As you’ve probably heard by now, GT Academy winner Lucas Ordoñez and his teammates Franck Mailleux and Soheil Ayari drove an incredible race at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. Despite two unfortunate tire punctures, they pushed their Signatech Oreca Nissan back up through the field of LMP2 cars – all the way to a second place class finish in the world’s toughest endurance race. “Today all of my dreams came true,” said Lucas. “Three years ago I won an amazing prize but never in my wildest dreams did I think that it would take me all the way to the Le Mans podium. I have been on the biggest adventure you could ever imagine and I must thank Nissan and PlayStation for creating GT Academy!
I also have to thank my two teachers, Franck and Soheil, from who I have learnt so much, and of course the Signatech Nissan boss, Philippe Sinault. |
This not only marks another amazing chapter in the story of Lucas’ racing career, but increases the international prestige of GT Academy and the Gran Turismo brand, and hopefully will bring a new level of awareness and respect for this virtual hobby so many of us enjoy. Congratulations to Lucas, Soheil, Franck, and the entire Signatech team on a job well done! |
