Apologies for no videos today I've come home to check that the videos are all working (I watch them all the way through) and they seem to have broken today? The first one stops 4 minutes before the end and can't change it, so it means more videos tomorrow, hopefully with a more successful upload!
 
Ahh I totally know what you mean, I hate stupid technical errors that make no sense, but just happen anyway.

I know, I hate random youtube glitches, I mean I love watching my videos through several times, usually pre-compression, post-compression, uploaded and I hate it when it fails the final part :(! Non the less, I will not be defeated by the youtube to get GT Content out there :D!

Evening all!!

Got a fair few videos for you today, I have of course the race commentary currently happening with OPC vs RoninGT, and what a cracking race that turns out to be!! I also continue my playthrough Gran Turismo 5! Now... I've been doing a little maths, and I won't get them all out before the GT6 demo, but I still want to keep producing 1 a day along with any other video I do! I think they are useful, especially for adapting your thinking if your struggling and just seeing how I work something out!!

Enjoy!!

Evening All!

So today we have the Seasonal Event, My best lap currently I've only had a few goes (2 25/30 lap stints). I'll certainly continue to try and improve with GT Academy coming up! But this lap put me 31st at the time I think, around that area at least, and can definitely see improvements available! But do enjoy the video my first and second sector are a bit different to the leaders!

I've also continued my playthrough of Gran Turismo 5 and we are tonight looking at licence B4!! B4, B5 and B6 all interlink very well so to me are a very good watch, B5 & 6 will come out in the following days!

Enjoy!

Hey Guys,

Apologies for the delay today, I'm still training hard for the 3 peaks challenge (UK challenge). Just a little trip up 3 hills in under 24 hours! That's happening next weekend, so warning in advance that friday and saturday next week will be slightly less busy video wise! Non the less I have a playthrough and licence for you today, and some more seasonal related videos coming tomorrow! So if you want to have an interesting look in how 2 FWD cars different even though they are the sports model watching B4 and B5 could be very interesting!

Enjoy!

Haha :)! well it's just pushing the content out, licences and playthroughs are really good videos for rewatching in the future if anyones stuck, so trying to get those out with a main video! But it's hard to get a main video out with the playthroughs when training as well :P! You should see the sticky notes I make every Sunday, try and plan prep when stuff is coming out :P!
 
Evening guys, Or morning to some of you!

So todays videos (Fridays) are up, the usual continuation of the playthrough this time licence B6, similar to B4 and B5 it really does look at the differences between the same style of car, but same corner and how thinking through past experiences, and how we can learn from current ones gives us a good outcome!

Also there's a track guide of london for those of you interested in learning a bit more about London!

Enjoy!

P.s. Apologies for the licence cameras you can't change them until that point as they are locked!

Evening All (Or night for most people),

Anyhow I've been training today so it's just 2 videos today! A Playthrough video with the fastest time with it! It's of B7 and what we are doing with this licence is using the previous 3 licences all in FWD cars and mastering 1 corner, and applying it to this FWD and mastering a number of corners!

Any questions give me a shout, otherwise Enjoy!

Evening All,

The continuation of the playthrough, with Licence B8! It's a RWD car now so have to adapt to the new situation compared to the previous FWD cars! This licence I think has also been in every GT game in some form or another, I know it was in 1 for sure as I remember the FTO quite clearly :D!

Enjoy!

Evening All!

Tonight I bring you the 4th installment of the mini championship between OPC (Official Playstation Community) and RoninGT. We're at Trail Mountain this week and once again we are in the Griffith 500! See if anyone catches Dave in the championship or whether OPC come back with an absolute bang!

Enjoy!

Evening All!

The continuation of the playthrough tonight! We look at B9! Now usually people will just fly through these overtaking challenges but you can actually improve your driving skill on these as well! Even when it's just a straight! It helps you identify what exactly is the best line for slipstreaming and how to think about!

Enjoy!

Evening all!

I hope your all enjoying GT Academy 2013! I've been waiting up just to get this uploaded for you! (I'm up in 5 hours and a bit :P). But this is my best lap of the day in the qualifier, initially got me rank 1 UK but now down to 3rd, of course I'll keep fighting for that spot!

Anyhow if your looking to see what my lap looks like (A little scrappy) enjoy!

Good luck on the academy 👍 hope this will be the year you go to Silverstone.

On a second note, I quite like GT6, it really feels more like your actually on the track given the track feels wider, maybe its just Silverstone but it really feels good. And more things are closer to real life in the dynamics of the car. I watched Lewis' lap and that section where practice one is you can see him getting some oversteer moments so its nice to see that in GT6 you also get that it shows a bit more realism. I hope they come out with a full demo of gt6 to fill the gap between now and December, I don't know if I can go back to GT5 now, everything will feel so weird.
 
Cheers Manu!

Ye the track is great, I think the only thing I can see different is that it just needs to be a bit bumpier, it's very smooth and I know a few bumps should be there that aren't!

Evening everyone!

Today only 2 of the videos have uploaded (My internet is going slowly at the moment? maybe the internet company or the wires have burnt up with the vast amount of videos :)!). Anyway it's practice 4 and practice 5.. Essentially 5 is the Qualifier! So you can see my first visit to it and how I explored the lap and tried to pull a decent lap!!

Enjoy!

Evening All!

I'm rather tired tonight, so hope you guys are feeling a tad better than I do! Non the less 2 videos for you! This time we are finishing up the GT6 Demo and what we can access with the 15th anniversary! I've a funny feeling this one could get competitive for those who like the GTR!! Thoughts and commentary throughout!

Hey tidgney, I want to thank you for your work with the vids about the GT academy, not only for this year, but for the 2 last years too. Since GT5 came out, I'm a daily user of the GTPlanet, but only recently I register, ence the very late thanks!!!

They really help me a lot, before I quit trying for personal reasons. Now I'm at 23rd place in regional Portugal standings, with a DS3.

Hey :),

It's certainly not a problem, I love the fact this videos are helping so much, and hearing some of the improvements you guys are having is crazy :D! You'll be getting quicker and quicker before you know it, your name will be creeping even further up that portuguese leaderboard! But nice to see you back, and nice to see a great effort with a DS3! I know it's hard with a DS3 from 2 years ago myself but keep at it if you can't get a wheel! Always nice to see a decent DS3 competition :D!

Morning to everyone!

My latest lap in the qualifier is now up! It's a 2:17.660! If you've not been following the GT Academy thread my target is a 2:16.9xx as I've been level with ti-tech a few times now well into the lap so if I can break the 17 barrier that would be brilliant! But ye that's my goal :)! This is a pretty average lap non of my best sectors, but this sort of lap usually gets you your fastest! Anyway to a video, and here it is, enjoy!

Enjoy!

Evening All,

Apologies for videos being a bit scarce of late, been rather busy but I've got quite a biggen for you now :)! It's the GT Academy 2013 Online Qualifier Tutorial/Guide, whatever you want to call it to be fair :)! Essentially it has all the tips, tricks and info you need to nail a good solid lap! Any questions let me know, otherwise grab a brew and enjoy the video :)!

 
Cheers Option :)!

Evening All!

Apologies for being a bit off with the videos of late, my time is either on GT Academy or training at the moment, or work of course but here's my latest time which I did today in fact :)! I nailed stowe out of the entire lap so you could have a good gander at that, otherwise enjoy a decent lap (Non best sectors however) which put me 3rd in the UK and well in the top 50 worldwide.

Enjoy!

 
Hey All!

Apologies for the long delay with videos but GT Academy has been very busy and so it meant video creation had to take a side role as I could only get 30 mins to an hour on GT Academy at max on a weekday sometimes nothing at all! But I present to you my final lap time of 2:16.858 :)! A few mistakes I'm sure you'll see those but enjoy non the less!

 
Hey :),

Here's a quality race from a practice for GT Academy :)! Some fast fast guys in this and we have 1 outlap and 1 qualifying lap. Enjoy the race as it's rather dramatic at the start and end!!

Enjoy!
