Yeah ISR thats what u can learn from a GT5 driver ! Half a second that's much ( and u guys are driving much more iR than Brian does)

[simracingtonight]

@ICEMANZIDANE Actually, Bryan drives a lot more iRacing than both of us combined. He's in the Pro / World Championship series. He's a sim racer.. We drive GT5 too... ;-)

[PcandTech]

THEY NEVER UPLOADED EPISODE 5 :(

[simracingtonight]

@PcandTech yeah they did.. It's "unlisted"

[r0mulyni2]

Damn is there a tournament for guys who suck like me lol

[Valenth1337]

I like the Top Gear thing, very fun! Nice steal! :)

[RypienGT]

Soo good to see Cuda doing well both in his Sim Racing and real life stuff. I remember running with him back in the day when we all used to watch his drift vids at the original GTF forums Kenji ran. Always fast, and always a gentleman at the forums. Great stuff Cudaman ;)

GT Academy LATIN AMERICA!!!

You never know maybe the best racer is there.

:(

Its not bad to dream. hahah

[littlejohn17]

thank you for this interview!!!!! awesomeeeee

[littlejohn17]

I am so happy this guy won , he deserved it more than anyone.

But I hated how the judges were so sad when johnston lost , they where not happy for bryan. a real judge is neutral and looks for the best not for media qualities.

Bryan is not the best in that , but when he drives , DAMN .

AWESOME.

That was an amazing episode guys!!! Great job! thank you Bryan for doing this. good looking out yo

[cocorocks88]

What a top bloke! Very jealous of the GT academy guys, they've shown that sim racers can make it into the real motor sports world and be competitive. I wish iRacing would do something like this, that would be fantastic!

[thewildone]

I love that they say Bryan 'keeps his cool', I've known him for over 20 years and I don't think in all that time I ever saw him get upset.

[Therealdjshaka]

Great show! Love the top gear thing :-)

[boban34]

This mean that GT5 is realy good sim racing title.

[GTspeedyMcGee]

Nice Interview Bryan! Nice to re-live it, through your eyes. A pleasure competing with you forsure. Your representing Nissan, Sony, & the Sim-World well :)
