for the past couple years i had heard about petit le mans from friends and how awesome it was but had never gotten the opportunity to go. this year, nissan is fielding an LMGT prototype car (driven by the winner of the PS3 Gran Turismo 5 challenge winner currently on Speed channel) as well as Brass Monkey's nismo 370z. because of this, nissan offered a hospitality suite to support their racing efforts. members of NAGTROC, the370z.com, and most of the Z1 Motorsports shop crew attended and we all had a great time. pit tours, food, drinks and other exclusives were included. i was very happy with my results from this event and that's making it hard to pick favorites so be sure to check out the entire album of pictures!!
