Welcome to my Channel!
I'm known as Tidgney both in the real world and the virtual and mainly play Gran Turismo. I've competed at the top of Gran Turismo for many years!
The channel is here for guides and tips and occasionally the odd piece of content just for a bit of fun! This is a hobby for me that's all, so I'll create content for fun and stream for fun!
Have fun and enjoy your day!

Hey Everyone!
We've hit another insane milestone in the community today of 200,000 subscribers! I just want to say a MASSIVE thankyou to everyone who has joined the community and is also enjoying the content! Very tough year this year trying to maintain the channel, be a dad to our newborn Ayiana and work full time to! You'll have noticed we've settled into a routine of 3 videos a week and 3/4 shorts a week at the moment. Streams will be returning once Ayiana gets into a routine but newborns don't understand routines so once we do get to that point they will return! We then may also go back to 4 videos a week as well but one step at a time!
I owe you another special I know and the 30,000 one is well on the way now to haha! So that should be appearing soon! Just for clarification on what's to come yet;
10K Special - Was a Journey through the Channel -- DONE
20K Special - Ask me Anything -- DONE
30K Special - To Come
40K Special - 24 Hours of Nurburgring Lap Record Stream (241 Laps!) -- DONE
50K Special - Community Go-Karting Event -- DONE!
60K Special - To Come
70K Special - To be Announced
80K Special - Dream Car Purchase! (To Come)
90K Special - To be Announced
100K Special - Community PalmerSport Event (2026)
200K Special - To be Announced
Once again a massive thankyou for your support over the years you truly are an amazing bunch of people!

Hey All!
Hope you're all well and having a fantastic weekend! I just thought i'd give you an update to content and the channel and what's happening at the moment as I imagine some of you have a few questions!
First of all Lady Tidge and Baby Tidge are doing very well (As am I if anyone wanted to know that to haha). A massive thankyou for all the support over the weeks it is appreciated and is noticed!
Content wise, just to keep you updated! I've been making plans and adjustments to life to be able to continue my hobby of Racing / Content Creation. I enjoy doing this but I do not want to miss anything with Baby Tidge, I have to ensure I continue working my full time job (I know there's still alot of people who think I do content creation full time) effectively and also enjoy a bit of "Me" time. The "Me" time is something I am working on as it's not something I've ever really done in my life as normally if I'm not working, I'm creating... If I'm not creating I am racing... I genuinely don't stop (But I also enjoy this I hate being bored!). So I'm working on that, and highly recommend if you don't do it yourself something to look at just for enjoyment of life! Anyway, with that in mind you may have noticed a schedule that I have been doing on the channel so just thought I'd let you know this is the schedule for the rest of the year at this point;
- Monday: Weekly Race Guide & Weekly Race Short
- Tuesday: Short - Potential of Bonus Video but unlikely.
- Wednesday: Short
- Thursday: Time Trial Guide & Patch Videos
- Friday: Feature Video
- Saturday: Livestream
- Sunday: Short
If something doesn't happen on the day it will be postponed to the following week with the exception of the Weekly Race Guide and Time Trial Guide, both of them will normally happen on the same week.
With Livestreams... they aren't starting yet as it's a critical part of Baby Tidges life and alot of work but they will return. I would say in the past I was counted as a "Streamer" but I do not want to miss anything important so Livestreams will happen on Saturdays but when there's something fun to do and availability to do so. I want to make them the best they can be so do expect improvements with them in the future!
Feature videos will be of varying subjects, some Gran Turismo, some other racing games (Others are planned) and these are videos I just want to make. The channel is a hobby and I want to make the videos I want to make around the racing games on the channel so some videos won't be popular but I've hit my target of 100K so we can enjoy videos that we want! Finally.... the specials... they are happening! I'm currently working on the 30K Special... but just to confirm the specials coming up;
- 30K Special
- 60K Special
- 70K Special
- 80K Special
- 90K Special
- 100K Special - PalmerSport (More to come on this but upto 10 of you could be coming!)
Specials already done on the channel;
- 10K Special: A Journey through time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsg1Y...
- 20K Special: Ask me Anything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSWbT...
- 40K Special: The Nurburgring Lap Record (Most Laps Completed in 24 Hours): youtube.com/live/GJDsdUldv1U
- 50K Special: Go-Karting Event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ8Fn...
We may also need to consider the 200K special if we eventually get there, but I'll keep you posted. So lots of unique and interesting content to come that is for sure!
Plebs of the Week... This is still on pause and this is just due to a time constraint right now, apologies for those seeking this particular piece of content. All previous content is being used for something else which I can share on discord.
Once again a massive thankyou for all the support on the channel and I know there's less content at the moment my aim is to keep producing the best content I can and enjoy the hobby I've been doing for 15 years! So Quality over Quantity! If you do have any ideas for any content you like do drop me a comment or a DM on discord! If anything does change with content I'll be sure to update you here and also in discord!
O and the usual I am catching up on comments (again I know...) I'm 3 weeks behind so I'm hoping to get up to date with them this week for those with any questions already asked. I appreciate comments, I just sometimes fall behind!
May the Fourth be with You (Happy Star Wars Day!) 💛

Yo Folks!
PSN is having a moment at the moment, been trying all morning and I still can't get on. So rather than waiting and hoping it comes back on I'm going to enjoy the rest of the day which means no stream again... Apologies. Video tomorrow and content continues as normal for next week!
If you do manage to get on and have a go at GTWS, have fun and good luck!

Sorry folks no stream today! Just randomly go into coughing fits when I get a tickle in my throat and not sure it would be the best stream in the world if that happened! Other than that over the Man Flu so hopefully streaming will continue again soon!
Apologies for any delay with comment responses to, Man flu got me hard mid week so just been doing enough to continue the content! Should be back to normal for everything soon. Have a fun weekend and stay safe!

Wishing you all a Happy New Year for 2025! Hopefully you have a fantastic year!
2024 for me was one of numbers and a few goals! I set targets last year and I missed nearly all but one of them again! But I don't see it as failure, I see it as something to continue to strive for! I look at those targets and if I have something to aim for I can continue to push forward and that's how I live my life day after day.
Targets and Outcomes;
- Walk 10,000 Steps a Day on Average -> Completed it Mate! Also going to continue doing this as it stops procrastination. This is harder than it looks, especially when I work at a desk all day in my day job and do Content Creation!
- Run a 20 Minute 5K -> I went from 41:16 to 23:41 I had 3 injuries and a treadmill break so I'm really happy with this! I did revise it to 25 minute (After my first injury) 5K so smashed that!
- Weight 69kg / 12% BF -> 72.15Kg / 15.3% BF, this is just a continued goal as I feel so much better from dieting (I started at 80KG / 20.2% BF in 2024)
- Livestream once a week -> I do this every other week where possible... but I don't want to stream just for the sake of it, so I'm happy with this!
- Improve the Quality of the Content -> I've really focused on trying to improve that quality and the results do speak for themselves! We hit 100,000 Subscribers this year and I'm so thankful for your support!
I have a few more goals in 2025, as 2025 will be the HARDEST year of my life I'm sure with the little one on the way! It will also hopefully be the most REWARDING with the little one on the way... The one thing I live by is that I will always give 100% to everything I do and I'll continue to do that! That includes the content creation, it may slow a little with the little one but I want to continue with it and maybe the 100,000 subscriber special will be this year 👀
My Targets for 2025;
- Run a 20 Minute 5K
- 69KG / 12% BF
- Plan Better (Try not to do so much) and Stick to the Plan
- Better response time to Comments / DMs / Emails (Maximum 3 days delay)
- Purchase the Audi R8 DREAM CAR! (I just bought the family whip)
- My BIGGEST target is to be the best Dad I can be (Insane to say I will be a Dad!?)
I wish you all the best for 2025, and I want to say a massive thankyou for your support whether continued or you are new to the channel/community! Lets have a fun and exciting one!
Much Love 💛💛💛💛

Hey Folks!
Apologies I've had to cancel todays stream! I went for breakfast this morning (Which ended up at our table cold) and have had a dodgy stomach since, plus I can't get upto speed at the event so not sure it would be that fun! Will be back next week with another stream though, apologies for those that were looking forward to it! Content continues as normal from tomorrow!

Hey Everyone!
I just want to say a MASSIVE Thankyou to everyone for their support over the years! I do this as a hobby... for fun... I enjoy video editing and I enjoy racing so the combination really does suit me. But while I enjoy it, sometimes it can be tough, like REALLY tough! For those that don't know 2022 was extremely tough year for me personally. I have said I'll share at some point and I will do but I want to focus on the positive side of this weekend. 100,000 subscribers was always a dream, a way that could show the amount of content produced for YouTube in one form and the fact we've hit that blows my mind, it really really does!
I can't say thank you enough I really can't I'm hoping at least the 100,000 subscriber special shows just how much. That announcement will be soon in a video so do keep an eye out. All other specials will be happening before this though and we still have;
- 30K special (Should appear at the 50k)
- 50K Special, (event is November 9th, video soon after)
- 60K Special (Relates to 30K)
- 70K Special (Relates to the 40K which was the Nurburgring Lap Record in 24 hours)
- 80K Special (Audi R8 Gen 1)
- 90K Special (This has had to change due to how fast it happened but choice of 2)
- 100K Special (Announcement soon)
From this point on if the channel continues to grow then it will be every 100K and they will continue to get bigger. I want to produce the very best content for you guys while also trying to be a good ambassador for good/fun racing and hopefully a good source of knowledge/help for when you need it!
Honestly a massive thank you to everyone I really can't say thank you enough you guys are amazing 💛 !

Hey All!
Welcome to all the new subscribers to the channel, I'm glad you've joined the community and hope you continue to enjoy all the content coming on the channel! Just thought I'd update everyone on a few things!
1) 50K Special: Apologies for the delay with finalising the event details but it's been harder to organise than I expected. I've been going backwards and forwards with emails for months! I was hoping to visit the location yesterday but they ended up being closed for the day (Even though they said they were open!). But do keep an eye out and I'll update you when I can!
2) Specials: The channel has grown at an insane rate, and I appreciate all the support! Every single special will be done, they just might be a bit delayed but do keep an eye out 👀
3) Every year, and this year is no exception I announce August and September are my busiest months at work. It does mean content may be reduced during this time frame including livestreams. I'll still try and get up all the usual content but can only apologise if content drops are smaller for these next 2 months.
Normally I stream every other Saturday (Today being an other Saturday). But I have had a week off work this week and been doing lots of things in the background. I've not quite finished everything so I won't be streaming today and my intention is to finish of those small bits! There is a Marbles stream later at 9pm for those that want that.
Once again a MASSIVE thankyou for your continued support, and a big welcome to everyone who has subscribed! Lots more to come, stay tuned 💛

Hey All!
A number of you will be wondering where the weekly race guide will be this week. Unfortunately for this week there won't be one (The Timetrail guide will be here). I'm currently away on Holiday as a surprise gift for Lady Tidge's Birthday!
There are videos coming out all this week, so keep an eye out, and will see you on Saturday for another Livestream and Eurovision 😜

Apologies with the delay of the wheel review folks! As I mentioned at the start of the year, I'm making sure the quality is there in terms of the content, and review and not rushing anything. Hoping to have it out this weekend now 💛
