I love how much Jenson holds his Brawn livery dear
true, and I love it!
It's a stunning livery. So simple yet so stand-out.
WE ALL DO
Love it!
It's gorgeous, and tbh if I got a wdc with those colors I'd hold them really close to my heart as well

This cracked me up :)))

HAHAHAHAHA
i spilled my own drank when im seeing this comment wtf xDD
hahahahaha class
GT3 Racer: He's just a gamer
*James wins his first race*
Everyone: *wait thats illegal*
I mean it is an amazing story but he wasn't without experience -- he did do formula ford and also karted quite a bit. Not taking away anything from him, my point really is that people shouldn't go thinking that you can sim race and then go straight to racing wheel to wheel at a GT3 level.
Gamer makes it sound like he was eating cheetos yelling at people over call of duty hopped in a car then won
@@Garf2O exactly why i don't like the title of "world's fastest gamer". Sounds a bit weird.
@@thehuggingsimmy1765 they shouldve named it worlds fastest sim racer
@@morales6506 or worlds fastest online lobby player (cause he didnt cause a crash in the first turn)
If I remember right this guy hasn't completely jumped from nothing to GT3 - he grew up racing karts and was successful participating in formula ford. Its still very impresssive but you can't get a licence for GT3 without experience.
He still would’ve gotten the drive without experience, as the Worlds Fastest Gamer winning prize was a drive in GT3.
This was not his first race, he had to do a few other lower classed races to get his proper license.
You dont need a super license or anything crazy, GT3 is a gentlemen driver class, how do you explain all the rich old white guys that race
@@steveclaeysgoesracing you need a racing license, which I believe requires maybe a couple very low tier races, but thats about it.
@@solatyn it's British GT so I believe you'd need a National A licence which requires you to have a certain amount of races in lower levels.
For someone called Baldwin he has surprisingly a lot of hair.
I'll see myself out.
But he DID win so it‘s at least half true! 😁
Hairwin
Well it was a bold win. Get it?
..... for now ! Muhhahahahaha
I have already called security.
This “James” guys seems good, he should try esports.
Michael needs way more credit than he’s being given, James did well but Michael won the race
I feel like he's got credit, they're just focusing on James because of the fact he came from a video game; an odd way to enter a GT3 car would be the best way to put it lol
He’s getting credit. But, James, a guy many expected to not do well, won a race in his debut weekend.
James also would have qualified on poll if his lap hadn't been ruled out for track limits (it was very marginal). That's why he was saying he had the pace the leader at least.
PeRRXX he did well but Michael isn’t even mentioned in the title or description
Did you know it is a teamsport?
Proud to get my time trial setups from this man
"I've said this a million times, it doesn't jinx anything. Don't worry!" What a champion
And the next 10 seconds after "Safety car ist out his 1.5 second gap closed to a couple 10's" lol
The key words are "imagine if". that keeps you protected because you are simply exploring a hypothetical situation
Jenson Button's, Brawn livery, debut victory... sounds familiar 😁
Lol
james has impressive confidence. looking forward to follow this. well done in the second stint from obrien.
Super GT took his World's Fastest Gamer title lmao
well yea he drives a red bull
hold on he did? No he can't have I lap faster than him in Gran Turismo and Assetto Corsa on some circuits and I have just done sim racing for 6 months
Rolex Kebab he is Alex albon, that’s why he hasn’t been posting recently he’s in f1 rn
@@CasaiTX its crazy how he can just switch accents like that, too
I am not Sean Lock Albon races for Thailand but he has a British accent...
They're currently 4th of 20 in the British GT3 Drivers and Team standings, with one race left to go in the season. Well done lads!
He's probably got more racing hours in the sim than all the rest of the field IRL.
@@spacewombat4569 Nah. You adjust to that in a few laps. Ive driven a rented lambo around MIS's road course before. In 3 laps and I forgot all about the g-forces. Im no good driver, but theres no way someone with that amount of sim experience s going to be thrown off by some rather minor Gs.
@@spacewombat4569 Ive done sim racing lots and real track on a few occasions the g's aren't something you really notice
@@justadriver If you are not noticing any Gs you are pulling 1G. Not sure what the top G load in these cars are but say in somethin like formula 1, It be hard pressed to find a simmer who could withstand 5gs without training.
@@JediOfTheRepublic not saying the g's aren't there, just that after a while the real world sensations of racing of car don't stand out much when your focused on actually driving.
If not double aha
I was there and I was just very happy for him as I was a big fan of jenson in f1.
Way to go James and crew! Hell of a start, and you're doing the sim community proud! Keep it up boys!
Verstappen confirmed that drivers who are strong in sims are likely to be on the pace right away in real life as well. If not, quicker.
Exactly. All these goobers saying sims are nothing are ridiculous. People learn to fly planes via sim for example. It's the primary way to get your hours. Plenty of professional drivers at this point have said that the good sims out there now with proper sim equipment get you 85% of the way there.
@@TheRomanticsWB Its not the primary way people get flying hours. I'm a pilot, sims do not match up to real flying in any way. Nowhere near as well as racing sims line up! You cant log any time on a sim as a private pilot and commercial pilots use full on multi million pound sims that cost more per hour than an actual plane sometimes.
@@smokingspitfire1197 Yes you can. In the US you can do pretty much all your instrumentation hours in sim. I think it's funny you say that is not a thing. It may have recently changed but I know several commercial pilots that did it that way.
@@TheRomanticsWB Commercial pilots.. yes, on certified simulators that often cost multiple hundreds of thousands or even millions. Such as the AL42. You still need to do actual flying
@@smokingspitfire1197 I never said they didn't need actual flight time. I said they can log hours on simulators including X-plane. I've literally had conversations with them about it specifically. One of my friends that I grew up with logged hundreds of legal hours in flight sim, at his house, in the 90's for example.
That's nuts I tell you! Congrats boys! That was EPIC and right out of the Hollywood film script! Good luck with the rest of the season!
Congratulations James, Michael and the whole team for a fantastic win last weekend!
This is so cool !!! Brave step for the driver to race in real life and from the racing team as well to hire him and give him a first chance ! Bravo guys, fully diserved victory ✨
Asian Parents- *we would pretend we didn't saw that*
@@mercian9425 calm down dammit.
@@mercian9425 and do you really believe that he would understand what you said.
@@mercian9425 tbf, I think it was a joke about the way Asian mothers normally speak in TV shows and movies.
@@mercian9425 this is a racing video and you're trying to teach someone proper grammar, go figure.
@@mercian9425 thx man
That's a beautiful story and a nice film! Thank you for sharing!
When very well trained racing driver who has been driving since childhood got beaten by a bloody hell gamer.
The "gamer" is also multi-british karting champion, so...
Calling sim racing "gaming" is idiotic
@@hansdietrich83 It's still gaming at the end of the day. It's just on a different level of competitiveness and comitment
You remind me of those people who say that iRacing is not a video game when the literal first phrase in the site is "iRacing is the leading sim racing game for your PC"
When you took gaming way too serious
Pen gw kasi liat emak klo emak marah²😅
I'm always was good in racing games, and I'm 55 y.o. So, now I know I'll be good in real circuit no doubt! (Killing people with guns, swords and longbows, bank, ships robberys and raping women and animals will be successful though...)
@@killdyrin You'll Alt + F4 yourself in no time!
@@mrfuntastico4749 boleh tuh idenya
Yeah so I've been playing GTA and just killed my first actual hooker...
Happy for James, seems a genuinely nice bloke. I'll be at Donington next week cheering on James & Michael 🤘
I was there and it was fantastic to watch. Good luck for Donington
Nice to see Bob Neville and RJN doing well - and giving a little mention to GT Academy that was doing all this gamer-to-racer stuff with RJN *12 years ago!*
Stories like this gives us sim racers something to really go and aim for. Congratulations to Micheal, James and the rest of that team!
oh ya definitely, Jann Mardenbourough's career was also just like his but unlike this guy he had never touched a race track and his first ever race was the dubai 24hr.
This is bloody fantastic!! Well done! 👍👌
Awesome guys just so proud of the whole team!
Was great to be there. Great job James!
From a perfect stranger bravo and much respect
Could this be another Brawn GP fairytale?
"How the World’s Fastest Gamer took ‘Miracle’ debut victory in GT3" : Held his position from the start to win a place via the pit-stop, then watched his team mate make two overtakes from 3rd position for the win. Not slighting on James, but O'Brien is the unsung hero
Yeah but the difference is that this was expected of O’brien. For James people expected him to lose positions and fade back into the field. Sure he might have been able to do at least one overtake but his team was telling him to maintain position. He was able to get third on the pit stop by applying constant pressure to the car in front of him. O’brien was obviously very important in winning this race but he did exactly what he was expected to do while James far exceeded all expectations.
Well they did qualify 4th, how the hell did that happen???
Looking at how many talented drivers are limited because of financial reasons, sim racing can be a new path into motorsport if teams/manufacturers take it seriously.
Love Jenson, such an ambassador and all round good guy 👍 love the livery nod to Brawn.
so siick, good luck out there bro !!!
First 4 places all McLaren‘s. BOP seems balanced.
I think that BOP (for GT3) should be replaced with a measurement of the levels of torque and power of the engines, which determines minimum weight and fuel tank capacity (distinguishing between turbocharged, supercharged and NA engines (I'm sure that the FIA engineers would be able to come up with a fair system)), with turbo engines limited to 4 liters, supercharged engines limited to 5 liters and NA engines with unlimited displacement. I don't care if cars like the Bentley Continental and the BMW M6 are thrown out of competition.
For GTE, instead, just throw BOP out of the window completely: 4 liter engines with turbos, no restrictor plates and the same fuel tank capacity and minimum weight for every car.
That Brawn GP-like livery is really cool.
The race, SHITTING on autosport since January 2020. Keep it up bois. This is QUALITY content!
Mom: you wont get anywhere with games
Me: shows this video
Mom: wait, that’s illegal
Yeah where was this shit 18 years ago. I used to get in trouble all the time for being on the computer. And now ofc my family is like "i wish we knew more about using computers"
🤦♂️ are you f-...
@@swine13 a spot-on comment cant say nothing but agree
Since airplane pilots learn to fly on simulators, so in the last several decades, we know that learning on simulator is a better way to be an expert. You can practice way more overall, and you can practice way-way-way more on the edge of your limits. And practicing on the edge of your limits is the best way to learn something.
well sorta. Thats the easiest way to plateau. You want to leave a little room for not making errors so you can actually learn. You run at 85% get it up to 95% of max potential. And repeat.
If you shoot for 100% max potential all you learn is how to keep making the same mistakes. Grinding a skill is never optimal
@@Wylie288 Most of the idiots out there call this gaming :)
This is false, most airplane pilots learn to fly in real planes. Just recently is simulation becoming more prevalent in training but it is not the most common. There is a big push to make it more affordable and in since make flying more affordable but its a far ways away. No sim time will count towards your PPL and only a certain amount of hours will count towards your Instrument in the US. Also, Simulators do not actively help you understand the feeling of flying unless you spend thousands of dollars creating a full motion sim that has actual force feedback. Now, for airline pilots, all their training is done in the simulators because the Class D simulators are just like the real thing. You fly a 737 simulator at American Airlines, you are essentially flying the real thing. The first time an airline pilots flies the actual plane is when they have passengers for the first time. This is always with a season captain.
@@JediOfTheRepublic No, they do learn on simulators. Simulators are used in the air force since 1934, with great success (see: “Link Trainer”). Since then we know how beneficial it is to practice right on the edge of failure.
@@JediOfTheRepublic Dude...stop pretending 🤣🤦♂️
Good video dude.😃👍
How can you not love Jenson
Straight up documentary filmmaker. Well done m8
I was nervous at beginning actually felt the tension. Great mood created there in the first 30 sec
Awesome mate
One word... Inspirational
"BGTC, it's James"
Holy crap. I couldn't believe my ears when suddenly Icarus' music started playing. Thank you for this
This one was a bald win ;) Gratz for Baldwin & O'Brien and wishes of many more successes to come.
Amazing, good for them!
top 10 epic gamer moments
Spoke to James on Instagram a few times when i tried to make a name for myself in eSports, he is such a nice guy. Nice to see him doing so well.
*GAMERS, RISE UP*
Both did amazing 🤩
jensons button enters a team with brawn livery
awww shit. here we go again
More of this content and stories pleaseeeeeeeeee
Who makes the hoodies, looking for something similar.
nice one, gratz!
Everyone: *It's just a game*
Pilots and Racing drivers: Are you sure about that?
"Im restarting if I mess up that first corner"
You are racing with Matt Damon?!? ;)
It has the same colour livery as the old Brawn GP f1 team of 2009...and i just fucking noticed it!
I never knew and love that the teammates are actually working together for the same goal, unlike F1
Xavier Morla they’re sharing the car. So they have to work together
welcome to Endurance racing. F1 is different since it's not endurance race
@@shafwandito4724 Them not sharing a car and being in competition with each other is the main difference.
@@Daz555Daz yep. that's what endurance racing is all about
You clearly don't know how f1 works
Congratz!
Can't believe he no longer has a drive!
Just awesome!!!!
Keep rocking and motivate small youtubers like me
Dude straight up Jinxed it. "Trust me its not gonna jinx it". Couple mins later theres a safety car
Hit the road boys..!!!
How have his other races gone?
Legend
So awesome
I get the hype but theres no need to shadow the other racer. He went from 3rd to 1st and hes not getting much.
Can you even overtake one single driver noob?
Those colours must be winner colours ;)
@jaaames... what a lad
what game? the graphics are good
Oulton what a track
Yay he got a vid of James Baldwin aka jaaames
This is great
Aight gamers rise up!
Awesome 👏🏻 I’m not at all jealous 🤣
So So Good!
Amazing
Yeah, Igor Fraga has been a hit on the tracks for some time now. It’s no surprise that epilots become real winners on the real tracks. This will become more and more common
that car just seemed to be able to out-power the other cars on the straights
Well they did this brawn go style
Now I need to become the worlds fastest gamer 😂
Damn the RTX 3090 is DAMN good.
Jameees car settings : Aero 4/4 suspension 8/10 Spoiler 7/10
Learned everything he knows from McLaren Shadow
Michael looks like Matt Damon
Ben Daly taught him everything he knows!
LOL XD
No flashbacks irl
@@broracer2232 But lots of corner cutting!
Why would the title reveal its a victory..?
so racing sims have become so good they basically replicate real world results? that's madness.
Fastest Gran TUrismo gamer. This is not a sim.
he must have been thinking "its just like the simulations" when he won
He was mashing the x button to skip the ceremony
well done
A car with that livery and outside chance of winning the first race. Where has that happened before i wonder lol
Just think about how many more undiscovered sim-racing talents there are out in the world, who could turn over GT, open wheel and offroad racing!
I'd like to think I'd be a decent drifter IRL haha
yeah. this is a sport where money makes it hard to filter talent, but not anymore
