A gamer went behind the wheel more than a decade ago and turned into a race car driver. Now his story will play out on the big screen in the movie 'Gran Turismo.'
Jann Mardenborough, whose real-life story has been taken to the big screen in “Gran Turismo,” said he’s living proof of it.
Mardenborough said the key to making the improbable leap from gaming to professional racing is consistency. Mardenborough’s break came through “GT Academy,” a TV series that aired around the world from 2008 to 2016. The virtual-to-reality academy offered skilled players of Gran Turismo — a video game racing simulator on PlayStation consoles — the opportunity to win spots with the Nissan racing team.
