lets just appreciate that this guy went from living in a really small shed with a bed and a racing rig only to owning an r32 skyline, being in britcar driving a praga, and now bought a full on house. Proud of u mate
This guy was living in a small shed for a reason and it just so happens that the small shed he was living in was at the bottom of his mother's garden, the result of his failure pretty much became the roots of his success so you have to pat your self on the back because if it wasn't for folk like yourself then he wouldn't have this success
Jimmys story is literally the craziest thing to me. I'm envious in the most positive way possible. Proud af of this guy. He's one of the most important pieces in creating a route from sim to irl racing in the community. Buying a house from the success, amazing.
I remember watching Tom Syndicate filming in his bedroom at his dads house, and he had to keep the noise down at night so to not wake his dad up, then went onto building his own house i think before he was 20 years old, then went off all round the world visiting fellow youtubers, I love watching youtubers growing but still staying cool to watch aswell, but like Jim here
When I started watching Jimmy was a pretend racecar driver in a shed. Now he's an almost real racecar driver in a house. Name a better character arc, spoiler alert, you can't.
@@Ze-Germanzuk that is true, if you go to get roasted you are doing it to laugh about it, if you do it thinking that you will come out unscathed, you pretty much deserve it
For those saying “Don’t lie Jimmer we haven’t helped you at all, you’re just saying that like everyone else on CZcams” you’re wrong the support has massively helped him so much so he’s a real racing driver and doing cool stuff for F1 too. Jimmer you’ve come a long way from being homeless to the shed and now. Don’t stop mate honestly we love you.
Every creator that is successful is only successful because of all fans they brought in. Recognition for their work is how any creator, youtuber or otherwise, keeps the lights on and food on the table. They're not getting money as charity from Google. It's baffling how people don't understand it, he would be nowhere if we were not here. And we would be not here if his content wasn't good.
Nah mate can't fully agree with you there. Jimmy makes excellent content, and that is the reason so many people watch him and support him. My point is Jimmy had to put in work to gain this support, it's not like people suddenly decided to be kind and support him.
The thing I appreciate about Jimmy the most is how honest he is, about the emotional struggles he's gone through. It takes a lot of bravery to do that and it makes him feel very genuine. And because he's genuine and kind, he brings the same out in (most of) his fans. It really is a positive cycle. And it's so good to see how much this channel has not only uplifted him, but gotten him started in what is basically a dream career.
funny, everyone posting their rigs saying "its not much" whereas me and the boys are out here on crappy xbox controllers or even keyboard and mouse. im envious of every single person who has a rig lol. (except those two that had the super dirty desks, dirt on my desk is a big no no)
When I got a G29 my pace dropped by a second per lap in F1 games and by 15-60 seconds per stage in Dirt Rally 2.0, you're probably better off with the controller.
@@Mcquiz95 I don't even care if I'm slower on a wheel. Its so much more engaging and fun. Playing a game with a controller after playing it with a wheel feels so damn shit lol
Congrats Jimmy, on your upsized dream shed! Watching hours upon hours of you growing from a talented but struggling sim racer, to getting to race the big guys in F1 and iracing, to a full fledged endurance racer, is really inspiring and brings a joyful tear to my eye. Wishing you the best in your future endeavors! You're a damn hero!
The cool thing about this kind of video, it can give people ideas who want to be sim racers how to build their own DIY sim racing rig. You don't need to be rich to do so, just a basic wheel setup (even controller at start is good) and be creative on how you see yourself fitting in a rig. As far as its comfortable to you then its fine.
There aren't many CZcamsrs who (in my humble opinion) deserve their success as much as Jimmy. Not purely for the content but for what he's been through, how he kept his head up and for the humility he kept while becoming successful. Way to go, Jimmer!
As someone who was in a very similar situation to you for many years and also finally moving into a place of my own, I cannot think of anything that has felt as good as knowing I'm finally getting out when I never knew if it was possible just a few years ago. Part of it has been because of watching your channel, I was able to keep motivated (and it brought me into sim racing which made my own tiny box more tolerable), so you didn't just get yourself out of a shed, you helped a few others do the same as well.
I'm so excited for you. Great changes, still under 40 years old, changing and growing relationship with your Mom, and morphing into a real race driver. You have been blessed!
4:45 hey that's me! I use the blue strap you see in front of my pedals to keep the chair in place! Very good for the level of racing I do👌 By the way these photos are so wholesome! People don't shy away even when they don't have crazy setups. Be proud of yourselves and go racing! Also love ya Jimmy, congrats on the new house!
The cursed life of the sim racers. We will race anyway, in any conditions. And us all were inspired by a simple guy racing in his shed. What a journey. I’m waiting for 2nd episode.
I have an old book rack that my dad made back when he was in grade school wood shop during the 1940s under my desk. It's difficult to describe, but it raises my pedals up to a modern seating position or just my feet while I'm working. He was a racing fan and he could never have imagined the games, much less the computers, we have access to and never that his school project would get by me every day. I wedge my G27 pedals in the book rack with with an old circa 1994 $2500 Apple Powerbook. Best use for that lump I ever found. Believe it or not, all of this works and the pedals really don't move at all.
Connor Daly's rig is awesome. A G29, a kitchen chair, car battery to keep the pedals from moving, and the seat held in place by a mattress and duct tape.
I believe most of us came here for the sim racing content and stayed for the amazing genuine person you are. It brings me much joy to see you progress and achieve new goals and milestones, whatever the context! Truly grateful to witness the whole journey you’ve been through, and to many better things to come!
Omg the idea with the shoes is great! I always tried to use some door stoppers for my office chair, but they were to small and it often didn't work. Putting the chairs rollers into boots could be the budget solution!
Yo I remember watching a few of your videos a couple years back and you just came up on my recommended. And you’re not in the shed anymore! Great stuff pal.
Oh wow, I think you guys would've liked my rig! Wish I knew about this sooner. I took a 60 cm x 22 cm birch plywood piece and cut it to fit between my wheel and base. Used the 32 button box arduino and mountet switches/buttons/encoders on it, with 4 of them allocated to a "stereo" cut-out. Also made 2 x 52 mm holes and made a bracket for an old smartphone on the backside, so I have speedo and revs :) Stained it darker so it looks sexy. Also, I cut the legs down on a side table so my TH8A could be mounted in a more natural position, and extended the stick on it. I switched the knob into a more suitable one for truck driving.
I have a tip for everyone who likes rally, if you have a spare joystick, tape a long pipe to it and put it on the ground, you can use it as an E-brake, just plug in and set handbrake to a pull on the joystick. It works really good.

take the corner of the shed where the rig was so we can have the stickers and the memes and it would look like nothing changed. literally have two walls of the shed sit in the middle of the room to keep the illusion.
Hey Jimmy... I am quite sure that the "coffin rig" is a setup that a mate of mine put together here in Australia! Sadly he lost his battle with "george" (thats what he called his cancer) a little over a year ago. He was a bloke short in stature and he picked up the coffin from somewhere. I recall that it was a display model. He was always very happy to go racing in it.
its so cool to have watched you from playing in that hot box outside , when you had to call your brother to move the blind so you could see xD, now my mans got himself a house. AWESOME
10:13 "stealth" that position lets your arms and legs being above the heart level making you get less tired in long sessions. kind of the same way people put their legs up against the wall to relax them after long period of walking or something. is like the f1 cars cockpit where the driver is almost lied down
I have a wood rig and it started creaking since having a Fanatec Clubsport v2.5 and Clubsport V2 pedals installed for a while. It was driving me bonkers. I took apart all of the joints and put rubber tool drawer matting between all the joints and now it more quiet and sturdy than ever!
i remember back in 1999 my grandfather had a home made sim rig attached to an old seat out of a 1980 Ford Cortina had pedals and everything we'd use it to play mario kart 64, San francisco Rush and Beetle adventure racing on the ol n64 i thought it was so cool at the time
Sprite at 7:47 has to be the winner not just for the cat toy, but the video baby monitor in the background. There's someone trying to squeeze in 15 minute fixed Ferrari races between feedings. Keep it up.
My rig is a common keyboard that you can find at best buy (or equivalent retailers) And a common mouse from best buy (Again Available equivalent retailers)
3:27 My S.O and I we have one each. I don't see it as a deck chair, but if we're on that line, they're quite foldable as one, which is great when you have lack of space. After missing so much a proper place to set up my wheel, I really like these Playseats.
Came here to congratulate Jimmy on getting a house. Woo-fricking-hoo! But while I'm here, I will make a wee defence of the Playseat Challenge. It is SO much better than you would think before you actually try one.
I wish I still had some pics of the most blursed rig I've ever seen. So like 8 to 10 years back I was at a National Instruments event hosted by Sauber, and they had a rig in their public area that was built of an entry-level Thrustmaster wheel, a PS3, and the most recent official F1 game. And the whole thing was mounted to the front part of A GENUINE F1 CHASSIS! Like they cut it off like a foot behind the driver's head to safe space, but it was a 2 to 3 years old Sauber shell with front suspension, tyres, wings and everything. They even gave away some prices for the fastest laptimes during the event. So basically it was the most expensive playseat ever. Your rig might have a direct drive wheel, but does it have carbon-carbon brakes?
The coffin rig emulates the sensation of the F1 from 60s
But does it come with petrol tanks behind the seat for that authentic fire hazard on wheels? Lmao.

10:13 "stealth" that position lets your arms and legs being above the heart level making you get less tired in long sessions. kind of the same way people put their legs up against the wall to relax them after long period of walking or something. is like the f1 cars cockpit where the driver is almost lied down
8:50 ya boi still rocking the MX518 in 2021, I've got a lot of time for that
I love how Jimmy is more interested in the stuff that people own rather than their Sim rig.
Congratulations mate, just discovered your channel! love the racing videos! keep slapping
Jimmy my man, u are a living legend. From rock bottom to finally getting ur own house, you are an inspiration
I unironically love the casket rig. Thats just downright brilliance
Definitely do a part 2 of this, a nice little change, get the community involved
Genuinely just so happy for you Jimmy. You seem like a top person and deserve everything you have achieved
Oh man, my rig is the motherboard out of the wheel and a bunch of homemade contraptions soldered into it lol. But it works and I love it.
I have a wood rig and it started creaking since having a Fanatec Clubsport v2.5 and Clubsport V2 pedals installed for a while. It was driving me bonkers. I took apart all of the joints and put rubber tool drawer matting between all the joints and now it more quiet and sturdy than ever!
2:39 that's essentially the Dragula drag car, I'd rock that
i remember back in 1999 my grandfather had a home made sim rig attached to an old seat out of a 1980 Ford Cortina had pedals and everything we'd use it to play mario kart 64, San francisco Rush and Beetle adventure racing on the ol n64 i thought it was so cool at the time
I own two caskets... I now have an idea of what I can do with them... Thank you Jimmy, you are a real-life saver!
Sprite at 7:47 has to be the winner not just for the cat toy, but the video baby monitor in the background. There's someone trying to squeeze in 15 minute fixed Ferrari races between feedings. Keep it up.
So proud of you Jimmy boi!! Congrats on the new place!! 😃👌🏻
My rig is a common keyboard that you can find at best buy (or equivalent retailers) And a common mouse from best buy (Again Available equivalent retailers)
My life is going great and is moving in a positive direction. It's great to see you head in the same direction Jimmer!!!
3:27 My S.O and I we have one each. I don't see it as a deck chair, but if we're on that line, they're quite foldable as one, which is great when you have lack of space.
After missing so much a proper place to set up my wheel, I really like these Playseats.
Came here to congratulate Jimmy on getting a house. Woo-fricking-hoo! But while I'm here, I will make a wee defence of the Playseat Challenge. It is SO much better than you would think before you actually try one.
im not (only) here for the sim racing content , nor for the racing content. Im here for the Jimmy content
I wish I still had some pics of the most blursed rig I've ever seen. So like 8 to 10 years back I was at a National Instruments event hosted by Sauber, and they had a rig in their public area that was built of an entry-level Thrustmaster wheel, a PS3, and the most recent official F1 game. And the whole thing was mounted to the front part of A GENUINE F1 CHASSIS! Like they cut it off like a foot behind the driver's head to safe space, but it was a 2 to 3 years old Sauber shell with front suspension, tyres, wings and everything. They even gave away some prices for the fastest laptimes during the event.
So basically it was the most expensive playseat ever. Your rig might have a direct drive wheel, but does it have carbon-carbon brakes?
5:54 when you need to go flat out around a blind corner, you gotta be prepared
5:44 buckle up... this is one heck of a ride ahead of us.
