Good news. I've done some emailing and found out that the UK show is planned to be available on the Nismo TV Youtube channel in the New Year. đź‘Ť

So far, but I think there is more to come, hopefully some more interesting clips of the rest of usIs there just 1 additional video?

So who does USA compete against? its not Canada or Brazil so hmmm? purely on numbers their just as many if not more EU competitors who
are at a very high level because of the tough competition. The more winners the better i guess, they will probably end up with 3 winners in each
continent region.
Based on population it's a pretty fair break out between EU and US, you forget how big we are across the pond
here:

Wow!! đź‘Ť well that definately clears everything up hahahaha
The reason why Canada is not in is because of our stupid language laws, yes blame the province of quebec for that, and I'm from quebec and I'm French Canadian, kaliss de
tabarnac de québécois, excuser mon francais, (quebecois). I guess it's too complicated for French
people in quebec to learn English, I'm must be a genius.
Yah, but of course Germany is only 80M so your point stands there. Obviously
there is some reason Sony/Nissan decided to break them out. Marketing, legal, the CEO married
to an assertive German lady (nothing wrong with that, I'm married to an assertive Russian
lady)... who knows.

I understand what you mean about total population, but the number of
applicants to GT Academy doesn't match the ratio between the US
and European populations. Like almost a million for Europe and say, half a million for US actually entered GT:A
Just a shame that I don't live in the US or Germany, I feel I'd be
more likely to get to race camp. At least I can enter unlike some guys!
It's all about marketing really, obviously the majority of the worlds best are based in Europe, but Nissan don't really care about that.Yeah i know, but i guess if it was otherway around that say US had 40odd Million people trying, you would have to defeat 40odd Million before you even won or got to Race Camp.

Well you've got a good chance next year anyway, there isn't many competitive people left in the UK who haven't already got to race camp.But the qualifying times are slower and also the numbers getting to race camp are larger. 32 go to nationals and 12/16 go to race camp.
Either way I know i'm not going to win it, but I'd like a stab at race camp. Anyone who does win in their respective region deserves it!
