Anyone been to their local cinema lately to see "Grand Turismo", the totally inaccurate story of British racing driver Jann Mardenborough?
Did you realise that he's one of our own? This is his E30 part way down this page: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=188377&p=2065840#p2065840 . I don't know if he still owns it, but it's currently taxed with a recently expired MOT, and has done very few miles over the last few years, but this is the car in which he first learnt his RWD driving skills.
The 'real car' part of GT Academy was run in the UK by Bob Neville of RJN Motorsport, who happens to be a mate of my brother in law, who helped a lot with the logistics, and was present at Silverstone when Jann was winning the competition, as well as when he was competing in his early races, so back at the time, I was getting a bit of inside info about his progress.

Small world Brian, he`s not been on for nearly six years which is a shame.
