========================================================

We're recording two very special editions of "The Real Podcasting Simulator" (link in signature below).

The first one we're recording is Friday the 26th of July @ 7pm Pacific and will be focused on the United States arm of competition, with the following guests:
  • Dr_Watson (PURE_DrWatson)
  • iamsupernasty (GTP_iamsupernast)
  • outlaw4rc



Then Saturday evening, British time, we'll be recording the UK version!
Guests:
  • BanditKarter22 (BanditKarter-22)
  • Spurgy777
  • Tidgney (GTP_Tidgney)

and possibly,
Aderrrm (GT_Adam)

BanditKarter gave me the idea of opening this thread up in advance of the recording in case any of you had specific questions for us, either show. We're going to be focusing on everything GTA and GTA related, from preparation, war stories, and how they ran the time trial, to what they all thought of the competition on a whole and the GT6 as a demo itself. We'll be talking up past Academies and how it's evolved, each guest host's relationship with GT and GTP (and how much real driving they've done and the history behind that) and generally just talking about the future. Should be a really interesting couple shows! Also a really cool way to compare the US crowd to our UK partners.

So, if you had anything that you think would be particularly interesting for us to talk about (doesn't necessarily have to be a question) go ahead and let me know and we'll definitely fit it into the discussion.

It would be cool to discuss the cutoff in different countries..
Like that it's not enough to be in the 2:16's to Quality for the Spanish Nationals..

And a comparison of Silverstone in GTA vs Silverstone IRL.. How good/bad is it modeled?
How's the feeling when driving in GTA compared to real life..

I didn't know England was in the Middle East, learn something new every day :lol:. Anyway I'm not taking part this year, I think I've said that in the GT Academy 2013 thread. Haven't done many laps on this TT but might attempt it again for the fun of it.
 
Hey guys, loved the podcast :) Just to clear up my situation, I never had a conviction. My charges were all dismissed this past november, my record is clean. I wasn't able to compete last year since my case was still open at the time.

Again, never convicted :P Clean record :P
 
haha, my editor wasn't in the building at the time, sorry I misrepresented that, doh!

But yeah, just happy your episode's over and everything's wide open for you again, you deserve as much!

Thanks for the kind words btw 👍
 
Oh yeah, btw Bill, I forgot to answer your question during the show about "will cameras show up at my house if I make it to Silverstone?"

The answer is yes, they do hometown interviews for all 16 Finalists to get a profile/background. They record you at home and at a few places you suggest like work or with friends, etc. They film in the month leading up to the big trip, different people at different times of course, there's only two crews going around the country doing it. But yeah, you'll see, if you make it of course :D
 
Ah roger that :) Thanks for clarifying. We kept going off on tangents so no suprise we missed some things lol. Hopefully I can get my race car and garage cleaned up in time. If I make it of course. :)
