GT Academy Hosts Live Twitch.tv Stream with Bryan Heitkotter

Last year’s U.S. GT Academy winner, Bryan Heitkotter, will be appearing in a special live-streamed event tonight on Twitch.tv.

Sony first announced the event last night on Facebook, and is now promoting the broadcast with a complete “site takeover” advertisement on Twitch.tv’s homepage. It’s not yet clear exactly what Bryan will be doing during the broadcast, but since Twitch typically features live video gaming streams, chances are good we’ll get to see the 2011 champion at work.

You can watch the broadcast in the player above, or directly on Twitch.tv. It kicks off tonight at 01:00 GMT (convert this to your local time here).

    This was real boring, why did i waste 2 hours on it? Real bad host, didn’t really know anything about racing which would have worked if he was a better host.. but he wasn’t. ^^

      I agreed with you on that one as well. I mean, did you see how bored Bryan was? The host was boring as heck. :\

    Did you guys heard in the video what the other guy said? GT5/GT Academy, actually does make you a better driver. Learn from your mistakes, and you’ll become better. That’s the thing I love about GT5. Even the physics itself is awesome. What other game will make you a better driver? Now I wished I’ve had a wheel. This is just amazing. Even Bryan himself was teaching him about the Nurburgring’s corners through that section, and finally becaming better at it, very proud. GT5 is hands down, the BEST driving/racing game, ever to exist on consoles. :)

    3 AM here.. probably will be sleeping by then. If it’s something interesting i hope they’ll put it up for us to see afterwards.

    Hmm interesting… maybe something to do with the 24h Nurburgring event coming up on on the weekend. Or something about the GT Academy.

      i belive that we (the DLC which im talking about) will see the same track that PD released, when they did the NSX preview… AND, if you look close enough at the video, i am pretty sure that the track they are showing is the remaining track at Route X.

      For example, as soon as you reach, what, 1200 Meters, just about to go under that one section on top of you, I am pretty sure that was the turn where the NSX was showcased at least twice in the preview. I have only seen the clip three times, but i am pretty sure that will be the next track.

      IF, Twin Motegi is in GTA, then most likely we will get it after the race. I am just hoping to get the R18, but that wont happen. Most likely the Delta Wing will be the Nissan car at Le Mans, because its and LMP, and its Le Mans… i mean, put the parts together.

      ALSO, if anyone has noticed that in GTA, (at least on my screen) that it shows the 2013 GT-R. Now this is probably the black edition with a paint over effect on it, but that WILL be a car, most likely the one in round 5 or 6. How? it shows the cars in order, like the leaf is first, then the R35 i think, then the skyline, and the 370z, on mine it shows the GT-R but just not it’s name…

      So idk. I am just really hopinv PD puts in the new R18Ultra and the NEW NEW R18 E-tron quattro…… i need new pants….

      It’s kinda hard to argue with full screenshots of Motegi.

      But I get you, it would be cool to see those extra roads off to infield of Route X be put to good use, but to be honest I would think if they were planning on doing that, they would’ve just made both tracks and THEN sold it, right?

      Here’s the part to where profit comes in from AP Econ….

      If your going to be making two things very similar, would you bundle it for a mixed price, or would you sell separately for a 25% increase than the bundle… Like, would you sell two items worth $10 (with other cars obviously) for $15, OR, would you sell the two products separately for $20??? I do think that the NSX will be free with the additional Motegi or route x2 or whatever, similar to the NSX stealth model they did recently… Not really but you know.

      That’s my two cents. I normally like to do this on the news section rather than the forums because I think it draws more attention. So don’t go trolling on me for doing so…

    Shame it’s too late for me. Also, cbabb, that Extension is brilliant. wouldn’t have seen this until tomorrow without it.
