I’ve read it may ditch the twin turbo unit for the 4.5-liter VK45D8 V8.
Nissan yet still don’t trust the V6 engine for reliability in races.

Whats the point of running it outside of the championship.

Ive never heard of that sort of thing being done before.
No matter what the category, i would have thought you would have to register to enter the track, hence putting you on the championship ladder.
I cant see the other teams liking this arrangement as the GTR could be out there doing its own thing while others actually have a battle for a championship on their hands

That would make Nissan the first Japanese maker In this series,good on them,but i doubt it will be AWD,all the cars in this series are RWD.
