This is terriblely a bad news and Nissan is not showing good signals in the racing word and enthusiast alike.

So I guess all of this has no meaning at all on my Z!!!

Maybe they are using the money saved for extra R & D for the next gen Z.
I doubt it, most R&D is derived from racing, not the other way around With Nissan focusing on the GTR the Z may just go the way of the Dodo Bird again.

Nissan's Christmas card to the employees.

"Merry Christmas m'therf'ckers!"
"GET OUT!"

That just plain f'cking sucks!

Pretty piss poor way of doing business. Heck cuts are needed but there are much better ways of handling it.

Nismo GTR LMP1 project was a huge failure...they did not generate much media and consumer attention. Besides 2 GTRs failed to finish the Lemans the other one finished dead last.

Was already an indication of pack your bags and leave.

This is a complete bummer. Doran was so competitive this year with the Z.
