Lorrenzi & Tresson Win Nissan GT Academy 2010

Posted on March 3rd, 2010 in Console – 2 Comments

Italian Luca Lorenzini and Frenchman Jordan Tresson have won the second edition of Sony’s and Nissan’s GT Academy, making a giant leap towards a race driver career.

Lorenzini and Tresson proved to have the most talent to make it in professional racing, beating sixteen other contestants that came to Silverstone for the grueling five-day final of the 2010 GT Academy. What started as purely virtual competition last December got very real at Silverstone as the drivers had to prove their fitness and skills driving various Nissan road cars as well as in practical and written test, watched by an expert jury made up of well-known racers.

Last year’s GT Academy jury-member Johnny Herbert was joined by road racer Rob Barff, former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan and Nürburgring expert Sabine Schmitz.

When all the dust settled, Lorenzini and Tresson were the two winners but only one of them will be enjoying a fully-paid season in the FIA GT4 championship as both drivers will be starting an extensive driver training programme next week that will determine who receives the season-drive.
