Pericles Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Bathurst 12 hour Endurance race in saw the Nissan GT-R crowned champions after moving up from third in the dying stages of the race. Fantastic race overall. But why would you care? Two of the Nissan drivers are GT Academy graduates. Guys who qualified for training by sitting at home playing GT on their playstations, and now they are living the dream of lifting trophies from real motor races. There is something to tell your mums when she says you are playing too much video games Whole race This is not something you see everyday. Hitting a kangaroo at 220kmph. Ouch!

Yup..but these guys are as hardcore as they come.I also took part in the GT academy qualifying and I posted some fairly good times but still only managed to rank around 8000 world wide.So the top 100 ranked players are really really good racers,some are even better than the pros.
