    PlayStation GT Academy winners deemed “TOO FAST” for British GT
    Words by Christopher Kho


    Well that's disappointing. All four 2013 winners of Playstation's GT Academy have been denied entry into this year's British GT Championship on the grounds that they're “too fast” in a sport where going fast is the name of the game. Ironic isn't it?

    You see, back in 2012, GT Academy winner Jann Mardenborough entered the British GT Championship alongside Alex Buncombe in the national Pro-Am category. As the “amateur,” Mardenborough was expected to be slower of the pair, but proved otherwise. The two pushed their Team RJN Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 that they almost won the championship.

    Makes sense, I'm relatively quick, already, on the track, and I'm a mid-level GT5 player.

    Academy winners are otherworldly, already. But what you don't get from the press releases is the fact that many of them have amateur-level experience in motorsports before attempting to win Academy seats, and they have the raw skill and discipline to win a competition filled with tens of thousands of great drivers.

    And then GT Academy winners are sent to class to train... It's the innate skill and the classes given to them after winning that make them overqualified compared to the "gentlemen racers" they're up against, who are mostly older amateur racers with much less experience (and much more money).

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
