Nismo withdraws from IMSA for 2016

Well this bums me out..... Nissan says they want to focus effort on GT-Rs in PWC. I'm guessing IMSA's asking price to be an "official automotive partner" didn't make any

Pretty bummed about this, really like all their drivers and Steven is a personal friend. Just a great group of people with some awesome cars. This summer's races were some of the best race's I have watched in a while.

Wow, this is very sad and disappointing...I'm glad I did erase the last two races from my DVR.
