Nismo withdraws from IMSA for 2016

Mick_12Nismo · 12-14-2015, 02:33 PM

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 sense.

BJ, can you shed any light on this?

WOW that sucks fat donkey balls.

Maybe they are using the money saved for extra R & D for the next gen Z.

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.
