Never devalue your "career" it is a career no questions asked.
You've defined your own life by doing what you love.
Your Grandad would be immeasurably proud of you.
Well said.
He's the best at what he does
curious wat game is dis?
@@inszow9569 1st game was Assetto Corsa, 2nd one was Gran Turismo 2
An F1 driver and a kickass grandpa. He's overtaking people in heaven, you're most definitely able to make him proud. Keep at it Jimmy.
Love that
I also lost my grandad yesterday, he was a massive F1 fan, I can totally relate and I send you my deepest condolences Jimmer.
So sad to hear this Tom hope your keeping well.🙏
Tom97 Sad to hear that, hope you’re feeling better now
“No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away” (Sir Terry Pratchett). You did both of your heros proud. Allow their ripples to continue influence your life and the life of people around you.
Wim Hendrix this and my comment should be top of comments section
Oh god i read it as ”nipples” at first and i was so disturbed
Dam that’s deep
I started watching Jimmy for the cool driving content. I've stayed because he's one of the most honest and wholesome people on CZcams. I don't care what the content is anymore; I won't miss a video because of this level of honsesty, openness, and wholesomeness.
Spot on Matt, same here - its and also the fact the community he's built is sound as hell, no toxicity at all, just a bunch of madlads who enjoy yeeting cars on and off track. All supportive, and all like having a chill as much as a nail biting enduro race or seeing Jimmer dominate his IRL Dutch racing experience or the smile when he collected his R32
You both are saying the truth
I 100% agree that's why I watch Jimmer
He went on youtube to blow off some steam and overcome his problems through his passion, not to be famous, and it shows. He always makes interesting content and does it with a very human touch. In my opinion, he incarnates the very core values of motorsport: just honesty, passion and camaraderie.
This 👍😎
Absolutely I agree this just Goes to show how important being wholesome and honest about your content is
I'm so terribly sorry it's okay to mourn for a while we'll be here when you return
F
Mr Guest dont you fucking dare
@@chris-kn8nx to pay respects
@@gsainoy It's pathetic to show respect using a meme.
@@gameguru1234 if its used on a video such as this video or a similar topic then yeah youre right
That Jimmy was one of the most powerful touching, moving, video presentations I have ever watched. You deserve every single gift of fortune and success in your life. A very very special tribute that touched my heart greatly. You're one great person Jimmy, all the best to the future.
true
Absolutely agree ❤️
Thanks for being you
He's very proud of you, Jimmy. You've achieved a lot in sim racing and life.
Howbout just life in general? 😀
The second half has tears welling in my eyes, I'm sorry for your loss Jimmy.
Soon as he finished the race and you could hear him choking up. I couldn't hold it back anymore
@@paulru7894 I'm sorry for your loss
I think I welled up as soon as I saw the thumbnail.
Same, soon as he staryed talking about how they used to race together and looked for the exact same car they used back then I couldn't hold back...
Don’t forget Jimmer you are never alone! We’re sending you all our wishes, we know how much of a great important person Grandad is and we will continue on this journey with you, as will Grandad ❤️
Heres to all the legends we have lost. Cheers, you will never be forgotten.
They arent gone forever, they are just a lap ahead. See you at the finish.
This... this sent chills down my back. Is it a quote from someone or did you come up with this yourself?
@@pixiemoortgat4209 just came up with it on my own.
That brought a tear to my eye man, and I mean that seriously.
@@Decebalus same here, I was emotional from the video and just seeing this made me lowkey tear up.
I’m not religious in any way, but I’d like to think that there’s some form of an afterlife.
I want to meet my Grandad, cos if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be who I am today.
Watched this and was in tears at the end. My condolences Jimmy. I just hope he was well enough to watch you race F1 drivers. He'd be well proud of you. Keep your spirits up. But go easy on that gin! There is a shit ton of us out here for you. Stay safe brother.
Snowrunner live stream with the mint convoy was hilarious. I was the twat spamming to raise your truck. You'll find it soon, then have a slap yourself in the forehead moment!
Again. Big love dude
I knew I'm not the only one crying watching this vid
You sure weren’t!
Those that we love are never really gone... they are just a lap ahead of us.
We are there for you Jimmy, and always will be.
Beautiful
Well said
Senna is a whole race ahead of us :,,,C
That’s beautiful
lovely said
i'd be lying if i said i didn't cry during the second half, stay strong Jimmy and take a break for a while, you earned it all,
Condolences
Heard the tone shift in his voice when he started talking baout the second part and my gut went "uh oh".
@@aabe4327 the thumbnail said it all to me tho
You've done him proud Jimmer. Look at the monumental impact you've had on all of us who follow, watch and share your journey forward. You've got an angel shining down on you now. Sorry for your loss all the best.
Jimmer, me and my fiancé are in tears. Your grandad sounds like a top bloke, we're sorry for your loss. Rip
Sorry for your loss Jimmy, best wishes to you, we’re here for you
May your granddad Rest In Peace. He created a huge gift in the Simracing community by encouraging you to race on gran turismo.
Who in there right mind would dislike a video like this it’s a man speeding from his heart and showing true emotions we should like that even more love you jimmer
People with no emotion
Tg 130 horrible people basically
You've already done him proud Jimmy, he'll forever be your co-driver. R.i.p
I'm sure you've already made him proud, Jimmer.
wow, i started crying almost straight away and burst out crying at the end. i am so sorry for your loss, if you need a break or anything please do take one, have a great day jimmy.
same. it's 3am and I'm crying like a baby about the death of a man I've never seen. I hope Jimmy gets through the pain quickly. Rest in peace :(
As a Brazilian I can say that Ayrton was most likely the biggest idol we've ever had. That is crazy to think about since our top one sport is football. F1 wasn't and isn't that famous in Brazil. But in rough times not only with our government but also with sports, the Brazilian people didn't have anything to be proud of. We've been eliminated from the World Cup recently and living in Brazil is rough just by being Brazil, right? So then Ayrton happened and it didn't matter if he was on F1 that wasn't famous or any other sport, we had someone out there fighting for us and carrying our flag wherever he went. My dad says that the day he died the streets were empty and quiet. It seemed that not only Senna was gone, but the whole population too. The fact that he created the Senna Institute to help poor kids get easier access to education is also a big reason why we loved him so much. He was praised. I had backpacks, shoes, shirts, shorts, all merch from Senna. He still lives in our hearts.
EDIT: Spelling.
Hey Jimmer. As someone who has trodden your path (lost my icon/Morfar/Grandfather/more father than my absent father in 2015) there's no consolation in anything that I can say. That missing part you feel now might always be there but its because of your shared experience with your Grandfather is the reason that part is missing - its the connection you and him had and have.
In Portuguese, there's a untranslated word, "Saudade"* The absence of something or missing something.
Good luck to you during these emotional next weeks. Stay strong and big love. The best part is you have a wonderful community to share your grief and experiences with.
* it autocorrected to sausage, which I almost left there
*sad "Portugal caralho" noises*
Your granddad sounds like an outstanding guy, Jimmy. I'm sure he was intensely proud of you.
I think everyone will have a tear in their eye after watching this video. Your Grandad sounds like a Legend!
He is. Shame I've never met him
Some people have tears on their cheeks
Hes done videos with his grandpa before, you should check them out. He's really as nice as jimmy says
You do him proud every day, Jimmer. You’re a “real” racing driver now. He’ll be with you every lap in the car.
He sounded like an amazing granddad, he will continue to live in the great memories you had with him
I love how you put your whole heart out there for everyone to see. You're a true inspiration.
Smoked Cheddar Gaming Yeah, Jimmy’s a real class act.
@Patrick White That is something that I greatly respect about him, and something that I hope that I can do myself
As a brazilian boomer (43 now) who was able to watch Senna on its heyday as well as that fateful May 1st, I thank you for this tribute. I cried a lot today thinking about Senna, all his achievements, the charity work he's done through his Foundation. And as a fan of racing simulations and follower of your work, I also feel for you and pray for you and your family. May the Lord grant you and your family the strength to go on with your lives and give your grandpa his deserved rest. Be at peace, Jimmy.
you said it all! cheers from another brazilian
I'm not crying, you are!!
Serious note, this is an incredibly touching tribute. And I feel (not knowing him) like this is what he would have wanted.
You have a whole basement fully of support here for you jimmer, but only when you're ready for it.
Much love, and condolences.
Jimmy, sending you so much love and condolences. Hang tough mate. We're all here fer ya Jimbo.
First half, smiling like a maniac watching you hoon round Monaco, by the end of the 2nd half Im an absolute mess - sorry for your loss and im damn certain your Grandad will continue to be proud of you.
I lost my dad a week ago and he was the one who made me love racing so much. He took me to 1991 Brazilian GP when I was 4 years old.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Keep doing what you love!
So sorry to hear it man. Much love to you and your family
My condolences Jimmy, may your grandfather's memory be a blessing.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s great that you had such of an amazing relationship with your grandpa. Your grandpa will always be with you and supporting you.
Just the sound makes this era intimidating.
Sorry for your loss, Jimmy.
When "something came up" with your Granddad during the Nürburgring 24h, I already had a bad feeling.
My Grandpa died two years ago. I try to keep his legacy alive by doing the valuable things he tought me.
So I guess you're well on your way, Jimmer. When the pain will be gone, the joy will remain. Trust me on this one.
Takes real courage to be so honest with one’s emotions. You were blessed with an awesome grandpa and he will live on through your passion. Race on lad!
I'm sorry for your loss Jimmy. Wherever he is, I'm sure he's proud of the wonderful man you've become. ❤️❤️❤️
My granddad shaped my life in a similar way. My career my hobbies and passions. Much love Jimmer 💜💜💜 Their never really gone they never fully leave us dude
sorry for your loss jimmer, stay strong ♥️
Condolences Jimmer, I'm sure your grandad couldn't imagine that he would introduce you to your lifelong passion and ultimately career.
We all have him to thank for giving us shedboi.
Seeing how much your Granddad influenced you is so wonderful Jimmy. You had something special and incredibly rare, something to be proud of and look back on with joy. Being 94 and still having the balls and eagerness to want to rip around in a twin turbo R32 is something I dream of and I'm sure most people would agree.
He is at peace now, and you DO make him proud, that much I do know.
Thinking of you buddy, stay strong. It will only get easier.
Just as jimmy have one, i think everybody had his own senna.
As we say here in the netherlands; sterkte jimmy.
Sorry for your loss Jimmy boy. He sounds like a really great person. May he rest in peace.
8:36 Immersed. That's the word I'd use to describe that feeling. Gran Turismo 4 was the game which drew me Into cars, and not a day has gone past since I first played when I haven't thought about it. Gran Turismo was a truly special series of games, nothing else has ever been quite as captivating to me.
Whenever playing any part of the game you can tell how much it was a labour of love, even down to the music chosen. I know the feeling those games give.
I believe it was Banksy that said this: "you die twice, once when your body dies and again when someone says your name for the last time."
Keep your grandfather in your memories and he may live on there.
GT5 was mine
@@e24hh89same
Sounds like he was a great man Jimmer. Once an icon, always an icon. Rest In Peace
"How do I turn up the bot difficulty" - Jimmy's grampa in forza online chat
These AI drivers are TOO DAMN SLOW!
I'm really sorry for your loss, Jimmer. Stay strong. ❤️❤️
Jimmy, I cried. Your Grandad was as much a legend as Senna.
Rest in peace to the most infectiously cheerful grandad i've ever seen on camera, by giving you his passion for racing, he indirectly has been responsible for many people discovering motorsport culture through your videos, his legacy will be ceirtanly big in all of us.
No one gonna talk bout how wholesome the motivational writings on the whiteboard are
He's had those there for years
was that the most important thing you got from this video?
Guy is probably new to the channel. Probably his first video. Not everyone knows the things.
Jimmer is wholesome af. He's a bright beacon on a dark day for many. ❤️
@@IndiBrony I don't give a shit if he's new to the channel. Literally anyone should've been able to see that was the least important aspect of the video
Wonderfully touching. If he could see you now Jimmer, for the career you've made for yourself, for getting your first drive at Praga, for sorting yourself with a home of your very own, I'm sure he would be beaming from ear to ear.
My Grandad passed away due to cancer in November 2004, just 3 months before I was born.
However, he still remains one of my greatest influences to this day.
While he wasn’t a gamer, he followed F1 all his life and had a great passion for all things motorsport.
He loved working on his Volvos, and named them all after ex-F1 drivers.
Clark was his favourite, a British Racing Green Volvo saloon.
In 2016, on my 11th birthday, I found a box in my Gran’s house. It was full of VHS Tapes and Cassettes.
All of the VHS tapes were of F1 races, and the cassettes were his own commentary over them.
Easy to say, I watched and listened to them. Those were the first ever F1 races I watched, with my Grandad’s enthusiastic commentary.
I was devastated to lose that box when we moved house a year later.
Of all the circuits, he always wanted to visit Spa-Francorchamps and dreamt of moving to the town of Spa, with plans to attend the race annually.
He was robbed of that dream.
So, When I visited Spa in September 2019, I brought a small picture of him and a small Saltire (🏴).
I dug a hole at the Blanchimont corner, wrapped his photo in the Saltire and buried him trackside.
In a way, he’s now achieved his dream, as he will attend every race at Spa from now on.
Small things like that have such great impacts on the people around you, and you yourself.
If I hadn’t discovered that box, I wouldn’t have anywhere near as much passion for motor racing today, if any.
That was a ramble and a half, but I don’t care. He made me who I am.
Rest in Peace, Hugh.
And thank you Papa.
That was a beautiful thing you did, I'm sure he is proud of the kind grandson he never met
I feared the worst when I saw the thumbnail :( My sincere condolences to you and your family Jimmy. It's never easy at the start, but gets easier. Time is a great healer. Chatto will be here for when you need us/are ready to return.
I was crying at the end for real. It’s good to talk to people about it than let it build up inside I think. My heart goes out to you mate. I’m really sorry that you lost your Grandpa. From what you’ve said he was a really cool man.
I remember being 5 1/2 years old playing with my toy F1 cars I was actually using a dark blue one that reminds me of Williams and I was making car noises lol when suddenly breaking news happened and my dad said Shhh Danny, I looked at the TV and it was an F1 driver who had died. I asked my father who’s that is he a good driver. My dad just said yeah mate that’s the best driver in F1 right now and he just died today. That’s a real shame.
I said oh that’s sad who is he. I don’t remember anything after that. Fast forward to 2004 when I was about 15 1/2 a Senna tribute was on for the Imola GP. It was then I remembered the driver who had sadly died all those years ago. It was Ayrton Senna. It took me 10 years before I knew who that driver was that day. I didn’t know how to do research and all that stuff back then. I now know a lot about his career and he was before my time as well.
Definitely a true great and legend of the sport for sure. I wish I could give you a hug right now mate, you have my support buddy. Very lovely video by the way, top class.
🏎🏎🏁🏁🏆🏆🙏🙏❤️ ❤️
I don’t know if you can see these emojis. But it’s 2 Cars/2 Checkered Flags/2 Trophies and Prayers and Hearts.
One each for Senna and Granddad.
Jimmy, we have a lot to thank your Grandpa for. Stay strong!
Mate I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm 49yo and ive got tears rolling down my face RIP Grandad
It's so weird. My gran was a mechanic and he also got me into motorsports. Actually the day Senna died I was watching the GP at my grans' home as every sunday. And today you pay tribute to your gran driving GT2 on the Rome stage, and I was born and live in Rome. Stay strong and God bless you Jimmer.
Jimmy I'm sorry for your loss, if you need to take a break to recover it's okay! In the end we'll always be here for you. Stay safe mate, virtual hug from Portugal!
your grandad is so proud of u jimmer
Condolences Jimmy. He surely is proud of his grand son, watching you over from wherever he is now. May he rest in peace
May your granddad rest in peace. He indirectly shaped what the sim racing community is. There are not many people into sim racing who don't know you. I'm sure this is the way he wants to be honoured.
❤
It was truly unfortunate that your Grandfather passed away. My condolences.
Jim you are one great guy. Sorry for your loss. Still remember the day I lost my grandfather. I know your pain and keep your head up.
This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen, the end of the video really hit hard.
Rest Easy Papa Broadbent
I got teary not gonna lie .I would love to hear some more honestly and SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS
Stay strong Jimmy. My grandfather and uncle passed in the past couple weeks due to coronavirus and I’m feeling the same way you are. Your videos help me get through the day. ❤️❤️
Condolences for you, friend. Jimmy's got me through some rough patches too.
Sorry about your loss my dude
I'm sorry for your loss! Wishing you peace.
Take care dude - all the best during this time ❤️
Stay strong bro. same problem here. ❤
Coming back to this video having just watched Jimmy take the double win in the Praga is pretty emotional.
Definitely did him proud.
I cried during this. I cried for Senna, already an emotional day for a brazillian motorsport fan, and I cried for your grandpa, and for you. Never undermine what your career is. It IS a career and the fact it is not a beaten path many can go through only makes more evident your determination and sheer fucking awesomeness. Like Ayrton said: "Whoever you are, in whatever situation you may be, do what you do with determination, with passion, and a lot of faith. You will get there." You are doing this Jimmy, and your grandpa helped you do it in many ways. You are his gift and his legacy to the world. I don't think there can ever be anything wich may make any man more proud than this, so be proud. We are with you, Jimmy, in the little ways we can.
I cried during the second half of this video. Jimmy, i just want to say that even though your granddad may not be with us in person, he is still with all of us in our hearts. Let's all make him proud by carrying on his legacy and continue to be the shed-dwelling professionals we aim to be.
Hugs, brother.
Sounds like he left this world proud of you, and that's one of the best blessings you can get.
I was watching the live when the news hit. Hearing the news isn’t good kills man. Hope your family is doing ok J man. Prayers and support my guy
Stay strong Jimmy, your granddad sounds like an amazing guy. I'm sure he is extremely proud of what you. May he rest in peace.
I'm so sorry for your loss Jimmy.
I can only imagine how proud he was of you, with all of your achievements within the sim racing world.
Please don't feel like you need to keep churning out content during this time, please take a break if you feel like you need one, we'll all still be here as and when you return, for more punterino's
Your grandad is an absolute hero, stay strong jimmer.
And the way he pumps the acceleration through corners to keep the turbo up and slingshotting out of corners he’s truly magisterial
I don’t think words can describe the admiration i (and many many others) have for you Jimmy. A man living in a shed sharing his passion for (sim)racing with a huge fanbase. Im sure a lot are sim/racing fans but im sure a lot of people are watching because of the person you are. So the close to 500k followers are no surprise!
There are plenty of sim channels on CZcams but none of them come close to yours.
So thank you Jimmy for sharing such a personal matter that we all can relate to. (I lost the last of my grand parents last Month)
You are s true inspiration.
Jimmy, there IS a gap now, but you must still go for it. Condolences to you and your family.
My dad told me I was literally sitting on the sofa next to him when Senna crashed, but I was 3 and didn't understand shit and neither can I remember that today of course. Earliest memories are 1995 maybe, if anything. Became a huge fan in 96 tho.
It happened a few days before my sixth birthday, so I do have memories of it - Just. I always spent Saturday at my Nan and Granddad's house. So when Roland passed away in Qualifying, my parents opted not to tell me. After all, I wouldn't have known who he was because he wasn't a front runner.
We'd usually eat lunch at 2pm, then watch the race. We'd record it on VHS. After finishing lunch, we'd sit down to watch. I remember seeing thr crash and feeling nervous because of all the ambulances. When the severity of the situation became clear, my dad took me outside as he could see I visibly upset.
We had a wall with blue bricks at the top in our garden. I sat down with my dad and began to crush red ants with my left hand. He put his arm around me and I asked him, a tear running down the side my left cheek, "will Senna be okay?"
And the rest, as they say, is history.
In 1994, I was a stupid 10-year old whose first reaction upon hearing the news was, 'Yes! It's like in the good old days again!' My brother told me to stop being an idiot. Took me an embarrassingly long time to realize he was right - and rather wise for a 12-year old.
your grandfather must have been the proudest and happiest bloke on the whole fucking planet for having a grandson like you and will love you for forever and a day. he shall never be forgotten and will live on in our harts. my condolences to you and your family
I am very sorry for your loss Jimmer, if you ever need to take a break we will all be behind you and supporting you every bit of the way. Always think that Grandad will be looking down at you with your good and bad times racing, he started the love of sim racing for you and me. ❤️❤️
I cried myself a little upon hearing this news. Clearly your granddad meant a great deal for you, probably more than any of our granddads, and it's a lovely tribute you put out for him. It's okay to feel down and take some time off if you need it, but I think it's very brave and sympathetic of you to share it with us. We're here for you as a huge family and will support you and each other in these tough times. Much love Jimmy, thank you for all your dedication and passion.
My condolences Jimmy
We all know what an big inspiration he had on you
May he rest in peace
And now, Murray Walker will be able to say again "Senna, Champion of the world!" in heaven. But, he will also be able to say "Jimmy Broadbent, Sim-Racing Champion!" while watching the race together with Jimmy's grand dad.
Your grandad would be so proud to see you in the Praga! He watching down every race every practice !
I'm very sorry for your loss, Jimmy. Here's wishing you a lot of strength in the coming time.
You've already done him proud - you always will. Keep going, its all we can do.
From what you said Jimmy, I have no doubt you have already made your Grandpa immensely proud, impossible not to tear up listening to you talking about him. He sounds like a truly awesome grandpa, and it inspires me to be a better Dad. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for you, and thank you for sharing.
From 5:05 when you pulled all audio except for the engine ... we are all united from that moment because it's the sound we all fell in love with. RIP to your granddad, Jimmy. A beautiful tribute.
6:00 I'm sure that apex would get a nod of approval. I loved hearing the stories about your granddad, he sounded like a fantastic man.
I feel that on a personal level Jimmer. I lost my grandad years ago, and he was one of my favorite people (he still is).
Take your time, we'll be here for you
Go Jimmer ❤️
Your Grandad sounded like an incredible man. You’re doing him proud by doing what you love. RIP to him and I wish you all the best and hope for the best
Your granddad sounds like an absolute legend. He'll be proud of you man, keep your head up and keep racing with him. All the best Jimmer
Beautiful words, Jimmy. I can only imagine how incredibly proud of you he must be.
Deepest sympathies Jimmy. Your Grandad was a legend.
Condolences man. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure the times he spent with you were some of his happiest too and often that's the highest achievement we can aim for.
Losing my grandad, who like yours was a massive influence on me. hit me so hard, it still does 3 years on, but keep him in your heart and in everything you do, they might not be here, but they are still here - sending all the love in the world.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Jimmy. My thoughts are with you and your family. You know we're all here for you.
