Nothing wrong about that, we’re all excited! I’m hoping Nissan gets to be a front runner this time. The GT-R needs more time for the next chapter.

Could be an interesting season, will be watching closely...

'While Nissan has targeted a reduction in drag and increase in top speed with the new Z, four-time GT500 champion Quintarelli feels that even around a more technical layout like Okayama the car has the ability to fight against Toyota and Honda.'

186.4 mph might put me back in the Z game ? Yeah diff powerplant but body shape and aero gives me hope hah!

Four-time series champion Quintarelli said he was pleased to get confirmation that the new Z has eliminated one of the weak points of Nissan's previous GT500 model, the GT-R, whose high-downforce, high-drag philosophy made Fuji something of a weak track for the brand.

Hoping the new Z's body shape will be more competitive this season, subscribed to motorsport.tv

'The GT-R had too much drag and as a result was never competitive at Fuji Speedway, a particular disadvantage when the Toyota-owned venue hosted the season finale (where all cars have their success ballast removed). The new Z can be seen as a reaction to that, in much the same way as the 2020-spec GT-R was the inevitable result of the 2017 car not having enough downforce.'

Motul Nissan took 3rd on the maiden GT 500 race for the new Z, bravo, congrats!!! They sure have the speed, the Calsonic dropped from 2nd due to tires, ugh! Another Z came in 5th, not bad at all!
