Still wondering how the Hell you can make a movie about Gran Turismo that's really just the plot of every other racing movie, but alright https://t.co/Q06Mfi9o1G

Not gonna lie. I'm not a fan of gran turismo, and when I heard about this movie I said it couldn't work. This trailer looks super good though. Like this is insane. https://t.co/A3yXinj2yJ
