get him on iracing and see how he does. nice and smooth by the looks of it. not major fast. but for an 8 year old its amazing! lets see some vids of him really going for it. would be good to see his control then. very well done young man!

@nairnmonster Hello,

il see about iracing, i dont want him just playing pc games and getting hooked on them at 10 as they are so good but i would also like to see him back on gpl same track same car, maybe we can make another vid and see what the difference is.

i think i mentioned before that 2 days after that lap he did a 3.24 in the lotus, which i still have on video but never uploaded it.

Thankyou for the comments

[jbradbury2]

thankyou for some great comments!! your right about the very nervous setups from greg, like you say...underbraking into blanchi and la source where the back is trying to overtake the front! :)

Thankyou :)

[jbradbury2]

i just uploaded a no music version

enjoy

My dear God, that's a little master alien.

I will never again say to a wrecker "dude are you 8?".

That would be an insult to your boy.

We'll all agree that gpl is the hardest sim to drive fast, so it's another big WOW for me to see him do what he does.

Great driving and great self discipline on the throttle for a guy his age :)

[jbradbury2]

thankyou very much for your comments :)

i know what you mean about the 8 year old on gpl online, i certainly wouldnt allow him to go online racing yet..he still thinks that its graham hill, jim clark bandini, jack brabham etc for real when racing with the ai lol

i never actually told him how to drive, he watched me and copied what i did.

very shortly after he did a 3.22 at spa in the lotus, i have that on film but havent uploaded it yet. hes not touched the sim since last year.

For god's sake, get that kid in a kart, NAO. You said below it's an expensive road to take... but it'd be worth it. This kid has TALENT, man. It took me ages to master GPL and I'm 15.

I don't know the future of F1 right now... it's a bit of a mess... but if it keeps going your boy could well be a magnificent driver. If not in F1, then definitely in LeMans, Super GT... anything :)

Props, wee man!

His face at the end was a picture.

I used to have the red momo and I used it on GPL

I now race iracing.

What do you play now and is Jacob still racing?

[monsterrocks]

reminds me of when iw as playing it but i started at 5 playing playing this and my car control was around the same it was the most realistic sim out and still is to me :)

[mariogasparotto]

@jbradbury2

i was going to say i will post a video of my times, but at the end of the day it doesnt matter how much quicker my times are. im 28 and have been driving for longer than his age. hes just a kid and driving like that. amazing. and i know what you mean about trying not to get him to into computers.... i dont remember what the sun looks like. lol
