Thank you everyone! (Asking for feedback)

[@FlashDaggerStudios]

Is the connection issues on your end with hardware or ISP or location is rural? Like can we buy you a booster somehow? Also yes to commentary and don’t be so critical of yourself - people want to hear your insights because there isn’t anyone more credible in the game so you are not other creators, you are you in your way and people will want to hear from you I guarantee 👊🍻

[@mikailhizal_16]

It’s my location unfortunately. I have been researching a bit about starlink, which would be an improvement but not as good as fibre for now at least. However if starlink helps my situation a bit, I would consider buying it. (I appreciate your offer of helping me out there!) And I appreciate the feedback! 🙌 I am happy to hear that! 👊

[@LIRTC91]

Mikhail, not many of the top GT racers have a KZbin channel and I think this is why you are seeing growth. We love to see your races from start to finish. No commentary is necessary, I would upload the raw race file and do supercuts of your best overtakes and wins and post those as well. Best of luck to you and your channel!

[@bpdlr]

Totally agree. You don't have to change anything, athough if you did want to commentate i would find that interesting as you always have something interesting to say in reply to the comments peple leave (although I would advise you to invest in a new microphone as the sound qaulity of your voice in this video isn't great). Oh and congratulations on 10K! That was really fast!

[@mikailhizal_16]

I appreciate both of your comments here a lot! 🙌 This is something I was thinking about too. Like uploading the entire raw footage first and then sharing a highlight video (with commentary on it) afterwards. As for the mic, I will definitely look for a new one 👍 Just want to make the correct decision in which one to buy for the PS5

[@mikailhizal_16]

Waalaykumsalam brother! 🙌 Thank you for your honesty and sharing it! 👊 I appreciate it a lot! 🙌 Yeah those were the good old days xD And thanks brother! 🙌

[@qurlyfry]

honestly bro i love the simplicity of just being able to watch a goated race from one of the best in the world. such a chill vibe and i can also react :)

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks mate! 🙌 That was my idea initially to keep it as simple as possible. And if you guys had any questions, I would answer them on the comment section afterwards

[@kyletvsouthafrica4789]

No need to apologize for anything mate. Your videos are great.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts mate! I appreciate it a lot! 🙌

[@TCR_Slappa]

With or without commentary your vids are excellent mate. It comes down to what you can do and how much time it takes.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thank you for sharing your honesty mate! I appreciate it a lot! 🙌 And that’s true indeed!

[@3k3k3]

I would gladly support this channel with real money and be part of the channel growth so that you could upgrade your internet connection and gear and improve the technical quality. As for content, simple guides and thoughts behind your drives and tactics would be appreciated and popular. The occasional livestreams with some serious racing and your current content uploads should do it.

[@mikailhizal_16]

I appreciate your honesty and support a lot mate! 🙌 I actually tried to apply for my channel getting monetised but youtube denied it for now 🫠 As for the internet connection, unfortunately that’s due to my current location 🫠 However, I have been researching a bit about Starlink, whether it’s a good and reliable upgrade and consider using that one potentially. I also appreciate your feedback a lot! 🙌

[@claymitt821]

With a driver of your talent. All you need is the race replay. It's like watching an artist creating a masterpiece ✨️. It would be nice to watch you while streaming, but if that's not possible. All you need is the replay

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks mate and I appreciate that! 🙌 Unfortunately my connection doesn’t allow me to stream my races live for now but hopefully I can sort it out for the future!

[@apj.-.-.-.-.-.-.-119]

I think some level of post commentary would be great as i’d be really interested in what you were thinking throughout the races and your general thought process.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks for the feedback apj! Personally I think I would start doing it once I bought a proper headset as the current microphone quality is a bit bad unfortunately

[@soryu2]

Would love to have some commentary, maybe as a summary prelude before a long raw race video to hear about what you thought or struggled with. Your driving skills are so inspiring! Danke und beste Grüße, S.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Vielen lieben Dank für dein Kommentar! Ich schätze das sehr und werde dies definitiv in Erwägung ziehen (zum Beispiel das Kommentieren zu den Rennen) Lg! 🙌

[@aaronstitts4246]

Love the vids! You have the smoothest driving I be ever seen! Love to hear your thoughts as well before, during, or after the races! Goat!!

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks mate and I appreciate it a lot! 🙌

[@robertstibz9506]

Everthing I've seen from you has been great to watch. Your English is very good, do not worry about it. Comentating....everyone has to start from (last place) You will get better with more experience, takes time. Digit had to start the same as you, now look at him and how he does it full time now, his job now streaming & racing.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thank you Robert and I appreciate your comment! 🙌

[@EMCUEAY]

Asalam alaikum Mikail The Museum Hizal, Ma Sha Allah, congratulations on the 10k brother. I, and I think many people who watch, aren't worried about how the video looks or the quality of the microphonet, obviously if it is in in 20k resolution it'd be perfect but we just really appreciate being able to watch and listen to you in any quality. I miss the 360 and jet engine of the GTS days but the livestreams you are doing are really good brother. Its just really good to hear you talk about things, even if its a museum tour or something. This video was quite good because you had the race on in the background and you're talking away, honestly, you don't need to worry about how you sound or how good your english is because you're the Champ.If theres something we can do to help you please let us know, I'm certain that if we can help we will.

[@EneasDeDonder]

Don't worry Mikail, your races are very interesting and fun to watch, for a headset a logitech is pretty good like the logitech G Pro. And it is your youtube channel you do what you want with it.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thank you for sharing your feedback mate which I appreciate a lot! 🙌 Also, thank you for recommending that one! I will check it out later 👍

[@Racer_DM]

Salaams and CONGRATS on the 10k man! GT legend!! World Series, Dailies, Lap time challenges are all great. Especially on things you're changing as you race - we can see your replays/lines etc but sometimes strategy changes, lines change etc - taking Nurbergring as the example from this stream - you're obviously fast but why? Not always easy for us amateurs to understand. When to throttle, turn, trail etc. But yeah if you upload then talk over this is fine too. One of the first guys I followed (for F1) is Limitless. Worth seeing how he does his videos, very informal and helpful

[@mikailhizal_16]

Waalaykumsalam! Thanks mate and I appreciate it a lot! 🙌 I agree with you here and I will consider that definitely! 🙌

[@uur1482]

Thank you for reaching out and congrats on your improving channel! There are many top players out there streaming and commentating full lengths. They need to be entertaining to keep the interest. You are a GOAT player, not just top. So I'd be much more interested on your insights. Like you mention close to the end, car/track/strategy/track and driving tips/how you make split second decisions, setups, etc.. are much more valuable to me. Looking forward to future videos.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks for your honesty, your feedback and for your comment mate! 🙌 I will consider that definitely 💪👍

[@PlebsterMotorsport]

Congratulations on 10k 🎉 I think that if you sometimes get stuck for words, you can always fall back onto giving us a gold mine of information. I study your lines and inputs on every video and sometimes wonder why you take a certain line? Or shift gear in a certain place? Etc. I look forward to learning more and wish you all the best 👍

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks mate and for your feedback! 🙌 I was thinking about making a series where I would talk about certain points so that everyone can improve themselves (such as “episode 1: braking”) etc.

[@cridE60]

First of 10k 🎉 second off, reach out to your preferred hardware company / fanatec / moza / logitech etc. and ask if they want to sponsor you a full set-up (including the new headset!)

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks mate!🙌 As for getting sponsored, as I am already part of Redline we have our own sponsors but unfortunately they don’t work for the PS5 🥲 However I am still happy with my current equipment though. As for the headset, I will definitely look for one!

[@kostiantynhlyz]

Congrats on the 10k! 🎉 What, in my opinion, could be improved about your videos: 1) Bitrate of the recordings/uploads, if possible 2) I'd love to hear more or your spoken commentary, especially since you're already thinking about getting a better mic! 😉 Other than that - keep on keeping on, you Smooth Operator, you! 😁👍

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thank you for sharing your feedback kostian! I appreciate it a lot! 🙌 1) if only my connection was better 🥲 2) Thanks mate and I will consider that! Smooth operator!!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@andrewwinstanley4379]

Hi Mikhail, congrats on 10k!! If you have the time and the energy I and many, many others would love to hear your thoughts on the strategy, decisions through the race, the car, and all the good stuff you mention at 7:12 but I also frankly happy to watch you race, its just lovely.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Hi Andrew! Thank you and for your comment and your feedback a lot! 🙌 I will definitely consider that! 👊

[@betocruz4867]

Hizal, you are a very good critic of yourself. Stop it. Believe in yourself. I’m honestly tired of watching videos with the metas. You on the other hand are a beast with any car and you really know how to handle any car. Anything you do if you do it for fun and passion, you will get your reward. At the end of the day everyone knows who you are. And they all respect you a lot.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thank you for your honesty and for your feedback mate! I appreciate that a lot! 🙌 Personally I like to use non meta cars to keep improving on myself or to even overcome myself (in order to keep up with them). And personally I also like to see other cars too xD Thanks again mate! 👊

[@YTViewer-m5z]

Personally, I like your current style. You define the phrase 'I'll do my talking on the track'. I'm sure you'll take all the feedback given and find your style.

[@mikailhizal_16]

I appreciate your honesty and thank you for sharing it mate! 🙌

[@1xRacer]

Congrats 10k is amazing and very deserved!

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks mate! 🙌

[@cjpcle]

Congrats on 10k subs! I'd say balance your time and effort, with consideration of your available time and bandwidth. I like watching the full races. Your consistency is amazing and as a mere mortal, I study the lines you take as well the braking, turn in points, shifting, and acceleration out of corners. Even as I watch this video I am doing this.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks mate and I appreciate your comment a lot! 🙌 I will definitely try to do that as youtube is not my main occupation. However I still try to improve it so that you guys can enjoy it even further. Thus I appreciate your and the rest of the written comments within the comments section a lot! 🙌

[@AnilPrabha]

Keep up the good work.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks mate! 🙌 and I will try! 💪

[@cerrobueno]

I'd watch literally anything you post, but I did enjoy your reverse layout laps on courses that don't have one in the game. Perhaps you could do Bathurst or Daytona as well?! Congrats on 10k also!

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks mate! 🙌 Actually, I drove the reverse layout of Bathurst in gt sport, which you can see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2jWlp93lNR8l5ofeature=shared But I will try to continue doing that series hehe

[@marklimbert4219]

You're the best player in the world mate

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thank you and I appreciate it a lot! 🙌However I thank you (all) for supporting me and for watching my videos! 🙌

[@akuzin13]

Hi Mikail, First of all, this achievement is well deserved. Full length races could be cool, but I personally prefer highlights. Given your experience and your position in the GT community, comms would be super cool, you could give us some tips or insights from your races. Looking forward to this!

[@mikailhizal_16]

Hi Akuzin! Firstly thank you for your feedback, which I appreciate a lot! 🙌 I will take it into consideration. As for the tips, I was actually thinking about either making one video about me sharing advice in general or turn it into a series (like “episode 1: braking”, etc.)

[@Lux_Klonoa]

I've got nothing to say other than to continue uploading replays in GT7 itself (file size permitting, of course). I like watching them in-game, and especially since some of us are getting the PS5 Pro next week, so... yeah. Keep up the great work, btw.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks for your comment and this is an interesting idea. I can try to share the replay of the race I decide to upload on yt, in gt7 itself

[@FB-lk2rl]

10k tebrik ediyorum. sen güçlü gibi. ama turnuva gitmek için tavsiyem. ileri seviye artmak olsun kanalınız bol şanşlar. 💪

[@mikailhizal_16]

Dürüstlük yazdınız ve paylaştınız için çok teşekkür ediyorum! 🙌 Turnuva gitmek isterdim ama maalesef iş yüzünden katılamıyorum suanda. Ama inşaallah sonradan tekrar katılabilirim. Tekrardan çok teşekkür ediyorum ve iyi akşamlar! 🙌👊

[@timevolentisback6840]

Erstmal Glückwunsch zu den 10.000 Abonnenten! Woran du eventuell auch Interesse haben könntest, wären Track guides, wo du Bremspunkte, schwierige Stellen und ähnliches zu den daily races und time trials machst. Bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass du so viele neue Zuschauer bekommen könntest. Viel Glück weiterhin auf deiner Reise 🙌

[@mikailhizal_16]

Vielen lieben Dank und auch Dankeschön für dein Feedback! 🙌 Das habe ich mir auch schon überlegt aber andere content creators wie zum Beispiel Tidgney, Digit, Kie etc machen das schon. Da weiß ich nicht ob meins dann ausreichend wäre 😅 Aber das werde ich trotzdem in Erwägung ziehen!

[@timevolentisback6840]

@ Du hast halt einen Riesen Vorteil, da du dich schon International gegen die besten der besten durchgesetzt hast und ja auch im Spiel selbst namentlich genannt wirst. Das imponiert ordentlich, weswegen viele dann gezielt deinen Rat und Sicht aufsuchen. Es ist nochmal ein großer Unterschied, ob es ein „normaler“ content creator oder halt ein World Champion Tips gibt👌😌

[@KBurke-u3h]

I think you're doing a great job. Start slow and add on as you get more comfortable with you're with content creation.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks for your comment and for your advice mate! 🙌

[@01FozzyS]

Full length raw and/or highlights work for me,Mikail. I'd watch both.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks for sharing your feedback mate! 🙌

[@ay1ai146]

🐐 I would love it if you could like commentate on your videos, speaking about why you did what you did, in terms of decision making, inputs. But I would like the full raw video but maybe if u could like add a few comments here and there to explain your thought process as a driver during the race. But yh love ur videos 🫡

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks mate and thank you for sharing your feedback! 🙌 Actually that’s a good idea to upload the full races still but commentating on the important parts still (like me talking about the strategy, my decisions etc)

[@Rapid_GT]

I quite enjoy the raw full race videos, plus its quicker than uploading via Share factory. Some commentary would be good though on tips, tricks and strategy or hacks 😂 Just do what you enjoy, people will watch for sure.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks for your comment mate and I appreciate it a lot! I will definitely take it into consideration! 🙌 (And yeah that’s true with the sharefactory 😂)

[@CROLLECTOR]

For content I'd like to see at least one vid per week covering a Daily Race C where you start from the back with a car that no one uses. Could either one full race or two races with some cuts.

[@mikailhizal_16]

This is actually a nice idea! I will definitely consider this one 👍🙌

[@ze4695]

Wir brauchen einfach mehr content! Alles andere ist mehr als genug 💪💪💪

[@mikailhizal_16]

Ich werde es definitiv versuchen! Aufgrund meiner Arbeit wird es Phasen geben, wo ich für eine gewisse Zeit nichts mehr uploaden kann (eventuell 2-3 Wochen max). Aber danach sollte ich auf jeden Fall in der Lage sein, weiter Videos hochladen zu können 💪

[@Martin-lh2jl]

Bist echt ein klasse Kerl und echt sympathisch, hast es dir echt verdient so weit zu kommen. Mic Qualität ist ein guter Start und ansonsten wäre ein bisschen Live-Kommentar vllt ganz cool

[@mikailhizal_16]

Vielen lieben Dank für dein Kommentar Martin! Ich schätze das sehr! 🙌 Ich würde mich auch gerne über dein Feedback bedanken wollen. Das mit den live streams hängt leider von meiner Internetverbindung ab… aber sobald die mal in Ordnung ist, dann würde ich gerne streamen 🙌

[@ahmedsivac6986]

Assalamu alaykum Mikail. I didn't know you had ambitions of growing the channel tbh. Which in itself says a lot, doesn't it. I'm not expert so I can only provide what I feel: 1. There are plenty of youtubers doing the same thing (daily streams, strategy talk etc), and as you said they're simply more talented/experienced than you so it would be hard to compete with them doing exact same thing. So maybe try to do something different? Which brings me to point 2 2. None of those mention youtubers are Mikail Hizal. You're the GOAT and we'll all watch and support you no matter what you do. But specifically, I really enjoy watching you drive cars that can be competitive in the right hands but aren't exactly meta (like Ford). I always prefer the full race to watch, and if you provided it with commentary about car, track, driving style, it would only make it better imo 3. You need interaction. Streams provide that, but since you can't stream atm, maybe a discord server? I like that you always try to reply to yt comments. Interaction is important, because us viewers want to feel like a part of a community rather than just watchers. At least me anyway. 4. Branding and personalization. Put something in the about section, we like to relate on a more personal level. Share your plans for future if possible, share your rig, settings, anything. I really think on social media you need to make yourself appear personable and also relatable. Think about making a simple intro for videos and also a logo simply so the channel looks more professional That's it for now. I could be wrong on all of those ofc, like I said I have no idea about yt or anything like that, just sharing my thoughts. But anyway, I'll personally watch anything you provide, I simply enjoy it. Just watching you drive is like a therapy. Best of luck, hope to see you as soon and as often as possible :)

[@mikailhizal_16]

Waalaykumsalam Ahmed! It’s not really an ambition but I would like you guys to enjoy watching my videos more. Firstly I would like to thank you for sharing your honesty, your thoughts and your feedback about my request! 🙌 I will try to answer them down below: 1. As for the strategy, I think I could still try to share my decisions from the races so that everyone can understand what I was trying to do at least (for example the Road Atlanta race with the Ford as I tried to undercut the cars in front of me) But overall I agree with you here. 2. Thank you for sharing that mate! 🙌 3. I am trying to interact with the community on social media at least. I definitely need to try and check my DMs more often as I have been receiving lots of messages recently. As for discord, I fear that I am not able to keep it under control or before it starts to escalate. As for me replying back here on yt, I like to do that as I would like to give my appreciation to you guys for watching my videos! 🙌 (and obviously answering any questions!) For now it seems to be fine with the amount of comments but I am scared that it might escalate too 🥲 4. As I am part of Team Redline I could try to use their branding but personally I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. Obviously if you guys have any questions about my rig, setup etc I will answer them. But for now I don’t think I want to use that at least. Nevertheless I still appreciate your feedback though brother! 🙌

[@Scofield786]

Mik full setup would be awesome at 1080p but we will take what ever you can do. Would be nice if you have a ps5 camera 📷 also 😊

[@mikailhizal_16]

If only I had more space for a full setup for that in my room 🥲 Let’s see if I can even do it with the ps5 camera potentially. However, thanks for your feedback, Scofield! Personally I don’t think I would use a camera for now but I will definitely consider it in the future!

[@Scofield786]

Ps5 camera you can just clip on the TV 📺 will work

[@bohkdi]

Cok basarilar kardesim ❤

[@mikailhizal_16]

Teşekkürler!!! 🙌

[@ScottMansfield]

Before you do a video, draw up a script. It might not need to be completely fleshed out but create an idea on what you want to say. Very best wishes with the channel.

[@mikailhizal_16]

That’s a very good point and idea actually! Thank you so much 🙌 And thanks Scott! 🙌

[@bellesigt]

would be great a onboard cam on the footage, like turn on the camera before start the race showing your steering wheel, or yourself i don't know.. not sure if its possible but it would be awesome

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks for sharing your feedback which I appreciate a lot! 🙌 Due to the lack of space in my room I can’t use a proper setup unfortunately. However maybe the normal ps5 camera could fix that 🤔

[@DigidiBoom]

222nd like..😏 Give this LEGEND more of them !!! (dont buy Bluetooth headset) those with good mic are to heavy :D wired ones are lighter and can be used for hours..

[@mikailhizal_16]

Oooo that’s a nice number hehe and thanks mate! 🍪🍪🍪 Understood and thanks mate! What about the cable ones? (I think Logitech G Pro has these)

[@lazerpro968]

I'd say it's really up to you if you want to do commentary videos or not. But if you decide to, you do have to buy a new headset because your mic is muffled. Though if you're unsure about it, you can upload some commentary videos and see how well they do compared to without. As for uploads, compilations/highlights of races would be nice. Like compilations of overtakes, bugs, glitches, close wins, etc.

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thank you for sharing your honesty mate which I appreciate a lot! I will definitely consider buying a headset so that my audio quality will be improved at least. As for creating a highlight video, this sounds like a good idea but I think it might be too time consuming to find all the good, interesting, etc moments. However, I will still consider this for the future as there were few cool moments from the exhibition series for example

[@knallpistolen]

Raw upload is fine , I will still watch it. But if you want to take the time to make a highlight video that would be awesome .

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks for your feedback Knall and I will take it into consideration! 🙌

[@chinguyenmanh1514]

Love your video ❤ can you share your ingame and wheel setting?

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks mate! 🙌 For sure I can! I use the Thrustmaster T-GT with the normal T3PA pedals (without the brake mod from Thrustmaster) As for the ingame settings: 4/8 in order

[@apj.-.-.-.-.-.-.-119]

The razer black shark v2 x (wired version) has a very good mic especially for the relatively inexpensive price!

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thank you for the advice as well! I will take a look at it later on 🙌

[@samhuddy5951]

I like full race but where highlights are shown in different angles!

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks mate! 🙌 I will note it down! 👍

[@CAPT_Pricey]

How speedy is your internet connection?

[@bati123a]

I think slower than Hizal 😂

[@mikailhizal_16]

Usually my download speed is at around 4-6 Mbps and my upload speed is at 1 mbps the best (usually at around 800-900 Kbps)

[@LehanBreytenbach]

eyy we got commentry have you thought about a wheel cam if ur using headphone mic i think if u get a microphone is will make a huge difference

[@mikailhizal_16]

Hehe 😄 For now I haven’t thought about using a wheel cam yet due to the lack of space in my room (unless I use the ps5 camera potentially).

[@jamestala2920]

Try maybe showing your face more and invest in trying for a better microphone. Basically try taking SuperGT’s approach as an example for you to follow. Everything else is good 🙏👍😁

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks for the feedback mate! 🙌 I appreciate it a lot! As for the microphone, I will definitely try to buy a (proper) headset so that the microphone quality will be improved at least. As for the camera, due to the lack of space in my room, I don’t think I can do that for now at least. However a ps5 camera could fix that potentially 🤔

[@MarcelNinety]

🇩🇪👍🏁

[@mikailhizal_16]

👊

[@SweetCherryGrower]

Go vr

[@mikailhizal_16]

I need a psvr2 for that 🥲 But for sure it would be cool to share some races with me using it. That would make the races quite interesting and intense

[@rhino7735]

Maybe just your audio mate 👍

[@mikailhizal_16]

Thanks mate! 👍 This might be the quickest fix for now 🙌

[@SuperNoviceDriver]

Do a smurf account

[@mikailhizal_16]

A smurf account? 😅 (I apologize that I don’t know it for now)
