Maybe I am missing something but when tracking training history is there an option to track Gi vs No Gi? Would be curious to see my training split as well as others.

That would be a great statistic to have. Maybe Christian could add that some time soon.

We've discussed it earlier and it wouldn't really make sense to make from a logistical/technical point of view, sorry.

Not a problem definitely understand. Just curious, it seems the older I get the more I prefer training in the GI and wondered if the statistics show if that is common among BJJ practitioners.

I've been keeping track of my training for the time I've been training (only about 2 years), and my split has ended up at 238 hours total, 137 of which are in the gi, and 105 are nogi, making about 57% of my training in the gi. They don't quite sum up as I've had a few sessions where I've done some gi and nogi. I've not particularly tried to emphasise one over the other, and for the most part I've just gone to the classes that have fit my schedule regardless of gi or nogi, with a slight effort to cover a bit of both. I would have actually expected my gi percentage to be higher due to the higher prevalence of gi classes at most places I have trained, although I also train at my University club, which is 100% nogi.

Same. I'm 48 and only do gi training now. My gi is my security blanket.

I’m old and definitely think that the gi is great at slowing/controlling the pace. I bet the numbers would support your hypothesis.
