Not bad on the GT500 and 300 results, not the best but reliable platform for overall points, Round 4 done, four more to go. Here's to all the Nissan teams!!

Yup indeed, year of the Z! The new Z has more race miles than their street versions ? :rolleyes::mad:
(even if not mechanically the same)

"Baguette, who in hindsight can be said to have timed his move from Honda to Nissan over the winter to utter perfection, feels that Nissan struck a perfect balance between downforce and drag, enabling the car to be competitive at a variety of different tracks - unlike the 2020 version of the GT-R, which was king at Suzuka but off the pace elsewhere.

“The Z was definitely the more consistent car across all the tracks,” Baguette told Motorsport.com."

Sad, no more famous Calsonic sponsorship!

"Intriguingly, the famous Calsonic name has disappeared from the livery of the title-winning Impul GT500 team, with its new parent company Marelli taking its place on the 'blue' car.

There is a similar change at NDDP which will have a new title sponsor in Niterra - the rebranded NGK Spark Plug company - following the departure of its previous partner Craftsport. However, the car will continue to carry the famous red colours of NISMO."

New livery Team Impul, no more Calsonic? Good luck to the team!

There’s your proper wing size and placement.
