Welcome to Ben Collins Gaming – my new sub-channel where I’ll be focusing on my journey into the incredible world of e-motorsports.

I’ve started with a bang for my first video, heading over to my friend ‪@MatArmstrongbmx‬'s house to check out his sim rigs. As you’d probably expect with Mat, he hasn’t done things by halves with his setup. We jump into an online race on Assetto Corsa Competizione, where I face a complete baptism of fire against Mat and some talented online racers.

I hope you enjoy this slightly different content. Remember, you can find my main channel here: ‪@BenCollinsDrives‬

    Mat is far more concerned about virtual car damage than real ones.
  • Imagine being these other players not knowing they are racing the stig 😂 that's the best
  • @Rinordine
    Ben Collins and Mat Armstrong collabs are always super fun videos. Both of you have given me so much entertainment recently, I'm so grateful for your work 🙏
  • Seeing Mat coach Ben on the simulator was not the outcome I was expecting 😆- Congrats on the new channel, Ben!
  • @Mapa356
    It almost feels wrong calling the stig a youtuber but your up there with the best. A joy to watch. Good luck with the channel
  • @EritoKaio
    Little did Jimmy Broadbent know, that when Ben said "I'll get you next time!" it will be in the sim once he's practiced enough. ;) Will be fun to see your progress!

    You're a big part of why I started sim racing all those years ago, Sir Stig... It's incredible to see you diving into sim driving!
  • @LHSlash
    One is the Stig, the other one a great grandchild of the first man on the moon. Amazing!
  • @jprince176
    That was great! Always up for watching some good racing. Good luck with the new channel 🏆
  • @nicolejune4282
    This is fantastic. Looking forward to what this channel has to offer in the future.

    This has made my day. A childhood hero plus the one of the sims I spend way too much time in. Your going to love it. The fact you jumped straight out, took one breath to straighten the motion wobbles, then instantly went hunting for Matts best time tells it all 😀
  • @Exeee.
    I will happily watch every step of your sim racing journey, so cool to see an OG irl racer hop in the sim
  • @bradw3912
    Ben "Its quite bumpy, especially with contact" Mat tells him AFTER "Your rig may be 100%" 😂
  • Enjoy your time gaming! 🕹️ very different to your usual videos but very natural! 🥳
  • @NotThatQuick
    Awesome work man! Sim Demon mentioned to me that you were jumping in the world of sim racing! Looking forward to the next video already!
  • @TheFibreman
    Great video Ben, instant like and subscribe from me. Quite a few sim racers are finding seats in real race cars as you know, but you going the other way with it is fascinating, with all your knowledge and insight from wrestling the real things. I look forward to following your journey!
