Hey everyone, Span is here. I've got possibly the coolest interview we've ever had here

0:10.0

on the show. Here on Mistypex, obviously we're massive motorsport fans, but we're all

0:14.9

so keen simraces of varying talent. So if you tell me there's a movie about a simracer

0:20.6

that ended up on real tracks around the world because of how good a simracer he was, I would

0:25.0

say, hook me up. Well, there is such a movie. It's called Gran Turismo based on the real

0:29.6

life GT Academy that took the best simraces in the world and put them on track. Joining

1:29.6

reached out, we jumped on the phone, and we just started talking incredibly honestly

1:35.4

and openly, you know, I was just so grateful for how, for how the trust that he's going

1:41.2

to put in me and how open it unless he was with me about his life. And I just wanted to

1:46.0

know everything, even if it wasn't going to be in the film, I just asked him to start

1:49.4

talking about your life. And then those conversations just didn't stop. Jan was on set with us the
