Rory Alexander's unrelenting passion for Gran Turismo | Podcast Interview,

For nearly two years now, Rory Alexander aka EERIEISSSS, has been a full-time sim racing content creator, driving Gran Turismo 7 and Assetto Corsa Competizione. It follows his first upload over five years ago.
Here, Thomas Harrison-Lord speaks to Rory about the shift to a new job in life, and balancing family with the will to push his UA-cam channel forward. How Shorts mixed with live streaming works for him, the motivation behind his process and how to keep the channel financially secure.
We also touch upon his incredible supportive community, and how his streams are a constant distraction for Tom.
Recorded at the Gran Turismo World Series Showdown, where Rory won the Pro-Am competition paired with Igor Fraga.

Thumbs up if you enjoy watching Rory's content!

[@amateurgtdriver]

Great interview, it shows who Rory really is. He is my inspiration to step up my simracing game. Without him I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't have met such incredible people.

[@jamesoshea580]

He got me back into racing games again. I played Gran Turismo up until the 5 prologue, then quit racing games. I saw Rory streaming about 6 months ago, and bought GT Sport in the sale, then upgraded to GT 7 and play it nearly everyday!

[@stephanehoude3436]

Great interview. Rory is the person who got me into youtube simracing stuff. He is down to earth and smart guy. His streams are simply the best you can find on youtube. Cheers my friend and see you in the next stream!!

[@thebajan7]

I was watching kie curse out a sim racer one day and wanted to hear that guys side of the story and it was rory.
After watching his response to the incident I’ve been a fan ever since!!

[@petepistol5591]

Rory does not know me but I feel like I know him. The family stuff, the risk of quiting the job, the hardwork, etc I owe him for some of my race knowledge. Thanks Rory and great interview

[@an-dt7129]

Great interview, Rory is a great streamer! It's incredible how he races and still sees the chat.

[@jaccie1972]

Great podcast! I follow and support Rory for almost 2 years now. The normal and self awareness of him, makes him my favorite Simracing streamer!

[@catch_the_breeze]

Isn’t that the GT7 pro-am champion?? 🚀🚀

[@drummy_sa]

Great to hear a bit of the history/insight.

He's a good-lookin' rooster, that guy !

[@vegaspaul9428]

Wow Rory
Shout till you hear you out 💯

[@TheAfricanPie]

“GO!”

[@chilli-soup]

Great interview. Forza M8 wasn't mentioned even though Rory recently said he's gonna give it a go on his channel. Surely he got offered early access? Is he sponsored by GT?

[@imitalian357]

Good podcast

Nobody swears at work 😂ok

[@SnowdaysnPaintjobs]

Had a question about the gt dd pedal setup as when you both put the throttle down and brake it shows I believe 50% automatically on both once both is applied inwas wondering if the other setting is by far superior? Thank you!
