What’s fact or fiction in Jann Mardenborough's biopic?
With Gran Turismo, PlayStation Productions offers fans of the beloved driving simulator a different kind of video game adaptation. Instead of creating a fictional story set in the Gran Turismo digital universe, the movie is inspired by the real-life journey of Jann Mardenborough, a passionate gamer who had the opportunity of a lifetime when Nissan offered him a position in their professional driving team.
While Gran Turismo remains true to the general idea of the GT Academy, the biopic changes the story. For starters, in the movie, the GT Academy is created by marketing executive Danny Moore , who’s inspired by Cox but doesn’t keep his name. Furthermore, in the movie, the entry process of the GT Academy is highly simplified.
Another big difference between the movie and Mardenborough’s real-life experience is that the driver didn’t shape his whole life around motorsports. In the biopic, Jann has always dreamed about becoming a professional driver. Still, the real Mardenborough just entered the GT Academy competition to have something to do in his gap year before college. As he told The Telegraph: “I just loved cars. Whatever motorsport was on TV at the time, I would watch it.
