Next time someone tells u to stop wasting time playing video games,
Tell them about lucas ordonez.The 25 year old Spaniard is gearing up to race in the le mans 24hour race.
only 3 years ago, Mr ordonez was just another gamer,then in 2008 while studying for an MBA,he entered an online driving competition against 25,000 other racing nuts.
he won the inaugural GT academy,run by Sony PlayStation and Nissan,in which gamers competed on a PS3 in a time trial on Gran turismo 5.the prize was a seat in the Dubai 24hour event.
Mr ordonez then secured an international racing licence and has raced in Nissan gt4 race cars,leading to his Le mans seat.

if your a ps3 gamer with a full license and a copy of GT5 you can enter the 2011 nissan gt academy.
