The race for the 2015 LeMans title is over and Porsche finally triumphed over Audi after chasing them for years. Nissan was never in the fight and there's no other way to sugarcoat it. While I'm glad Nissan made the return to LeMans and the top level of sportscar (prototype) racing, the end results will bear some heavy scrutiny within Nissan and NISMO. The cost of racing is HIGH and usually only justified if you are winning (or almost winning) in the pro ranks. No bonus points for being the most innovative unless you are at the top. I hope this effort will be refined and continued, but at this point, there are no plans to even run any of the cars the rest of this year. As for the future, it's hard to even speculate...
