The first episode of the 2014 GT Academy contest will be broadcast on MBC Action tomorrow at 10:30 PM (KSA time).
GT Academy takes the top car-racing video gamers and attempts to transform them to real-life professional racers. Five of the fastest GT video gamers in the Middle East, including two from Lebanon, were put to the test at the Silverstone Circuit – home of the British Grand Prix – where they received rigorous mental and physical training to prepare them for optimal racing condition.
Evaluating the contestants’ performance were some of the most illustrious names in motorsport, including Lebanese rally champion and Red Bull athlete Abdo Feghali.
