YouTube plays host to a lot of fan-made tribute videos. Every once in a while, one comes along that stands out. This is one of those times.
GTPlanet member Luka Zavisic has liked cars pretty much as long as he can remember. When he was four, his father set him up with a PlayStation, TOCA 2, and a wheel. Luka was hooked, but it was the year after, when his dad introduced him to Gran Turismo 2, that one of Luka’s long-term passions was born.
In the nearly two decades since, Luka’s gained others, including a talent for the piano and guitar. Looking for a way to combine all three, Luka and his father put together the video below:

Zavisic dedicated the video to Kazunori Yamauchi, and the Gran Turismo creator recently thanked him while sharing the video on his official Twitter. Our hats off to Zavisic — and now, our hope for a new, MOTC-backed intro video grows…
