Jimmy Broadbent leaves the wheel behind for Asphalt Legends

A sponsored phone-racing outing puts the sim racer beside a podium he admits he couldn't reach.

Why this story? The video is running at 208,083 views a day, 22 times its usual pace (9,403).

I Still Suck At This Game Tho...

Jimmy Broadbent settles into a cardboard race car seat, but the driving that follows happens on a folding phone. For a creator whose uploads include testing a million-pound racing simulator, it is a considerable change of equipment.

"I Still Suck At This Game Tho..." is a sponsored promotional video filmed at Samsung KX in London. Broadbent plays Asphalt Legends Unite against a professional player, with the racing displayed on large overhead screens. His account of the result is straightforward: "And yes, that is me losing twice to the professional Asphalt Legends player..."

Posted earlier this month, the short video has picked up roughly 200,000 views in a day, taking it past 300,000 overall. That is a sharp acceleration from its previous daily pace, though the viewing jump alone does not establish what brought it about.

The contrast hasn't escaped the comments: viewers remark on seeing the familiar sim racer driving on a phone, while others pause at the idea of professional Asphalt players. Broadbent supplies his own assessment beside the podium: "Unfortunately though, it couldn't get me anywhere near the podium."
