Gran Turismo

 Cinghiale from Osteria Papavero, Madison Wisconsin.


Gran Turismo, 2023, directed by Neill Blomkamp. This movie tells the true story of Jann Mardenborough, a young guy from Great Britain who was a highly skilled player of the auto racing simulation game, Gran Turismo. Nissan launched a marketing campaign among these sim players to bring one of them into the real world of auto racing. It sounds crazy, but that's what they did. Jann Mardenborough won Nissan's competition among sim players. 

Mardenborough acted as a stunt driver in the film. Also, seven special effects companies were involved in production. I don't know where the practical effects ended and the special effects began. But it was effective. It's a good racing movie.
