Holy ****!

Glad I am going to V8 supercars, although really, now I'm going to see the WC, and some aussies will be there, too.

We are excited about being able to check out the new Nissan Altima V8 Supercar in person which will be in attendance as well. Overall there should be a very good Nissan presence on track between both series.

Hell yeah.

If it's not too hot, I may actually drive the Z down there, who knows.

Having just watched the F1 race, COTAS looks great. Go nissan!

Excellent. Look forward to seeing you guys at Belle Isle again!

Called the track today, they won't confirm anything of course, but I framed all of my questions around the V8 Supercars race.

They haven't released details on paddock access packages yet, so I got on the list of people for them to call when they become available... For me, not much point in going JUST to watch the race. I wanna snoop around the infield and try to absorb some ideas on how to prep the Z!

Go Nissan!WC 2013:driving:

Can't wait to see you folks at COTA. Be ready. The track will eat your brakes for breakfast and tires for lunch. But it is a great technical track to drive and as smooth as an airport runway. I had way too much fun on it last month. Here is wishing you all well.

Best of luck in 2013!
