attempted to temper his expectations for what set life would be like, even when the story told was his own. “Kelso was like, ‘look, there’s a lot of waiting around. It’s not like real racing where we’re flat out 100% of the time.’” Kelso admits that part of his admonition was self-serving: “Having had to hire other professional race car drivers in the racing movies I’ve done earlier, it didn’t always work out perfectly,” he says.
“The track is cold, the tires are cold — we’d need a few laps to get all these cars working in the right window,” Mardenborough recalls. “But it got to a point where as long as we were in certain positions at certain times, each lap that [we shot] was good.” Supervising stunt coordinator Steve Kelso, left, goes over information with one of the drivers and other crew on the set of “Gran Turismo.”After going through some of the experiences depicted in the film, where as a former gamer he was dismissed, if not outright belittled, by the professional drivers he was competing against, Mardenborough came into the process — even now as a seasoned pro — with a healthy sense of modesty. “Going into it, I was expecting to have to work to earn their respect.
Working with Blomkamp and the visual effects team, Kelso found a healthy balance between shooting driving sequences practically and augmenting them with CGI. “Because of time, money, budget, we couldn’t do some of the wrecks, which we like to actually try to do some of practically, believe it or not,” he says. Nevertheless their work on set laid a foundation for the director to create scenes where the gaming and racing worlds literally overlapped.
