Gamers as Racecar Drivers - Lucas Ordoñez Takes 3rd in Real-Life Race at GT4 Cup (VIDEO)
Lucas Ordoñez Takes 3rd in Real-Life Race at GT4 Cup

Lucas Ordoñez, who took third place at the GT4 Cup at Silverstone, is no typical professional racecar driver. He’s actually earned his spot on the GT Academy team in a way that no other professional racecar driver before him has done—by kicking ass at video games.

Lucas Ordoñez competed in and won the Nissan/Playstation GT Academy contest, which pitted avid gamers against each other playing ‘Gran Turismo’ for a slot in the real-life European GT racing championship.

The crew’s captain only predicted the GT Academy team would land in the top six, but Lucas Ordoñez took advantage of a crash late in the race and sped his way to third place in the GT4 Cup. Not bad for a nerdy gamer!
