I have been watching the presentation but I still can't see what car is being shown... Any one else seen it yet? |

Press releases: http://assets.epresspacks.com/nissan/9M ... e_mans.pdf http://assets.epresspacks.com/nissan/9M ... rsport.pdf PR actually mentions "a potential return to LMP1 in the future" following this Garage 56 experiment. Couldn't care less even if the Garage 56 ran on fart gas as long as they keep avoiding actual racing. |

Yea I thought it looked like one, but I wasn't sure why they'd have one under wraps for some announcement, but obviously it makes sense now |

"Nissan to rebrand technology someone else developed and put their badges on it, whilst telling us how mad and extreme they are" #stickerengineering |

Nissan/Renault aren't particularly into spending big bucks like Audi and Toyota and they've seen Peugeot do it and how they couldn't sustain it. LMP1 doesn't seem like Ghosn's cup of tea, and Nismo getting back into big time Endurance GT with a GTR or even a Z makes more sense. Really, I'd like to see them announce GTE, GT3, and GT4 cars, and partnerships with more teams. And a new S-chassis. But that's just my fantasy. Close enough. |

First round of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo USA has been cancelled with the plan being to kick off in 3 weeks at Lime Rock with an extra race. No reason given, just silently dropped from the Mid Ohio Grand-Am schedule but probably down to too few entries/cars ready to race. |

the LFA GTE that never existed: http://www.racecar-engineering.com/news ... -revealed/ Quote: Toyota Motorsport GmbH, the Japanese marque’s top level motorsport subsidiary developed a GTE car to race in the 2012 WEC season. It had planned to race a single GTE car and a single LMP1 car that year and built cars to both specifications, the TS030 went on to contest the Le Mans 24 Hours, but the GTE car never officially existed. :O |

Dammit Toyota. That car looked so epic. No team like Stefan GP that can take over the project? |

The GTE Toyota(Lexus LFA) is indeed a very nice looking car. Hope the project will be carried on at some point in the near future for Le Mans, also. |
