Knowing their car is designed for le mans+won't suit shorter racetracks=realistic decision

I'm sure Darren Cox will find a way to hype this to be a master-stroke by Nissan. The man's a bullshit maestro.

Meh. They'll get fined for missing the races but that's negligible amount of money vs. likely bad showings at both/either race.

Straight to LM with 3 cars... wouldn't expect much.

Alex Zanardi has been announced to embark on his very first 24-hour endurance debut at the Spa 24 Hours at the end of July.

As a works BMW driver, Zanardi will race a modified Z4 GT3, first at Paul Ricard at the end of June and then at the 67th edition of the classic Spa 24 Hours.

Audi has changed a bit. And also moves up to 4MJ (http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/118127), but Toyota and Porsche were already in 6MJ and they have not announced yet this year's plan.

Well, the livery has not. How original. Looks like a quick "lets somehow make it less white so that it doesn't look like the other white car (Porsche)" fix.

Rebellion not starting in Silverstone and Spa either.

Sigh, we'll be stuck with 26 cars at Spa again at this rate.

Silverstone skip was decided back in February and it was because of the late decision to change engine supply from Toyota to AER V6, now sounds they're still not ready with that. So no red flag.
