U.S. GT Academy winner Bryan Heitkotter recently sat down for an in-depth one-on-one video interview with InsideSimRacing‘s Darin Gangi. Bryan discusses his background, what it was really like to come up through the ranks of GT Academy USA, and how he’s making the most out of his time with Nissan in preparations for the 24 Hours of Dubai.
As you may recall, he’ll be joining fellow GT Academy champions Lucas Ordoñez, Jordan Tresson, and Jann Mardenborough in less than two weeks’ time for the endurance race. Stay tuned to GTPlanet for complete coverage of the event, January 12-14!

Good interview the guy has good driving skills.
Living the dream.
what a awesome guy. I am from Australia and I hope this spreads right round the country. He deserved it and he can clearly drive. I wish him all the best in his career and I will follow him all the way. Good luck at Dubai and hopefully we will be seeing you at Le Mans in 2012 or in the years to come. I will be watching! Oh and I added him on PS3, hopefully might get to race with him one day :)
Someone tell me I wasnt the only one that saw r1600turbo at the #4 spot on the gt academy leaderboards.
You did. Think it was #5 though. Why?
Nah, you must have been 4th. Some other guy was 5th.
just saying, you were in an interview for bryan. i’d feel special just for that.
He’s really a great guy, too bad the 24h of Dubai isn’t broadcasted anywhere, I’d love to see the whole team of GT Academy drivers racing.
Man, this guy is awesome and a insparation to all who lives in the United States! Thanks Brian, now your dreams are being witnessed by everyone in the world with Lucas and Jan in the GT Academy and I give my wishes to you guys in Dubai. Good luck guys, and when GT Academy USA begins again, I can’t wait to be racing with you guys and your team! :)
He truly did deserve to win. Let’s hope the dream team takes 1st at Dubai, they have the skill to win.
Iracing guy talked a lot about himself :p
Wow 0.0 What a great guy Bryan is. :) He’s so awesome, I even want him to be my hero like the others. :D I hope one day, I’ll be able to push myself to chase my dreams like Bryan did. Bryan, you really rock our friend. ;)
i remember his gt3 gran dorifto video from way back. one of the first to drift in gt. so amazed by his success.
What a totally humble & awesome guy, you sir have given me inspiration to push my times. The set ups he has are the same as so many of us so we know we can do great things too.
GT Academy: Australia???
Very Lucky guy.. But he did work very hard for it.
It was cool to see his rigs and the top gear inspired bit was a nice touch. Good stuff!
Best of luck in Dubai.
