Fun Facts: The real Jann Mardenborough served as a stunt double for the film.

Jack Salter isn’t a real character.

There was a GT Academy but sadly, it closed down in 2016.

The film became controversial for using Mardenborough’s 2015 accident in the film.

Summary: A huge gamer joins the GT Academy hoping to get into professional racing.

The One Liner Review: Yeah, racing and underdog movies are practically the same, and yes, its a true story with the video game title slapped on but this does have really cool editing and is a fun race.
