Il torneo della GT Academy 2012 by Sony e Nissan è già entrato nel vivo con le prime selezioni, vi segnalo quindi una interessante intervista fatta dal portale di GTPlanet a Jann Mardenborough, trionfatore della GT Academy europea edizione 2011.
GTP: The final GT Academy prize – the Dubai 24 Hour race – is one serious challenge. 24 hours in desert heat and unusual hazards like drifting pyrotechnic display smoke. How did you train yourself for the physical and mental demands of such a race?JM: The Dubai 24 Hour race is a tough race, you have to deal with vast amount of cars varying in speed and driver ability. It stays dark at that time of year for around 11hours too. Lots of challenges. Well the training I had at with GT Academy team has been the best. Driver mentors to put me on the correct path at a race weekend, lots of Rotax Max karting and of course physical training including a marathon! I had psychology training tied in with simulator sessions. All of that training helped the GT Academy team get a 3rd in class at the Dubai 24h.
