Nismo big announcement on 2/26?

Eagle

The way I see it this is a start. Le Mans in 2014 is a great goal for them to have and I welcome them returning with a true factory presence since their last appearance in 1999with the R391.

Since then Nissan has been cautious about getting into works funded racing ventures because of the cost involved and the risk.

This is a good sign. This means they have money, a plan and low enough risk to do it and possibly win. Either way, this means we as customers will benefit from the R&D that gos into their cars by way of whatever solutions and technology are developed.

Bottom line is racing feeds production, especially when your demographic is shifting to performance cars again. Which from 1999 till the past few years, Nissans demographic hasn't been performance/sports cars oriented, it's been all about the Maxima and Sentras.

Hopefully this announcement will start to get Nissan back to it's roots
