I think James May said it beautifully in a top gear special: "You gotta remember that everything good in the world, especially everything good that ever came out of Britain came out of a shed."
Cournioni Same here. The only reason for not using him anymore is his link with the other two. Never mind, he’s done some pretty interesting stuff without them.
Riswan Ahmad P. I haven’t looked up how much a non-shed dwelling costs in the UK, but I bet he is close to affording one now that he’s done dumping money into his MX-5 😉
Kudos to you for having the balls to divulge that you live in a shed. People are always quick to judge even if they have next to no background information regarding what led up to this point.
Coming back go this after Jimmy has moved into a proper house makes me feel so happy for him. To go from an aspiring sim racing content creator living in a literal shed, to living in his own house, with a nice car, racing in actual series, and still simming with the best in the world including real drivers, makes me feel so proud that someone so kind, caring, respectful, and dedicated got what he deserved to have in life. So proud of you Jimmer!
For all the shed jokes it's easy to throw the first stone. His life isn't hurting anyone. Unless you have been born very fortunate and have had some luck in life things like this can happen to anyone. At one point I had racked up a ton of debt with school and cars and didn't want to walk away from the debt and pass the buck and wasn't going to ask my parents for help other than asking them if I could keep one car in their garage. So for 2 years I lived in a single wide trailer while working a salaried job and paid off every penny. Since that time almost 20 years ago I have gone times with plentiful money and times where things have been lean. Keep your head up jimmer. Just don't get complacent and keep pushing forward. You're doing better than a lot of people.
well you can actually work and have a small house twice the size of this and be independent...but you can not spend that mutch money on this rig...humm decisions decisions!
I've only recently discovered this guy's channel, but I've come to love him to bits. As a racing fan for more than 20 years, I love your immersion and love of the sport. A channel like yours dedicated to the purity and unbridled excitement of old school racing and especially the older circuits and cars wasn't even imaginable 10 years ago, so I'm just loving your content. Long may you continue.
@@santeritaimi6843 that’s got him damn near living poorly who tf spend all that money on stuff like that and you barley have a roof over your head kinda stupid
lol 😂 He’s most definitely not broke, he has over 600,000 subs. He been on top gear multiple times , and he gets countless tips on a daily, that’s not including all the free gear he receives from sponsors. Does he spend a lot of money yea I’m sure, but does that mean he’s broke? Absolutely not. If you get to do something you love everyday that alone makes you the riches person on earth. Just because some one lives in a shed does not mean he’s poor. You should really learn to start checking facts before you start judging people. An like I said anyone who has that many subs doesn’t have to pay for very much of his “Hobby” related equipment. Sponsers pay for 75% of it.
Wang: "this is where I live!" Me: "Haha. No, he means just where he does his gaming." *sees bed* Me: "Oh. Wow. He really does live in a shed... I think people have this misconception of popular UA-camrs and streamers being very well-off and what have you, but it's actually not the case (for the most part, anyway).

I've always enjoyed your videos, but now it's fortified with a lot of respect. Thank you for letting us into your life just a little bit. :)
SickofthisBullshit Vice Versa You don’t have to agree with my thoughts on it and that’s fine, but there’s absolutely no need for that hostility at all.
Looking back at this now, after you've become an actual racing champion, I gotta say I find this inspiring. Even though you had to have been absolutely miserable living like this, none of that comes through in video. Always chipper, always positive, and you kept your head down and kept going forward. I'd be interested in reading a blog about how you ended up there, and then how you crawled slowly out of it. You've been nothing less than inspirational. Keep it going, Jimmy.
Man I know how it is getting stuck back at the patents. I got cancer and am now stuck back at home for now, can't wait to get back on feet. Stay positive dude, things always work out. And I wasn't joking, I really do have cancer.
That moment when you realize there's a ton of videos out there where a youtuber posts "you have to have triple monitors to be quick" and then remember what monitor Jimmy uses while being twice as quick as any of those youtubers.
You are so humble. You are well loved, Jimmer. Your streams are down to earth and like watching a mate. Your shed is lovely, thank you for letting all your fans into your life.
A real talent. Outdraws cubic money with cubic talent. Looking forward to enjoying your journey that you can share. The only significant thing in life is where you will be, not where you are from. Here is wishing you continued success.
..... you really are a hero to me Jimmer... you are fighting for your dreams out of a shed... really makes me feel humility... I really wish the best of success for you mate... I really do.
Mike obviously will never afford his own place and he is upset.. The circle of life, my kids one day will get my house to sell and benefit from :) just like i will with my parents...
This is very rare A-spec racing shed. The shed is a funny meme, but mostly it shows you can make something really impressive out of limited resources and despite struggles. Lots of respect, Jimmo.
Yeah, he even says "imagine having a flat and then having to fit all of that stuff from a flat into a very small shed." So... What happened to the flat? Yeah, probably ex-wife...
Jimmie just started watching I am a 26 year old man who due to unfortunate circumstances is basically in my moms shed as well. Nice to see how far you’ve come!
Holy crap, just like many others (judging from the comments), I assumed you just have the rig in the shed, not that you actually live there :O Fingers crossed the situation improves for you soon enough!
@Independent Yeah and some people love rv's but let's be honest, nobody wants that or this to be their only choice. But he has a growing channel and he is clearly ok with it so of course its ok but not for eternity
Props to you Jimmy for being secure enough to expose part of your life to the public that could be easily criticized, and not giving a shit! Exemplifies true confidence!
Your shed looks cozy! I’ve always been a fan of tiny homes so it was actually kind of cool to see how you utilized your space. Thanks for the wonderful content!
Some of the best things in the world come out of a shed! Now jimmys channel can be added to this list. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching jimmys content, and his enthusiasm when commentating at GTsport world tour at the ring was infectious!
I always thought you lived in a flat, but after seeing this, oh man I wouldn't like to live in such a tiny place. Hope you move to a better (and bigger) place, great video as always.
You're an humble person you know? Not because you live in a shed, but because you have no problem on showing you live in it...and even with all that personal problems you mention, you still make that awesome videos with a smile in yo face! Congrats my bro and i hope that life changes for you, u deserve it 👍
When most youtuber compete to show off their hi-tec and clean set up..but here we are watching at humble jimmy showing his grateful shed with tremendous rig..bless you man for entertain us 🙏
Just saying, but after years without playing anything and suffering from depression your content hooked me up in sim racing and somehow resurrected my passion for cars and driving again. Thanks.
And so after about a year of watching through the *suggested videos* bar on the right, it was THIS video that earned you my subscription. At 28 i had to go live in my parents cellar for nearly a year, hard times come and go quicker than you think. 10 years later, I find myself living in France, i have a wife, 2 kids, a job, a house, and life is sweet. No need to keep the chin up ALL the time, but just keep plodding on, and do what you love, things work out for the best eventually.
Thank you for shedding some light on your racing environment. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there so to speak. It's amazing that your video content is such quality considering you live in a shed. Kudos to you Jimmy. Thank you so much for all the excellent videos. Keep em coming mate. Well done!
I've had the chance to test alot of high-end direct drive wheels that cost around 8000,- and trust me... You're missing out on nothing. Have a g29 myself. And my desk is sturdy and a hella less wobbly than 90% of those rigs.
Midiocre is not how I would describe you, incredibly entertaining and great fun along with being well able to push a car around a track. After many years of pouring stupid amounts of money into real life motorsport and after many years of feeling crap about no longer being able to afford it you have given me the inspiration to get a steering wheel back in my hands and at least have some fun in a virtual racing world. Immensely enjoyable videos fueled by a passion for motorsport that effortlessly flows out of you...thank you Jimmy you bloody legend
Who knew the best sim racing content on the planet comes out of a British lady’s garden shed? Btw we must have been separated at birth Jimmer because we organize the exact same way 🤯😂✌🏿👍🏿 #nopunterino
To see you make incredible videos out of a shed that you live in, and remain so positive about what you do is so inspiring. I've been in a low place recently so to see something like this really tells me I can achieve what I want to as long as i am passionate about it. Thank you, Sir, for your humility and humanity.
Been there too and did a similar thing for 2+ years (and I was older than you are now but I got through it and have my own place again). Sometimes difficult circumstances happens in life. All the best to you Jimmy and I can see you getting to a million subs. Love your channel and your positive vibe. Now I'm subbing!
This guy is going to become a part of sim racing history, I can see it now walking through the museum in 2045, and here we have the original sim frame seat that Jimmy started with, mounted in a replica back shed and an audio clip of his mum bringing him supper and knocking on the shed mid race 🙂
I'm sure you have a nice Mom who let's you stay in the shed but I sincerely hope that you can afford a bigger space for yourself. Love your vids. Keep going!
Lol I literally lived on the street and went through trash cans. I literally lived in 650k dollar homes and was fed high class meals. I traveled and did random garbage things. Lived with my dad in mid 20's, who knows, maybe it'll happen again! I carried my computer down the street to hide it somewhere safe because I didn't know where else to put it, one day. I earned money and spanged for money (panhandling). I've flown signs, and also sold business deals. While homeless, I also had like 3 jobs and side gig's, while ALSO selling stuff. I've literally had NO job and stayed in a home for years. WHO THE HELL CARES You can't tell me different, that shed looks pretty chill to me.....
Man you have my highest worship. You have a soul of samurai. I can see this kind stuff mostly in Japan. Give everything to your passion, even if it costs you a lot. I wish you a great luck and success in your stuff.
I'm in quite a struggle at this moment in my life. Soon i'll also live in my mums house for a while to get things sorted out. I hope i can get back to simracing one day. You, Jimmer, really inspiring me. Thank you man and all the best for you.
Jimmy, I love your videos, and your passion for everything racing comes through massively. It takes courage to show the man behind the curtain, so to speak, and if you live in a shed for now, then your the #1 simracing guru followed by 1/10th of a million people that lives in a shed... I don't ever see you bitching, and you have a positive attitude, so you just keep doing you. -Sean in the USA...
Such a legendary room. I remember when you made your playthrough of GT3 and GT4. They were epic, miss those times. You have inspired me to do the same. Really happy for your success Jimmy, keep it up!
Quote: '...mediocre...' There's nothing mediocre about being THE best sim racer and doubly nothing mediocre about also producing THE best videos on the subject. I've yet to find a single one of your presentations that wasn't absorbing, inspiring, educational, fun and, not least, so darn frustrating because I'm always forced to accept that I'll never get anywhere near your skills with the wheel and pedals, not to mention being able to describe every significant moment in detail whilst doing it. Many thanks for those videos and for the tour, Jimmy!
You helped me over a hard time the last months with your positive video content and i want to thank you! It sounds so trivial. but you show, me, that life can be good, even if things turn freakin' serious and everything seems upside down. Keep on the great work, you are a effin legend man!
How open can someone be. Wow! I can only say that I respect you Jimmy with this video. I never would have thought you came out of a tuff part of life. The day everything will fall in to place will come for you. You are a bright, friendly guy, and willing to work hard. Hope to see you in a F1/Formula Renault lobby one day at iRacing. Keep up the great work! 🤗🤗🤗
Everyone shut up about the shed. Most people with houses I know are miserable so lets not get carried away with your judgement. Also theres clearly a story there he's not willing to tell, so piss off and enjoy his content.
I love modern society’s mindset nowdays like for a single man to sleep in one small room on there family’s land instead of be living in a studio apartment and paying 1k a month or more just for that and most likely never own it because it would most likely be a rental ....this is what every one who doesn’t have a family capable of giving them a first home should do until they can afford to purchase a home there selves .... renting is a trap and unless you are lucky you never get ahead in today’s economy’s trapped into paying 25% more in rent for what a mortgage would be for a equivalent home .
bladezero25 it’s not a boomer thing. I have friends who bought a house and pay half of what other pay for a studio apartment. It’s all about credit. Plus if you can stay home for a year or two longer build up capital and then you have a lot more options. It shouldn’t be a boomer thing to make smart financial decisions
top bloke jimmer, i can remember way back when you only had about 6500 subscribers, you released a vid saying something happened in your life and you wasn't sure if you wanted to carry on. im glad you did, great videos mate, i wish you all the best
One more thing, thank you so much for what you do man. You have really energized me to SIM race. I now have iRacing team 'BENGAL RACING' for the Advanced MX-5 Cup.

I think James May said it beautifully in a top gear special: "You gotta remember that everything good in the world, especially everything good that ever came out of Britain came out of a shed."
James May has a valid point - as well as a hilarious laugh
Is the *Correct* answer ✔️
I just realised that my two favorite British UA-camrs both do amazing things in sheds
Colin Furze and Jimbo
The only member of that Top Gear/Grand Tour crew that I actually genuinely like. James May is a gentleman, and smart dude.
Cournioni Same here. The only reason for not using him anymore is his link with the other two. Never mind, he’s done some pretty interesting stuff without them.

Get yourself a portable air con unit, this heat isn't going anywhere.
Dangalf ... Pretty sure the heat will be gone in a month or two.

more like a day or two, we don't get >26C for prolonged periods, maximum 1 month, usually 2 weeks and then back to 20-26C until autumn.
Yeah seems like he could get a refrigerated AC window unit and it would be plenty. I didn't even see a fan in the room. Maybe Jimmy likes to sweat?

My racing wheel in my lounge is pathetic compared to this!

Can't say I'm jealous of your living situation, but you're doing something you love, which is probably more important.
If you came up with some merch I'd probably buy something. You can turn this channel into a buisness Jimmer

Here it is.

this channels already a business
@@thefinalpie Nothing on the both of them any more. Pity.
Midiocre is not how I would describe you, incredibly entertaining and great fun along with being well able to push a car around a track. After many years of pouring stupid amounts of money into real life motorsport and after many years of feeling crap about no longer being able to afford it you have given me the inspiration to get a steering wheel back in my hands and at least have some fun in a virtual racing world. Immensely enjoyable videos fueled by a passion for motorsport that effortlessly flows out of you...thank you Jimmy you bloody legend
Who knew the best sim racing content on the planet comes out of a British lady’s garden shed? Btw we must have been separated at birth Jimmer because we organize the exact same way 🤯😂✌🏿👍🏿 #nopunterino
British motor racing was pretty much born in a series of sheds.
It seems quite fitting
To see you make incredible videos out of a shed that you live in, and remain so positive about what you do is so inspiring. I've been in a low place recently so to see something like this really tells me I can achieve what I want to as long as i am passionate about it. Thank you, Sir, for your humility and humanity.

Ah, I See You're a Man of Culture As Well...
Been there too and did a similar thing for 2+ years (and I was older than you are now but I got through it and have my own place again). Sometimes difficult circumstances happens in life. All the best to you Jimmy and I can see you getting to a million subs. Love your channel and your positive vibe. Now I'm subbing!
You seem like a dedicated guy Jimmer keep up the good work
I just recently started following, but you seem like a very warm person for someone living in such conditions. Hope life treats you better one day.
Back here after Jimmer got the new house. Can’t wait for this to get recommended in the future.
This guy is going to become a part of sim racing history, I can see it now walking through the museum in 2045, and here we have the original sim frame seat that Jimmy started with, mounted in a replica back shed and an audio clip of his mum bringing him supper and knocking on the shed mid race 🙂
I'm sure you have a nice Mom who let's you stay in the shed but I sincerely hope that you can afford a bigger space for yourself. Love your vids. Keep going!
Unbelievable. Much respect for living in a tiny place like that, let alone sharing it with the world.
Amazing you 'made it' out of there!
Lol I literally lived on the street and went through trash cans. I literally lived in 650k dollar homes and was fed high class meals. I traveled and did random garbage things. Lived with my dad in mid 20's, who knows, maybe it'll happen again! I carried my computer down the street to hide it somewhere safe because I didn't know where else to put it, one day.
I earned money and spanged for money (panhandling).
I've flown signs, and also sold business deals.
While homeless, I also had like 3 jobs and side gig's, while ALSO selling stuff. I've literally had NO job and stayed in a home for years.
WHO THE HELL CARES
You can't tell me different, that shed looks pretty chill to me.....
Man you have my highest worship. You have a soul of samurai. I can see this kind stuff mostly in Japan. Give everything to your passion, even if it costs you a lot. I wish you a great luck and success in your stuff.
5:13 a poster on the wall held by electrical tape. Yes, boys and girls, this is what we call a "man cave"
I'm in quite a struggle at this moment in my life. Soon i'll also live in my mums house for a while to get things sorted out. I hope i can get back to simracing one day. You, Jimmer, really inspiring me. Thank you man and all the best for you.
What a yoke
Fernando Alonso what a joke
5 seconds is a yoke
Absolute yoke
Thought I was the only one Alonso pronounced joke like dat
Best chassis on the grid
Jimmy, I love your videos, and your passion for everything racing comes through massively. It takes courage to show the man behind the curtain, so to speak, and if you live in a shed for now, then your the #1 simracing guru followed by 1/10th of a million people that lives in a shed... I don't ever see you bitching, and you have a positive attitude, so you just keep doing you. -Sean in the USA...
That smile in the thumbnail..........
*It gave me nightmares*
Such a legendary room. I remember when you made your playthrough of GT3 and GT4. They were epic, miss those times. You have inspired me to do the same. Really happy for your success Jimmy, keep it up!
"Welcome back to real life... UUGH"
Proper man cave. Remember. Lots of successful people started in shed/garage. Good luck!
You’re the man Jimmy, respect from Texas
Surprised some triggered liberals haven’t commented yet!
Quote: '...mediocre...'
There's nothing mediocre about being THE best sim racer and doubly nothing mediocre about also producing THE best videos on the subject. I've yet to find a single one of your presentations that wasn't absorbing, inspiring, educational, fun and, not least, so darn frustrating because I'm always forced to accept that I'll never get anywhere near your skills with the wheel and pedals, not to mention being able to describe every significant moment in detail whilst doing it.
Many thanks for those videos and for the tour, Jimmy!
oooohhh i love that you've got a sneaky lil bottle of whisky next to the rig
You helped me over a hard time the last months with your positive video content and i want to thank you! It sounds so trivial. but you show, me, that life can be good, even if things turn freakin' serious and everything seems upside down. Keep on the great work, you are a effin legend man!
Hi Jimmer, I received my GNS shirt in the post yesterday, and I just wanted to say, great job on the design, it looks awesome
You are obviously talented at broadcasting, and, Built a huge following online. Kudos for allowing us a peek of the humble digs.

How open can someone be. Wow! I can only say that I respect you Jimmy with this video. I never would have thought you came out of a tuff part of life. The day everything will fall in to place will come for you. You are a bright, friendly guy, and willing to work hard. Hope to see you in a F1/Formula Renault lobby one day at iRacing. Keep up the great work! 🤗🤗🤗
lul I respect you more after this video
I’m happy for your success man, many people may not have the drive and motivation to do what you have. Cheers from the US
Everyone shut up about the shed. Most people with houses I know are miserable so lets not get carried away with your judgement. Also theres clearly a story there he's not willing to tell, so piss off and enjoy his content.
Well said. ✌️😎
I would agree aside from that fact literally all the comments ive seen are positive XD
Tbh, he has been fairly open about the storyline behind the shed @yeagemk
It really inspires people to see how u sort out life and get back on your foot to build ur channel to this level
I love modern society’s mindset nowdays like for a single man to sleep in one small room on there family’s land instead of be living in a studio apartment and paying 1k a month or more just for that and most likely never own it because it would most likely be a rental ....this is what every one who doesn’t have a family capable of giving them a first home should do until they can afford to purchase a home there selves .... renting is a trap and unless you are lucky you never get ahead in today’s economy’s trapped into paying 25% more in rent for what a mortgage would be for a equivalent home .
Okay Boomer...
bladezero25 it’s not a boomer thing. I have friends who bought a house and pay half of what other pay for a studio apartment. It’s all about credit. Plus if you can stay home for a year or two longer build up capital and then you have a lot more options. It shouldn’t be a boomer thing to make smart financial decisions
top bloke jimmer, i can remember way back when you only had about 6500 subscribers, you released a vid saying something happened in your life and you wasn't sure if you wanted to carry on. im glad you did, great videos mate, i wish you all the best
I always thought he was joking about sitting in a shed. Turns out its not.
30Nm of torque on the wheel? More than a Honda B16-EG2...
But I've got 185hp at 90,000,000rpm....
One more thing, thank you so much for what you do man. You have really energized me to SIM race. I now have iRacing team 'BENGAL RACING' for the Advanced MX-5 Cup.
People talk shit but I have a 3000 sf house and spend most of my time in an area as big as the shed.
Right?! Same here. Sit behind a computer 8-10 hours a day in a tiny cubicle.
I have a 1200 square foot house and I barely use half of it
It's so true!
My dad always said he’d rather have a tiny house and a corvette than a big house
