Nissan to bring the GTR to Le Mans 2015

Pint posted this on FB, but I figured I'd post it here for y'all. Plus the second video is pretty cool.

They're going to join the LM P1 class and take on Audi for the win.

I for one will back them, as I'm simply tired of seeing Audi go wire to wire. It's boring to see the same team win year after year.

The LM P1 program was announced on "23" May, which could in itself prove to be a good omen. In Japanese pronunciation, 2 is "ni" and 3 is "san," so 23 is Nissan's lucky number. In addition to this, May is the fifth month of the year, and the Japanese write May 23 as 5.23. The numeral "5" is "go" in Japanese, so May 23 appears as "Go, Nissan!"

Those clever bastards.

I only recall the Nissan R390 GT1 in Lemans many years ago.
