Newsletter: Landmarks!
Another two weeks down, another email to you guys. Time flies when you're having fun and in addition to videos this email will also give a few updates on some landmarks I've reached over the past fortnight. Thank you all once again for your support!
Twitch Partner!
It has been well known that I've been focusing on improving my live streams in terms of quality and viewr numbers in order to achieve a partnership with twitch. Well just last week it finally happened and I now have custom emotes (broughyRaceface & broughyFacepalm) for those who choose to subscribe. It was such a great feeling to have the hard work finally pay off and I express my thoughts in the following video.
Twitch Partner! Thank You & T Shirts!
30,000 Subscribers!
I've never been one for setting subscriber number goals because I firmly believe that you should be happy with what you have, especially when it comes to something like this, but each time I reach a new milestone on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, or anywhere it really does hit home just where I'm at. I know every "youtuber" says this but I never expected to even have 1k subs let alone 30x that amount and I really do appreciate every single person who watches my videos. My celebration video this time is a setup/room tour :)

Multi-Class Endurance Championship
At the time of writing this there is only one round of the MCEC to go. It's going to be a shame to finish it but it has also been a very busy period when it comes to making the quite involved videos that go along with it so in a way it will be nice to have a rest from that. The video for round 9 won't be out for a while but if you haven't seen them already rounds 7 and 8 are available, both using sports cars.
Round Seven (Sports B) - GTA Multi-Class Endurance Championship Season Two
Round Eight (Sports A) - GTA Multi-Class Endurance Championship Season Two
Car Testing
Still exploring different ways of categorising the cars/vehicles in GTA Online and I have a few novel ideas for the future as well which may end up being very interesting indeed. I'll be keeping quiet about that for now though ;)
Fastest Electric Vehicles - Best Fully Upgraded Cars In GTA Online
Fastest Convertible Cars - Best Fully Upgraded Cars In GTA Online
Extras
Over the past two weeks I also made videos about the PC release of GTA V, the criminal mastermind challenge, a 4 minute lovely video of the sunset during the final MCEC race on Blaine County 24h, and a triple garage tour. If you missed any then they're down below.

Thank you all so much for all your support and for receiving/reading these emails. It's nice to know that there are a small number of you out there who want to stay up to date with what I'm doing as much as possible!
As always feel free to reply to let me know anything you'd like to see with this or anything else. Cheers!

From January to October 2015 I sent a newsletter every two weeks which linked all the videos I’d published during that time, helping those who signed up to not miss anything. It spawned from a CGP Grey idea/blog post and led to me creating one of the worst clickbait videos I’ve ever made. The short-lived newsletter did have some limited success with over 100 sign-ups, but eventually proved too much effort for the small benefits as social media and other ways to connect with viewers grew significantly faster. All of the newsletters I sent have been brought over here for archival purposes, as they formed a baseline for what would become the monthly Patreon blogs that started in September 2016 with “The Big Patreon Update”.
