So are they gonna have a proper manual Gtr or is it gonna be a paddle automatic Gtr if it is a proper manual Gtr is good but if is not I go play Granturimo on PS3 and change gear with the PS3 controller.

The Nurburgring is the GT-R’s claim to fame Richo.

Nissan actually uses that exact line in their press release, I felt it was most definitely necessary to include it.

Yep, nice little pressie for buying a GTR, as if buying one wasn’t good enough in the first place! The fact the training is around the ring is even better! One question though, how can a japanese cars “spiritual home” be in Germany? anyway i’m nit picking

Lol TrackDaze, but here in Melb its always a commie!

I think regardless every new owner of a GTR should get a complimentary advanced driving training, these cars are beasts that drivers should be weary of its potential…

Icing on the cake really. You might be waiting a while if your at the end of the UK queue.

Money would be better spent on training all the knob jockeys driving R33 GT’s on how not to put telegraph pole dints in the sides of their cars.

That’d be awesome driving ANYTHING let alone an R35 around “the ring”. I’ve done hundreds of laps of the Nurburgring in GT4. Love it.

There was only one or two reported cases, not too bad for a car that picks up speed so rapidly, and at least one of them was in the city.

I think Nissan sees that people will track this car and is giving people the chance to have a feel of it before taking delivery.

Could this be because of those crashes we seen when the car first came out….? Nissan hates seeing their baby in a pulp… and so do I

Thats a very kind gesture by Nissan.

You know what would be an even nicer gesture – confirming sales in Australia and taking orders!
