[GTP_CargoRatt]

Thanks very much for taking the time to do this. Will be following this thread and practicing what you teach. Really looking forward to all the videos and learning from each one. Thanks again my friend, you are a god send to those of us looking to improve. Peace.

 

[Tidgney]

Honestly it's not a problem ! It may sound cheesy/corny but I do love helping people, and seeing improvements so am always happy to help! This series helps everybody improve including myself so it's a win/win for everybody !

Next video is going to be slightly late, I've been working on it since last night, and since I've gotten home from work tonight.... Alot to cover in cornering but want to keep it into 1 video! I'm hoping either Late tomorrow or Wednesday!

Apologies for delay!!

 

[Tidgney]

Hi Guys!!

Sorry for the complete delay with this video I have filmed it 4 times, uploaded it twice to youtube as you can imagine that takes alot of time my computer hasn't been switched of in days, and after a long day at work I'm straight back into this video!!

Anyhow this is on cornering, videos in the future won't be longer than 20 minutes but I tried to cram alot into this video so went slightly over! I will if anybody wants do a video specifically on any point during the video just let me know!!

Anyhow enjoy the video!!

Hey All,

3rd episode is below, I just show consistency in this and explain how consistency allows you to make tiny adjustments, as well as try new things to gain you that extra time you need to nail that all important lap and laps!! I also offer a challange to anybody at the end!!

Enjoy

Hey guys!!

Sorry for the delay it took me 6 attempts to get this right without to much coughing (Why isn't there a cure for a cold yet ), and actually editing it!! For some reason the quality decreased slightly on the picture in tiny bits but overall still the same overall HD Quality!! A little about the episode, it's about how who you choose to race can have an effect on how you improve as a driver, as well as how you understand where you are currently at pace wise!!!

Enjoy!

 

[Tidgney]

Hey Guys,

Next video is up, it's to do with psychology. It's an interesting video in that some people will hate it, some will like it, some will learn something, some won't it really all depends on your view, and how you think when racing. But on that enjoy the video and any comments, criticisms, questions or requests give me a shout!!

Cheers

Quick track guide for some upcoming racing this sunday!!

 

[Tidgney]

Hey Guys,

2 Quick videos, a little break from the Main series of 'The Road to GT Academy 2013' as it's the christmas break, rather packed and hectic!! Anyhow I've uploaded my fastest lap and also Ghosts (Who beat me by some margin, was really on form that sunday!). Enjoy the videos, have a really good christmas and a happy new year!!

My Fastest Lap:



GhostDrivers Fastest Lap:

 

[Tidgney]

Hey all,

Happy New Year!!

With the New Year some of may/may not know a knew GT Academy competition has opened up, not an academy but a challenge! Anyhow I did a few laps when I had the chance today (Family being over and all) and Ti-tech has put in a heck of a starter, but I've uploaded my fastest of the day. I initially did a few laps before eating just to get the feel then a tiny stint just to get an initial lap in!!

The Road to GT Academy video series will continue from the 7th!!

Enjoy the video =)

 

[Tidgney]

Hey All,

Yes another new video, I've been asked a lot for more races (I say alot about 15 messages) anyway I've uploaded the first one of the new year!!

An Epic battle between 2 UK National Finalists

I slightly overshot the first corner leading to a bit of a manic corner, but after that it's some pure driving!!

Enjoy!!

Awesome lap mate, thanks for uploading it! 👍 Are you going to do a tutorial of the GT Academy Challenge like you did for the regular GT Academy? I could certainly use some help on this one... The car behavior is quite tough to understand and anticipate, which combined with a track lacking good reference points, makes it tough to consistently put in good laps.

Cheers Man, keep an eye out .

 

[Tidgney]

Just holding back 1 more day before the Tutorial, as I want to try get footage of some of the unstable bits of the car to put in!

 

[Tidgney]

Hey All,

Sorry for the delay I've been waiting for a response from GT Academy about using a picture I haven't heard anything so I will publish the video but if they want me to take the picture off I will reupload without the picture. Anyway this is episode 7, it's on defending any questions ask away!!

Enjoy!!

 

[Mamba]

Nice video on defending, I often lear a lot of overtaking defending by watching Lewis Hamilton.

Your video also reminds me of this, you've probably already seen it

Cheers for all the work you put in.

​

 

[Tidgney]

You know what I've never seen that video lol!! It's a good video to be fair!! If we had wing mirrors everything could be applied perfectly, but you can do the dummy but you gotta think about the rear view a bit more ;p!

 

[Mamba]

Thats true, you can try the dummy if theres enough time and if who ever you're racing uses the one move defend rule, if not they'll just keep moving to block you.

I;ve used the cut back a lot though its a good move for defending.
I also move toward the middle of the track like Im going to defend the dive but then just stay in the middle, sometimes it confuses the overtaker cause his not sure if im moving to the inside or staying on the racing line, that slight confusion causes hesitation and by then its too late to make the move, It happen to Kimi in Bahrain when he was going to overtake Vettel

Excellent man, looking forward to it! Haven't had much time to put into this lately but this weekend I'm looking at coming back to it. 👍

 

[Tidgney]

Will be out tonight/early morning Killmore, apologies for the delay with that video it's been rather chaotic at work this week!!

I did record this quickly which is what the tutorial will be based on so enjoy this for now!! !

It's been the same for me at work, so thanks a lot for finding the time to do this - much appreciated! 👍

 

[Tidgney]

Not a problem, I'm trying to upload it currently, It's my 3rd attempt the other 2 failed (I'm having some connection issues of late with this snowy weather!) So hopefully this one works, the Road 2 GT Academy will then follow straight after!

 

[Kilmore]

Excellent man, looking forward to it! Good luck with the upload 👍

 

[Tidgney]

Well it's here... Finally lol!! 6th Attempt I got it on! Was going to be my last attempt from home to as I figured I may try after work! But all is good, it's a little shorter than the official tutorial guide but that's because of less references (Which is also a reason for why the times are far more varied) and I want to move to a more quicker, focused approach so I can get some track guides out !

Comments/Criticisms always welcome !

Enjoy;




Now to try upload the Road 2 GT academy !
