Gran Turismo Movie Thread

Saltburn a better film than GT imo.

No less realistic though. Didn't see Chocolini's once, nor the cliff lift. It's like they filmed in a completely different town and pretended.

Had to Google that to get what you meant.

I see Drayton House is only an our from Silverstone.

So could make for an interesting weekend, reliving the film and some motor racing

it was an entertaining movie.

even though i couldnt help criticize some parts, i just basically turned my brain off and watched it.

Yup, suspending disbelief is IMHO the #1 requirement for enjoying any movie at all.

I actually watched it twice and 2nd time was a bit more entertained knowing how the movie plays out /ends.

I think that David Harbour carried the whole movie, he's pretty amazing considering the rest of the cast IMO

It's still definitely the best video game based movie or TV show

Shame Jann's dad wasn't in it more. He was great in it (and everything else he's in)

The Gran Turismo movie is now on Netflix (in the UK at least)

It was an entertaining movie to watch as I knew along that it was a struggle of a triumphant underdog. The final outside corner driving lines he took to podium Le Mans weren’t true. You have to be able to defy the laws physics to do such. If the writers knew anything about racing they could have included real moves that would’ve been accurate and more exciting to watch. Passing completely around the outside of a corner 🤮

Passing round the outside never happens...

Those are F1 cars, LMP2 cars at Le Mans are a different beast...you just do not pass on outside at Le Mans, it's not a safe move...

in case you forgot , the movie is based on a video game …I never seen Jann race but I doubt he drove the same way as the movie showed

Actually, he was one of the stunt drivers.

I know that …I meant in real races

After watching F1 I think GT has a better story. The F1 movie was a bit far fetched for me.

The best racing film I’ve seen recently is Le Mans 66 (Ford v Ferrari). But even that took liberties with the truth - old Enzo never went to Le Mans, he barely left Italy after the war.

Also "using your rage" never made a car faster.

If he had said "use the force" though...

But is it OK to pass on the outside at the Hungaroring?

No...
