This is too cool to comprehend

1st March 2011

Lucas Ordoñez, winner of the inaugural Nissan and PlayStation GT Academy competition in 2008, will demonstrate once again the success of the innovative gamer-to-racer competition when he lines up on the grid of the famous Le Mans 24 Hours this year. The 25-year-old Spaniard will contest the full Intercontinental Le Mans Cup in 2011 behind the wheel of a Nissan-powered LMP2 car for the Signatech Nissan team.

That's fantastic for him...and definitely a dream come true!

After a great drive in Le Mans and a second place in yesterdays race on Imola I must say that he does drive very steady and calm. Curious if they can move up one spot on the ladder in Silverstone.
