Just watched Gran Turismo in theatres randomly and I actually enjoyed it more than Oppenheimer and Barbie.
Such an inspiring story. Underdog stories are the best.
Same for me it’s the movie of the year
Same here. Great movie
Why would you watch Barbie? 😂😂
@@Mohagnito94 my girlfriend bro
@@Russell_the_NPC 'girlfriend'...riiight...only kidding man...know the feeling...I went with my ex to watch The Devil Wears Prada...and I was 1 of only 3 guys there watching the movie...every guy was there with their girlfriends...
Jann was racing with us in a console league series, (either Race Pro or Codemaster's F1, I forgot) and he had already told us about his getting into the last group of contestants for GT Academy. I believe we were all in a race room online when he came in and told us he won the event, and I remember feeling so happy for him. Glad to see he took this one opportunity (which could have ended if he didn't have the natural talent) and progressed far beyond expectations. There will be more Jann-like stories in the future of sim racers going real pro, but the Jann Mardenborough story will always be special.
Its what is going to keep racing alive.
And now there is a movie about him
@JohnGeorgeHill, I feel bad that people that are in North America, particularly the USA, don't seem to think beyond the realms of NASCAR, World of Outlaws, late model dirt track racing, NHRA events, or random bored teenagers doing informal street drag racing in the middle of the night in many sleepy small towns. I would love to see someone that is from some place, like, say, the southeastern USA, get into racing organizations like this one.
@@paxhumana2015 Actually had a friend who I raced with on Forza. He was from the Midwest. He won some major competitions, was flown out to drive an Audi A8. He did not have a lot of money. Ended up driving in these junk car oval races. Did great but no where to go after that. There is a local dirt track in Ventura, CA. I’ve been there. It’s great. But worldwide, it’s road racing, because originally everyone was racing on real country roads. It’s two different skills really, and only a few can master both.
@@JohnGeorgeHill , if I recall correctly, Laguna Seca is in California as well. Also, thanks for not being narrow minded and elitist. Also, a county that was near mine in my birth state of Tennessee, USA had a rally racing event as well, and it is not the only place that had one as well. Chattanooga is possibly going to have one soon.
Who’s here after the gran turismo trailer dropped? 🐝
Yoo
🤚🏼
yo
bruhhhh!
bruhhhh
So this is the guy the Gran turismo movie is based on, that's so great!
I entered GT Academy that year, unfortunately without any steering wheel setup I was unable to compete against those who did... however with a final ranking of 551 in the USA and 54th with only the controller I was still very impressed with my attempt 😂
wow! congrats!
@@PetrKL21Thanks,....
@@2zcrazed6not bad can say you racing at almost 50% handicapped but you performed like 90% great hahahaha hope you be more fire 2 join again this time with an effing wheel hohohoho
Good stuff 😊
Attempt again
Just got out of the theater from seeing the movie. It was fantastic! I intentionally did not look up any info on the true story until I was done with the movie.
i love the effort put into just the intro here. making all the credits look like the PS3 menu and/or actual queues from GT5 is so cool.
Tried this with mafia city. Got killed by a level 35 boss instantly
I watched the advance screening of Gran Turismo and it was Awesome! Jann's crash in 2015 was portrayed exactly in the movie. This was the best racing movie I've seen in a while since Ford vs. Ferrari.
Both are great double feature. Haha. One le mans 1960 and the other le mans of today. Hoho.
bro where can i watch FvF ? Netflix doesn't have it.
Disney+ have haha
@@szewei85 no way...
Watch Rush as well, it also portrays race car drivers lifestyle. And of course features legendary Nikki Lauda & James Hunt
I saw his movie, the best movie of 2023, so inspirational
Wow I remember that competition, can't believe it's been 6 years. Really interesting story on this guy's journey since
and it's a movie now, insane can't believe that crash actually happened
And it's 6yrs now since u left that comment 😅... I pray ur in good health 🤗
A true gamer moment
fr fr
All I have to say is, what an inspiration 🏁
so devastating with the crash that killed the person watching, prayers to their family
Well, to be fair, the crash was not the fault of the driver, rather, it was the fault of how Nissan had designed that particular racing variant of that particular car, which led to it being redesigned. What had happened was that there was simply not enough down force, as well as weight, that had kept the car grounded on the track, thus the air that went through the vents, as well as the air that went through the space that was between the car and the ground, had created enough lift that had caused the car to literally fly off of the track. Mercedes-Benz also had a similar problem with its cars at around the same time, and NASCAR also went through a similar problem with its Car of Tomorrow (which was just one of MANY of the problems of that car), so that made not just changes on the same racing organization that the car that Jann Mardenborough had crashed on, but also with many other ones as well.
Those cars should have enough downforce to drive upside down at high speeds for this exact reason.
Also spectators should not be allowed to get there if this zone is so dangerous
@@dmitrykim3096yeah it's crazy they didn't move out the way in time
@@melxb yo those metal rockets are moving at 200mph+, unless they have spidey senses or entered the matrix, no one's dodging that. Spectators are just allowed too close.
so this is what the new movie is about
Yeah we found it ig👍
Sony/Playstation are some real ones for making a movie about bro 💯💪🏾
They called me a mad man
Truly inspiring! What a beast!
The crazy part is even the best can expect the philosophy of chaos, that anything that can go wrong will go wrong at some point. He still has his edge and I hope keeps doing good🤘
Cheers to all legends who saw the Gran Tursimo movie! In 2023❤❤🤩🤩🤩
“I kind of won gt academy “ like the movie
OMG!! this video only has 4000 views and 9 comments!? This is an amazing story! had to watch it again!
never heard of this driver but i just shared it on IG you betta bet!😝
after Gran Turismo movie there is a big improvement, you must comeback and see this😂
The movie was amazing as wel
He's done well,followed his dream,,,I owned cars such as the 1970 Pontiac GTO and can say on Forza it behaves the same for sure,,,as real as is possible,,,nothing prepares you for accidents,,,like this guy was sadly involved in,,,,,but wish him well on his racing career,,,
And here we are, waiting for August 2023 to watch the Official Gran Turismo Movie based on this story 😍
The movie was very fun! Had a great time at the cinema. I actually did not know about this story. I've heard about it, but thought it was like a joke or something. I'm very impressed. What a cool guy and what a good movie! Thanks bro 😁
The Power of PlayStation!!!
Raphael Champion you ain't lying
And the older generation always says you can't learn anything from Video Games.
That is truly unbelievable going from a to a full ledge race car driver
Can’t wait for the movie of this!
And you got it now dude. The trailer was released yesterday
@@dimasviibritannia218 omg
@@pugshugs2870 yup its Gran Turismo movie
Just watched the movie. Loved it!
I m here after watching the trailer
Thanks for making one of my car dreams true
The Gran Turismo movie trailer brought me here.
Same here
Fun Fact, ESPN actually had an app for the PS3 that could be put on a PS3. The Xbox 360 also had it as well, if my memory serves correctly.
Cant wait for Gran Turismo Movie 🥳
I bet this videos is going to blow up now
Talent is talent
Literally searched for the back story after the Gran Turismo trailer. 😂😂😂
Super inspiring
GRAN TURISMO IS A GREAT MOVIE A MUST WATCH
Who’s here because of Grand Tourism movie ?! 🏆🏆🏆🏆
God Bless Beautiful Story Let’s Goooo ❤❤❤❤
Great story
Excited for the movie! I okay gran turismo more than any other game
His very talented 🎥🙏🏻
Can’t wait for the movie, I freakin love Gramturismo
Thats awesome!!
Cant wait for the movie
Now they are now making a biopic about his story and the game itself
I can't figure out why people think simulators are not similar or precise to the real thing. That's the whole point of SIMULATION, to mimic the real thing. It's like people can't understand basic English SIMULATE. You can even use flight sims to get real flight hours for flying. The boy is a genius!!!
Phenomenal movie omg I love it!!!!
Here before this trends again
Who’ else is here after watching the new movie!
i love Sim Racing.and i love decorating liverys
so this is the gran turismo movie, i remember seeing this 6yrs ago..
Thank you SONY!!!❤❤
Legend
And there is a new film about this
a dream come true
Who's here after watching the Gran Turismo movie?!?!
It's very difficult using only controller, not being able to turn at the right degree, feel the bumps and force of the race car. I tried the academy. Placed at 1300+ with low grade internet (limited internet) and controller. Gran Turismo Fan since first PlayStation.
I got accepted for GT Academy but completed it too late to be able to actually capitalize on it
New Grand Turismo movie is based on him.
I saw the trailer! It was great!
Here because of the GT movie trailer 😊
That was a cool intro 👀
Tried this wi minecraft. Got killed by a creeper in 2 minutes...
Who's here because of Gran Turismo?
He is now getting his own movie
I watched this after watching the movie, I did not know he looked like Giannis. 🤣
That got depressing so fast
Yes. From game to real life. Thats where i learnt to drive.. professionally..
He was a gamer.
It's a good movie.
Just finished watching the movie
I thought it is fiction OMG, the movie is really based on true story
So they were on those old nissans and not the same ones on the movie?
*Anyone else here from the 2023 Gran Turismo film* ?
GT 2023 movie was awesome.
i want this game
a gamer is always a gamer
I keep seeing people talking about how Lucas should've been the person they based the movie. Yes, it wasn't that accurate (exactly why it says "based on a true story") and Jann actually had all of these documentaries and was the best person who came out of GT Academy (based on my research).
Dream like me everyday playing Gran Turismo as kid now I'm vlogger of racing game
If you're here from the Gran Turismo movie trailer 👌🏻
We really got to petition Webster’s to officially make “Racecar” 1 word!
now theyre making a movie right?
Dope
Tiger woods golf is different though, you are not using an actual club to play that game but you can stimulate actually driving a stick shift vehicle with the whole wheel, pedals, and gears
That was literally my dream as a kid playing Forza lmao
I switched to PS3/PS4 a couple years ago and I still miss Forza on Xbox. There's no other game that competes with Forza.
I played GTurismo from early days,,,moved to Forza,Assetto,Project cars,,these are my faves,,,but yes sometimes miss GT,,,,,
chargersfan1111 ok but you can’t ignore how many games are blatantly more realistic than forza. Forza is a fucking arcade.
I own a xbox series x , which racing games and racing wheel and accessories do you recommend to make the experience as close to real driving as possible.?
@@interestingvideos4046 Logitech g29 is a good beginner setup. I use a t300rs wheel with T-LCM pedals. There’s a lot more options now!
The spectators' name is Andy gearman
I did GT Academy if I only had a wheel
Accidentally spoiled the movie watching this after watching the trailer of the movie!
I'll be the 100th like... This story was so good
Come here after watching the Gran Turismo movie!
That game is pretty good 😅
Movie too
Haha wonderful
anyone come here after watch the GT movie 2023?
Ye
Me
me here after watching gran Turismo..
You can to this day get Nissan to sign you if you get superstar status and make a race team through online no needing to sign up on anything but gt
Like, if u came here from the Gran Turismo Movie trailer.
I knew about him but I didn’t know all the drama..
Sounds soo much like Jamie Carragher
