- I'm a big fan of EA WRC but i'm acutely aware (you guys are brutal) that not everyone is. So what happens when you turn the settings to their most realistic whilst driving one of the most insane cars in the game?

"No chance of driving in real life... GT3" - Man who believed he'd never drive professionally at all, presently GT4 driver for a living
give him two years and Jimmy is driving a full season in a GT3 car somewhere
'for a living' is the youtube channel I would think, the am seat likely does not come with a salary. But I agree that Jimmy absolutely has a shot at driving a gt3, but driving as a paid pro is another matter.
GT3 sucks anyways.
Jimmy is a GT4 guy saying he has no chance in hell at driving a GT3?
Give it a year or two, he'll be in that GT3 someday, just you watch.
Plus he had just driven a GT2 car too, plus he has driven a GT3 car as well hasn't he? Not in a proper race though
@@benclimo461 Plus he had driven a Praga what is as quick as a GT3
@@petouserthe Praga isn't anywhere near GT3, Praga is about 200hp and GTs are over 550hp in some cars
@@deadlyviper_ He talks about speed, not ponies. I dunno waafuc is Praga but less hp does not equal less performance. In the past it took 1400+ hp for Formula 1 car to reach 350 km/h milestone, now you can achieve it with less than 1000 hp despite being more than x1,5 heavy. Maybe with the exception of Alpin, because those idiots welded 11 kg ballast to their cars.
@@deadlyviper_ The R1T that he drove is between 330 and 380hp depending on the settings, and also weighs half what a GT3 does. They do basically identical lap times to GT3s on tracks without long straights, in which case GT3s have the top speed to be slightly faster thanks to their higher horsepower
I really dig that chonky 80s aero! Something about the "we know aerodynamics is important, we just don't quite know how it works yet" vibe really does it for me.
Honestly, that's still kind of the case. The Rally1 Yaris looks ridiculous.
They were just "winging it" 😂
They knew, it was a matter of regulations and what was physically possible to manufacture.
@@schmid1.079 Some of it might be they try to design the cars sturdier for rally as well. Super exquisite F1 aero would get completely destroyed the first time a car hit a bush.
It's not really that they didn't understand it, it's that you had to figure it out with either your head, or really primitive computer simulations.
Jimmer, you’re a GT4 driver already and you’re on a respected sponsored team who is getting real results. You absolutely have a chance getting to GT3. You’re not just a shed-boy anymore
hes a shed boy in the shed and a gt boy in the streets
You can take the man out of the shed but can't take the shed out of the man
The longest stage in the game is actually in Chile, the stage called Pulperia, at a whopping 34.8 km or nearly 22 miles. This stage is probably the close second (not including the reverse of Pulperia named "Bio Bio")
Though Pulperia/Bio Bio is probably the longest on the clock, as they are much slower, twistier stages.
In the official club for EA WRC last season we had to do Pulperia/Bio Bio twice with the slowest car class H1 FWD 😅
@@Galvloi117if i wanted to play a 24h race i wouldnt play wrc ea. PLS
@@Galvloi117 ayyyyy
@@Galvloi117 That's my favorite stage/class combo. I've run that stage a few times in time trial, my PB I think is somewhere around 28 minutes.
Yeah Jimmy did that stage with the rally1 toyota gr yaris but idk why he didn't do it with the group b cars
Sure, driving a group B rally car is out of reach for most of us.
But, if someone offered me the opportunity, I'd probably still decline, because I like to be alive.
I'd accept, and I'd cherish that moment for the rest of my life
@@smallbutdeadly931 yeah the full 10 minutes
@@ItzBrooksFTWIf they aren't using a hose to clean you off a tree you weren't going fast enough.
Bro if you lean too hard on an S4, you'll probably puncture it. 😅
This really told me that this game needs a Group B mod where the entire population of the area is standing on and around the road and goes running for their lives when your car comes rocketing by.
Let’s get some _real_ realism in this game!
Like in "the Art of Rally" then?
But with people instead of multicolored moving bars.
Hell even Gran Turismo 4 had this
@@toddthezondalover645My brother hated that in GT4.
Didn't realize it was an actual thing people did until he got older!
WRC10 had Group B classic mode which had exactly that. It was rad. Pity about the horrid framerate judders.

"Core memory unlocked"
@6:07 Jimmy: "I got no HUD on"
CZcams transcript: "I got no hard on"
"It's not about being competitive, it's about enjoying the experience ". Profound words and philosophy, don't you wish more sim racers understood this? So many racers have their experience ruined by an over-competitive racer who cannot accept that they just aren't good enough to run at the front, can't accept they have been passed, aren't placed where they 'deserve'.
IRL any given race is filled with drivers that don't expect to win, but they enjoy finding their limits but without ruining other drivers races. Vintage/historic races in particular are where it's all about experience, with a pinch of competitive spirit added to keep it from being processional. I wish more sim racers understood this and drive with respect for others...good one Jimmer, you are still a premier ambassador for the sim world!
As much as I wish I wasn't I'm hyper competitive despite being utterly dogshit at everything. People can't help it.
What if my experiential enjoyment comes from winning, am I not allowed to enjoy the game in my own way? If you're in racing for the experience, surely getting spun out is apart of that, and you can embrace it. But if I'm in the race to try and win, taking it easy and not going for broke is the antithesis of my enjoyment.
Now, that being said I only play offline, and I mostly enjoy time trialing Nurburgring, so I'm never going to be punting into the side of your car in a virtual race. But it's kind of curious how some forms of enjoyment are apparently more valid than others...
@@theKashConnoisseur Right, so the hell with anyone else's enjoyment racing with others online, all that matters is my goal and enjoyment. If I spin you out, well sucks to be you. Got it.
I wonder what the Sim Racing Steward's take is on this. What say, Jimmer?
@@Thuddster what, so you can enjoy driving for the experience but people who enjoy winning can't be competitive?
Also, like I said, I don't play online. You'll never see me in a race. I'm simply posing the question, why are competitive people not allowed to push hard for the win, if that's how they get enjoyment from the game? Rubbing is racing, it's been apart of the sport long before computers were invented. You can have your leisurely sim driving experience at the back of the pack just the same as at the front.
@@theKashConnoisseur Racing with respect for others on the track is key. One can be competitive while also respecting other's racing is where it's at. Chome-horn, bounce-passing, and pitting a fellow competitor in the name of 'being competitive' is not cool. Of course, close racing will have contact at times, but it has to be tempered with self-control too. Developing respect for other racers on track comes easier for some than for others. Race clean m8!
What timing! I just got into DR 2.0 in VR with callouts hidden from HUD.
The trees really do call out for you louder when your door pops off.
Props to the editor for the "radio sound" used in the cockpit, I really liked that!
Sometimes it is crazy to think jimmy goes from IRL race driver by day and sim racer CZcamsr by night

"we are going for 100% realism here" he says in his socks
No helmet either, completely unacceptable
no racing suit either, utterly despicable
Also no fan. unbelievable.
His house isn’t on a motion rig. How lame, he needs his walls and floors shaken!
I know right, what really let’s us simulate real driving at home is wearing shoes!
Jimmy's rallying videos are S-tier. We need MOAR!
I know this is a game but when that door comes off, I can't help but think of being impaled by a million twigs and branches as you crash sideways into the trees, with no door to protect you.
1:45 that's the sequential shifter my editor friend 💀
Love the external angles/replay edits in between! Really cool and great idea!
Glad I found your channel Jimmy. Helping me through a tough period in my life. Top job, great content.
I never comment on videos, but I feel like I must share my thoughts.
After not even touching my sim setup for a couple of months, this video inspired me grab my wheel from the corner and try this same challenge.
I'm typing this comment with sweaty armpits and an aching back after what has been the most fun session behind the virtual wheel since I can remember.
As in the video Jimmy said, sim racing is not all about being competitive and fast all the time, sometimes the best parts are the ones where you drive horribly and flip the car over it's roof 3 times in one stage :D
Thank you Jimmy for inspiring me to get back behind the sim wheel and enjoying rallying again.
Well said, EA WRC is actually great game and definitely does not deserve all this hate. In full motion rig with proper H-patter and sequential it is extremely immersive. Also the telemetry model is great, big step up from DR2.0, stages are very well made and feel live - driving it in motion rig feels amazing. For me personally it is well worth all the time I put into it as it is very fun, interesting and has lot of new content compared to all the other WRC games I usually drive - quite refreshing.
Jimmer: "I want maximum realism!"
Also Jimmer: **can't be arsed to put on shoes**
I love the evident joy in everything Jimmy does. It's infectious and I'm here for it!
in 1 year of racing you have gone from racing a slightly modified road car, to now already racing a gt4 and having won in it, in 2 years you will be in a gt3 no question
the trick to lumpy turbo cars is to keep on throttle a press the brake instead while still holding the accelerator,and then when youre pointing the right way let go and it bursts out of the corner, use brake sparingly to keep the turbo alive
Or use the antilag system that was invented for this car… which games never seem to acknowledge
@@garrisonr77 It is still fun to do that in 50's Formula 1 way. However, in F1 it wasn't turbos, it was superchargers.
@@zorkitipafed4626didn't 80s F1 have massive turbos
@@kokohanahana Yes, but turboera happened 20+ years past the said timeframe. It should be noted here that superchargers in general appeared more than half a century before Formula 1. In other words, back in the 19th century. One of the first superchargers installed on a Grand Prix race car was the Mercedes-Benz Kompressor, which was installed on Mercedes 6/40/65 PS cars from 1923. Turbochargers appeared about 20 years later, at the beginning of the 20th century, but the automotive world paid less attention to them. Since the 30s, some models were equipped with turbos, but the popularity of them has began closer to the 70s.
@@zorkitipafed4626 "turbos are for airplanes and diesels" - Car designers in the 50's, apparently.
I don't know how you put production quality into a sim video, but you did! Love it Jimmer! :) Love the authenticity in your vids
Ripping the doors off my Volvo C30 tomorrow morning so I can get that same open-air 5-cylinder experience.
One of the things i really like about you jimmer is that you are so grounded. Its really refreshing, as in many youtubers its sadly not the case. Theres an elitist crowd in sim racing too, that ive noticed anyway. But you dont seem to be like that, you come across as a lad who just loves to drive in sim, enjoys it and soaks up the experience and immersion of each sim. Fair play to you mate, you make sim racing feel more inviting to someone like myself, who is trying to get the money together for my first rig. You have inspired me and many others and long may it continue. Keep enjoying yourself brother. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Those alt camera view shots to change up the commentary are very very nice.
in groub b they used left foor brake and still stay on the throttle a bit to help with turbo lag
I think Rally Pacifico was meant to be Rally Indonesia, which FIA and WRC promoters has yet to confirm returning in the future. Those stages are based from old Rally Indonesia stages which was based in Sumatra
Correct. And the best car in the game is actually the Hillman Avenger, because it's the most fun!
'you know I'm a sweaty bastard anyway...' ROFL! I just re installed EA WRC because of your enthusiasm Jimmy! Cheers Robin
we love rally content jimmer, even when sometimes you forget to speak it really gives a sense of what rally is and was and how truly demanding it is, keep it coming
I do the same when doing my friends the game, I get to a techy spot and just shut up haha.
If you really love these cars and want to see them in real life I would recommend going to the eifel rallye festival or rally legend.
The eifel rallye festival is 20-30 minutes south of the nurburgring, so a known area for you. I’m going there for the last 6 years now and it is really cool.
Jimmy Broadbent, Subscribed because your videos are always awesome!
You can see how Jimmy gradually becomes better as the stage progresses. At the price of only single door. Fast learner indeed.
I've been having a lot of fun with this game Jimmy actually sold me on it when it first came out and he did a few stages. One superficial gripe I have with it is that the particle effects are really underwhelming. Even in dry conditions on a gravel stage the dust being lifted behind the car is comically small, given how actual rally cars kick up a 50 meter cloud of dust sometimes. It makes the replays looks like a toy car is going around
Having just watched Jimmy win a race in an M4 GT3 car on the Nurburgring and then watching him struggle to keep a Group B car on the road in EA WRC makes me feel a little bet better about my... 'inconsistent' performances in the Dirt games.
Being able to tell where you're supposed to go does help quite a bit in a race.
5:34 At first I thought I heard Nicky Grist calling you a very rude name, until I realised he was saying "cut" 🤣🤣🤣
The "around the tree" talking to your co-driver is such a good detail well done to your editor keep it up!
love the message that sim racing is for the love of it, too many folks are caught up in their rating or w/e - preach Jimmy! Grow the sport for the love of the sport.
I would not be surprised at all if over time Jimmy does indeed get to drive examples of GT3, F1 and Group B.
5:27 Loved the "radio" effect on your voice here!
even wrc8.. gave me so many fun moments while i took a break from just constant time pushing and gt3/4 racing. This is actualy a simracers "touch-grass" moment. You almost want to stop and smell the roses some times looking at that scenery...
The editing on this video, chef's kiss!
Love the use of the samir video, perfect timing
Great Vid now im goin to Give it a Go on my New DD+. Awesome Driving Great Footwork Cheers!!!
man i love your videos!
congrats on the win jimmer
I have a feeling that gt3 cars have a possibility of being a part of your future jimmy come on. Literally the most humble of humble youtubers I absolutely love it hahaha
I love racing on Dirt rally 2.0 to this day. Hop into my rig and slap a vr headset on and start slinging my 911 around those corners (with telepathic rear engine prediction correction) and after a tough stage I literally have to go walk around and get some water because my face is covered in sweat from working the wheel so fast
I was not expecting the "estoy cansado jefe". I craked 😂
When you said driving this car is like a dance, it reminded me of the famous "Climb dance" movie at Pikes Peak with Ari Vatanen
Jimmys ability to drive pretty much anything and everything at a pretty high level continues to amaze me
The editing is awesome in this video 😮
Sim racing to me is a way to keep me from doing dumb s*** behind the wheel of a car like I used to do when I was younger. Assetto and SRP have kept me out of jail brother. Thanks for the hard work Jimmy
A lot of the Quattros have been modified for handbrake usage nowadays.. Even Röhrls original S1 E2 has one now.
Love the driving socks!!!
Jimmy reminds me so much of Richard Hammond when I see him driving sim. Something about how much fun he's having \
The s1 quattro as described by Walter Rohrl "a car so fast that your brain cant keep up"
Nice job on the qualify this weekend. 2nd in class and 42nd overall.
500 horsepower is believed to be an understatement on how much power these cars really had.
1st: i love the "estoy cansafdo jefe" detalis, its means is a great meme all around the world
2nd: france
3rd: put the Quattro in the nordeshc.......nurburring
awsome drive jimmy
SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA
BELIEVE Jimmer, GT3 is just round the corner xx
I suck at most sim racing titles, especially rally games. I do have a wheel (a fancy G923 now) but rarely use it.
That said, I always love to have my titles reasonably realistic. Hopefully this video will inspire me for WRC. Thanks Jim.
"Through this stage that I've already forgotten the name of..." Let's be honest Jimmy, you never knew its name to begin with! It's not just getting to drive these awesome cars that simracing is good for though, I never got to see these cars in the wild and to not just get to watch you now but to do it from onboard is an amazing experience in itself.
Jimmy and a turbo box, it just feels right
I kinda love this game the sounds the feel from the cars even on controller is brilliant dirt rally 3
The Mythbusters cement truck explosion after he said add effects made me laugh.
I do admit, the Audi is one of my favourites too. and that turbo noise with all the wastegate chirps releasing that 21psi ish of boost when you come off it! just music.
In your next video, can you please drive a group b rwd car in the snow. Its tons of fun!
so I kinda wanna see you do the same in the 037. Because that would be MY favourite group B car. Also I distinctly remember you going on about how the Peugeot is your fav :D
Closest you could get to this is taking a ride with Stig Blomqvist through the rally stage at Goodwood
The reason behind the passion and admiration for certain cars and certain generations, is imperfections.
Imperfections give cars their character, and the character is what draws us to them.
Not even a week after your 24h 😂 you're brilliant, mate.
That no shoe foot cam came out of left field Haha!
Jimmer and group B, YES please
So much fun, I love doing this.
But I need a bloody shifter that can go between h pattern and sequential easier🙄
Taking on this in the white sports socks is peak Jimmy
The hand brake: Estoy cansado jefe. 😆
Jimmy: this a bit of it of a treat...
The very next corner: tree?
Post notis go crazy
HEY I'M SCROLLSNUMBERONE, THE DUDE IN 6TH ON THE LEADERBOARDS. Congrats on beating me jimmer!!!
nice audio edit for the in car cam :D
It kinda amazes me how well sim racing scales. You've made it all the way to GT4 IRL, ya know? Sometimes it's easy to mistakenly think you must be over sim racing. But you've always said, the great thing about sim racing is that it lets you do things you can't do IRL. And yeah, you're in GT4 (hopefully GT3 at some point, right?!) but you're right, you will never get a chance to drive a Group B car in anger (among many others) and that's true for everyone, even Max Verstappen, ya know?
It's just kinda cool how, no matter how far you get, there's always something fun to sim 😊
This car and 100% ffb on my r12 had me install a 230 cfm fan on my rig this week.
"What is Sim Racing to You ? to me, it is a way to get as close as possible to the cars I've no hoping hell in driving".
--> push the pedals with socks.
6:55 NPCs are standing there like an F1 game from 2010 lol
I like the meme edits, i was waiting for the Audi stint, this car scares me too much to run. Also BBQ Pit Boys no vey.
So agree with everything you say about sim racing, or driving games in general, or any game for that matter, and just enjoying them. There’s so much emphasis on fastest, or best, or biggest. What about the most fun?
That foot cam explains to me why my legs and ankles get tired after 30 minutes of playing a rally game.
"You're breaking the car, Sammi!!"
Lets be real Jimmy, you're already smashing around in a GT4, GT3 doesn't looks very far away from there. Hope to see you in one!
Ah, the S1 e2, I saw one quite up close today at a track day
Tip for cars with no handbrake (or of you like to make the stage harder): when you are on the entry of the hairpin turn HARD and use the brake like some sort of a turning system😁
Big turbos make time travel possible. Love these cars as feats of engineering.
I grew up watching group b,, so very lucky to have expirenced the demonic howl of a quattro s1 5 cylinder on full chat in the woods at night!!
OMG JIMMY IN WRC CONFIRMED!!!!
