About Jardier

Sim-racing YouTuber/streamer (Le Mans Ultimate, ACC, iRacing); uploads 6–11 days old, hosts the Jardier Community League.

Jaroslav Honzík — Jardier — is the rare creator whose racing credentials need no disclaimer. Before the channel became a sim-racing institution, he was already competing at the sharp end of virtual motorsport: an iRacing World Championship driver in 2010 and 2012, the 2021 Alpine Esports champion, a three-time Apex Online Racing GT3 champion, and the ACR World Tour GT3 champion. With more than 150,000 subscribers, 2,500 videos, and nearly 50 million views, his @jardier channel is one of the scene’s most consistent destinations for Assetto Corsa Competizione, iRacing, rFactor 2, and Le Mans Ultimate content.

Then he did what every sim racer dreams of: he took it to real tarmac. Jardier has competed in the Renault Clio Cup Europe in 2024 and 2025 — genuine professional motorsport running parallel to the content career. The Jardier Community League, meanwhile, turns viewers into competitors, and partnerships with GT Omega, Coach Dave Delta, ASUS ROG, and Asetek keep the community equipped. His channel motto says it all: “Do what you love because nobody will do it for you.”

In an era of algorithm-chasing, Jardier’s career is a throwback argument for the long game: thousands of videos, two decades on the platform, a genuine esports résumé, and real-world race starts. He proved the sim-to-reality pipeline runs both ways — and along the way built one of racing’s most loyal communities, one Community League race at a time.

About this creator

Words by Julian Cole

Jardier is sim racing’s community builder: the Czech YouTuber and streamer whose Assetto Corsa Competizione, iRacing, and Le Mans Ultimate content made him one of the scene’s most trusted voices. With more than 150,000 subscribers, 2,500 videos, and nearly 50 million views, his channel is a masterclass in consistency. But Jardier — Jaroslav Honzík — isn’t just a creator: he’s a genuine racer, an iRacing World Championship driver and 2021 Alpine Esports champion who took his talent to real tarmac in the Renault Clio Cup. Sim to reality, and back again — nobody in the scene has lived both sides like he has.

Jaroslav Honzík, known online as Jardier, is a Czech sim racing content creator whose YouTube channel (@jardier, created in 2006) has become one of the sim racing community’s essential destinations. The numbers tell the story of a grinder: more than 150,000 subscribers, over 2,500 videos uploaded, and approaching 50 million total views as of 2026. His content spans Assetto Corsa Competizione — his signature title — plus iRacing, rFactor 2, Richard Burns Rally, and Le Mans Ultimate, delivered with the high-quality commentary and racecraft analysis that turned casual viewers into devoted fans. His motto, printed on the channel itself: “Do what you love because nobody will do it for you.”

What separates Jardier from the pack is that he can actually drive. Long before the channel took off, Honzík was competing at the sharp end of sim racing esports: an iRacing World Championship driver in 2010 and 2012, fourth in the rFactor 2 World’s Fastest Gamer competition in 2017, a Mercedes-AMG eSport finalist in RaceRoom the same year, a three-time Apex Online Racing GT3 champion (2018–2019), the ACR World Tour GT3 champion in 2021, and the 2021 Alpine Esports champion. He even earned an Alpine GT4 test at Magny-Cours — the dream crossover every sim racer fantasizes about.

The fantasy became reality. After years of virtual podiums, Jardier took his racing to actual tarmac, competing in the Renault Clio Cup Europe in 2024 and 2025 — real cars, real consequences, the same racecraft. Few creators in any genre can claim a genuine professional motorsport career running parallel to their content; Jardier’s real-world results give his commentary an authority that can’t be faked.

The channel’s beating heart is the Jardier Community League — regular community racing events that turn viewers into competitors. In a genre that can feel solitary, Jardier built a paddock: leagues, setups shared through his Coach Dave Delta partnership, and hardware guidance through partnerships with GT Omega, ASUS Republic of Gamers, and Asetek. He’s as much a facilitator as an entertainer — the guy making sure the next generation of sim racers has somewhere to race.

The wider sim racing media has taken notice: he was a featured guest on the Traxion.GG podcast to discuss the future of Assetto Corsa Competizione, and he’s widely cited as one of the prominent figures in the global sim racing community. His reputation is spotless — no controversies, no drama, just racing.

In an era of algorithm-chasing, Jardier’s career is a throwback argument for the long game: 2,500 videos, two decades on the platform, a real esports résumé, and real race wins. From virtual championships to the Clio Cup grid, Jaroslav Honzík proved the sim-to-reality pipeline runs both ways — and built one of racing’s most loyal communities along the way.
