Welcome to the coolest thing you"ll see this week. To celebrate the launch of Gran Turismo Sport (stay tuned for our full review) for the PlayStation 4, Nissan called upon a company called JLB design to convert the gamers" favourite a (in this case standard, 2011MY) Nissan GT-R into a life-size, 542bhp, 196mph remote-controlled car you drive not with a normal controller, but a PS4 joypad.And to test its mettle Nissan needed a driver. I wasn"t available, so Nissan called its gamer-turned racer Jann Mardenborough, flew him from Japan to Silverstone and gave him a tiny little chopper (that had been given special dispensation to operate at a low altitude) from which he could control the car. Well, he couldn"t just stand at the side of the track now, could he?
