Yes.

Oh, bruv, it's beautiful.
Dude, how many months
of selling underwear
did you have to do
to afford the new wheel?
Be honest. Ah!
[JANN LAUGHS]
I just know this means
you'll be

Yeah, bruv,
I'm bored of the caf.
Yo, I'm 99% sure that
I've beaten every single person
that's ever stepped foot
in the caf.
Also, for your information,
it only took me a month
of saving up
at the knickers store
to afford the new wheel.
Not months, plural.
Month, singular.
Moment of truth!
Oh, she's perfect.
Uh...
[LAUGHS]
This is so much better

I-I'm sorry.
I'm unstoppable now.
I'm unstoppable.

Hey. Sorry, Dad.
We're headed

You want to get outside

No, I'm okay.
Sooner or later, you're gonna

Oh, great.

Thank you so much.

[TRANSLATING IN JAPANESE]
This is Yamauchi Kazunori,
creator of "Gran Turismo,"
a racing game so accurate
it's inspired a love of driving
in 80 million players.
[JAPANESE TRANSLATION
PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES]
The realism, the physics...
[ENGINE STARTS]
the fidelity of the cars.
[ENGINE REVVING]
And re-created the world's
most famous racetracks
with meticulous attention
to detail.
They test these cars
over and over again.
All of this comes together
to give the player
the most realistic
driving experience.
So, when I came to Nissan,
my job was to call people
who defaulted
on their car payments.
Most of them say, "Go ahead,
take it. I don't want it."
They'd rather be on their phones
in the back of an Uber
than driving themselves.
Car buyers today don't dream
of the open road.
They don't associate their cars
with adventure.
But "Gran Turismo" players do.
This is an untapped
demographic of buyers
that we should be reaching.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
And how do you suggest
we do that?
By creating a contest
that offers the best
video game players in the world
a chance to compete
in professional racing.
[JAPANESE TRANSLATION
PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES]
If we can take one driver
from the virtual world
from behind their console
and put them into a race car,
onto a track and turn them
into a champion...
[SIGHS]
...Nissan will reignite
the dream to drive
in 80 million others.
[JAPANESE TRANSLATION
PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES]
[INHALES DEEPLY]
DANNY: Thank you.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
AKIBA:
Mr. Moore.
You left these upstairs.
You really believe
one of these players
could compete?
I do. Absolutely, yeah.
The, uh...
I've played the game,
and it's...
it's remarkable, actually.
You understand,
if we put them in our cars
and somebody was hurt,
we would all be responsible.
Yes, I understand. Yes. Yeah.
The board has agreed to
move forward with your program
under one condition.
You find
a certified chief engineer
to ensure that it's safe.
There can be no mistakes.
[LAUGHS]
Uh, absolutely. Of course.
[LAUGHS]
I wish you luck.
Uh, uh... [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
Thank you.

[ENGINE REVVING]
The fastest sim racers

Wow. What do you get

You get a bigger office

It's completely insane.

You really think that
you're gonna put some kid

into a 200-mile-an-hour rocket?
Hmm.
It'll tear him to pieces.
These players have clocked
more track time
than you have
in your entire career.
Oh, on, what do you call it,

You know that if you get

you can't hit reset, right?
How many guys you go to

A few.

Yeah, "a few."

But nobody with

Oh, God. Come on, man.
I haven't been chief engineer
in 15 years.
These kids,
they're outsiders, too.
I know it's unprecedented,
but so was a kid from Iowa
racing Le Mans.
Yeah.
Look how that turned out.
Don't you want to take racing
back from these pricks

they can just buy it?
I'm talking about

Don't you want

Mum, we've been over this

Motorsports engineering
is a step in that direction.
And I told you,
at university,
they didn't let us
drive the cars.
Not again
about the race cars.
Didn't you say,
"Always do something you love"?
Yes. Yes.
Yes.
I-I did, but I meant
within the realm of reality.
I played grassroots football
for years
before my first professional
contract.
Well, okay. Well, I can start
at the bottom.
I can work in the pits,
do car maintenance.
Yeah, but that's not

Dude, it was your account.
Wait. This is a joke.
No. It's a contest.
Press "play," dude.
If you're one of

it means that you set

You need to practice now.
[ENGINE ROARING]
Why don't you follow
the race line?
Just experimenting.

Racing.
It takes strength.
It takes tremendous will,
intelligence, sensitivity.
There's only a handful
of people in the entire world
who can do it at the level that
you're gonna be asked to do it.
When you're in a race,
the g-forces will be twice
what an astronaut experiences
upon liftoff.
And it's under these conditions
that you're gonna be
forced to make
split-second decisions
that could cost you your life.
Or worse, you could k*ll
someone else.
These are incredible stakes.
And if you're not willing
to risk it,
I want you to walk away.
There's absolutely no shame.

I'm gonna push you harder

Welcome.
[SCATTERED APPLAUSE]
Great pep talk, Churchill.

Well, I think

DANNY:
Look. Ahem.
This was my dream.
To take sim racers,
put them into real cars
and have them race
against professional drivers.
[ENGINES REVVING]
Now is your chance

Let's go!
[ENGINES ROARING]

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
JACK:
This is the first time
you've been in a race car,
as opposed to sitting
in front of a computer screen.
There's a lot of similarities
when it comes to throttle,
when it comes to braking.
How to take turns,
how to use brakes
and find your line
on the track.
I think this is the chance
we've all been looking for,
to actually become what
we wanted to our whole lives.
You never know how high
you can achieve.
Dreams can come true.
All right, Jann.
Jann? Okay.
Yes.
And just remember,
this whole thing is about
press readiness, okay?
DIRECTOR: Action.
When did you know that
you wanted to be a racer?
Uh, well, I liked cars
s-since I was a kid.
[ENGINES ROARING]
Go, go, go. Come on.
JACK:
You're going to compete
in different exercises
so that we can determine
whose sim skills translate
to driving a real car.
[ENGINE REVVING]
JANN [VOICE-OVER]:
I wasn't prepared
for just how physical
the demands of the car
were gonna be.
INTERVIEWER:
What do you think
about your competitors?
JANN:
They're great.
INTERVIEWER:
How about Matty?
To each his own.
He's obviously very confident.
Good for him.
What do you think about Jann?
Jann is the same
as any other driver
on the track.
Just another car to pass.
Matty with the answers.
Better strap in, too, man.
We're about to go fast.
Hey, let's see it.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
We're gamers.
We're competitive people.
JACK:
Let's go.
Keep it clean. Come on.
Oh, God.
This entire thing is
a marketing extravaganza.
Get in the chopper.
Let us get a few sh*ts.
Doing what?
Follow the kids
around the track.
Make some notes.
Act like an engineer.
Look cool.
[LAUGHS]
There's no way I would evaluate
race car drivers
from a helicopter.

Oh, God. Yeah.
I mean, he's...
he means it well.
He's tough,
but it's like tough love.
JACK:
I need you to be
faster than this.
Don't think. Just react.
You're gonna be hot in the car.
You're gonna be tired.
Focus!
[ENGINE REVVING]
Jack thinks we just suck.

What's your biggest fear?
I guess going home

You know, that... that this,
it was impossible

Passing is
the art of conviction.
You're coming into turn 15.
It's got a late apex.
The exit tightens.
You got to find

I don't know

Uh, you actually got
a bit lucky.
Yeah, I think I did.
Clearly, I mean,
you haven't been
behind the wheel before,
have you?
No, I don't think
any of us have.
The whole point is
to find someone who hasn't.
Well, I think the point
is to win, isn't it?
Is there a problem?
I don't know. Is there?
I'm in first place,

Hmm. He's humble, too.

But you heard Jack.
I mean, there's no shame

Yeah, did you hear that?
That's exactly what I heard.

JACK:
If you're not gonna
commit to a pass...
...if you...
if you, in the moment,
you decide,
"I'm not gonna go,"
I mean, you got to fall back.
You got to brake early.
I tried.
The brakes didn't respond.
Excuse me?
JANN:
I...
I tried to brake.
Hmm? Brakes not working?
And the brakes didn't respond.
That's not what I said.
Right.
But it felt like
they were glazed.
Oh, they were glazed.
Yeah.
They were glazed. How...
I mean, how do you know...
how do you know
something like that?
Because I've been driving
these cars for years.
[CHUCKLING]:
Okay.
In a video game.
We're in real life now, okay?
This is reality.
If you're not gonna commit,
if you're not gonna have
conviction on that track...
[TIRES SQUEAL]
...you make mistakes like that,
next time, we might not
be so lucky.
That's it.
Get out.
JANN:
Why do you think we're here?
Because we know
how these cars work.
I know what I'm talking about.
I'm not afraid.
[SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES]
Come on, man.
Doing this for 25 years.
I know when someone's afraid.
Best-case scenario,
that guy doesn't win.
And that's what we got here.
There's no shame in that.
It's okay.
It's a small percentage
of the population
that can do this, all right?
I get it.
But it's time to quit.
If those brakes don't turn out
to be glazed,
you're going home anyways.

you get your racing license.

to get your FIA license.
When you get that license,
Nissan will give you

You don't have the strength

For this one, though,
you got to prove
that you belong.
And nobody's gonna welcome you

I don't have a girl.

what happened at Le Mans.
I was in a wreck.
[SEAT BELT CLICKING]
[GRUNTS]
It was a beautiful day.
It was getting late
in that first day,
and I was coming out
of the Tertre Rouge corner.
I was coming up on a Ford.
As I passed him,
I saw his car twitch.
It was like a shiver.
And then he lost control.
Car flipped three times
before it hit the barrier.
Caught on fire like that.
[SNAPS FINGERS]
Medics came, pulled me out.
My gloves were on fire,
but everything else--
not a scratch.
That Ford was in
a thousand pieces.
Tony, the driver, he d*ed
on the way to the hospital.
They said it wasn't my fault.
I never got behind the wheel
of a race car ever again.
I lost my nerve.
More than that,
I lost the chance to find out
how good I could've been.
I quit.
And I've had to live with that
my whole life.
You want to walk away,
nobody would blame you.
Most people would.
I got a feeling
you're not most people.
I think you could be the best.
But if you want to prove it,
if you want to be a driver,
then you got to get back
on that track,
and you got to do it right now,
because if you don't,
you never will.
That crash is not gonna
define who you are.
But how you respond to it will.
Finish your lap.

The racing commission has

Good news is
they've cleared you.
Yeah, it's great news.
What's the bad news?
You looked at
your phone lately?
No.
Capa and some of the other boys
have taken to Twitter
to demand we have
our license revoked.
They even started
an anti-sim driver campaign.
Several of the other teams
have jumped on the bandwagon
and are independently launching
cases against us.
Got to be kidding me.
Could that work?
Well, let's face it--
it doesn't make it easy
for our sponsor
to keep carrying us.
Nissan is considering
shutting us down.
So...
We got to prove to them,
we got to prove to everyone
that we belong.
How?
By placing on the podium
at Le Mans
with a team of sim drivers.
[CHUCKLING]:
I'm sorry.
You're serious? Le Mans?
You... P-Podium at Le Mans?

we'd need two other drivers.

they've both been racing

since GT Academy.
I mean, they can do it.
I believe in you, Jann.
You've driven this a thousand
times before in the game.
You can do this in your sleep.
JACK:
Look, you've done
some amazing things, kid.
But Le Mans is...
it's a different animal.
It's the most
physically demanding,
technically challenging race
in the entire world.
It's dangerous.
It tests you.
I couldn't do it.
But I know that you can.
Do you know that you can?

You have the same power

Okay, copy.

[ENGINE REVVING]
Can you help me
Occupy my brain?
Oh, yeah
SPOTTER:
Whatever you're doing,
keep doing it.
You're on great pace.
[SONG STOPS]
Why don't you follow
the race line?
You see, the other guys,
they follow that line,
so if I go wide like this, I...
sometimes I b*at them--
like that.
[SONG RESUMES]
Jack, do you remember
where this whole
GT Academy idea thing
comes from?
Yeah, I'm listening.
The whole point of this thing
was to show
that GT drivers can drive,
okay?
I know this track.
I know the lines.
The line is not optimal.
Let me drive it my way.
Now, wait a minute.
The car won't hold.
DANNY:
Wait. What's he saying?
JANN: Yes, it will, Jack.

Hey. Hey, hey.
Please go back to the box.
What's happening?
Jann, listen.
Get him out of here!

Just finish the race.
There's too much at stake.
It's too big of a risk.
You cannot be here. Let's go.
