James Alan Broadbent (born 13 June 1991), also known by his nicknames Jimbo and Jimmer, is an English social media personality, commentator, and racing driver. He has over a million subscribers on his YouTube channel, with content related to sim racing and motor racing. Broadbent currently competes in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie for Black Falcon Team Fanatec, and also commentates for the Gran Turismo World Series esports tournament.
Broadbent's popularity has been partially attributed to his modest background, having lived in a shed in his mother's garden for a long period of time, and his honesty with personal struggles, both traits in stark contrast with the trend of internet celebrities portraying an artificial idyllic life.
