Watch What Happens When Soccer Stars Become Racecar Drivers

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to do a completely different job just for a day? Nissan UK is making that happen through their “dream job swap.” As Manchester United City Football Club’s official automotive sponsor, they organized this swap so that four top players on Manchester United and four top GT Academy drivers could trade places and step into one another’s shoes (or driver’s seat) for the day. "Through our partnership with Manchester City Football Club, we’ve been able to bring to life some of the ultimate passions of our fans – football and driving," said Nissan marketing director Chris Marsh. "Being able to make some of the country’s most celebrated talent accessible to our fans through this activity is what makes this partnership so exciting. Seeing the reaction from the players and drivers experiencing the dream job swap has been fantastic and we hope to get a similar reaction from viewers!" This idea was inspired by a study commissioned by Nissan that concluded that almost a third of 9-13-year-olds believed racecar drivers and soccer plays had the most exciting careers. They decided to put this study to the test, and recruited brothers Fernando and Eliaquim Mangala, Bacary Sagna, and David Silva to hit the track in a 218 PS Juke NISMO RS.
