I came from "gran turismo" movie trailer.

[@Aireisor]

What a great thing Nissan and GT are doing. Also shows how competitive racing simulation drivers are.

Aha, a true gamer in this one. Even when they're talking to him he doesn't even pause his game.. Good man, and well done!

[@kevinho1922]

I'd love to see him realize his dream of competing in f1 I can imagine the look on everyone's face when he wins and he tells the interviewer he started out playing video games lol

[@redd605]

I remember watching this on channel 4 or channel 5. When he entered a motor racing competition.

[@lukedanielgalon1596]

I think even his not in F1 at least he made in the big leagues

[@VermePR]

Gran Turismo 2023 movie about his real story is great. I was in cinema with my wife and 2 sons and everyone was excited. Best regards Jan!

[@apathy11303]

The reality is that racing is a rich man's sport and this allowed regular people to have a shot

[@argentoairgun]

now waiting on movie

[@sursomsatan1225]

Pimple.
..anyhow, it's remarkable that you (with help from companies that dare) can go from having an interest in games to actually apply it to reality. Try explaining this to someone in the early 90's :)

[@gaminghabit4412]
