It’s very disappointing to see Sim Racing represented so poorly again in a big event. It may be a “game”, but people make huge real world sacrifices & dedicate massive amounts of time preparing for these events and they deserve better. I fear many big names won’t commit again.
Sim Racing brings joy in unexpected ways.
This gentleman was diagnosed with rapidly progressing Parkinson’s Disease a few years ago and is unfortunately no longer able to drive a real car. But we were able to help his son hook him up with a rig he can use to experience driving
Can we take a moment to appreciate what an amazing job
@JimmyBroadbent
is doing. Regardless of if you’re a fan of his content or not, the guy came from absolutely nothing, created his own opportunities, jumped in the deep end and is killing it under massive pressure. Respect!
First win in the wet. Gonna remember this one for a long time.
Also a massive shoutout to Gav. Him and the
@praga_official
team put in an unreal amount of hours on the car this weekend to get it sorted for race 2. Hopefully the win was payback enough

As a severe anxiety sufferer myself, I can’t even begin to imagine the amount of pressure
@JimmyBroadbent
must feel representing the sim community like this.
Absolutely epic! We’re all massively proud of you, and would be regardless. Thanks for taking us along on this journey.
We can point fingers over this

thing for eternity, but none of it will change the fact that we've potentially just lost
@Max33Verstappen
, the current F1 World Champion as an ambassador for Sim Racing. That is a huge blow.
Now as an industry, how can we improve?
@grudyjsy
Long term, big corporate needs sim racing to be presented in the best possible light to sustain industry growth. Hopefully they see the bigger picture.

This
@LinusTech
situation is a stark reminder to content creators big and small on how important it is to maintain a healthy balance and prioritise health and relationships.
It’s certainly causing me to reevaluate how I measure success.
#linustechtips
Seeing a big increase lately in the number of emails I receive from sim racers desperate for help because manufactures apparently don’t respond to support emails.
Big and small companies are guilty.
Keeping customers is much harder than getting them. Do better!
#simracing
One of my favourite things to do in videos is randomly switch between saying “Fana-tec” and “Fa-na-tec” for absolutely no reason.
This ensures as many people as possible tell me I’m wrong in the comments.
Look out for it in the CS DD/DD+ video (coming very soon)….
Nothing screams entitlement and puts vendors off more than content creators trying to strong-arm them into sending out samples via public tweets.
They don’t care how many followers you have. They care what value you bring to them and the audience.
Of course
@MSportgames
wanted this to be a success. Unfortunately that’s not how things played out and I’m sure their stakeholders will be holding those responsible accountable. They have the necessary resources and there’s no reason they shouldn’t learn from this and do better.
The amount of abuse sim racing hardware reviewers have copped in the last few weeks is honestly disgusting.
I don’t feel dissimilar to
@randomcallsign
. I’ve averaged 3 hours a night sleep for the past 3 weeks trying to help people and get answers. We are all doing our best.
Seeing comments that I shouldn't cover hardware because Fanatec has problems, is another big reason why I want to leave simracing reviewing forever.
Simracing has some of the best information for hardware out there and the community wants to shoot itself in the foot.
Ok I’ll just say it, it’d be super cool to hit 300K by my birthday in 3 days time. 😂 🥳
Seriously though, thanks to everyone in the
#simracing
community who’s gotten us this far. It’s honestly mind blowing.
That’s 5 freaking football stadiums worth of people! 😳
@JimmyBroadbent
@YouTubeCreators
Manually blacklisting the words “prize”, “giveaway” and “claim” got rid of most of it for me. 100% agree this shouldn’t be necessary though.
Fanatec DD+ review in the works, but I thought I’d take a moment to address one very common question regarding the gap between the base and back of the wheel….
Let us know your other questions and we’ll do our best to cover everything in our content 🙂

@RGrosjean
There are arguments on both sides, but the point here is that once again sim racing has been made to look like a “clown show” as Max put it at an event that’s meant to showcase it.
Remember the olden days when you could buy a product and just use it without being hassled to subscribe and pay a monthly fee for full functionality? 😡
When I started Boosted Media,
@nextlvlracing
were the very first brand to support me. At the time I think I had about 8000 subs and not a single sim racing video on my channel.
Been great to see them still supporting small channels with the new HF8!
Heaps of good content!
I couldn't help but notice the similarities to Senna's fatal crash in the aftermath of Schumacher's crash on the weekend.
Plenty of innovation in F1 since, but they say Senna would have walked away too if not for being hit in the head by parts.
Schumacher was very lucky.

Hi everyone,
It's with a very heavy heart that I have to share with you some horrible news. One of Sim Racing stars, William Marsh from Sim Racing Paddock has Passed Away.
He will be greatly missed.
Disappointed to see another embargo broken, severely disadvantaging those who did the right thing. We have the audience and reach that it’s not a big deal for us, but it’s horrible for small channels who do amazing work and deserve the exposure. Take your responsibility seriously
This is sad news.
I was only just saying to Tom on Friday that these guys have been absolutely smashing it lately.
They should be very proud of what they were able to achieve. Hopefully it catapaults them all into bigger and better things. Certainly earned our respect.
Best advice I can give any content creator is “Your vibe attracts your tribe”.
Don’t try to be everything to everyone, but make the content you genuinely enjoy. Put yourself in the viewers shoes and ask what value your content is bringing. Entertainment value is equally valid.
Working our way though our reviews of the new
@AsetekSimSports
Invicta and Forte Bases and Wheel.
Content will begin dropping from the 17th of Feb so make sure you’re subbed!
This one takes second place, right after the guy who attacked me for “trying to subtle-flex pictures of my wife” because I had a picture of my then 3 year old daughter on the desk in the background of one of my videos. 😂
Reviewers should not use a disclosure statement to try and convince viewers they aren't biased. Nobody is completely unbiased.
Reviewers should disclose any potential source of bias so the viewer can make their own judgment. The content should then speak for itself.

Today we're checking out GRID by Simlab's new Officially Licensed Porsche 911 RSR Sim Racing Wheel.
This thing is absolutely off the charts in just about every way...

With

We’ve been testing them against the competition for a while now, so it's time for our impressions!

Announcing our first dedicated sim steering wheel, the CCW MkII Pro Sim!
This is our first step into the

This is shaping up to be a very interesting video! Full results on 4090 testing across all the major sim racing titles and MSFS on a bunch of high-end VR headsets coming soon!

If you've been looking for a F1 Style wheel with an integrated dash for your Fanatec base, this video is for you! But the story doesn't end there, the Leoxz XF1 is also compatible with just about every other sim racing wheel base on the market and at a much lower price than many
@Christopher_EEE
Interesting topic. I receive hundreds of messages and emails a month from people saying they discovered sim racing though my “hyper-realistic” videos. So I don’t think it hurts as long as expectations are managed appropriately. The best sim rig is the one you can afford.
Through our review videos and your support, we're lucky enough to have access to the latest and greatest in sim racing hardware which we use to constantly upgrade our crazy Triple 65in 4K Motion Sim Rig.
So strap in, and let's take it for a spin in the new

Just a little bit longer to wait now guys. Our video and written article on the Fanatec ClubSport DD & DD+ will be live at 8PM Sydney time this evening.
That's 9AM Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), three hours from the time of this post.
