Mark Preston: Pushing Boundaries in Motorsports and Beyond

The number of entrepreneurs that have had a Hollywood movie made about them is tiny. Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Jordan Belfort, Howard Hughes, Darren Cox . Orlando Bloom plays Darren Cox in the movie Gran Turismo. It tells the struggle, wins and failures Cox endured to get his breakthrough idea agreed, funded and renewed in a big, conservative corporation. 



On this episode, Darren Cox discusses his journey of innovation and disruption in the motorsport industry, from his role in establishing Nissan's GT Academy to adapting his media company during COVID. The conversation delves into Cox's early career aspirations, the strategic risk-taking in his professional journey, and the impact of the GT Academy in democratizing motorsport talent. Additionally, Cox shares insights on adapting to unforeseen challenges, such as pivoting his F1 media group during the pandemic, and the importance of pursuing one's passions despite potential obstacles.



Episode Highlights:

03:11 The Making of a Hollywood Movie: Gran Turismo's Journey

05:47 Reflecting on Success and the Power of Disruption

16:21 The Genesis of GT Academy: From Gaming to Racing

25:30 Navigating Corporate Culture: Pushing Innovative Ideas

32:26 The Gran Turismo Movie: Bringing a Dream to the Big Screen

Darren Cox is an innovator, disrupter, marketer, and pioneer in the F1 Drive to Survive era who has had his biggest project turned into a major Hollywood movie, ‘Gran Turismo”. Darren’s professional motorsport journey started when in 2005 he conceived an idea well ahead of its time, exploring whether a Playstation gamer could transfer from his sofa to the race track. “Gran Turismo’ tells the story of how Darren fought to launch and keep the ‘Gamer to Racer’ concept against pressure from Nissan and Playstation. As founder and CEO of a start up independent F1 media group, Darren drove the business to lead in terms of results and reputation in the F1 paddock within 3 years, exploiting the tsunami of interest generated by Netflix. As well conceiving GT Academy and other start up motorsport brands Darren is also behind landmark projects and concepts such as the Deltawing Le Mans entry, a new Marketing media awards platform for Motorsport and has run esports teams for Mercedes F1, Racing Point F1 (Aston Martin) and Fernando Alonso.
