Tonight (Wednasday 4th) there is a show on Channel 4 called faking it.

The premise is that it takes a person with zero experience in a given field,
provides a month's intensive training, then sees if he/she can pass themself
off as expert to people who *are* experts but are completely unaware of the
setup.

Tonight it's a videogame tester who plays racing games being coached by
David Coulthard to pass himself off as a bona-fide driver...

Should be interesting...

Regards,

guys name is Philip Deane, ran a google search and it looks like he came 8th
out of 9 in a BARC Formula Renault race at rockingham earlier this year.
also had his videography (is that even a word?) from one of the developers,
and it doesnt look like he's beta'd any proper racing sims (although i could
be wrong).

according to the sunday papers review of the show (its critics choice in the
times), phil didnt really get along with his mentors, and they didnt get
along with him.

now if he'd played GPL before this all happened.......

What a complete ***. Talking about some mechanic over tightening the cap
on his 'water bottle', causing a misfire....

Two of the three judges picked him as the faker, the other one thought he
was so bad that he was a red herring.

I would have killed people to have an opportunity like that!
