An excellent 28-minute feature on 2014 North American GT Academy champion Nicolas Hammann was published on Hulu earlier today. It tells the story of Nic’s life: from his passion to cars and motorsport at a young age, to his involvement with Gran Turismo and the GT Academy program, to ultimately racing in the 24 Hours of Dubai last January.
It becomes an emotional tale after a surprise visit from his parents in Dubai – and offers an inside look at the gritty highs, lows, and pressure faced by a new driver participating in his first international endurance race.
For more perspectives from Nic, check out the extensive behind-the-scenes write-up he shared with GTPlanet earlier this year.
