Nissan to RML & WTCC
Heard some reports in the paddock at the weekend that RML return to WTCC with Nissan after Chevy have pulled out at the end of the year... And that they have already started work on the new car!
If true that will be great news to all people working on the chevy wtcc project

That would be fantastic news, a big boost for the championship. Fingers crossed! Also very curious about the car to run!

Probably some terrible-looking blobby hatchback.

The most realistic option is the new Sylphy Sentra. Very modern, but not very sporty.



Another option could be the new Note, but it lloks like a Fit or a Yaris, not like a lLeón or C30.

No! NO! NO! I wanted to see RML and Infiniti so badly in the DTM. Why did they have to go to the WTCC instead? What's the big deal beating Honda and Lada, when could be a contender to Mercedes, Audi and BMW? But I'll wait for any official confirmation. Maybe someone mixed up the touring car championships.

Yes! Even choosing WRC over WTCC would have been a better judgement.

More than wishful thinking I know, but if only that could be McGregor with Coronel involved... Ok, back to reality!

Well, S2000 actually has some relevance to road cars.. There's that.

And does Nissan want to contend with Mercedes, Audi and BMW? What if they want to show off a smaller car?

S2000 is a good formula, the WTCC just needs the works teams. Nissan would help make the championship stronger.

If they turned up the boost a bit and made the cars a bit quicker, it would be a viable series.

There are rumours RML is working on an official Bentley GT3 project.

Very true. I was just reading an old Autosport article the other day about when they ran the Nissan BTCC team and the Vauxhall British Rally Championship team at the same time. Different personel, different buildings, same company.

Is there any possible to use LEAF to promote Nissan as a clear power brand?

There is talk of hybrids racing in the WTCC so maybe we might see the Leaf.

Since they're racing in the US now, it makes sense to race the new Sentra.

The Sentry/Sylphy makes sense, except for Europe (isn't available).

Can you buy it in Morocco or Russia?

Anyway bringing up a point from a few months ago, Nissan is planning a modern version of the Pulsar GTI-R.
