Steam, an LG gaming monitor and am building an ASRock Ryzen 7 PC at the moment. I "just" have to get a wheel/pedals but they are so expensive as I don't wanting something cheap and nasty only to have to replace it very quickly. Am also thinking about devising a rig myself, that will be workable but not take up too much space or cost a fortune. So much to organise and pay for...
I've long been fascinated by Harry Miller's front wheel drive Indy cars from the 20s. The cars were lower than the rear drive cars and could corner faster as a result. Given that Indianapolis has four very similar corners, 500 miles in one of those seems manageable. But wouldn't it be fun to put one of those supercharged beasts out on the 'Ring or climbing Mount Pleasant at Bathurst just to see what American insanity could do?
